Program Reviews

My first job in Taiwan was through utilizing Teaching Nomad back in 2016. Every year, I always went back to Teaching Nomad to get them to help me find a new teaching position! Just recently, I had the pleasure of having Sylvia Spanos be my advisor for this upcoming semester. I loved that she was patient, always searching for jobs that matched my criteria, and did well to communicate across two different time zones!

I would recommend Teaching Nomad! Thank you for all the help throughout the years!

I feel as though I learned how to become a better teacher because of this program. The teachers gave me great feedback after every teaching practice and I got the chance to improve my teaching skills with each practice. I also received great resources that I'll be using in the continuation of my teaching career and I made great friends in the class that I'm still in connection with. We learned how to create a through out written lesson plan, the different things we need to be aware of such as teaching online v.s teaching in person and teaching groups who have different level of learning.

I am happy to tell that Teaching Link helped me a lot to improve as a professional in ESL teaching. I learnt a lot in the course and I reviewed some techniques and principles I haven't got in touch thoroughly in college. I remembered such lessons and I can happily say that they helped me to reassure my ESL teaching performance and to apply such principles in my teaching practice. Moreover, I got a really nice certification that allows me to teach abroad in any country I want to go to. I believe this is one of the nicest experiences I've ever had.

Hi all,
My name is Mohammad Tamouni, I am a qualified Arabic Language teacher from Jordan. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in (Arabic), a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Teaching & (PGCE).  
I am so lucky to be part of the Teaching Nomad family. The lovely & professional Jayne Donabie contacted me after I filled the application on the Teaching Nomad site, since then she has kept trying her best to find an excellent school to suit an excellent teacher like me, until she did.
Jayne Donabie, without you I wouldn't know anything about the school in the UAE. Thanks a lot for your excellent and free services.
It is like a dream come true.
I really advise all qualified, experienced and fantastic teachers who love teaching to contact Teaching Nomad, that will save their time and end up with an excellent job in the country you choose.
With Teaching Nomad, you are in safe hands.
All the best lovely teachers
Mohammad

I have a great experience about this course. I took this course only because it was a requirement to get a job in China but this course exceed my expectations. My two teachers were very knowledgeable. They have experience teaching English and give us feedback that helps to make improvements in a short period of time. They also help with ideas to build a good lesson plan. They pay attention to your body language, your ability to communicate and class management in terms of content and time.The course provides useful tools to start your career as an English teacher regardless of whether or not you have experience in the area.

I've been using Teaching Nomad for the second time since I arrived in China. I have to say that I am impressed by the support and structure. Except the early first interview looool, I'd love the fact that I could chat with them via WeChat, email or else whenever. Marissa Olan has been listening to my needs in looking for my new positions and assist me to look for the appropriate school. As a non-native qualified teacher it was refreshing to have someone showing me that finding a job where I wanted was possible. I will be using their services again. They have a great range and variety of schools working with them.
A trustworthy agency. Thank you.

I think to take a certification with Teaching Link was really good. I felt confident to know there are these kind of programs to teach abroad. To go back to the basics is not easy, but this course was one of my favorites due to this experience. I can only say that this course helped me to reinvent my lesson plans and to re design the way I teach.
Thanks to this program I am thinking about teaching abroad in China. Now that I am getting my TEFL certificate I feel more confident about my teaching skills and I belive I can help other people to learn English.
To finish, I would like to say thank you to all the instructors that are in charge of Teaching Link. They helped me a lot and I highly recommend their programs.

After a friend recommended Lauren Klein at Teaching Nomad to me, I decided to chat with her about teaching opportunities in China. She asked me a number of really helpful questions to assist me in figuring out the kind of position that would be best for me. She answered all questions I had within a day and was incredibly accommodating when my school preferences changed during the recruitment process. Lauren got me three interviews with great schools, and I'm sure I could have had as many as I wanted if I didn't like one of those three. In the end I found a great job, and I barely had to do a thing more than showing up to the interview. All in all I highly recommend Lauren and Teaching Nomad.

This will be my first time teaching in China and teaching abroad so I did extensive research onto which recruiter seemed the best. Teaching Nomad seemed to have the best reviews so I decided to go with them and they definitely lived up to the high expectation. My placement consultant was Tiffany and she was fantastic. She got in touch and organised a short interview via Skype where she asked what I was looking for. Tiffany then put my application out to all the schools that met my requirements. I didn't have to do anything really. All of a sudden interviews were coming left right and centre. Tiffany was still on hand to answer any questions I had, for instance I was curious about the wage bracket between Nanjing and Fuzhou and Tiffany went above and beyond in terms of working out the difference. I have now accepted a schools offer and I couldn't have done it without the support of Tiffany and Teaching Nomad. If you are want to teach in China and aren't sure who to go with, go with Teaching Nomad they won't let you down.

I heard about Teaching Nomad through a friend who landed a position in the UAE. Thus, I decided to look into it as I started to expand my international search. I sent in all of my documents and was assigned a mentor, Marissa. From the beginning Marissa was so supportive. I was looking for teaching jobs in China and UAE. Marissa constantly sent me available positions and asked me if they were a good fit. We are living in a challenging time so to receive such timely feedback was appreciated. I'd definitely use Teaching Nomad again.
