Teaching Nomad - Teaching Opportunities in China

I would be very happy to recommend this company, they came up as top 8 companies for teaching in China and it shows. They are incredibly helpful and always prompt in replying to emails. They found suitable positions that where very attractive, from the job opportunities for me that were a good match for my experience and qualifications. I was very grateful to Marissa for all her help and support; she made what can be a tricky process, easy and stress free. Also found Sean's help very useful when it came to choosing the appropriate TEFL course for what I aimed to do in China and potentially after.

My experience with teachingnomad was fantastic. Jayne was my consultant/recruiter. She was quick to respond, polite, prompt, and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to teach abroad as she is very supporting and responds quickly to any queries or messages you may have. Jayne guided me throughout the process of the online recruitment fair and has great energy and enthusiasm for her role. I felt that having a recruiter living in the country you are applying to very supportive.
Thank you Jayne for all of the support.

Teaching Nomad is a fantastic company. They are efficient and are very thorough when assisting you with securing a job position. Moira was my recruiter and she is amazing, she helped me with everything from making sure I had the right qualifications, to finding a great job for me. I was able to attend a virtual job fair with various schools in China, where I was able to set up an interview and get in contact with various schools. I was offered a position shortly after their virtual job fair. The process is simple when having guidance from your recruiter.

Teaching Nomad made a great effort in order to help me find an opportunity in China! Although the Coronavirus outbreak has affected my ability to visit China at this time, I am thankful that I got to work with Sylvia Spanos. She was very helpful! I would not have it any other way. Perhaps after the pandemic, I will be able to reapply for opportunities in Asia but for now, I will sit tight in the USA. If you are serious about going to Asia, Teaching Nomad is the place to work with. They will help you with every aspect of the job application process.

I had been working in a university in China for nearly three years when I decided it was time for a change. With two education degrees, I was hoping to get a job in an international school. I reached out to Teaching Nomad after hearing great things about the company from my colleagues.

I had a very positive experience with Teaching Nomad, Tiffany Xiao was my agent and she was an absolute star! She helped me to find a number of suitable positions and she provided frequent contact throughout the process. She also helped me to get information regarding a teaching license, which I am excited to start in the upcoming months!

I really cannot recommend Teaching Nomad enough! Because of this company and my wonderful agent I have an amazing job in an international school in Beijing. I cannot wait to start my international school teaching career there!

I'm not sure what value my review will serve as I did not complete the process because another opportunity manifested; however, if I persisted in my endeavor to teach abroad Teaching Nomad would have remained my program of choice for several and obvious reasons. For one: my placement consultant, Marissa, really guided me through this process and made it as seamless as possible. I was impressed by the amount of time she spent assisting me and finding jobs that she thought would be a good fit for me. She was also amazing with communication––always responding to my emails and answering literally any question I had. I should also add Teaching Nomad is so centralized that you could complete the process (with an exception of attaining your passport and background check) through them.

I have not started the role yet, so I cannot comment on the job itself in any way, however, I have had a positive experience with TN. Initially, I had interviewed with the CEO in Denver, and he seemed really down to Earth and decent. He seems like he would be a nice guy to work alongside. I was then passed to Marissa, another agent, and she was great too. The initial chat we had was clear and reasonable, and it did not seem as though she was a pushy recruiter, unlike many others I have dealt with. She seems keen on actually finding me a role that suited me, not just any role she wanted to 'get rid of' (I have had this SO much previously).

She stayed in touch throughout the process and made sure everything was running smoothly and wished me well at the end. I had found it hard to 'crack' into the international school market with a subject outside of English, but Marissa got me in the door! This could define the rest of my career!

The automated job matching was less on point, 'matching' job in my job alerts being located in completely different cities than I had asked for. This is more a system issue rather than an agent issue of course. I would ignore the job alerts and just go through the agent in future.

Ollie (Oliver Gorman) was an absolute star, total professional and a real gent from start to finish of the entire recruitment process. Our initial Skype covered every aspect possible, explaining the entire recruitment process as well as how best to go about all the necessary Notarizations, Legalizations, Authentications, of degrees, etc. for the first Z Visa.
Highly personable, does the job and follows it through, and with speed.
Very grateful to Ollie and all the guys at TeachingNomad.
Very best to you.
