Teaching Nomad - Teaching Opportunities in China

When my original company had decided to move the department from China to Switzerland this was a real concern. I couldn't get a visa to the new location, and what's worse, I wasn't going to have my current visa renewed. I suddenly found myself with a deadline to find a job before I would be forced to pack and leave a country i'd been in for nearly six years.

I had looked for job opportunites myself, but I had trouble finding jobs that matched my skill set and experience. A colleague had suggested Teaching Nomad and so I submitted my information. I was quickly contacted by Madison Walker who was an emloyee at Teaching Nomad. Madison had a friendly disposition and listened as I explained the situation to her. She assured me her services were free, and took thorough notes on what I wanted and within a few hours produced a list of jobs which were exactly what I was looking for.

Within weeks of working with Madison, I had interviewed with my new company and was offered a managerial role.
Madison's help didn't stop there. She was quick to offer her assistance, make herself available for questions, and inquire on my experience within the new company.

I'm very happy to write that through my interaction with Teaching Nomand, I was able to find a quality job in a relatively short time. Through my interaction with Madison, I believe the organization is professional, and genuienly interested in helping the people that contact them.
This was a service that could have easily asked a fee, but cost me nothing.

All in all,
great staff and great program!

After a three year experience in Latin America thanks to the folks at Teaching Nomad I was able to secure a wonderful leadership opportunity in Beijing. My consultant Lauren Klein was super professional and her easy going, low pressure approach really helped me make an excellent career decision. I love working at Beanstalk International Bilingual School and the atmosphere is exactly as Lauren described it would be. That means there have been no surprises or unexpected obstacles.She answered my emails quickly and was willing to Skype with me anytime I had questions or concerns about a school or the process. This makes me feel confident in recommending Teaching Nomad to any educator looking for their next school. They might not be the biggest or most famous placement agency, but they certainly helped me reach my goals. Thank you Teaching Nomad!

From day one we were supported by Lauren Klein at Teaching Nomad. She was the most proactive and genuine of all the recruiters we dealt with and we always felt she had put some thought into the positions she would offer us whereas we got the impression other recruiters were simply trying to get us a position to earn a commission. The profile and information provided of the school was accurate and we have been delighted with the way everything has gone in our first week with everything turning out as promised. I would highly recommend using Lauren as a recruiter to other teachers, she is prompt in her replies when you need her and she genuinely listens to what you require in order to find the best match for your qualifications and ambitions as a teacher.

I had the pleasure of working with Sylvia Spanos as my Placement Associate. Not only was she quick with her email responses, but she also made sure I had all of the necessary information before making a decision. After the initial interview (where your consultant learns more about your preferences), Sylvia would send me job postings that she believed I was best suited for. Teaching Nomad only works with qualified ESL schools, so you know you can trust their judgement and their placements. Once Sylvia learned which schools I was interested in applying to, she would always follow up, and made sure that I didn't have any more questions. Working with Sylvia was fantastic and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is thinking about taking the plunge!

I have been living abroad for many years, and I have worked with many agencies that place teachers with schools. Teaching Nomad has consistently proven that they not only have the ability to provide ample options, but they also helped me connect with my new job at the school of my dreams! Madison Walker was the proactive Teaching Nomad agent that worked her butt off for me. In fact, she even had her wedding during the time I was job hunting, yet she still managed to talk to me and land me interviews the following Monday! She has been nothing short of amazing during this entire process, and like I said before, I have been through this process several times. If you are looking for the next step in your career, I would certainly recommend giving Teaching Nomad a chance!

I used Teaching Nomad's recruiting service to find a position at an international school in China. I worked with Darrah, who really helped simplify and streamline the process. I was able to apply to several schools that interested me. I really appreciated all the updates and quick responses I received throughout the process. I never felt pressured into accepting a position. Teaching Nomad was also very helpful through the lengthy document authentication process. I used their services to get my degree and background check authenticated. Again, I felt as if my questions were always promptly and thoroughly answered. I ended up finding a position that was exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to starting at that school this summer. Thank you, Darrah and Teaching Nomad!

I was extremely impressed by the service that Teaching Nomad provides. I had the pleasure of working with Helen Armstrong as my placement consultant. From the first conversation, they were very professional and clear about how the entire process would progress. I contacted them at the beginning of June 2019, and within a week we had a Skype conversation to decide on which positions would be the best fit. Helen was very proactive about keeping in contact and consistently provided me with excellent advice throughout the application and interviewing process. When I began getting offers, Helen was also immensely helpful as I had no idea what was typical for contracts in this area. The most confusing aspect of the process for me was the preparation of the documents for the visa application, but Helen and Teaching Nomad assuaged my concerns and provided helpful articles and resources that really simplified the whole process. Thanks to Helen's help, I signed a contract with a school in China that fit all of my ideal conditions within a month of contacting them.

Overall, I would recommend Teaching Nomad to anyone looking for overseas teaching positions. They demystified the entire process and providing tons of free resources and support.

This year, I was looking into teaching in China for a year, but I had no idea where to start. It can be a very confusing process, so I feel extremely lucky I came across Teaching Nomad and used their services. My placement consultant was Madison, who was literally the BEST person to work with! She answered all my questions but also listened to what I wanted out of the experience and did her best to match me with a school that had similar objectives. After I provided my materials for them, I immediately started getting interviews. I ultimately found a company that I really liked and that fit with the work hours I was looking for. Since it is difficult to know what schools in China are legitimate, it really helps having Teaching Nomad to filter it out and provide you with legitimate companies. If you are looking to teach in China, I highly recommend using Teaching Nomad!
