HESS is good if you are a first-time teacher, or if you want to get a job before you travel overseas. They give you brief training and help you find a house and get set up. Your experience mostly depends on the individual branch you work at - mine was well-organised with friendly staff who were very helpful, and the other foreign teachers were great. The pay is pretty standard for new teachers - if you are qualified, you could get much better pay. The materials and lesson plans are all prepared for you. HESS has kindy classes too which is great for energetic people.

Thank you for your review of HESS.
We pride ourselves on hiring and training quality teachers so our students receive only the best English education.
We are especially prepared to support first-time teachers but also provide the opportunity for more experienced teachers to grow and develop their skills in the classroom.
Hess is currently offering adjusted starting pay rates based on experience or having a TEFL certificate or teaching credentials.
