hey there! welcome to my channel! my name is karla and I love traveling, spreading positivity, and sharing my life on the internet! I hope you stick around and say hello :)
You’re welcome! I hope it was helpful! As for the TEFL certificate, the website in which you complete the course should have an option to download the certificate on your computer and you can upload that file to your epik application.
Could you link similar adapters that you brought with you? The sliding feature on yours looked really compact! would appreciate it- I will be going to Ewha the Fall semester of 2024
Hi! My study abroad experience is unrelated to my current job as an english teacher. It was just an exchange semester abroad to finish my bachelors degree from my home university. I have no previous teaching experience. I just applied to EPIK and you only need a college degree and a TEFL certificate to be considered. Hope this helps! :)
i was getting so nervous when you were the one about to give a demo lesson plan 😭 i think i should get a headstart at making lesson plans as i'll be applying for the EPIK soon. this was really helpful! hoping to see more of your journey as a teacher there ♡
I was nervous all week about it lol but honestly it’s not too bad! As long as you do your best, you have a good attitude, and you come prepared, you will be okay! Wishing you the best on your EPIK journey! 🫶🏼
@karlayaneth Hi, can I ask you a questions. What is your brand language? And Did you by chance, take an adapter. Which adapter would you recommend? If you don’t mind me asking you.
Thank you for this info! I studied abroad in Seoul in 2019 and am wanting to apply to EPIK for spring 2025. I didn’t even know about the tattoo thing so thank you for mentioning that. I have my arms and legs pretty much covered in tattoos so I’m a little worried about that but I am able to cover them easily with long shirts/pants. I hope Korea is treating you well 💕
Hello. From the letter of recommendation section it sounded like It could come from any employer even if they're not a teacher. I hope that's right. I graduated several years ago and only one professor remembers me.
I didn't have a meal stipend or meal plan. I ate out most of the time at nearby restaurants. A lot of the nearby restaurants are usually very affordable because most of their customers are college students.
I'm starting this a lot later in life than most. I have a question on the letters of reference. My TEFL course is an online one, and they said no to using them for reference. Therefore, all I have is my current supervisor
Hi, thank you for your information. My partner passed all documents process. We are waiting for the area where he is going to work.My question is can he arrive in Korea few days earlier than epik training period if his visa is all processed. Because we are living together and we want to finish the rent at the same time. I wonder we can fly together and he can join the training. Epik does not want to tell any other details about training and timeline. It is quite frustrated situation…. Please let me know thank you
Hi! From my personal experience, the EPIK orientation starts the day you arrive to Korea. I'm not sure if your partner is allowed to arrive sooner than the start of the orientation. I'm sorry that EPIK isn't providing you with more information. Maybe you can try contacting them over the phone to describe your situation. Most EPIK coordinators will have their contact information in their emails.
Hi! I have asked this question on a few different forums so I was curious if you knew the answer! I am currently receiving certification for TESOL via my university, and I was curious if it could work the same as the TEFL? I was a bit confused and had always seen both of them in the requirements for different programs!
Hi! I believe a TESOL or TEFL certification are both accepted! I don't believe the requirements have changed since I first applied but I know that EPIK's website has the most up to date information :)
Thank you so much for making this video it was very informative! I am a visual learner, so your example of documents helped so much. I was wondering if you can explain a little bit how getting documents apostille works. Like do I request my university transcripts/federal background check, then once I receive those documents I take them somewhere to be apostille.
Hi! Yes, you first want to request your university transcripts and federal background check. Once you get those documents, you can get them apostilled. I used Monument Visa to apostille my documents.
okay thank you! I will probably take the 120 hour one because its cheaper I just wanted to make sure I could get hired by EPIK with the 120 one@@KarlaYaneth
I just came back from Korea on 6th September and I think there's no need to take anything that you can't buy or borrow from your hotel in Korea except those things which you need in perticular brand and composition. Buy some sanitary pads because they are costly.
hi girly your video has helped me immensenly!!!! i have a quick question, for the demo lesson for the interview, can we use the same lesson plan from the application you put down? or we have to come up with another one ?. youre very beautiful by the way!! <3
Hi! Thank you so much! I'm so glad this video was helpful for you :) As for your question, I believe the interviewer will choose the topic for you. So even though for the application I did my lesson plan on morning routines, I ended up having to do a demo lesson on "weather" during the interview. I highly recommend having a rough idea on some terms for each lesson topic that they tend to ask about in the interview. This includes emotions, prepositions, colors, family, shapes, morning, weather, body parts, counting, comparatives. I hope this helps!
Thank you so much. It was very informative. Can you do me a favor of explaining the sealed transcript section , is it the original one I need to mail or the copy or could you please explain it to me. A bit confused with that.
Hi! So for the sealed transcript, I requested that my university mail me a sealed transcript and once I received that letter in the mail, I mailed it to EPIK along with other documents they requested. That means I did not open the letter since it should be sealed and unopened when it arrives to EPIK.
