Impact Teaching Reviews

Impact teaching was very helpful and supportive with the full process from the start. When I joined them, They gave me a wide range of schools that would best suit my preferences in education. As well as this, they provide a training event that allowed me to meet other people in the same position as I was and allowed us to build a network as well as to give us some training and advise that will help us out. Even after starting at my school, they kept in touch with me to see how I was doing as well as informing me of any future positions that might be suitable for me.

Arnold is a great guy and this program was amazing. China is an amazing country but it takes a while to adapt and settle - Arnold was always checking in and finding different things for us to do in the city. He helped set me up with a few football groups, and this was key to helping me meet others. He also provided lots of very helpful teaching materials so that we could prepare before leaving the UK. My time in China was one of the best periods of my life and I can’t recommend this program enough!

It was an amazing experience to head to China, the support from Arnold in the first place was great. Constant check ups and all.

My highlight would be ending up on Shenzhen news! Something I couldn’t believe happen. But it was great to have recognition of all my hard work I put into the year.

I really tried my best to enjoy everyday, I made sure that I went out to eat everyday almost because the cost of living is so low you are able too!

Life was good, the bike riding, exploring different cities and overall lifestyle.

This was the one job where I was sad that it was a Friday and happy that it was a Monday!

My time teaching in Budapest through Impact Teaching was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life. I was so grateful to have such a supportive team by my side, helping me every step of the way and giving me the opportunity to take such a big leap outside of my comfort zone. I met amazing people, ate incredible food, and learned so much about the world and, most importantly, about myself. Budapest will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’m so thankful for the memories I made there!

For many years I had been interested in living and working in China, but living in the UK the process seemed so overwhelming and I had no idea where to even start looking for jobs. Then I discovered Impact Teaching. The support from Impact Teaching has genuinely been amazing. Arnold always had my best interests in finding me a school placement, offering alternative school options when my original plans weren't working out. The meet ups that he holds in London and the orientation are also really useful and great to meet people who are also coming to China, I even got to meet someone who would be working for the same company as me in China, and since arriving in China I've met so many more teachers that have come here through Impact Teaching. There is no way I could've navigated the application, interview, and visa processes by myself without Arnold's help and guidance. Arnold has still been really supportive since I've been in China, he had always been reachable if I had any questions or concerns and he still keeps in touch, asking how everything is going and asking about any issues im having that he may be able to help with. China has been such an amazing place to live and work and I am now starting my second year here!

Impact Teaching's ongoing support and extensive experience helping teachers get positions has made a massive difference, and I would recommend them to anyone coming to China or any of the other countries that Impact Teaching offers placements with.

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.
