ABOUT

With so much unreliable information out there in the international teacher and leadership recruitment sector, it can feel overwhelming at times — not knowing where to look or who to believe. One of the reasons that we built Teachola was to counteract that and provide solid, reliable support for international teachers across multiple regions.

How we work

We talk to you as a person

Everyone has specific requirements based on their own preferences. We focus heavily on that personalised approach, because it is what is sorely lacking in this industry.

We get to know you first

We make a real effort to understand your preferences through a combination of effective profiling, high level AI integration, regular communication, weekly webinars and workshops and much more. This way, we can effectively and efficiently match you with positions that genuinely suit you.

Communication is the core of it

We keep in regular contact from the very start of your application right through to the end of your teaching contract — not just until you sign.

We stay close to the schools

Weekly management meetings and regular campus visits keep us close to our partner schools, some of whom we have worked with for over 15 years.

We’ve done it ourselves

Most of our international team have lived and taught internationally, whether it’s in Asia, the Middle East or Europe, we know first-hand what an amazing experience it can be. Each of us came away stronger, with more insight into who we are and a far greater understanding of a fascinating part of the world. We did it, and we loved it.

We are also aware of the stresses of daily life as an expat. Most are small, but they build up. Teachola exists to minimise those stress points so that your time abroad is as enjoyable as it should be.

Our mission

To support the international teacher community throughout multiple regions by providing the widest selection of quality-guaranteed teaching jobs — combined with our focus on supporting expat communities and helping teachers upskill and improve their career prospects.
