Tamaki TELF Recruitment (TTR)

Hii!
I’m Timesha from Barbados, W.I., and it’s a great pleasure to share my thoughts on TTR.
I came across TTR early on in my search for ESL recruitment agencies and was immediately drawn to it for the placement options across Asia.
I decided to apply after reading the reviews and noticing successful placements were found for persons from countries outside of the seven target English-speaking countries.
Throughout my journey to Japan Tomoko of TTR, was consistently professional and thorough, especially with preparing necessary documents and important deadlines.
Tomoko’s kind and approachable nature made it easy to ask questions which were always answered in a detailed and thoughtful manner.
When I arrived to Japan, I really appreciated her practical advice for clothing, medication, and communication. For example, I ordered a SIM card before arriving and picked it up on arrival. Doing this allowed me to navigate much easier and stay in contact with my family.
Like others Tomoko has helped, I appreciate her checking in with me after training and placement in Tokushima.
My experience with TTR has been wonderful and if you’re looking for the opportunity to explore some place new then I highly recommend TTR to you.

  • Application guidance
  • Placement assistance

TTR is Great.

Tamaki Tefl Recruitment is really awesome. This was my first big move from Africa to Asia so naturally I was excited but also had many fears and concerns. Tomoko reassured me and patiently answered all my questions. She prepared me for life in Japan and I am very grateful for because of this the culture shock ddnt hit as hard.
My visa process also wouldnt have gone as smoothly without their help.
Once in Japan, they checked on me on arrival and continued to stay in touch. The level of care is the best and i really appreciate this support system.
Looking to take some time off, go abroad and teach as you explore and see the beauty of Asia? Try TTR they are great at what they do.
Looking forward to more awesome times ahead, thank you TTR.

Pros
  • Safest country ever
  • Adventure lovers will love it
  • The food is great

TTR changed my life

The process of finding employment, a supportive structure that facilitates not only a smooth transition can be very daunting and intimidating. However, TTR made the process so easy. TTR is a highly organized, efficient company that strives to help you find a the position that suits you and in the best location placement. Tomoko, is very attentive, and supportive - she answered any of my questions and would go the extra mile to always check up on me during the whole process, and as you know there will be A LOT of initial questions. It wa amazing to have a support structure before, during and after the moving stages, TTR would go as far as making sure I settled into the new country well and helping me find a phone carrier, which in Japan quite a hassle. I’m extremely grateful to have found TTR to make my move abroad a breeze. I highly recommend TTR to help you make a life changing step to moving to the country of your dreams :))

Pros
  • Rewarding Job
  • Learning about new cultures and cuisine
  • Making meaningful, lifelong relationships with people abroad
Cons
  • Culture shock
  • Homesickness
  • Language Barrier

TTR

Tomoko was very helpful in my recruiting. I had applied to many TEFL opportunities, and due in a large part to Tomoko's quick and useful correspondence I accepted a job in Japan. Other companies and recruiters would often be difficult to keep in contact and unable to give relevant information in a timely manner. With Tomoko she kept everything up to date and even kept in touch even after my arrival making sure everything went smoothly even after I had done my training with my new company. I am thankful for Tomoko's skill in recruiting which helped me land a great job in Japan.

Pros
  • Quick responses and information
  • Great location placement
  • After arrival check in
Cons
  • No cons

TTR is the Best!

Tamaki Recruitment was always helpful, patient and supportive from the 1st email i sent looking for a teaching job overseas to the time i settled in my apartment in Japan. The recruiter Tomoko Tamaki is the best, she communicated about every step, how hard or how easy it will be. She checked on my well being during the Covid 19 period hence for me it was that act of kindness that made me i realise i was in safe hands. Very professional and thorough in every step and process, she made sure i sent her the correct information and documents. Everything was outlined to me regarding the way of living in Japan what to expect and how i was to live, it prepared me socially and emotionally. Since being in Japan, Tamaki Recruitment still contact me to make sure I am doing well and happy. Tamaki Recruitment show concern about my wellbeing in Japan and continues to support me every step of the way. I will forever be grateful to Tamaki Recruitment, without Tamaki Recruitment i would have been a bird without wings. Thank you Tamaki Recruitment for everything, really appreciate it, you made my dream of coming to Asia a reality.

A1 work from Tomoko

Tomoko turned a complex process into something bite-sized, manageable, and deeply rewarding. As someone who had never traveled overseas before, I came to her with countless questions regarding teaching overseas---some existential, others purely technical. She always provided detailed answers in a swift and empathetic manner, making sure I understood exactly what to expect during this new undertaking. She also continued to correspond with me after I began work, offering affirmation and support despite already having fulfilled the essentials of her role. Whether you're a seasoned educator or a total beginner out of college like me, expect exceptional service if Tomoko is facilitating your transition.

Pros
  • Responsive and informative
  • Highly experienced
  • Compassionate

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment Changed My Life

Tamaki TEFL recruitment was able to change my life for the better. Coming from a small island and never having left, the process of moving away for work was very intimidating but I decided to take a chance by applying with TTR. I have no regrets. The entire process was very smooth and Tomoko made sure that I felt comfortable, safe, and confident before I left for Japan. She insured that I had the best support from the very first interview up until several months after having settled in Japan. I recommend TTR to anyone looking for a good company to help them start their Journey with teaching abroad. Tomoko's professional, bright and uplifting personality will make you feel like you're in the right hands.

Pros
  • Professional
  • Great Support
  • Smooth Process

Travel to Japan

My travel to Japan was so special mainly because I had to wait for 2 years to finally make the trip due to Covid restrictions. Tamaki TEFL kept in touch throughout the waiting process and would share information with regards to updates and necessary preparations for smooth travel.

When I got to Japan they would also check on me every now and then and that helped me settle in a foreign land with no family. I am currently in Sendai and enjoying exploring the city, culture and a very diverse cuisine! Octopus has become a favourite! 😃

Pros
  • Adventure
  • Exposure
  • Independence
Cons
  • Language barrier

Questions & Answers

Hi Zac! I am pretty sure that everybody needs at least a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) to get the Japanese work visa. I can't speak for the other countries though. Also, there could be exceptions, but you should verify with the Japanese immigration site info: https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html Hope it helped! Have a good one!
