We looked at all of those reviews from 2023 to determine which teach abroad providers were offering teachers the best services
Go Overseas was founded by three teach abroad alumni: Mitch, Tucker, and Andrew. They realized that fellow teachers could gain a lot of insight by reading the reviews from former teachers, as they tried to find the perfect teaching job abroad.
Over the years, we have added hundreds of resources about teaching abroad to Go Overseas, from articles to travel guides to reviews from former teachers. We looked at all of those reviews from 2023 to determine which teach abroad providers were offering teachers the best services, and helping them find the right job for their skills, desires, and in the service of students.
We looked for those providers who were excellent at helping teachers succeed overseas; we also looked those teach abroad providers who scored highly in the five categories we ask teaching alumni to rate programs: Benefits, Support, Fun, Facilities, and Safety. Below you'll find the highest-scoring teach abroad providers from 2023.

Teaching abroad is a dynamic experience that means many things to different travelers. For some, it's their first professional opportunity and a massive chance for personal growth and career development. For other teachers, it's an opportunity to provide education to students and live abroad. Given how many different ways teachers evaluate teaching opportunities, it can be tricky to know exactly which teach abroad companies provide excellent service. Based on the scores these providers received on all the categories we ask teachers to rate while leaving a review, these are the top teach abroad providers from 2023:

We obviously think that teaching abroad should be a fun experience -- in fact, we ask every reviewer to tell us how much fun they had overseas, for almost every program they rate on our site. For teach abroad programs, we ask alumni to share what they rate the social scene while teaching abroad. This could involve interactions with fellow teachers and administrators, as well as extra experiences arranged by their teach abroad program. The following providers had the top scores in the Fun category:
