I was lucky to be placed in a grammar school just west of London and look on the challenge just four weeks after completing my Graduate Diploma of Education. Vision for Education were very supportive, especially with with curriculum and behaviour management strategies. I found the British national curriculum to be very Similar to the Australian system and the school provided me with lots of professional development.

My wife and I enjoyed having Europe on our doorstep and a highlight for me was standing on the Champs Elysees in Paris watching Lance Armstrong win his seventh and final Tour de France. Since returning to Australia it became very clear that school’s here value professional experience in the UK, and I was lucky to be offered a great position in an independent school on the Far North Coast of NSW. I highly recommend teaching in the UK. It will change your life!

Teaching and traveling in the UK had always been a goal of mine, and after registering with Vision For Education it seemed easily achievable. I felt really supported from day one and my Career Manager took the time to get to know what kind of a teacher I was and what environment would suit me best. I had previously taught in a range of school’s in Sydney and Newcastle and those experiences helped my transition into my position in Cambridge. I was able to establish good relationships with my students and I think being from overseas helped, as I had new skills and experiences to offer them in and outside of the classroom. There are so many positives for teaching in the UK including the location, Career development and the ease of travel to Europe. Everything is at your door step!
