Such an amazing experience - the welcome to the village and local culture was very special. The school and teachers were incredible and what I hadn't planned for was how great it would be to meet the other volunteers - there are some inspiring people out there doing good work and it was humbling to meet them. The team was helpful and supportive and the food and accommodation fine for our needs.The local team was informative, welcoming, kind and helpful. Thank you.

I found the supervisors per Email and on site to be very friendly and helpful. Jin, in particular, assisted me greatly. The children were very sweet and open to learning. I also felt secure because we were told what and how to teach. Seoul is a great city, and I would definitely like to return. The accommodation was very clean and very well located. It was close to the train and only a few minutes' walk from Hongdae Center. And as I said, the team on site was very nice and helpful. Especially JIN! I would have liked it better if we had spent more time with the children. And if we had seen one class regularly, we could have built up a little rapport with the children. Or rather, the children would have felt more comfortable because they knew us.

Working with the children in the kindergarten was great, and I also really enjoyed being in different groups. I learned a lot of new things and would do it again. The accommodation was very nice and the food was always very good. The pool is also very nice and great for cooling off. The Team was allways helpfull and super nice. More variety by the food

I loved it. The children were well behaved and had good support from the people that worked there. Good transport to locations as well. Sometimes we do need the teacher to help support or just be there as some just saw it as an escape. The local team were so amazing and helpful , miss them. Beds were a bit stiff but basic. Food was amazing. Loved the fried rice and noodles. Also had an option to go markets. Just beds more comfy probably. Knew that was the consensus of most people.
