Thank you Tamaki Tefl Recruitment for helping me achieve my dream,I'm ever so grateful for everything and the constant communication and check up after landing a Job in Japan .

Tomoko has been working in the TEFL community for over a decade, and her depth of knowledge and attention to detail in the process of matching applicants and programs, preparing you for the move, and supportive check-ins during the entire process (post-immigration too!) is unmatched and invaluable for someone looking to land a TEFL position.

Something I really appreciated about Tomoko's process is her honesty, even with aspects of the job or culture that are uncomfortable. The program she matched me with has a very intense training program and steep learning curve for the first month or so, and Tomoko made sure to highlight that and help me prepare mentally and emotionally for that initial obstacle. She is also kind and generally just a delight to work with.

TTR was very helpful in my journey to teaching overseas. Tomoko is very hands on and she pays attention to detail. She motivates by giving constructive criticism and she displays a level of customer service I had never experienced before. TTR made my journey easy, she was helpful throughout every step from the interviews to the very day I landed in Japan. She is hands on, professional as well as organized. She also keeps checking on me to see how I’m doing and I’m very grateful to have applied through TTR.

Tomoko was absolutely incredible and an invaluable asset in helping me achieve my dream of teaching overseas. She was with me for the entire process and was diligent, kind, and reassuring about the whole time.

She assisted my with everything from communicating with my company to visa applications and processes, and I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I did without her. She even helped me when I got nervous or anxious.

Honestly I cannot recommend Tomoko enough. If you are considering working with her, do yourself a favor and do it. She's the best at what she does, and I couldn't imagine going through any of this without her help.

Tomoko was fantastic in helping me achieve my dream of getting hired teaching English abroad. She was attentive, kind, and incredibly diligent in assisting me with every step of the process.

From the actual hiring with my company to the visa application and processes, she was an invaluable asset and I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without her. She was truly fantastic, and even helped give me peace of mind when I started to get anxious or nervous.

I seriously cannot recommend Tomoko enough. If you have the opportunity to work with her, please do yourself a favor and do it. You won't regret it!

Couldn't recommend Tomoko with Tamaki TEFL Recruitment enough with how she helped me get through the process of getting a VISA for Japan, preparing for the demo and many other things needed when moving to a new job / new country. I never felt like I was in the dark about anything, whenever I had a question it was answered in quick fashion.

I have since moved to Japan and started the new job and its been pretty much a dream come true. Met loads of lovely people and the job is better than I could have asked for so far!

I highly recommend TTR for anyone looking to teach English abroad.
I cannnot find words that can do enough justice to describe how helpful TTR was in my securing of a job and relocating to Japan. The whole process (interviews and documentation) was seamless because Tomoko assisted me with every step and assured me that everything would go smoothly, which it did. Her support, patience and encouragement are so out of this world!
Even after relocating, she still checks up on me to find out how life and work is going. Talking to Tomoko for the first time felt like I had known her for a long time so anyone can only but have a picture of how great it must be working with her.
Anyone would NEVER go wrong with TTR.

The recruitment was quick and easy. I also received constant support from the beginning through emails and Skype calls and by the time I left my home country all my worries were addressed and I continued to receive more support after moving to Japan.
The recruiter worked deligently to complete all my paper-work and provided me with lots of information on apps to learn Japanese from, where to get a SIM card, where to buy clothes, local Japanese places to visit. She was always available whenever I needed her help.

I applied for a teaching position in Japan through TTR. Tomoko answered all my questions and guided me through all the paperwork and visas making the process super easy. She went above and beyond in providing support leading up to the job and followed up when I arrived in Japan. TTR operates at a high level of professionalism and there were no surprises when I landed in Japan. All my questions were answered quickly and all logistics were carefully explained to me before I left. I couldn’t imagine doing this process with anyone else.

Tomoko really listened to my placement preferences in Japan and made sure I would be placed in an area that I loved. I asked to be in the Kansai region with hiking opportunities in the area and both of those preferences were met!

Whether you are right out of university like me or you are looking for a career change, I recommend TTR as they are attentive and it really feels like they care about your well being. Thank you so much TTR for getting me a job I love! :)
