Our story

Started with one Korean classroom. Now we send students to Korea every month.

In September 2019, Arun Basnet rented a small space at Devkota Chowk, hung a hand-painted sign, and started teaching Korean to eleven students. Six of them passed EPS-TOPIK on first attempt; two were in Korea within a year. Word spread the way good word does — slowly, then quickly.

Our principles

The lines we won't cross.

The consultancy industry in Nepal has a reputation problem. We don't claim to fix the industry. We just refuse to be part of the problem.

  • Honest counseling

    We turn down cases we don't believe in. If your profile won't pass EPS-TOPIK or hit the GKS bar, we'll tell you so — and propose a realistic path.

  • Published, fixed fees

    Every fee is on our website. No hidden charges. No “processing fees” that appear at the visa stage.

  • Long-term relationships

    We're still in touch with students from our first 2019 Korean batch. Many of them refer their younger siblings.

  • Outcome-driven

    We measure ourselves on TOPIK pass rates, EPS callbacks, and visa stamps — not enrollments or testimonials.

Founder

Arun Basnet

Founder & Lead Korean Instructor

Educator, language enthusiast, and lifelong student of language pedagogy. Arun started Bricks because the consultancies he encountered as a young Nepali student treated families like inventory. He wanted something different — and something specifically anchored in Korean, the language of opportunity for so many Nepali families.

Today, he splits his time between teaching the advanced TOPIK speaking sessions, mentoring counselors, and personally reading every student's GKS Statement of Purpose before submission.
