AMAZED

From the moment I signed up, till I got an official offer I was taken care of. I was given so much guidance and support which I did not expect. My recruiting specialist understood my needs and didn't bombard me with applications but saw opportunities suited to my needs and within a short span of time I had interviews and offers lined up from which I Accepted one. Even after accepting the offer, my recruiter kept checking up on me and gave me pointers and tips on concerns I had to raise with the company I had accepted the offer from. I took her advice and it paid off majorly. Even as I sit now writing this review, I have a bunch of emails with documents and to read with what to expect from the journey that awaits me so I am truly prepared.I'm truly thankful and thrilled for the adventure that awaits.

Helped by Ms. Lauren Klein

Ms. Lauren Klein was my recruiter and I found her through Teaching Nomad and I must say she did such an AMAZING JOB helping me with everything!! From immediately returning all of my emails, to answering all of my questions, Lauren helped me from getting my applications in, to going over the steps of getting my documents authenticated and notarized. She and the rest of the teaching nomad staff have been so helpful to me in finding the perfect job and location. Without Ms. Lauren Klein and without teaching nomad, I would have not been able to find the right location to teach at. She's helped me find a company called "APAX English" which is located in Vietnam, where I can teach English. Without the help of Ms. Lauren, I wouldn't have any issues on finding legitimate companies, so I owe her!

Working with a Recruiter

I worked with a great recruiter named Nicholas. He helped me by taking the time to look for jobs that were best suited to what I was looking for. He spent over 30 minutes asking me questions that would help him figure out schools that I would be interested in. He also spent time answering all the questions I had. Teaching Nomad has a great website to apply for jobs. They also have a very sleek profile builder that makes it easy to apply to many jobs. Although I did not utilize Teaching Nomad to find my job, I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a job in China. Nicholas sent me great emails immediately after meeting with him via Skype. I would definitely utilize them in the future if I was looking for another position as they were very professional and attentive to my needs.

What would you improve about this program?
There is nothing I can think of to improve the services Teaching Nomad provides.

Teaching Nomad gets an A from this teacher!

I haven't actually traveled to China and taught English yet, but I'm super excited to see what opportunities this new adventure brings! Teaching Nomad was super helpful and there every step of way in answering all my questions and basically held my hand through this whole process. I'm glad they were there every step of way because moving from the US to China is not something to take lightly. I was in contact with a few other TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) recruitment agencies, but Teaching Nomad was the only one that worked with me for months and never left an email unanswered, like the recruitment agency, Edvectus, did. I would definitely recommend any Teaching Nomad program to people looking to do something as exciting as this!

Teaching Nomad-Off To China

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Teaching Nomad. From the outset, Sean Murtagh helped me with TEFL course details and other critical details in the process of teaching in China. My job placement consultant, Lauren Klein, was very patient, kind, and helpful throughout the placement process of finding a job in China as well (from job offers to interviews). Right up until my very flight date, Lauren was there to give me advice on my trip (through Skype). Packing and planning for a teaching abroad experience can be stressful (to say the least), but the people at Teaching Nomad were there every step of the way to point me in the right direction. If you do choose to work with Teaching Nomad in your future work abroad experience, just know that whatever questions or concerns you bring to the table, Teaching Nomad will be able to answer any and all of those questions for you to make your teaching abroad experience worth it!

What would you improve about this program?
Nothing comes to mind in terms of improvements to the TN experience.

A smooth transition

When my original company had decided to move the department from China to Switzerland this was a real concern. I couldn't get a visa to the new location, and what's worse, I wasn't going to have my current visa renewed. I suddenly found myself with a deadline to find a job before I would be forced to pack and leave a country i'd been in for nearly six years.

I had looked for job opportunites myself, but I had trouble finding jobs that matched my skill set and experience. A colleague had suggested Teaching Nomad and so I submitted my information. I was quickly contacted by Madison Walker who was an emloyee at Teaching Nomad. Madison had a friendly disposition and listened as I explained the situation to her. She assured me her services were free, and took thorough notes on what I wanted and within a few hours produced a list of jobs which were exactly what I was looking for.

Within weeks of working with Madison, I had interviewed with my new company and was offered a managerial role.
Madison's help didn't stop there. She was quick to offer her assistance, make herself available for questions, and inquire on my experience within the new company.

I'm very happy to write that through my interaction with Teaching Nomand, I was able to find a quality job in a relatively short time. Through my interaction with Madison, I believe the organization is professional, and genuienly interested in helping the people that contact them.
This was a service that could have easily asked a fee, but cost me nothing.

All in all,
great staff and great program!

Back in China Again

After a three year experience in Latin America thanks to the folks at Teaching Nomad I was able to secure a wonderful leadership opportunity in Beijing. My consultant Lauren Klein was super professional and her easy going, low pressure approach really helped me make an excellent career decision. I love working at Beanstalk International Bilingual School and the atmosphere is exactly as Lauren described it would be. That means there have been no surprises or unexpected obstacles.She answered my emails quickly and was willing to Skype with me anytime I had questions or concerns about a school or the process. This makes me feel confident in recommending Teaching Nomad to any educator looking for their next school. They might not be the biggest or most famous placement agency, but they certainly helped me reach my goals. Thank you Teaching Nomad!

What would you improve about this program?
The professionals at Teaching Nomad did an excellent job, my only suggestion would be to have more recruitment events outside of Shanghai. For instance it would be great if they could come to Beijing.

Placed at an International school in China

From day one we were supported by Lauren Klein at Teaching Nomad. She was the most proactive and genuine of all the recruiters we dealt with and we always felt she had put some thought into the positions she would offer us whereas we got the impression other recruiters were simply trying to get us a position to earn a commission. The profile and information provided of the school was accurate and we have been delighted with the way everything has gone in our first week with everything turning out as promised. I would highly recommend using Lauren as a recruiter to other teachers, she is prompt in her replies when you need her and she genuinely listens to what you require in order to find the best match for your qualifications and ambitions as a teacher.

What would you improve about this program?
I can't think of any improvements, we have been treated well.

Questions & Answers

At this time, many schools in China are hiring from overseas and feel confident they will be able to secure working visas for overseas hires. We would encourage you to begin getting your documents authenticated now so you are prepared for the visa application.

Hello Erik, most of the English teaching roles posted on our site require candidates from native English speaking countries. However we do have subject teacher positions for non-native speakers if they have experience teaching that subject. We also have TEFL course + job placement opportunities in many countries that don't require the candidates to be native speakers. You can learn more about...

Yes! A teaching degree is not required to teach abroad. In many cases experience and/or a TEFL certification is an adequate qualification. We place couples all the time!

In such a case we would recommend the individual to contact the authorities to report the assault. This would include local police as well as the consulate or Embassy of your country. Of course we would never work with a school or organization that allowed an assault to occur.
