Teaching in Shanghai

When my husband and I were looking for teaching positions in China, our contact Madison at Teaching Nomad was so helpful! We were really nervous about the job search process because we needed to find jobs together and we were planning on doing a decent amount of traveling, so we needed a job with good benefits and good vacation time. Madison really listened to us when we expressed what we were looking for and helped us find jobs at the same school as each other with awesome benefits in the city of our choice. I definitely recommend Teaching Nomad to anyone looking to teach abroad. It made a complicated situation a little less complicated. We are really looking forward to our new positions and plan on using Teaching Nomad in the future as we search for jobs in other countries.

Very happy with service

Teaching Nomad as well as my recruiter Lauren Klein, have been very helpful in assisting me to secure a job in China. I received regular updates about new jobs and I am very happy with the quality of school I aquired a teaching position in. I appreciate how Lauren was able to find a school in the city I was most interested in (Shanghai) and in the salary range I was looking for. Also she has been very supportive ever since. The company also provides helpful information about moving to China and aquiring the right documents etc. It's great to get that extended support. I'm delighted and can't wait to start my new job in August! I would definitely recommend the company to anyone who is looking to explore a new culture as well as expand their professional career.

Teaching in Abu Dhabi

Working with Madison has made my job hunting for work abroad a breeze. She was such a pleasure to work with right from the start. She understood what my needs were and would only provide positions accordingly. She was helpful and always willing to answer any questions i had. Having her as my coordinator gave me the confidence in my interview process as she made me feel at ease and relaxed.From start to finish we have been communicating, she answered all my questions and if i was not sure of something she would make it clear. Even after my appointment she checked in to see if everything was going well and whether i was happy in the post. I would definitely recommend Nomad teaching and Madison to any prospective teachers looking to find work abroad.

Great course: thorough, helpful feedback

As someone who has teaching experience but not experience teaching English, I found that this course was a great opportunity to learn about what it's like to teach English abroad. There are videos of classroom sessions which are great examples, and you can practice writing lesson plans with detailed and timely feedback from the instructors. You can also revise the lesson plans you submit based on instructor feedback.

This course is a bit more expensive than some 120-hour online TEFL courses, but it seems more thorough than average, from what I researched. This company also helps with document legalization, which is rare for TEFL companies, and a major help if you're going to China. The course is mainly focused on teaching children, but there's lots of helpful teaching theory relevant to any age group. I was able to finish the course in a little under a week, but I made it my main focus. The exams are low-pressure because you can download the readings and reference them as you take the exams.

Teaching Nomad is the best teachers' placement agency- Madison Van Doren is the best placement consultant

Madison is the best recruiter that I have ever met! She helped me get a job within 2 weeks of my first meeting with her. She provided me with resources that helped gain a greater insight into the area I wanted to go into. Which in turn made the interview easier as I knew a lot about the job I was applying for. When you work with Madison you also have her contact details which makes it easy for you to communicate with her and she only puts you forward for roles you are suitable for. I would recommend her and the agency to anyone who is looking to get into English teaching. In a nut shell, my experience of working with Madison was exceptional. From initial contact until she successfully placed me into an English teaching Role, she consistently supported me in my applications. She went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. Highly recommended.

Teaching Nomad

Teaching Nomad was incredibly helpful in my wife and my job search. We learned about the program through a friend that previously used the program to successfully find teaching positions, and we are glad we took his advice. Teaching nomad was very prompt and patient with us throughout the job search process and showed a great deal of professionalism. The initial interview and providing of information was easy, and teaching nomad used that information to help us a apply for jobs we were interested in. We quickly received interviews with companies and ended the process with our first choice position. Teaching nomad made the job search as easy as possible for us and we would recommend their services to anyone wishing to teach in other countries!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
We would have worked with teaching nomad earlier to start the document authentication process for Chinese work visas.

Impressed by Teaching Nomad's Services!

I've been teaching abroad for about five years, and I'm very happy with the services and support Teaching Nomad has provided during my search for employment in China. This has definitely been the most positive, friendly recruitment experience I've had!

My placement consultant, Madison, was patient and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions in a timely manner, and guided me through all steps of the screening, interviews, contract review process, etc. Utilizing her expertise, she explained pertinent details to ensure my applications moved smoothly through each respective school's hiring procedures. Ultimately, I found the position which best matched my criteria and received support during the complicated visa process.

I would 100 percent recommend Teaching Nomad's services for anyone looking for professional, reliable and efficient support in securing a teaching job abroad.

First Time Teaching

I found out about Teaching Nomad from searching online and reading as many reviews as possible. I am happy I looked into them, as they have been such an amazing help. My consultant Madison has been such an amazing help! She has made this process so smooth for me and I was placed within a month of speaking with her. The program I was placed into is one of the largest private schools in SK (as a first-year teacher), and I can't wait to start teaching there in the next few months.

I am currently using their services to help me along with getting all my documents approved and notarized as well. I am so glad that they have this service because I would not know where to start. They are always there with a quick response to any question you have about the process as well and more than happy to help.

Quick, Quality Service

I signed up with Teaching Nomad when looking for work in Saudi Arabia. Madison was the coordinator I was assigned to, and she is such a sweet person. For me, it's really important to be treated at a personal level and not like a "case". She took note of my situation and was already experienced with securing jobs for teachers who had similar destination goals like me. Within about two weeks of my initial meeting with her, I had already signed my school contract for the upcoming year. The school has amazing reviews, the benefits are more than what I could ask for, and I can't wait to go to the school this September. It can be a little daunting having so many steps ahead of of me, but it's nice to know I'll still have her support throughout the process.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Definitely get to know your destination. I've been wanting to go to Saudi Arabia for a few years. Look up different experiences of other teachers and take a chance.

Great help from Teaching Nomad

Teaching Nomad helped me from the start. From uploading the first documents to getting hired. I am a qualified teacher so there where lots of jobs available, I got exactly the help I needed.

There are lots of documents and papers to be sorted and uploaded, but I got good advice on what I needed to do. After this Teaching Nomad helped with the job market and recommended me what jobs to apply for. Durig the interview process they supported me and advised me.

After this process they stayed in touch while I was in Contact with my hiring school. All in all it was a very good service.

The benefits of teaching in Saudi Arabia are very good. Tax-free salary and an apartment without having to pay rent, so there are good oppourtunities to save money.
