What teachers say

Follow an Impact teacher as she navigates through her day to get an inside look on what teaching in the UK is all about!

"Opportunities to travel have been amazing! The school year is broken up so there is at least one week off every six to seven weeks. This is great! I have a permanent position at one school, and I hear great things about supply work. I am making good money, and have lots of time to travel. Impact Teachers was very helpful when I first arrived. They met me at the airport, had computers for me to use, and had an address that I could use when registering with a bank."

"Impact Teachers are very good. They are in constant contact with me and have answered all my emails virtually immediately. They have also been very helpful with getting me settled in the U.K for example, answering questions in regards to services and sending someone to pick me up at the airport. They also helped me get my national insurance number."

"Travelling to Europe is definitely a bonus! It's so nice to be able to say, "I'm going to go Paris for the weekend" or something along that line. The people at Impact Teachers are super friendly. I really like Kent, there are some really nice walks here. It is definitely a challenge coming to a new country and getting used to the new system. Things do get better! I feel that these months are so much easier than the starting months!"

"I really enjoyed the job I got through Impact. They did an excellent job of matching me to an appropriate job. I was involved with a number of agencies who tried to pressure me into taking jobs that weren't really appropriate; I felt like Impact Teachers actually had my best interests at the forefront. "

"My trip to Uganda was inspiring both as a traveller and a teacher. It was empowering to be able to watch the teachers apply some of the concepts introduced and the positive changes it made in both the student's attitude towards learning and enhancing the teacher's confidence in their abilities. I have taken home a greater appreciation for the impact we as teachers can have on education when given the opportunity to work collaboratively towards a common goal."
