My experience was not good
My experience was not good. Wasted my time inviting me into their Birmingham office for absolutely nothing they couldn't have done on the phone or online. Low rates of pay and taking hardly any time to consider qualifications and experience. Despite taking time out of my day to travel into Birmingham (at my own expense) was told they could not copy my documents due to "IT" issues and had no consultants who were available to talk to me as they were all busy. Rubbish.

I have had a fantastic experience with TeacherActive. As an agency, they truly prioritise their candidates' needs and well-being. Melissa Riddle, my consultant, has been incredibly supportive throughout my journey with them. One thing I particularly appreciate is their consistent communication – they reach out to me weekly to inquire about my availability, ensuring that I am always up to date with potential opportunities. Moreover, their commitment to prompt payment is commendable; I receive my payments without any delay every week. Overall, TeacherActive is a reliable and caring agency that I highly recommend to anyone looking for teaching opportunities.

Glad that I quit it!
Sharing my experience at Teacher Active was the worst; the manager shows no concern for your actions, well-being, or feelings. The focus is solely on completing the work, and beyond that, there's a lack of care or support. I am glad that I quit it! Even after I quit it , she didn’t even care again. It’s like you don’t matter at all ! Only the work !

I have worked for teacheractive for the last three years and have had regular employment throughout. It has been a brilliant experience with plenty of opportunities to improve my teaching practise. Luke Beastall was always available on the phone if I needed help and made sure that I had engaging work.
