Summer 2023 Participant
My favorite part of the program was the relationships developed with the students, as well as with the Kyunghwa teachers. I left Korea feeling a part of their community and was constantly surprised by how welcoming and willing to help the KU students everyone was. Never did I feel unsafe or worried about much during my time in Korea--I always knew the staff at Kyunghwa would be there to support us.

Summer 2024 Participant
My favorite part of the TEIK program has to be being able to walk away from this program knowing that myself and the other student teachers really helped to make a difference in the student's lives. I know that I will hold my memories of Kyunghwa very fondly for the rest of my life and I am truly grateful that I got to teach English and completely immerse myself in another culture!

Summer 2024 Participant
I learned so much valuable information about Korean/Asian culture. It is an experience that is impossible to replicate without physically going there.
