Program Reviews:
Tessa Renee Newberry, Summer 2017 Participant
This program is really unique. It's a chance to not only challenge yourself as a teacher, but also as a person. The program is a good blend of cultural exposure with a strong support system. If you come into this program with an open mind and a willingness to be understanding and communicative, you'll have a great time and come out better for it. I learned a lot about myself and Korea. The culture shocks come in unexpected areas and it takes a conscious effort to be willing to accept them. I found this helpful for my intracultural relationships also though. I think it teaches a lot of patience and willingness to make an effort in differences.

I found teaching most rewarding because of the students. They were so engaged and willing to participate in our lessons. Monitoring their individual progress and increased confidence in English was so rewarding.

Hazara Leon, Summer 2017 Participant
You really do learn how to balance work and school. As a college student this is a very valuable skill for learning to manage your life during your four years of college. Another great skill that you acquire is building connections. As you immerse yourself in the culture you begin to build friendships with your peers, students, Kyunghwa teachers, and even the people in the community.
