"I like the personable staff, and the fact that Victoria has taught with Classroom before, and could give me a realistic idea of what it would be like teaching in London as a supply teacher. The staff here in London are great, and are very accommodating to your needs and desires." Alison Tishenko, Victoria, Canada |

"Out of the 10 interviews with different districts in BC, a few international schools/agencies, I found Classroom to best meet my ideals for working after graduation. I really wanted to travel before I got too comfortable; Classroom, and more specifically, Victoria Westcott, made it very evident that they took great care in helping teachers find their strengths while also providing a diverse range of teaching opportunities.
On a personal level the agency seems to genuinely care about my well-being, which is simply lovely when you're experiencing new things in crazy London!"
Marijka Westbroek, Victoria, Canada |

"I look back on my time in London as one of the best times of my life. I have never felt so appreciative as a teacher and so successful in a career. I miss the traveling and all of the friends I made. Living in London made me a much more well rounded person.
It also made me realize that I need to see more of the world. My fiance and I are currently planning a trip to South Africa in December. I also can't wait to plan a trip to go back to London to visit the Classroom staff and my wonderful friends."
Krissy Redekop, Niagara-on-the-lake, Canada |

"I feel that Classroom Canada is great for me because the consultants are always there to help. They have taken the time to get to know me, and place me in schools they think will be suited to my strengths."
Kelly Roth, London, Ontario, Canada |

"I like being able to talk to the same people every time I call Classroom. Even when I was just researching other agencies and asking questions, I talked to a new voice every time I called and received a different name at the bottom of every email response! I really feel like the Classroom staff know me and my strengths, and that's really great when it comes to Classroom finding you a long term position that really suits your skills as a teacher."
Kiran Sohi, Toronto, Canada |

The main reason I chose Classroom Canada was that they were so personal and approachable. Before making a life altering decision, I did quite a bit of research and found that Classroom was very supportive and was always willing to go out of their way to help and provide useful information. Furthermore, it was very beneficial to speak one on one with a fellow Canadian who did the transition years earlier. It is always nice to hear real stories from the actual person rather than read about it. Also, it is nice to have someone who understands the fear and frustrations that come along with moving across the pond!"
Nathalie Greenshields, Montreal, Canada |

"I remained with Classroom because when it came down to it, they never once disappointed me. It is the last week of school and I am still working 5 days a week. They have become my London family. They took the time to get to know me and have also created a great network of international teachers."
Jenn Jones, North Bay, Canada |

"Making the decision to live and teach in London was both incredibly exciting and overwhelming. Throughout the entire process of preparing for the move, Classroom Canada was truly helpful and supportive. I had many questions, concerns and curiosities and Classroom was always ready and willing to answer my questions, explore my concerns and provide insight into my curiosities. This agency is professional but more importantly friendly and genuinely committed to helping make your London teaching experience a positive and memorable one. Without such phenomenal support and guidance, I would not be as confident, prepared and ambitious as I am."

| "Classroom Canada has given me a wealth of knowledge, not only on the skills I need to bring to the classroom, but to prosper in chaotic London itself. Because of the wonderful and patient staff in Canada, I was able to arrive with a couple of tricks under my belt, and haven`t for a moment regretted the decision to move here. The support didn`t end once I arrived into the capable hands of the London office either and having that familiar person as a resource was something I really appreciated and took advantage of. The best move when preparing yourself for an adventure like this is to choose people to work with that are going to be reliable enablers of your endeavours, which is what I received from my relationship with the Classroom Team, especially the Canadian branch that started the ball rolling for me."

"It has been great working with Classroom’s, friendly and caring staff! Working with their schools has also been a great experience!"

"I can say nothing but good of Classroom. After ten years living and working abroad, I decided to register with some supply teaching agencies when I moved back to the UK this April. Although Classroom was the third agency I contacted (having then had no response from the others), it was far and away the best in terms of its friendly professional service, and efficiency in finding me work. Your PR has been second to none, a mega thank-you to Ben and Michelle in the Special Needs Section for your positive and competent help. You have been really great, and I shan't hesitate to recommend you and 'Classroom' further afield, nor to approach you again if I need to."
Anne Webster, British |

"Arriving in London and starting work was a very smooth process – thanks to Classroom. Knowing I had employment here ready and waiting for me took one stress, one concern out of the move to London.
Classroom provides the perfect service - everyone is warm and caring, they look out for your specific needs and always get you results. Everything I have asked for they have worked to provide for, in a professional, caring manner. I recommend them to all my friends.
Classroom has given me everything I could ask for out of supply teaching in London - a wide choice of schools, assistance and advice on anything I wanted to know, tailored and perfect fitting solutions for all my requests and a feeling that they are looking out for me."

"My name is Sandra and I have been working with Classroom for three years now. When I came to London from Spain I did not know anything about London schools. Classroom told me everything I needed to know. I go to different schools everyday. I feel proud of being a Supply Teacher for Classroom. It is the most exciting job in the world. You have nothing to lose and everything to win.
You get to meet so many people; you talk to so many kids from every corner of the world, and the most important thing is that you don´t stop learning. You feel you are doing an important work and they pay you for it!
You gain confidence in yourself and in what you do. For me it is not a temporary job. For me it is a lifestyle. I just love it!"

“Working
with young people in London, whether special needs
or mainstream has been challenging and demanding but
everyday is varied and extraordinary. The young people
I have come to work with here at the Pupil Referral
Unit constantly keep me on my toes. Classroom has
been supportive, reliable, flexible and always make
you feel that their teachers are as important to them
as their schools.”
Clare Walsh, British |

“Classroom
is fantastic. When I started supply teaching, I signed
up with four agencies, but soon dropped the other
three when it became apparent that Classroom was the
only one to combine great staff, reliable placement
and good pay. The people at Classroom truly care about
you: they sympathize, listen to your needs and are
always on the lookout for positions they think you'd
like. If it wasn't for them, my teaching days would
be a whole lot harder.”
David Blender, American |

“Classroom
are great. They tell you something because they're
going to do it, not because it's what you want to
hear. The first agency that I've dealt with that works
efficiently and effectively. Thank you Classroom.”
Toni Vink, New Zealander |

“Classroom
helped me to develop my professional teaching skills
and I gained a lot of confidence in the teaching profession.
I highly recommend them for anyone that wants to teach
in the UK.”

| “Congratulations to all the staff of Classroom,
especially to Jessica and Jenna for their hard and
efficient work. They really take care of your career
and guide you. They are supportive and so friendly.
I was glad to receive greeting texts for my birthday!
I will definitely carry on recommending you to teachers
looking for an agency.”
Thierry Jolan, French |

“Thanks
to Classroom, I've broadened my experience in a variety
of schools here in London. My experiences make me
feel like a James Bond in the classroom. Each school
is like a new mission and all the details provided
by Classroom have always been useful. People at Classroom
always take the time to check on me, on how things
are going in the schools and they always give good
advice.”
Gael Sauvajon, French |

"Classroom
make a real effort to match jobs to individual teachers.
They can and do offer useful advice and welcome support
to their teachers too, so you never feel you are on
your own."
