Testimonials from teachers working abroad

The anzuk social gatherings are definitely a must, my whole friendship group I have developed over here is made up of anzuk teachers which I met through events. Teaching in London is an adventure you'll always regret if you don't give it a go. I have surprised myself with how much I have grown not only as a teacher but as a person. - Hayley

At first I thought it was too good to be true. A whole company devoted to helping teachers find placements? It felt really natural speaking to my consultant. I could tell you guys make a real effort in trying to get the right educator in the right classroom, and I would definetly recommend Scoot to anyone. - Emma

I came over wanting to do day-to-day supply and ended up taking a long-term position in a secondary school that has been extremely supportive. Just recently, I obtained sponsorship from my school to remain teaching in the U.K. so that I can continue my adventure.- Liana
