Teaching Nomad Support

I am thankful for the support from teaching nomad. They were very helpful and quick with responses when needed during my job searching process. Oliver Gorman was very helpful and always checks in to see how I am getting on, if I need help etc. would highly recommend teaching nomad. Oliver was always caring and would ask how I am settling in, my job process, if I need any assistance etc. Oliver would check in with the school regularly about anything I needed during the job process and would reply instantly and find out what I needed. Oliver was a great help and support during this time.

An excellent experience!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Oliver from Teaching Nomad, during my job search, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and support throughout the process. From our first conversation, it was clear that Oliver was genuinely interested in understanding my career goals and aspirations. He took the time to provide advice that was both practical and encouraging.What stood out the most was Oliver's dedication and responsiveness. He kept me informed at every step, promptly answering my questions and ensuring I was well-prepared for interviews. I would recommend Oliver to assist anyone who is searching for a job!

Sylvia Spanos: a great recruiter

I have been working with Sylvia Spanos (teacher recruitment) for several months during the COVID confusion...I was an international school teacher looking for my next position abroad. She has helped me through many problems and is always so friendly, supportive, and reliable. Sylvia is solution-oriented and reaches out to me often throughout the recruitment process. Through several job offers, Sylvia was there to make sure I got the proper contract terms and conditions I wanted. I will continue to work with her as long as I pursue international school teaching. Thanks Sylvia!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
For teachers abroad, it is the best idea to find a good recruiter, build a relationship with them, and then you can trust them. There are so many UNreliable recruitment agents and companies out there now. Teaching Nomad has been very good to me.

Jayne Donabie at Teaching Nomad

Hi all,
My name is Mohammad Tamouni, I am a qualified Arabic Language teacher from Jordan. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in (Arabic), a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Teaching & (PGCE).  
I am so lucky to be part of the Teaching Nomad family. The lovely & professional Jayne Donabie contacted me after I filled the application on the Teaching Nomad site, since then she has kept trying her best to find an excellent school to suit an excellent teacher like me, until she did.
Jayne Donabie, without you I wouldn't know anything about the school in the UAE. Thanks a lot for your excellent and free services.
It is like a dream come true.
I really advise all qualified, experienced and fantastic teachers who love teaching to contact Teaching Nomad, that will save their time and end up with an excellent job in the country you choose.
With Teaching Nomad, you are in safe hands.
All the best lovely teachers
Mohammad

Great experience

My experience with teachingnomad was great. Marissa was my consultant/recruiter. She was attentive, fast to respond, polite, prompt, and professional. I would recommend her(which I already have) to anyone who is looking to teach abroad!

I saw teaching nomad mentioned in a teaching abroad group on FB. Although its not one of the more popular platforms I actually found this to work in my favor!! I received better feedback from Marissa. It felt way more personable versus working with a larger platform and only feeling like a number.

What would you improve about this program?
Adding new schools to the list more frequently. Although this issue could have been caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.

Recruiter - Lauren Klein

Lauren Klein is patient, long suffering and friendly. I found her to be approachable and easy to speak to. She pays attention to your needs and is excellent at communicating and always responds to emails in a timely manner. Her follow-up and feedback are valuable. Lauren said that she will get me interviews within a month and followed through on this and got me 3 interviews. She is knowledgeable of schools and countries that she works with and provides relevant advice that helps to make a decision. Lauren takes into account all aspects of your future, including family and financial needs. She pays attention to detail. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking to find a position abroad.

Recruiting process

I'm glad to leave this review about Teaching Nomads. Nick Bonnet was very resourceful and helpful in the process of searching for another career opportunity in teaching. He was very patient. If I had rate his customer service I would give him a 10 out of 10. He sent me several different schools in the areas and countries that I had inquiries about. Nick did an awesome job of answering any questions that I had. I will definitely consider using Teaching Nomads for the future. Thank you Nick Bonnet for all of your help.

Questions & Answers

I don't believe that the Middle East would be accepting of a South African's teaching experience prior to obtaining the PGCE qualification in Korea or experience from any other country for that matter. Most requirements are 2 years experience post PGCE and have increased that to 3 years. I had more than 5 years of experience from South Africa prior to completing my PGCE which was not taken into...

There's a number of factors to consider like: 1. Will your husband be working 2. Age of your child and whether or not they require tuition. 3. Your qualifications and experience. That said, families move overseas to teach abroad all the time! As a woman in UAE you are able to sponsor dependent visas for your family and most schools do provide either free or discounted tuition for dependents. We'd...

Generally speaking, degrees from fully online colleges are not accepted for work visa approval. However if the school offers both campus based & online programs, the online degree could be accepted.

Hello Callum, we have schools that will hire NQT's however for the experience to count towards your full QTS, you need to be hired by an accredited BSO (British school overseas) and we don't currently have openings at any of those. I suggest to register at www.teachingnomad.com and create a job alert to keep an eye on new openings.
