Broadening my reach

Leaving everything I knew in NY to find my way in the world wasn't an easy thing to do all alone. Working with Reach to Teach made it such a painless experience. They set me up with an interview at a great school, which ended up being a job that I took - and kept - for nearly 4 years. I felt so supported by RTT staff every step of the way; if I had a question about the job, my school, the law of the land/culture, or where to get the best hot pot in town ... there was always someone ready to take my call (or email) or hand and set me on the right path. I have heard plenty of horror stories, but one thing that stands out as respects RTT: they're primary purpose isn't to place as many teachers as possible and make as many NT dollars as they can. They want to find the best schools and the best educators and help them find a happy harmony. I truly felt, in all my years of interactions with RTT, that they had both my best interests and the interests of the schools (read: the students) in mind. That makes Reach to Teach different, and better, than the rest.
