Questions & Answers

How much can I earn with a masters in education, emphasis in ESL and 6 years teaching ESL in the US?

If you're asking for Korea specifically, the positions we have available have a pretty narrow salary range regardless of experience and qualifications - Pay is from 2mm - 2.8mm Won per month ($1,800 - $2,500 USD) and you could probably expect to be in middle-high end. In China, you could expect $2,300 - $3,000 USD/month.

How difficult is it to move with a small dog?

Depends on which country you're moving to. For example, some cities in China require your pet goes into quarantine for a couple weeks upon arrival, while other cities do not. Long story short, it will add some challenge and probably some cost but it's definitely do-able.

Great and Reliable Company

Jan 22, 2020

Even though I accepted a teaching position in South Korea through another recruiting company, Teaching Nomad was a great resource to have had in the job hunting process. A situation occurred where an offer I was given - not through Teaching Nomad- suddenly fell through after almost two months of sending over a digital copy of my signed contract and visa paperwork for the school to say they no longer needed me. Teaching Nomad was swift in their efforts to find me a replacement position so I had options even after the first fail.

Madison Van Doren was my recruiter for Teaching Nomad and I have nothing but great things to say! She was attentive, got back to me very quickly, provided me with teaching positions options that met my needs and was there to answer questions kindly throughout the way. I was applying with my partner and while it can be difficult to place couple sometimes, Madison did not hesitate to help us and reassure us that there would be a position out there for us. Madison took the time to get to know myself and my partner in order to send us jobs that would meet our qualifications and not just any random opportunity that came her way. Highly recommend teaching nomad and especially recommend Madison as a recruiter. Thank you for all your help!!!!!!!!!

What would you improve about this program?
I have nothing to recommend as I did not have any problems.

First Time Teaching

Apr 24, 2019

I found out about Teaching Nomad from searching online and reading as many reviews as possible. I am happy I looked into them, as they have been such an amazing help. My consultant Madison has been such an amazing help! She has made this process so smooth for me and I was placed within a month of speaking with her. The program I was placed into is one of the largest private schools in SK (as a first-year teacher), and I can't wait to start teaching there in the next few months.

I am currently using their services to help me along with getting all my documents approved and notarized as well. I am so glad that they have this service because I would not know where to start. They are always there with a quick response to any question you have about the process as well and more than happy to help.

Job Title
Account Manager & Placement Consultant
I am a Cambodian/American that grew up in Colorado. I had the opportunity to study abroad in New Zealand for a semester which sparked my desire to travel around the world. Upon graduation, I moved to South Korea for a year to become an ESL Instructor. I enjoy going to music shows, learning languages, trying new foods and playing sports.

What is your favorite travel memory?

It's definitely hard to choose one travel memory, but I would say I really enjoyed my time in Cambodia. I am Cambodian American, so it was great to finally visit the place that my family originated from.

It was exciting being able to meet family members, visit the famous temples and sights, explore different parts of the country and learn more about my own culture. Although it was sad to see the lingering effects of the Khmer Rouge, it was amazing to see how much development was going on with Cambodia and how the people were still so kind and motivated to keep moving forward.

I was completely unaware at how international Cambodia is becoming!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I think it has helped me improve upon my interpersonal skills. Being a teacher allowed me to confidently speak in front of a small group. Working at Teaching Nomad, as we are constantly meeting with different types of individuals from fresh graduates to administrators and clients, has helped me become a lot more comfortable speaking with all kinds of individuals.

It’s also been great helping me develop my business knowledge and skill sets through my experience of being an account manager.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

We offer a lot of interesting programs for our candidates, but the one that captures my interest the most would be our in-class TEFL course in Prague!

I’ve always had a fascination with Europe ever since learning about its history in high school, so it’d be great if I had a chance to visit one part of it. I love the architecture there and the country itself just seems beautiful!

Not only am I interested in the location, but I think the course itself is a great experience for individuals who want to travel and immerse themselves in another culture while learning useful skills that can help them get a new job abroad!

Being an ESL instructor can be rewarding as you'll be teaching students a new language that will open up more opportunities for them. Our TEFL course is a just a great option that combines people's desire for travel while giving them a chance to give back to their new community.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

To me, the biggest factor in being a successful company is being able to truly listen and understand the needs of your candidates and clients. It’s important to understand what each party is looking for and what their goals are, so that our company can figure out how to provide for them and help them meet those goals.

Through asking the right questions and building a personal connection with each candidate and client, it ensures that we can make a good match between the candidates and the schools and that they’ll be a good fit for each other.
