I had a great experience with Teach English Global. My recruiter, Dan, was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process of securing a teaching position in Beijing. He was organized, knowledgeable, honest and made the job search and the move much easier by guiding me every step of the way. He patiently answered all my questions, kept me informed at every stage, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to his support, I landed a role that suits my goals. I highly recommend Teach English Global to anyone looking to teach abroad!

Dan helped me get placed in a teaching job in a language center in Shenzhen China. He was super helpful throughout the interview process putting me in touch with a variety of different of schools, and advising me based off what environment I was looking for. Also he did a fantastic job walking me through the sometimes complicated paper work for my visa application. And has checked in since I’ve started working to make sure everything is going well. I highly recommend working with him if you’re interested in teaching anywhere in China!

Dan is always on top of everything!

He communicates very clearly and doesn't put any pressure on you to commit to decisions. His information and insight has been very valuable through the recruitment process. Within 24 hours he had already found me a potential employer. He worked with me through each stage of securing the job and his contacts made the visa application process straightforward and easy. I would definitely make use of his services again in the future and I recommend him to others.

Dan provided great support in getting me out to China quickly at an inopportune time of the year. He’s provided support when anything has gone wrong while I’m out here and regularly checks up on me to ensure my needs are being met. If you’re looking to teach English and travel, I can’t recommend Dan enough.

Prior to leaving for China, Dan provided a breakdown of documents I would need, how to procure them, and a step-by-step guide on how to attain my visa that would be necessary in China.

Thanks for the help Dan!

I worked with Dan Wharton during my job search and with his help I was fortunate enough to secure a role in Shanghai that perfectly aligns with the career path I was hoping for. With consistent communication, steady support and a deep knowledge of the Shanghai job market and culture, Dan made sure I was well-prepared for each stage of the interview process and in my eventual move to Shanghai.

It was an easy going, smooth experience and I would recommend Teach English Global to anyone exploring teaching opportunities in China!

If you were to exclusively listen to internet fora like Reddit, you might be given the demoralising impression that in 2025 it is: impossible to find a job in China without decades of experience; every recruiter in the market is a Grade A scammer; and that you should essentially give up on your ideas. Thankfully, through Dan, I found an exception to this.

When I reached out to Dan through his application form online, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had used seemingly countless agencies, most of which would regularly misspell my name, pressure me into accepting contracts that seemed highly dodgy, and would set me up with interviews that were frankly out of balance with my skill set and/or experience. So, my first conversation with Dan felt like a breath of fresh air. He asked me the usual questions (experience, motivation, intended start date) but seemed to actually try to pair those up with positions that were relevant for me. Within a week, I was having multiple interviews which appeared signficiantly more 'legimitate' than the dozen odd that I had had previously.

The best thing about working with Dan, though, isn't just his eagerness and efficiency in finding you a job: it's the support that comes afterwards. The visa process is, like all visa processes, mind-bogglingly bureacratic and perplexing. Dan talked me through every single step patiently through multiple phone calls, and would act as an efficient intermediary whenever something unfamiliar would appear in our group with the organisation that now employs me. Beyond just the job and the visa, Dan also provided extremely useful tips regarding what to pack, how to get through the intensity of the first few weeks, and even which flights would be the best value for money. Oh, and he helped me prepare for my interviews as well!

Even after getting to China, Dan would regularly check in with me on WeChat to see how things were going. Considering how many teachers Dan has helped through the same process, I frankly have no idea how he has the time to pay such care and attention- but I'm not complaining!

tl;dr: if you're serious about wanting to work in China, but are daunted by the entire process, reach out to Dan and you will have a uniquely smooth experience!

Great from start to finish, no questions left unanswered and clear, effective communication. No regrets and no complaints!

If you're looking to work in China as an English teacher, this is a great opportunity for you. I was shown what to do through the entire process from booking flights, to visa applications and even a welcome guide to China. Any questions about life, work or travel were answered swiftly and with excellent knowledge on the subject, and any questions relating to the burocratic aspect of travelling were answered too, putting my mind at ease so I could focus on the transition to a new environment. If you're looking to ease your mental burden while making the move to China, this is the place to be!

Dan helped me get in touch with a school hiring English teachers in Beijing. He made the process very easy and communicated well with myself and the school. I was able to ask a lot of questions and felt I was getting honest and thoughtful answers. I would recommend Teach English Global when looking for employment. I taught English for the first time, and it was my first time in China. I was given some preparation advice and also Dan has been in the position of teaching English in China before, so I felt I was getting realistic advice.
