Travel to Japan

My travel to Japan was so special mainly because I had to wait for 2 years to finally make the trip due to Covid restrictions. Tamaki TEFL kept in touch throughout the waiting process and would share information with regards to updates and necessary preparations for smooth travel.

When I got to Japan they would also check on me every now and then and that helped me settle in a foreign land with no family. I am currently in Sendai and enjoying exploring the city, culture and a very diverse cuisine! Octopus has become a favourite! 😃

Pros
  • Adventure
  • Exposure
  • Independence

ABSOLUTELY TOP QUALITY SERVICE!!!!

Totally loved working with Tomoko and her team. The level of professionalism and the amazing efficiency in communication really made working with TTR the absolute best! It was always my dream to visit Japan and to enjoy the beauty of the country whilst teaching and TTR made me realise that dream by the help they gave me!

Even though it was during covid and it was hard to be certain about many things, Tomoko was always on top of things and would let me know of any progress made and any changes needed, I didn't have to worry about not being informed at all! I really love the way Tomoko creates a personal experience, still checking up on me even till now in Japan and asking after my well being, making sure I'm settling in well.

I definitely recommend TTR to anyone thinking of teaching abroad. You'll get the best service from a team that has great knowledge of the business and a team that cares about you.

Thank you so much Tomoko and the TTR team for your help and support, I'm so thankful and grateful for your help! 😊

Tamaki TEFL Japan Review

From the moment I contacted Tomoko, she was alot of help and a great source of information especially concerning all the administrative work needed to move, live and work abroad in another country.

She answered any questions I had and always went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible in getting me to my destination, whether that was staying on top of the latest news from the MOFA, covid border restrictions, dealing with culture shock etc. For me, this was Japan and it was also my first time going there so I was beyond pleased and felt very secure by the time I landed in Japan.

I can't thank her enough and even now, she still checks in from time to time :)
I'd definitely recommend Tamaki TEFL to anyone looking to start a new adventure.

Pros
  • Prompt replies
  • Attention to detail
  • Professionalism at it's best

Amazing work from TTR!

TTR was always supportive, responsive and helpful towards all my needs/enquiries. Especially as much of the recruitment process was carried out during the pandemic. After COVID had cancelled the inital start date in 2020, it felt like a dream was over, but thanks to TTR not only was the dream kept alive but I was also placed in my ideal location in Japan.! The support didn't dissapear after I had arrived in Japan either, TTR has been there every step of this journey, ensuring I had the best experience possible.

Pros
  • Great level of personal communication
  • Availability
  • Attention to detail

TTR

Tamaki TEFL recruitment went above and beyond to provide as streamline of a hiring process as was possible during pandemic conditions. The position was clearly explained prior to signing on, visa processes were broken down in easy steps, and a pre-departure guide was given to me explaining everything I needed before and during my transition.

Above all, Tomoko's priority was to keep me updated every step of the way. I would recommend Tamaki TEFL recruitment to anyone considering teaching abroad!

Pros
  • Extensive staff support
  • Up-front and professional
  • Personable quality to the hiring process

Top-notch Tomoko

Where can I begin?
When I think of Tomoko and TTR recruitment, I immediately think of support. I was supported throughout my entire journey, and it was a long one!😅😄. TTR prepares you fully for what is to come and what to expect. Without this guidance I think I would have been very lost.
For me what was truly amazing was Tomoko's constant support and patience throughout the "waiting period" during Covid-19. I was constantly checked in on and supported by TTR via Skype and email, and I truly could not have gone through that time without her. TTR updated me constantly about Japans borders and Cicid-19 situations and so I was never in the dark and remained so positive. And even now, she has helped me still and kept in communication with how I am doing and adjusting in Japan. She has supported me more than one could understand. Being in a totally foreign world definitely allows room for some tough days, but with Tomoko by my side and with her reassurance, I was able to conquer my fears and now I am really enjoying the job and appreciating this beautiful and amazing country. I feel like I have gained an amazing mentor in life. She is someone I would love to meet one day and give a big hug and say THANK YOU!
This experience just would not have been the same without her devotion, patience,experience, love and kindness.

Pros
  • I was fully prepared with documents and websites so my travel to Japan was as smooth as possible.
  • I got genuine answers and thoughts and guidance on how living in Japan could be.
  • Everything was organised. I never felt like I was behind on anything, and that is because TTR puts in so much time and thought into helping us and making our lives easier and more peaceful.
Cons
  • I simply don't have any cons with working with TTR. That is an honest truth. I was prepared for what was to come as much as could be. What more could someone ask for. I will be eternally grateful for this opportunity given.

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment Review

As a first time female solo traveler, Tomoko has been absolutely amazing in guiding me through the entire process. She is helpful, efficient and has a kind and warm energy to her - that made what could've been an extremely stressful and scary situation, bearable and comfortable to transition into. Due to covid restrictions, a lot of the planning was up in the air - Tomoko made sure to constantly update and check in with me. She was always there to answers any and all questions as soon as she could. She also checked up on me after I arrived in Japan. I really has no negative criticisms about Tamaki TEFL Recruitment company! They were great and I definitely recommend if you're looking to start a new life abroad with people who will help with every step of the transition.

Pros
  • Efficient communication.
  • Helpful guidance before, during and after travel.
  • Professional yet kind and warm staff.

Making Dreams Come True

TTR has been a fantastic recruitment company. Tomoko expertly guided me through every step of the application and moving processes. With her help, I was well prepared for my new start and had everything I needed well before my move. Moving around the world is no easy feat but Tomoko was very thorough with each step. She also has kept in touch with me since I moved, making me feel more at home. I'm very thankful for TTR and their continued support. I don't think my transition would have been as smooth with any other company!

TTR is the best foundation for a new start teaching abroad

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!

Pros
  • High level of professionalism
  • Lots of support
  • Friendly staff
Cons
  • Long wait time due to COVID restrictions
  • Uncertainty due to COVID restrictions
  • Apartment placement not the best
