Program Reviews

I moved to Thailand in October 2025 with Impact Teaching and I am so glad I did! I went through hundreds of programs trying to narrow down a program that would make me feel comfortable making such a big move, and Impact Teaching was the perfect program for that. Arnold was and still is extremely helpful, with all my questions about the visa process, interviewing tips, housing. Literally, I can reach out about anything and will get support from the Impact community. They never let go of your hand. I've learned so much, grown so much would definitely recommend Impact Teaching to anyone who has been hesitating about taking the first step.

It’s been a dream of mine to live in China, and I truly believe it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Impact Teaching. Moving to China can feel overwhelming, but Arnold made the process so much easier. He was honest and supportive, taking my preferences into account, coordinating with a recruiter in China, guiding me through the visa application process, and connecting me with other teachers who would be in the same city. If you’re thinking about teaching English in China, I definitely recommend Impact Teaching!

I moved to Wrocław, Poland a few months ago to teach English and it has been an incredible experience thus far. I would recommend this city to everybody, it is wonderful. This opportunity wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for ‘Impact Teaching’. Arnold is brilliant and very hands-on, he is very personable and cares so much about making sure you have the best possible experience. This is exactly what I had hoped for and more in moving and working in another country. If you are interested in teaching abroad, I couldn’t recommend ‘Impact-Teaching’ enough.

The school and program I’m working with is fantastic! It not only meets my living and teaching requirements, but also accommodates any unexpected personal needs. It gives me challenges and rest when I need to. The staff and students are very caring and supportive. Impact Teaching program gave me a great guide to prepare me for moving. Being a first time traveling teacher can be stressful so I wish there was more support and understanding from the program. However, with their help and the help of a sister agency I was able to find an amazing school. All we need is more blogs and videos to help guide new people and we are good. Overall, a great first experience. Good luck to new travelers.

First class experience all supported and organised through impact teaching which before was teach English in china. Arnold and the guys made everything simple and there was always support and someone there to help when needed. Process was very smooth and service was excellent. Very well organised and did not feel like you were moving so far away from home.

Would highly recommend Arnold very personable and willing to help. Has kept in touch nearly 10 years later and has helped me with a few career things along the way.

Firstly Arnold at Impact Teaching was incredibly helpful and supportive during the entire process, and was always there when I needed him. Living here is a great experience which I am glad I did, and I believe it is incredibly valuable and will hopefully open the door to more opportunities potentially in Shanghai, Hong Kong or other well connected places. It is very important to get stuck in to some extra curricular activities to get a better chance of meeting new people which I have done with football.

I never taught before so I was a little bit worried when starting this program but the agency had many lessons plans available to draw inspiration from and the school was very helpful and patient. It was a school on the countryside so the English level was very low and many students weren't interesting in learning English. I told the school my concerns and they suggested playing esl games instead of just teaching. In hindsight I'm not sure if all the students were able to improve their English but the students who worked hard came to me on their own volition to ask questions and advice with projects and competitions. I was able to really have fun with the students and bond with them and I miss them very much, even outside of the classroom and played beachvolleyball with a group of students regularly. There weren't many restaurants or bars in my village so I had to drive to the next city (30 min) but I was able to enjoy the slow life and travel frequently all over Thailand and it is truly a breathtakingly beautiful country. It was an unforgettable experience and I'm really proud and happy that I did this.

My experience in China has been wonderful thanks to the teaching program. They truly make life easy from the visa process and the useful tips they provide to get through life in a new country. Any questions you may have will be answered so that you feel comfortable and ready when you reach your country of choice. It is my first time in China and I am so grateful to have a team behind me that makes my life easier. All I have to focus on is preparing my lessons and getting to school on time. I am grateful for the opportunity.

I went to Thailand with the same agency the year before and I really enjoyed it so I decided to sign up for another year and went to China this time. I had an absolutely amazing time, and Shenzhen is a beautiful city. I speak Chinese a bit so I was able to make friends quickly and bond with the students. There were a few bumps in the road but Arnold was super helpful and supportive so I definitely recommend them. I'm no longer teaching with them because I found a new job in China and will stay here long term.

After paying for the program, I believe that the director will suddenly become too busy for you. I paid for the program for over a year now and I haven’t gotten anything from them. We have a groupchat filled with people he scammed and refused to refund. Some even threatening to lawyer up to get their money back. The director said the problem is with Polish immigration but keeps taking money from people and adding them to the group chat! He’s not only greedy but callous!
