Program Reviews

Travel grad have been great at guiding me through the whole process of moving to Thailand. They created loads of helpful documents and kept me updated with everything along the way. Whilst I have been in Thailand they have constantly checked in and made sure I am doing well and everything is ok. I am loving life in Thailand so far and enjoying my province. They have also put me into contact with a number of other teachers working in Thailand who I have made great friends with and will be friends with for life.

I went to teach in China in August 2019, I began this experience with 2 friends, we left everything we knew behind in the UK to go teach English in China. It was an amazing adventure, we had support from the moment we signed up. Andrew was always on hand to help us through any questions or ease us through the nerves. Once we got out there, the nerves went away and we had an incredible time. We met wonderful people also leaving the UK to teach in China, incredible locals who were friendly and inclusive, the school supported the whole application process and encouraged 2 way learning (us learning and the kids learning). We’ve come out of the experience with life long friends, a huge sense of pride from completing the year and a huge appreciation for China. We also got to do a lot of travelling around South East Asia and China too which was really fun! Such a great experience overall and TravelGrad is a fantastic company to pursue this opportunity with!

TravelGrad have been super efficient and helpful from the moment I signed on and now in Thailand. When I had some issues at the start of my time in Thailand, TravelGrad were super speedy in replying to my concerns and also got in contact with everyone that needed to be contacted. This helped resolve my issues quickly and I was then able to go on and starting enjoying Thailand - which I have been! Thailand is an incredible place, and I’m grateful for the help of TravelGrad ! I would recommend!!!!

TravelGrad were great at providing support prior to my departure to Thailand. They allowed great flexibility for my intake due to the impacts covid had on my original departure. At the time, I was signed up to travel to China which ended up not being an option later. TravelGrad helped me effortlessly switch to their Thailand opportunity and I have been out here for two incredible months now. If you want to travel to another country with no worries, the TravelGrad team are a great option and I would definitely recommend them.

Travel grad have been very helpful with accommodating to my needs and guiding me through the whole process of moving to Thailand. They have also put me into contact with loads of other teachers some of which I have made great friends with. I am really loving where I have been placed and who I have been placed with and have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Thailand so far. Travel grad have made sure to check in with me throughout my 2 months in Thailand and have made clear that they are always there to help me whenever I need.

I moved to Shanghai in 2019, using “the China teaching experience” which was formally, and is now a service offered by ‘TravelGrad’.

Andrew who heads the company was super helpful in getting us to China. He helps with the documentation, flights, job placement etc but more importantly, he introduces you to people who are doing the exact same thing you are doing!

Without the support system of Andrew and my fellow travelers at the time, I would never have made it to now my 4th in Shanghai!

I went to China through TravelGrad’s China Teaching Experience option and haven’t looked back since! Sometimes trying to get visas sorted can be daunting. But, TravelGrad were the biggest support with getting a TEFL sorted as well as getting all the visa documents sorted too! So friendly and helpful. I’ve been in China for 3 years, but still TravelGrad is always happy to help me with any questions and queries I may have. The support before and after you go is just amazing! Would recommend to everyone.

I had a fantastic year, met lots of cool people, learned a lot about myself and was able to experience China.

China was awesome, definitely don't let any preconceptions hold you back, everyone was friendly and helpful. Fortunately I had lots of holidays so had plenty opportunity to travel within China. And save a little cash to travel afterwards.

Andrew did a great job organising everything before we arrived. This made the transition really easy! All we had to do was teach and enjoy our time off. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about travelling after graduation.

I’ve been in Thailand for 2 months and honestly had some of the best times of my life! I’ve met friends for life that I feel I have known forever. The teaching is also very fun, my school is considered a bit more strict and I teach the intensive English program but my school are happy to leave me to it and I can have fun and interactive lessons with the students . I’m also living in quite a large city which is what I asked for and with lots of other foreign teachers so my preferences were taken into consideration.

It was great overall would definitely go again. I recommended a friend who is currently over there now so that is great.

I taught in chonburi which was a great social area not far from Bangkok it was perfect for travelling to the larger cities on a weekend when not teaching

The teaching itself was great I was in an all girls school and the children I taught were very engaging.

The process itself was quick and efficient which was great, I applied and left the UK within 2 months. All of the visa process etc was explained fully
