Teach English Global is a TEFL recruitment agency founded by teachers, for teachers.

We help educators secure rewarding teaching opportunities across China through a trusted network of partner schools. While China is our main focus, we also offer positions in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Vietnam for those keen to explore other destinations.

Since 2020, we’ve helped hundreds of teachers find opportunities abroad.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a newly certified TEFL teacher, or an experienced educator, we guide you through the entire process, from your initial application to securing a position with a school that matches your preferences.

Teacher Max

“TEG are the only recruitment agency I would recommend if you are considering moving to China! I had quite a unique teaching CV and I also had a bit of life admin to take care of before moving to China, but this was no problem for them and they helped me secure a teaching position with a school in Shanghai very quickly. I received constant (and reassuring) help all the way through the process and anything that may have been on my mind was answered swiftly and professionally. I can’t thank TEG enough for placing me at my current school in Shanghai, and thanks to them I’m very excited about my future in China!”

“Teach English Global are a fantastic company to use if you’re looking for a teaching job in China. Since I’d never spent any time in Asia or lived abroad before, moving to China seemed like an immense challenge for me. I had just graduated from college when I first reached out to Dan at TEG, and I didn’t have much teaching experience. This wasn’t an issue though, as he was able to quickly find me a great opportunity in Shanghai that matched my needs perfectly! Dan answered any questions I had about teaching in China, guided me through the interview process and helped me throughout the entire visa process. I know for sure that I wouldn’t have been able to make this move without Dan’s help and support, so thank you Dan and Teach English Global for making a dream of mine become a reality!”

“From start to finish, working with Dan at TEG was an absolute pleasure! Dan encouraged me to apply for a role I hadn’t previously considered, which has helped me advance my teaching career and opened up an exciting new opportunity in Beijing. Dan was always on hand to help me with the paperwork required for entry into China and kept me on track throughout the visa process. His guidance and professionalism were received gratefully during a very challenging few months, and I’m thankful for his invaluable assistance in getting me to China!”

“I contacted Teach English Global after arriving in Shanghai and deciding I would like to teach English. I was quite nervous since I had never taught in a school setting before, but Dan told me what to expect and encouraged me that I would make a great teacher. The process moved quickly and Dan was helpful with every step. He found me a well-suited position with a beautiful school that I love! I’m not sure I would have taken the leap to teach in China if it wasn’t for Dan’s guidance and encouragement. I highly recommend Teach English Global!”

“When I first spoke to Dan at Teach English Global I was fresh out of my TEFL course with no real teaching experience and no idea how to find work in a foreign country. I first spoke to Dan on a Monday morning and had a job offer in hand literally one week later on the following Monday. Four months after my first communication with Dan I had an excellent job teaching in Shenzhen. Dan helped me through the visa process, helped me arrange my flight, and talked me through the first few weeks in China. I would not be where I am today without his help.”

“When I first looked at getting a job in China, it seemed like a very distant possibility. Fortunately, I had Dan to help me along every step of the way. He negotiated on my behalf with the school, even managing to get me a higher salary than I had expected. He then helped me through every subsequent stage of getting my new job, as well as every stage of the visa application process. He also helped me find my flight to China, and then prepped me on what to expect when I arrived. I now have my visa, my job, and have arrived in China ready to start my new life! Thank you, Dan!”

5. Job Offer & Acceptance

If you’re successful during the interview stage, then you’ll be made an offer by the school! We’ll read over your contract with you, help you negotiate anything you’re not happy with, and make sure you’re fully content before you officially accept the offer.

6. Visa & On-Boarding

Finally, we’ll guide you through the entire visa process, and be there to answer any questions you may have before flying out. We’ll also be on hand to help when you first arrive in China, ensuring your first couple of months in the country go as planned.
