I had a really great experience with ANZUK Education NZ and would definitely recommend them to returning overseas teachers looking for teaching opportunities in New Zealand.
As someone returning to New Zealand after quite a few years overseas, I found their support really helpful. The whole process can feel a little overwhelming, but the team was always so friendly, approachable, and happy to answer all my questions, which made everything feel much less stressful.
The ANZUK team helped me filter through jobs that I was qualified for and interested in, without having to go through every vacancy myself. They sent me email updates with potential opportunities and guided me through the interview process and paperwork. They handled everything professionally and saved me hours of time throughout the process. I highly recommend them!
The ANZUK team has been incredibly helpful and has changed my life not just once, but twice, by helping me find amazing teaching opportunities. Gillian, Annalise, and Kirstin have been supportive every step of the way. They have always been approachable, encouraging, and genuinely cared about my journey.
I’m so grateful to the entire ANZUK team because I’ve now achieved my dream teaching job. I couldn’t have done it without their guidance and support. Thank you for believing in me and helping me make it happen!
Relocating to a new country is a journey into the unknown, a venture that can feel as daunting as it is exciting. From the moment I received my job offer to move to Wellington, Annalise and her exceptional team were my guiding compass.
They provided invaluable, step-by-step guidance through every necessary process, transforming a load of requirements into a clear and manageable process. Their support was comprehensive, from coordinating medical examinations and breaking down complex paperwork to advising on the subtle nuances of New Zealand’s legalities.
As a first-time visitor to New Zealand, they walked alongside me, ensuring I felt confident and prepared at every moment. With Annalise’s assistance, what could have been an intimidating leap became a well-supported and successful new beginning.
I had an amazing experience with several members of the ANZUK team in the UK, Australia and, finally, New Zealand. I’m currently now in New Zealand after securing a job that feels aligned to my own beliefs and aspirations and the team at ANZUK have all helped me get to this point.
The process is long and quite painful, and eventually I did have to hire an immigration layer (recommended by Annalise who was also incredible), but I felt supported throughout and able to call on different members of the team at different points.
I definitely recommend working with ANZUK if you’re looking at emigrating as a teacher. Thank you Stana, Zaf and Annalise for everything.
We would like to sincerely thank Anzuk Education for the outstanding support they provided during our move to New Zealand. They made what could have been a stressful and complicated process feel smooth, organised, and manageable from start to finish.
A special thank you to Kirstin, who was absolutely exceptional. She guided us through every step, was always available to answer questions, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything was on track.
What truly stood out was the effort Anzuk put into supporting both of us. They assisted us in securing interviews at schools that were close to one another in the same city, which made a huge difference for our transition and planning as a family.
Their international support team was also fantastic, addressing any concerns promptly and ensuring a seamless transition to New Zealand. The service was professional, efficient, and always responsive, with impressively quick turnaround times.
