Great experience with lots of support along the way!

I applied for a role on Teaching Nomad and was selected for the position. Throughout the process, Oliver and the staff assisted me with the visa process and always made themselves available to answer questions. I had a few bumps in the road, but they were able to work it out.
I am now happily living and teaching in Shanghai, China. The team continues to check on me frequently. This has been an amazing experience so far, and I am very thankful that with the encouragement of the Teaching Nomad team, I am living my dream.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do it, don't second guess yourself. You will be glad you did.

Jayd's Experience - Reinserting into the UAE.

Oliver was incredibly helpful throughout the process. I was pretty nervous about working at a new school due to the flooded teacher market, however through Oliver, I was able to secure an interview and subsequently a very well paid teaching position at a reputed school. The interview process was conducted in person, and was very competitive. Oliver kept my fiance and I (she interviewed for a different position) updated throughout, as he recieved information. He also followed up numerous times after our onboarding process.

I am extremely grateful for his assistance.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Waiting for the confirmation emails.

I prayed - A LOT.

  • Clear communication

Great Experience

Oliver at Teaching Nomad helped me secure a teaching position. He was incredibly helpful and informative. He also remained in contact with me once my contract had started to ensure I settled into the new school and environment. Teaching Nomad made the process of applying for the position effortless and the continuous communication certainly helped me be at ease. Any concerns of mine were also addressed quickly with accurate information. Thank you for the great service! Will definitely recommend Teaching Nomad to other expats trying to secure a Teaching position abroad.

I would like to send my sincere gratitude to my recruiter Mike Ostrowski, who has been providing great service to support me finishing the job hunting process.

Their professional service and guidance will save you a lot of time. Thank you Mike for being an amazing recruiter and help me start my new adventure :)

Thanks to Mike O. at Teaching Nomad

I found out about Teaching Nomad through a friend of mine, who had just signed up herself. When she first told me about the site, I was admittedly skeptical. Send in your information ONCE, apply to multiple schools, and never write a cover letter again?! It sounded too good to be true! In fact, I was half expecting there to be some sort of catch. But, as I sit here with the contract for my new job in front of me, I'm happy to report that Teaching Nomad is legit. I registered in the last week of February, and I had a job offer in the second week of March. Of course, if a service is free, you're the product, but in this instance, that's a good thing!

I'd specifically like to shout out my recruiter, Mike Ostrowski. He was an angel throughout our time together. Super helpful with any questions I had, sensitive to my concerns, and quick to communicate.

Overall, I had a great experience with Teaching Nomad. I highly recommend giving their service a try.

Review Of Recruitment Experience

I had a great recruitment experience with Teaching Nomad. There are a wide range of roles and locations on offer. I love that you are assigned a personal recruiter. I was blessed with Flavio as mine, who was great. He listened to what I wanted, he tried to find me what I wanted, and put me forfard, but was also realistic and knowledgeable about the different markets and gave me impartial advice during the process regarding contracts etc. This was a far better experience than most recritment websites and agencies.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Schools in China are heiracal working environments, not collaborative. You will be expected to follow their system. If you are happy to comply you will be fine.

Best experience with Teaching Nomad

I had the best experience with teaching Nomad my recruiting consultant was Jayne Donabie and she was superb. Not only committed to guide me through the process but she answered all of my questions and and direct me to find the best job for my circumstances. Most definitely Teach Nomad excels expectations both my husband and I have been with The Nomad for over 2 years.
I would recommend Jayne as she is absolutely amazing and caring. It makes such a difference having someone so reliable.

Great support system

First it's free 😁 and if that was not great enough, you are actually paired with a recruiter that you can video chat and email with. I myself worked with Flavio E. and he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Teaching overseas is a big venture to undertake, but his assistance allowed me to feel more at ease with the process.

I liked that personal touch because it was a good balance between having help available, but at the same time having the independence to look up schools on Teaching Nomad's user friendly website.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
To make sure to ask all the questions that arise, so that you make an informed decision.

Questions & Answers

At this time, many schools in China are hiring from overseas and feel confident they will be able to secure working visas for overseas hires. We would encourage you to begin getting your documents authenticated now so you are prepared for the visa application.

Hello Erik, most of the English teaching roles posted on our site require candidates from native English speaking countries. However we do have subject teacher positions for non-native speakers if they have experience teaching that subject. We also have TEFL course + job placement opportunities in many countries that don't require the candidates to be native speakers. You can learn more about...

Yes! A teaching degree is not required to teach abroad. In many cases experience and/or a TEFL certification is an adequate qualification. We place couples all the time!

In such a case we would recommend the individual to contact the authorities to report the assault. This would include local police as well as the consulate or Embassy of your country. Of course we would never work with a school or organization that allowed an assault to occur.
