TravelGrad have been absolutely brilliant during every step of my teaching abroad journey.

I knew after I graduated that I didn't want to go straight into the working world in the U.K. and was ready to challenge myself to gain some extra experience of living and working abroad. However, I was unsure of the exact route I would take to do this. I then heard about TravelGrad through a friend who had previously used them and spoke of them highly.

After getting in contact with Andrew and the team, I got excited about the possibility of moving to either Thailand or Vietnam to work. Andrew was really helpful in helping me to choose the right option for me by supplying me with important information about both placements. Once I chose Thailand, the team was helpful in guiding me through the steps that needed to be taken in order to move abroad. They were also always able to answer questions I had whenever I needed to ask them.

Since being in Asia, TravelGrad has been a great support for navigating life abroad. Again, they have always been available to answer questions.

My time in Thailand so far has been life-changing. Immersing myself in the school environment has helped me to learn so much from the Thai teachers, the other graduates, and the children. Thai schools are so cool; unlike schools in the U.K., there is a huge focus on arts, creativity and self-expression. It has been so inspiring to see and get involved with this and it has helped me to take myself and life less seriously.

A big thank you to TravelGrad for helping to facilitate the positive and self-developing experience I have had so far here in Thailand. :)

I'm so glad I chose TravelGrad for my first teaching abroad experience. Andrew was always available to answer any questions, even though I was in a completely different time zone in the US. I loved that I was able to meet a ton of other teachers at orientation before going to my placement, which helped me not feel alone. My experience teaching in Thailand has been such an adventure! Students are so friendly and excited to see you. Everywhere you walk on campus, you will hear "Hello teacher!" or "Good morning teacher!" and see smiling faces greeting you. They get so excited over small things like playing learning games, which makes it so fun to teach them. I have felt safe and welcomed in my city the entire time. Overall, it has been such a fulfilling experience, and I'm so glad I took the leap and signed up. Also, I can't complain about eating amazing Thai food every night!

I’m currently on the Thailand taster course. TravelGrad made it super easy dealing visa applications and getting you in touch with the local company. Andrew in particular seems like he never sleeps and is always ready to respond to any questions.

Technically you can do all the visa applications yourself but having the peace of mind knowing you’ve got all the documents you need and checked all the right boxes for when you touch down is well worth it. Also just having a first port of call for any issues when you’re out and while you’re getting ready to leave is invaluable for saving yourself time and stress.

After a solid semester abroad I knew I wasn’t wanting to settle or stay in the UK for much longer than I needed to post graduation, I spoke to the guys at Travel Grad and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Throughout the whole process Andrew was so insightful and covered literally everything I possibly could’ve needed to know about working abroad. I was originally wanting to go to Japan however he convinced me Thailand was the place for me. Could not thank Andrew and the others at travel grad for the experience I’ve had, and am incredibly sad at the thought of returning back to the UK. Couldn’t recommend travel grad enough to any future grads who are unsure about what they want to do/need time to think or get out of the UK - they have been so supportive and friendly, always there through the good and bad moments! Thank you guys!

Travel Grad have been super helpful throughout the whole process of applying and moving out to Thailand. Including replying to messages at all hours of the day and night. I had a phone call with Andrew at the start who talked through all the different options and what to expect. Two days later I had signed on to move out to Thailand and I haven't looked back. It was the best decision I've made! The process before moving was made fairly stress free and once you are out here there is so much opportunity to travel and meet lots of people doing the same sort of thing as you. I have been here two and half months so far and its absolutely flown by!

TravelGrad was a great help from the start, as soon as I spoke to them they put me at ease about the entire process. They were a massive help with sorting visas and paperwork and are always available to contact. I didn’t encounter any problems and have now been in Thailand for two months and I am still having a great time. If you sign up to teach abroad with TravelGrad I’m sure you’ll have a great experience.

I have worked with TravelGrad for over a year, and through every step they have been nothing short of helpful and fantastic. They always have clear intentions of helping you achieve your goals and they boast various options to help concur these aspirations. They are very well priced for what they offer you and offer further prizes and competitions while you’re preparing to work, or even when you’re working. They have quickly set me at ease with any scenario and they are a fantastic team and company

TravelGrad makes working overseas super easy and fun. From the word go the amount of support provided is amazing, especially from Andrew who helped make the whole process of moving to Thailand smooth and relaxed. There’s been continued support throughout my placement in Thailand, TravelGrad are always so willing to help where they can. Highly recommend this programme for anyone who is keen to teach abroad and looking for an adventure, it’s been the most experience of my life and it looks great on the CV!
