Program Reviews

My experience with teachingnomad was fantastic. Jayne was my consultant/recruiter. She was quick to respond, polite, prompt, and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to teach abroad as she is very supporting and responds quickly to any queries or messages you may have. Jayne guided me throughout the process of the online recruitment fair and has great energy and enthusiasm for her role. I felt that having a recruiter living in the country you are applying to very supportive.
Thank you Jayne for all of the support.

Teaching Nomad and Lauren and Amanda Corken have answered all my questions throughout the application process, as well as began the process for gathering all my needed documents and notarizing them. Lauren reached out to many different school in the areas that I asked for, and got me into contact with them. She has helped me to craft my resume to the schools likings and monitored my contact with the schools. I am very happy with her and Teaching Nomad as a whole, I would definitely recommend this service to friends and colleagues.

My experience with teachingnomad was great. Marissa was my consultant/recruiter. She was attentive, fast to respond, polite, prompt, and professional. I would recommend her(which I already have) to anyone who is looking to teach abroad!

I saw teaching nomad mentioned in a teaching abroad group on FB. Although its not one of the more popular platforms I actually found this to work in my favor!! I received better feedback from Marissa. It felt way more personable versus working with a larger platform and only feeling like a number.

Teaching Nomad is a fantastic company. They are efficient and are very thorough when assisting you with securing a job position. Moira was my recruiter and she is amazing, she helped me with everything from making sure I had the right qualifications, to finding a great job for me. I was able to attend a virtual job fair with various schools in China, where I was able to set up an interview and get in contact with various schools. I was offered a position shortly after their virtual job fair. The process is simple when having guidance from your recruiter.

Teaching Nomad made a great effort in order to help me find an opportunity in China! Although the Coronavirus outbreak has affected my ability to visit China at this time, I am thankful that I got to work with Sylvia Spanos. She was very helpful! I would not have it any other way. Perhaps after the pandemic, I will be able to reapply for opportunities in Asia but for now, I will sit tight in the USA. If you are serious about going to Asia, Teaching Nomad is the place to work with. They will help you with every aspect of the job application process.

I had been working in a university in China for nearly three years when I decided it was time for a change. With two education degrees, I was hoping to get a job in an international school. I reached out to Teaching Nomad after hearing great things about the company from my colleagues.

I had a very positive experience with Teaching Nomad, Tiffany Xiao was my agent and she was an absolute star! She helped me to find a number of suitable positions and she provided frequent contact throughout the process. She also helped me to get information regarding a teaching license, which I am excited to start in the upcoming months!

I really cannot recommend Teaching Nomad enough! Because of this company and my wonderful agent I have an amazing job in an international school in Beijing. I cannot wait to start my international school teaching career there!

I'm not sure what value my review will serve as I did not complete the process because another opportunity manifested; however, if I persisted in my endeavor to teach abroad Teaching Nomad would have remained my program of choice for several and obvious reasons. For one: my placement consultant, Marissa, really guided me through this process and made it as seamless as possible. I was impressed by the amount of time she spent assisting me and finding jobs that she thought would be a good fit for me. She was also amazing with communication––always responding to my emails and answering literally any question I had. I should also add Teaching Nomad is so centralized that you could complete the process (with an exception of attaining your passport and background check) through them.

Lauren Klein is patient, long suffering and friendly. I found her to be approachable and easy to speak to. She pays attention to your needs and is excellent at communicating and always responds to emails in a timely manner. Her follow-up and feedback are valuable. Lauren said that she will get me interviews within a month and followed through on this and got me 3 interviews. She is knowledgeable of schools and countries that she works with and provides relevant advice that helps to make a decision. Lauren takes into account all aspects of your future, including family and financial needs. She pays attention to detail. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking to find a position abroad.

I have not started the role yet, so I cannot comment on the job itself in any way, however, I have had a positive experience with TN. Initially, I had interviewed with the CEO in Denver, and he seemed really down to Earth and decent. He seems like he would be a nice guy to work alongside. I was then passed to Marissa, another agent, and she was great too. The initial chat we had was clear and reasonable, and it did not seem as though she was a pushy recruiter, unlike many others I have dealt with. She seems keen on actually finding me a role that suited me, not just any role she wanted to 'get rid of' (I have had this SO much previously).

She stayed in touch throughout the process and made sure everything was running smoothly and wished me well at the end. I had found it hard to 'crack' into the international school market with a subject outside of English, but Marissa got me in the door! This could define the rest of my career!

The automated job matching was less on point, 'matching' job in my job alerts being located in completely different cities than I had asked for. This is more a system issue rather than an agent issue of course. I would ignore the job alerts and just go through the agent in future.

I haven't yet started the job placement, so there are certain things I cannot speak for, but having gone through the early stages of getting set up and finding a job placement in Taiwan, I can say honestly that Marissa from Teaching Nomad was everything you could hope for in a placement consultant. My situation has been a bit of a mess due to some factors which have nothing to do with Teaching Nomad, but throughout she has been friendly, helpful and informative, with quick and comprehensive responses. Marissa seemed to genuinely care about our wants and concerns throughout the whole process, and if she reflects the way things operate at Teaching Nomad (which judging by their good reputation, she does), then they've got my recommendation.
