Impact Teaching Reviews

Having not had the best experience moving to China previously due to very little guidance and no social support, I was apprehensive about embarking on the same journey again.

However I can categorically say that TEIC made my experience unforgettable in all the right ways - we were instantly connected to a large group of teachers also making the move to China and Arnold was on-hand at all times to answer any questions. The meet-up in London prior to heading out and the summer-camp training in China before going to our cities was invaluable in terms of the teaching skills, experience and also the relationships I made with the other teachers. I made life-long friends from this programme and this gave me plenty of opportunities to travel in China with friends in different cities.

Cannot recommend this agency enough if you want to study in China!

I had the best experience with Impact Teaching. I have a few friends that are also with other agencies and struggle so much with clear communication and transparency. I do not have this problem with Impact teaching. I feel very lucky to have started with Impact teaching. Arnold really goes above and beyond with his work. I am from South African Cape Town and I moved to Wroclaw Poland end of Feb this year 2022. It has been a wild but fun rollercoaster and Aronal has been by my side giving great advice on what to do next. He understands what teachers need. I highly recommend Impact teaching.

Covid meant it took me a lot longer to teach abroad than originally planned, and I ended up in an entirely different location. However, all through this, I felt completely supported by Impact Teaching! I was kept up to date with any problems that arose and the potential options available to me, until I eventually ended up teaching in Thailand. Even since arriving here, Impact Teaching has continued to support me with any problems that I have. Also, the cost of enrolling with Impact Teaching is a lot cheaper than other companies that I looked at previously. This is really a company that cares about helping people get abroad to teach. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to teach abroad!

TEIC were very helpful throughout this whole process. In spite of the constantly changing requirements due to the pandemic, Arnold was always available and willing to offer assistance and guidance whenever I had questions about the interview process, document legalization, visas, flights and so on. As well as the help he was personally able to offer, he also invited me to join several WeChat groups which provided valuable insight into the green code maze. He has continued to provide support now that I am in China. If you're thinking of teaching English in China, I thoroughly recommend using their services.

My China experience came out of nowhere. As I approached the end of University I wondered what to do next. The GoOverseas team gave me an opportunity I will never forget. The networking opportunities from then on has put me in contact with people all over China, giving me opportunities to explore, seek, travel and grow both professionally and personally.
Alongside the team’s connectivity and helpfulness comes a reassurance in these current times. Arnold has reached out regularly to ensure that I and other teachers are safe and well during these times. This has always been reassuring.

Impact Teaching is good with helping you find work and getting through the visa process. They also are good with helping you find places to make friends and find things to do in your city. Arnold was very supportive with helping me transition into Warsaw; following through on my documentation for my taxes, school, and further legalization of stay. On their Youtube, their are many helpful guides to assist potential teachers. I would strongly recommend this organization to anyone thinking about teaching in Poland!

I have really enjoyed the Poland programme since I came to Warsaw in November 2021. I enjoy the school I work with and the students I teach, work are very helpful with resources and guidance. I really like living in Warsaw, it is a very well connected city with good places to go out and plenty to do, and Poland is also a very interesting country to travel around.

Impact teaching have been very helpful with providing support and creating a context in which I could share my ideas.

Furthermore, Warsaw is a great city to live in if you are interested in history, having studied history at undergraduate level I have really enjoyed this aspect of Warsaw and Poland.

Teaching English in China was an experience I will never forget!! When I was in my first year of University, I applied for the teach English in China summer programme which was 2 weeks of teaching at a summer camp in China. The application experience was very straight forward and I felt as if I could be 100% myself when sharing my experience and ideas. After being selected for the program, there was an orientation day where I met the people I would be working alongside which was very beneficial as I was able to travel with some of them and you felt like you were not alone in the process. The actual experience of teaching at first was a little daunting but as soon as you start, it is so rewarding to feel like you are capable of teaching. Seeing the children progress and enjoy the classes was the highlight for me. As well as this, you have plenty time to explore your surroundings after work.
I would really recommend this program for anyone who struggles with confidence or is looking for something new to self develop. I found that while I was teaching I was really able to let go of past anxieties and stress. It's also a very good way to discover a new culture and you just might want to return. After visiting China, I started studying international business and Chinese at University because i was so fascinated with the language and culture.

I took part in the programme a couple years ago, and I still think fondly of my time teaching in China. It was a joy to teach the children and experience the culture. The staff were friendly and I had lots of fun. In terms of facilities we stayed at a nice hotel nearby, lunches were provided, and we had an air conditioned staff room for break times. Mid-week we put on a show for the kids, and I remember all of us sang a Bruno Mars song. On the weekends there are a lot of beautiful places to visit. I would recommend to anyone to take part.

Going to China through Impact Teaching was definitely a great decision. You are always supported by the company, even when you move on from the placement. The application process is simple, and the help that you get during the visa process from both Impact Teaching and your school is invaluable, as it isn't always easy. During the training, you get to meet some great people that will become close friends, giving you more opportunities to travel around China. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to move abroad to teach.
