Program Reviews

I had the best experience with TTR. Tomoko is attentive, patient and always willing to make herself available to field any questions or concerns that I had.

Tomoko’s attention to detail and organisational skills are unimpeachable. TTR has the highest level of professionalism and met my expectations.

Tomoko has a warm, friendly disposition which made it easy to interact with her during the long application process. Tomoko always projected a sincere concern in making sure that I felt supported throughout the process. Even once I arrived in Japan, Tomoko routinely checked in with me which I found very comforting.

If you are looking for assistance in making your teaching abroad dream materialise seamlessly, TTR should be your first choice!

Tomoko Tamaki is hands down the number one recruiter in the industry. She is extremely kind and helpful, and thanks to her I can work in a stunning environment with fantastic colleagues.

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment goes beyond when it comes to helping you organize your paperwork and always responded quickly to questions and provided any assistance needed. Even with the constant changing policies due to Covid, she kept up to date and readily contacted me and kept the process going smoothly.

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment are not only good at the analytically aspect of the job, but Tomoko genuinely cares about the people she is working with. She is constantly checking up on me since my arriving into Japan, and I know if I ever need help, she’s just a message away. I am so grateful to have gone through Tamaki TEFL Recruitment, I couldn’t have asked for a better start in my teaching career.

Thank you, Tamaki TEFL Recruitment you’re simply the best!!!

Tomoko was my first point of contact when I started trying to get into Japan to teach back in 2020 and two years later when Japan opened the borders in 2022 she was the first person who contacted me when I landed.
It has so far been an amazing expirience, I love my location in central Japan (What I requested) and I love my schools and students.
I've only been here for 3 months and it's already been an amazing expirience which can only get better.

Thank you Tomoko for making this possible :)

Starting my journey to living in Japan was scary. I experienced a few bumps in the road with other recruiters, until I stumbled upon Tamaki TEFL Recruitment. Tamaki TEFL Recruitment is always helpful and attentive to my needs. They took the time to be concerned about my well being and care about my needs. They are very professional, and are always transparent with any and all questions I have. Everything was clearly explained to me regarding living in Japan, which helped me tremendously when I arrived. Since being in Japan, Tamaki TEFL Recruitment still makes an effort contact me and to continue checking on my well being and seeing if there is anything they can help me with. The fact that Tamaki TEFL Recruitment shows a genuine concern and care for me is truly appreciated. I will forever be grateful to Tamaki TEFL Recruitment. I would recommend Tamaki TEFL Recruitment to family, friend or stranger alike. Knowing what I know about Tamaki TEFL Recruitment, I know they would be in good hands.

Tomoko helped me tremendously during the application process. Thanks to her it was not as stressful as it could have been. She was professional and supportive, and she checked in with me regularly once I'd arrived in Japan to see how I was settling in. Moving to a different country can be daunting. I'm glad I had the excellent support of TTR to help ease the transition.

Teaching in Japan has been fun and challenging. Given the choice, I would definitely do it again and I would choose to go with TTR.

Being part of TTR, everyone knows that Tomoki is professional, kind, easy to approach and builds rapport with the applicants. TTR showed such a level of expertise that I was able to trust this recruiting agency for my process to teach in Japan.
TTR were well versed on the company's requirements and conducted interviews accordingly. I didn't feel intimidated and the process of getting things done, was done effortlessly. I loved the consistency in check ups and the desire that TTR wanted to see you succeed and transition to your dream job or place of work.

Tomoko was incredibly professional, helpful and kind from the get go. She and her team helped me with every stage from first inquiry to arriving with my company, and even after that, checked in regularly to see how I was getting on. She guided me through every step of the process, and was really helpful in letting me know exactly what I had to do.

I only gave very general outlines as to where I wanted to be placed, but I could not be happier with where I got put. The area I was in was exactly what I wanted even before I knew what I wanted. The work life balance was very generously on the side of life and I managed to really get under the skin of the local culture.

I cannot recommend TTR enough. They made the whole process very easy and I felt supported all the way through. As well as the outstanding level of professionalism (I honestly wondered several times how someone could keep track of every single detail like that), I felt that there was a level of personal care that I've only rarely seen with other places.

Thanks a million to Tomoko and her team, I'm massively grateful for their guidance in this amazing experience!

Working with Tomoko was the absolute best. From start to finish of the recruitment process she was professional, thoughtful and very patient. TTR helped with just about everything, from applying for the visa to my departure to Japan, nothing was left undone. TTR was able to answer all questions and provide useful tips all while getting me excited to start my new journey.

I have been in Japan for 8 months now and I absolutely love it! TTR still ensures that I am doing okay and has continued to offer help with anything - this is really comforting as being abroad in a foreign country it is nice to know that you are being looked out for. Thank you TTR!

I would definitely recommend working with TTR if you are searching for a seamless transition into a new life abroad!

I highly recommend TTR to anyone looking to teach abroad. I worked with TTR and I had an amazing experience. Tomoko is a detail-oriented, very kind and flexible person. She will be with you all the step of the way, explaining all there is to know.

Tomoko is very professional. My move to Japan was stress free, because I had everything laid and planned way before I landed in Japan. She was truly concerned about my well being even after my placement in Japan. I call her my guardian angel. Thank you TTR

Currently, I have been in Aomori, Japan for almost a year and I am happy that I chose Tamaki TEFL Recruitment. Throughout the process, from first contact to my arrival and even after, my recruiter, Tomoko, has guided me and made constant contact to check on me. She is a respectful, sincere and very pleasant professional and I am truly grateful.
The information provided was completely honest and prepared me for my job as well as the environment in which I currently live. Prior to applying to my job and being contacted by TTR, I was cautions and concerned about the legitimacy of the job but all of these fears were squashed and I was able to also put my family at ease due to the information provided both online by the company and my recruiter and the diligence and professionalism of TTR. All processes and documentation for my employment and travel were done speedily and professionally. I was given helpful tips and any questions, no matter how mundane they felt to me were answered with kindness. I was given excellent feedback on how to improve my teaching, tips on the resources that I would need and how to acquire these resources. Even my location of employment was handled well, they do their absolute best to ensure your comfort by finding locations that fit your preference. Moving to a new country so far away and different from home can be diffcult but the preparation and assistance provided by Tomoko made it a much smoother transition . I have always been a scrutinizing person and I proud to say that I am 100% happy that I chose TTR and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend and have already recommended others to TTR. I know that anyone that uses this company will be given the best experience possible. Thank you for guiding me!
