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

Perfect

I had the pleasure of Dan from Teaching English Global assisting me from start to finish and I can confidently say that he exceeded my expectations in every way. From the initial consultation to securing my agency in China, the process was seamless and stress-free.

Dan is knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly supportive. He guided me through every step of the process, from understanding the job market in China to preparing my application materials. He even assisted with the often daunting visa process, ensuring that I had all the necessary documentation and understood each requirement.

What really stood out to me was his personalised approach. They took the time to understand my career goals and preferences, matching me with schools that aligned with my teaching philosophy and desired location.

Overall, Teaching English Global is an outstanding company for anyone looking to teach English in China. Dan made what could have been a complicated and overwhelming process straightforward and manageable. I highly recommend him to anyone considering taking the leap to teach abroad.

Positive experience

I first came across Teach English Global, on the featured section of TEFL.org, at the beginning of 2024 when I looked at prospects of teaching abroad.

After reading the reviews, I got in contact with Dan.

Over the last four months, Dan has been patient, professional, knowledgeable, responsive, empathetic, but most importantly, a genuine, likeable individual in our conversations and bid to find me employment in China.

Dan is more than just a recruiter; he liaises with the different schools and agencies in China - acting as the representative to ensure things get handled smoothly.

I found Dan’s knowledge of China, and first-hand experience of teaching in Shanghai, helpful - as he understands what’s it like moving abroad and works with you at a gentle pace.

I would thoroughly recommend Dan as a liaison with finding employment in China, and know that he would be a good asset to any team or employer in the future. I wish him, and his clients, all the best in their future endeavours.

Feeling confident about my move to China!

From the beginning, Dan from Teach English Global was so personable and helpful whilst helping me figure out what I wanted to get out of my China experience. All of the preparation leading up to my move (in one week!) has been smooth and has helped me feel nothing but positive about this next phase in my life. Finally, although I haven't started the job yet, my communications with my school's team and how I'm hoping my experience with them will go (based on first impressions) showcases the high standards Teach English Global has regarding which schools they associate with and send their teachers to.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
At one point I wasn't sure if I could find a school with Teach English Global (due to over-applying to other organisations too early and narrowing my own number of opportunities). However, in the end, Dan was patient enough to continue looking for me and was able to find a contract that didn't compromise on any of the things I wanted to gain out of this experience.
Pros
  • The sheer number of communications I had with Dan (the CEO himself).
  • How smooth the process has been for me.
  • Contract negotiation possibilities.
Cons
  • None.

Teaching in China

Dan has been exceptionally helpful from the get go. He was very organised and explained every aspect of what to expect before moving to China and the processes within China. He kept in regular touch which I appreciated and would give me a break down of everything I needed to do or what would be happening. He provided so many useful tips about moving to China which I’m very thankful for. I would highly recommend Dan if you’re considering teaching abroad, he made the process so much easier and stress free. Even after moving to China he has kept in touch and has been checking how everything is going.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Dan is incredibly helpful so if you’re ever unsure on anything just ask, he is always wanting to help.
Pros
  • Communication
  • Helpfulness
  • Time management

Finding teacher placement

Hi highly recommend this program, Dan was extremely helpful and helped me solve what seemed like an unsolvable problem. I wanted to start moving away from ESL teaching and find a subject-teaching position that was related to my History major. This was so I could enroll in an iQTS program and obtain my UK teaching license while teaching abroad, however, I came across one major obstacle. All the schools that qualified to teach while I did this program were international/bilingual schools that wanted experienced subject teachers already. I had no idea how to solve this problem so asking all around for some guidance on this. Dan was great, he managed to put me in contact with the correct people and I now have a good-paying History teaching job in the exact region I was looking for.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Great Job Search Assistance!

Teach English Global did a fantastic job helping me find a job. They were very persistent and offered excellent tips to perform well in the interview. Additionally, they provided valuable cultural guidance, which was incredibly helpful in understanding how to behave during interviews. They consistently advocated on my behalf to secure a teaching contract. I highly recommend Teach English Global to anyone looking to teach English abroad, as their support and dedication made the entire process smooth and successful.

Huge shoutout to Dan too!

First teaching job in Beijing

As a first time teacher with no experience, Dan was really helpful in offering genuine advice about the best way and places to start my teaching career abroad. He was able to match me with an employer only a few days after getting in touch with Go Overseas and was super helpful in guiding me along the interview stages. I ver much felt as though Dan was in my corner when talking and negotiating with employers which made communication easier. The first few weeks have been so smooth and Dan was also able to put me in touch with some other teachers from the UK that he’d sent to the same company. I can’t imagine things working out as well if I were navigating the world of teaching abroad for the first time on my own.
