Teach English in China - Teach English Global

I’m writing this review having been in China for one week, which wouldn’t have happened without Dan. I’m super thankful to Dan, he helped me out every step of the way, introduced me to a recruitment agency in China and walked me through every step of the visa process and just acted like a good pal the entire way through. I wouldn’t be here without him and I appreciate all his help massively. China’s a difficult country to move to, but Dan’s advice made it a million times easier. He’s a great help, I would definitely recommend for any first time teachers.

Dan’s help was invaluable to me and my girlfriend upon moving to China for TEFL teaching. He assessed our experience level and pointed us in the right direction , advising agency work with an agency in Shenzhen, and helped us closely every step of the way throughout a complicated VISA process and TEFL/teacher training course. Dan was happy to accept our calls and answer any questions of which there were many with it being our first time teaching abroad. We really couldn’t have done it without him!

After extensive research on recruiters, I ultimately chose Teach English Global. Dan responded to my email, sent out my CV, and within a week or so, had already set up an interview with a school in Shanghai.

Seamless.

That's the best word I can use to describe my experience working with Dan. He’s a chill guy and makes sure you're comfortable each step of the way! Visa process was a cake-walk and only took about 5 days before I received my Z Visa.

To anyone still hesitant, give Dan a go. He’ll definitely go above and beyond to help you!

Thanks again, Dan!!

When I decided to think about my next destination in teaching, I was a bit reluctant and nervous about contacting Teach English Global. It was nothing personal, I knew I wanted to try out China but had heard some horror stories regarding recruiters and agencies in China. Also being on the outside, it's hard to find legitimate jobs IN China. However, I found Teach English Global on the same website where I got my TEFL qualification. And it was listed as a partner with my accreditation and two other big-name accreditations in the industry. So I thought it must be reliable.

Talking to Dan I was able to have an honest conversation about my current situation, what I was looking for and what I was not looking for. He made the process very simple and easy - which I've learned about China - is not easy. I was initially taken back by his suggestion about an agency, just because of what I've heard about agencies online and knowing they are on the lower end salary-wise in the industry in China. But I went for it anyway, taking the opportunity instead of wondering what if. And the interview went well, I got positive vibes from the agency. Which was important as I wanted a positive experience to come out of it.

Dan and the agency were very accommodating with my situation as I was in a toxic work environment that led me to quit my job and go home instead of finishing my contract and then possibly moving on to this one. Then when I went home a family member had just passed away which left me questioning whether now was the right time - even if the job wouldn't start for another few months.

The process was easy, Dan and the agency rep would help with the process. Dan with making sure your documents are legalised. The agency with the actual process for the visa. Then in the weeks with the agency prepared me for interviews online with schools.

I'm now within my first few weeks in China - am yet to start the job due to the Spring Festival. And so far have been overwhelmed by the support the agency has given in terms of getting you started in China - stuff that would've been challenging on my own. Any issues I've faced have nothing to do with the agency itself but with how things work in China and the period being before the holidays. This element can be complicated and something that no one can prepare you for.

My only feedback regarding the placement of the agency was that my moving date was asked to be moved earlier last minute (to do with schools), I was originally meant to arrive after the Spring Festival, and this left things a bit harder in getting set up because it was just before the holiday and I had to get a lot ready in a short time before flying out. Also some things talked about in the interview like training - I wasn't provided and other teachers were - however, this could be because I had some experience compared to others so it was a low priority for them with me. The important thing is coming into China the support is there.

I would say overall, Dan is a decent recruiter to go with if you are outside of China and looking for a reliable job in China but can't find anything yourself. I don't know what other kinds of jobs he offers - if they are just agencies or not. But at least the agencies seem trustworthy so far. And he and whoever you end up with will try to simplify the process as much as possible.

Highly recommend! The daunting process of moving abroad was made to seem easy and stress-free!

Teach English Global advised me on what kind of school would best suit my level of experience and put me in contact with a reputable teaching agency very quickly.

Regular contact with Dan, the founder, meant that I knew what to expect at every turn during the process and he gave great advice from a place of knowledge and experience.

Everything from interviews to the Visa application was made to seem simple and the process altogether seamless.

My experience with this organization was with Dan. He was helpful throughout the entire process, offering very helpful guidance from the start. He was available whenever I needed questiosn and provided reassurance if any difficulties arose in the process. Overall, the employees make the difference in a company and I found that the experience was made excellent by the interactions with Dan. The people that I was introduced to through this organizational were equally as helpful and friendly. The entire process of going overseas, despite being a big change, was made very comfortable and clear.

My recruiter Dan was very helpful in helping me get my work visa and explaining each step towards working in China. He was legit and mad everything to understand. I haven't moved to China yet but they helped set up my interview and get hired by a school in Shenzen and helped with the work visa which I was all able to get in like the span of 2 months. The recruitment staff was also very helpful in guiding me towards a successful interview and helping me get the job. I was able to get the salary I wanted and they also answered questions I had about what I would need to live in China.

Teach English Global was a really wise choice. Dan helped me through everything, at every stage so I felt quite confident in my choices. Even after when I arrive in China, he was still present and willing to help. He would even talk in my behalf which I appreciate it.

He had a lot of knowledge and experience in China so I liked to hear his feedback and advice.

Dan was also very easy going so it was quite easy to talk to him and he would always reply fast. So overall, they do a good job in placing me at a school and help me get to China.
