Michael Rosecrans – 2009 – Teaching in China

After I graduated from university, I knew that I wanted to move to China. I had a friend teaching in South Korea and he suggested looking into opportunities for English teachers in China. The more I researched, the more questions I had. How does the visa process work? What will my job be like? Should I use a recruiting agency? You can find so many terrible stories on the internet from people who end up in bad teaching positions. So I wanted to make sure I had all the facts to make an informed decision.

I applied to several different companies and I decided to use Reach to Teach. They really impressed me by how they handled the recruiting process. They were professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. All those questions and concerns I had before were addressed. And in the end, the school they set me up with was perfect for me. I could not have hoped for anything better. Even after I had moved to China, they continued to check up on me to make sure that my new employer was meeting all of my expectations.

I learned from my experience that a good recruiting company like Reach to Teach makes the complicated process of finding a good teaching job easy. My greatest concern, like many people, was that I would move to the other side of the world for a terrible job. But Reach to Teach has worked with many of these schools before. So they know which ones will meet your needs and which ones will not. Knowing this, I felt comfortable enough to make a decision. For anyone considering going abroad to teach English, I highly recommend using Reach to Teach.
