Great experience with Dan from Teach English Global

I have been working with Dan from Teach English Global as I relocate to China to teach English. Dan has been extremely helpful throughout the entire job and visa process! He has consistently checked up on me and made sure things are running smoothly. He has answered each and every question of mine as well. Thanks to him the process has been smooth from start to finish. I can confidently say that I am ready to begin my journey abroad. I highly recommend working with Dan if you plan on teaching in China!

Dan Teach English Global

Dan has been amazing throughout the whole process. He is super friendly and has always been organised and professional during our phone calls. Dan has supported me every step of the way from preparing me for interviews, to helping me navigate the visa process and beyond. He’s also helped with life admin things such as giving advice on VPN’s, how to open a bank account and how to set up my phone to work in China. His support has made the whole journey less daunting and scary! Thank you Dan!!!!!!!!

Dan Teach English Global

Dan was so helpful through every step of the way. From the visa process to the flight he helped me prepare the necessary documents alongside another teaching agency that he helped me find. This all lead to me finding my dream job in China teaching English. He was really nice on every phone call and always on time to every meeting. I felt a lot more comfortable using a recruiter who knew the ropes of China with all the experience he had. It all helped me to feel confident with the future of teaching in China. Thank you Dan!

Exceeded all my expectations

My expectations were pretty high coming here and it has exceeded all of them. The support that I have received from the staff has been incredible. I’ve made friends already and everyone is super nice. It is truly amazing here and I’m so thankful to Teach English Global for getting this journey started, it has always been my dream and I’m very happy it’s finally come true. I love this country and can’t wait to pursue my future career here! There’s no cons that I can really think of and I would encourage anyone to make this move.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice would be to be patient with this process, coming here was a massive culture shock but once you get past those barriers you’ll find it so much easier to thrive here.
Pros
  • The food
  • The inexpensiveness of everything
  • The social scene
Cons
  • Forgetting my umbrella
  • Overpacking (the shopping here is amazing)
  • Being homesick sometimes

Would recommend TEG

If you’re thinking of heading out to China to teach English, I couldn’t recommend teach English global enough. Dan is a friendly guy and has been very helpful in finding me an agency to work for in Shenzhen, and has been constantly touching base ensuring that I’m okay and knowing what’s going on. Having just arrived in China, i’m entering the country confident and excited, which might not have been the case had I not had that extra support and knowledge that Dan has of working in China. Thanks again!

My experience

I had a very good experience working with Dan at Teach English Global. Initially, I had a skype call where we introduced ourselves. He made a good effort to get to know me and my needs for the job search. I had many questions, and he was willing to answer all of them. I was matched with my current employer quickly after our first call. Overall, Dan was attentive and available to help guide me each step of the way. Whenever I had a question he was always available with an informed answer. I recommend this company for anyone looking to teach in China.

Fantastic service, Highly recommended

I contacted Teach English Global when I was looking for teaching jobs in China and it was the best decision I could have made.

Dan was extremely friendly and helpful and guided me through the whole process: from finding a suitable job and coaching through different interviews, to the documentation required for the visa, up until the moment I booked my flight.

I had attempted this process before covid and alone and it was a much more stressful experience. But this time, with the guidance from Teach English Global it was significantly smoother.

Do not hesitate to contact them if you are interested in working in China.

Pros
  • Extremely friendly staff
  • Fast and responsive answers
  • Superb treatment

My experience with TEG

When I decided that I wanted to teach English abroad, Dan from Teach English Global was the perfect person to speak to. After I told him about my level of experience and what I was looking for he was quickly able to identify the right sort of teaching positions for me in the cities I had expressed an interest in. He provided excellent guidance and support both before, during and after my move to China. His advice was indispensable and he always made himself available to provide help when I needed it. As a result, I secured a teaching job that I love in a vibrant Chinese city. I am extremely grateful for his support and would recommend his service to anyone who is considering teaching English as a second language abroad.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My biggest fear in life is of blood tests. In order to overcome the experience of having a blood test as part of my health check before obtaining a residency permit I made sure to focus on my breathing and asking the member of the agency who was accompanying me to keep me distracted with conversation to take my mind off the test.
Pros
  • Experience a fantastic culture
  • Meet new people you would not otherwise meet
  • Travel to lots of new places
Cons
  • Inevitable culture shocks when moving to a new country on the other side of the world
  • Language barrier

A great source of support

I have already recommended Teach English Global to someone in real life, and would do so again. Dan offered a lot of support all through the process: from finding jobs that were right for me, to giving me advice as I prepared to move. I liked that he frequently checked in to see how things were going, and gave tips before every interview or step in the application process. He was very friendly and made me feel like he cared about my success. At one point he was away from home, but still found time to check in. Moving across the globe can seem daunting, and I am sure a lot of people will benefit from this support.

Great experience

I have just begun my journey but it has been brilliant so far! Firstly I was well facilitated by my recruiter Dan who organised my initial interview with the agency in China and who went through all the expectations and kept in touch with me throughout the process to make sure I was clear on the next steps. He was very supportive and brilliant throughout the entire process. SIE, the organisation I work for in China support you with setting everything up when you arrive, navigating some of the complexity with the bureaucracy and also giving you lots of helpful tips about apps and how to live here. They also do teacher training, so you feel prepared to go into a school environment and help prep you for interviews with the school. I like the city I am working in and can’t wait for the adventure to continue when I start at my school.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
You will have the most fun, just try and go with the flow a little and everything will slot into place.
Pros
  • Support before departure
  • Hotel and support with set up costs in China
  • School interviews organised for you
Cons
  • Can’t always have up front information
  • Challenging climate to get a job without teaching experience
  • Slightly higher pressure than teaching in other places
