Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I register with Teachanywhere? Can't I just
find a job on my own?
By registering once with Teachanywhere, teachers interested
in working abroad avoid the hassle of filling out applications
for each and every job for which they would like to be
considered. In addition, they have access to 'inside
information' to increase their chances of landing their dream
job abroad such as "what kind of experience is required?",
"does it matter if I have entered teaching through an
alternative programme?" and "what qualities do I have that this
school is looking for?". Similarly, we will present the schools
of your choice with a completed package including references
and screening details, which will show how you are suited to
the job and school at hand. We will be your advocate, working
on your behalf.
We work with you to determine the best match for your needs.
The world is a big place and the variation between two schools
in the same area can be quite large. By understanding you as a
person, your requirements, your dreams and your personal
circumstances, we can recommend positions and regions that you
might not have considered. We have successfully placed hundreds
of teachers around the world and continually gather information
about the schools and regions for the sole purpose of better
informing and matching candidates.
And because our services are free to teachers, you have
nothing to lose!
Is there a fee to register?
No, there is never any fee or commission to teachers. As
part of our registration process we require documentation such
as a police check or criminal record check which may need to be
procured by the teacher at their own expense. Fees for police
checks vary by country, and your Teachanywhere consultant can
advise you on how to procure one, if you do not already have a
recent check.
Is there an obligation to use your services if I
register?
No, there is no obligation. However, we ask that teachers
who apply directly to schools keep us informed of their
applications so that we do not duplicate effort. Note that if a
teacher has applied directly to a school not using our
services, we cannot advocate on their behalf with that
school.
Why do you ask for personal information such as my date
of birth and marital status?
We must abide by the requirements of each country in which
we place and these requirements are often different than the
country in which you are living. For instance, in some regions
of the Middle East, work permits will not be issued if a
teacher is more than 60 years of age. In some countries,
unmarried partners are not legally able to co-habitate. By
sharing your information with the Teachanywhere team
confidentially, we will be able to match you appropriately and
explain why certain regions might be more suitable than
others.
How safe is my information?
We conform to the UK's Data Protection regulations, which
are some of the most stringent in the world. We will never
provide your information to anyone but hiring schools without
your explicit permission. You can opt out of job alerts and
manage your profile and contact information online through our
secure registration. We take your data very seriously!
