I am with them.

Couldn't recommend them more highly - very helpful and always reply to all my emails. Beofre I came they answered all my questions and gave me loads of advice on teh visa process and where to find relevant information.

Also - I did not have any letter proving my Trinity TESOL was 100 hours - they found a webpage which stated all Trinity TESOLs are 100+ Hours unless otherwise stated. This led to EPIK raising my salary by W100,000 a month, very happy.

I am currently having some beef with my school over work hours, ATOP have helped me with lots of information and supplied me with relevant contact details of people at the local Dept of Education who can help me. Moreover, they are on my side not the schools.

I feel they go out of their way to help me, which is nice Cool

I went through them as well, and I would highly, highly recommend them. By far, the best recruiting agency that I've worked with to land a job in Korea.

Don't just use ATOP, though. Use as many recruiters as you can. Unless you're applying to public school education offices, like EPIK, GEPIK, etc. Only send in one application, though one recruiter, to each education office. But for hagwons, have at it!

If EPIK gets more than 1 application from an applicant through multiple recruiters it is easier for them to bin your application than figure out which recruiter should get paid for selling you to them or getting caught in the middle of the fight between 2 recruiters over payment for your soul.
