My Experience
Hi, this is Saleha Zainab from Zen Educate. I'm thrilled to share my experience after working with them for a couple of months. Honestly, Zen Educate is the best company I've worked with in this field. Initially, I was hesitant and confused, but the team's incredible energy, calmness, and cooperative spirit immediately put me at ease. They guided me through the entire process, from onboarding to my first day, with exceptional support. I've completed several shifts and thoroughly enjoyed the work. The team is quick to respond, incredibly helpful, patient, and calm. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing with Zen Educate and hope to stay with them for a long time. Thank you, Zen Educate!"

My experience with Zen educate is amazing and there team members are friendly and supportive. Their on bording is easy and quick and they offer you suitable roles and you get experience when you work with different schools.I recommend other teachers to join Zen Educate because they are doing a great job.
I’ve had a very positive experience…
I’ve had a very positive experience working with Zen Educate, and I genuinely feel supported as a teacher through their platform. The process of finding work has been smooth, transparent, and far more personalised than with many other agencies I’ve worked with over the years.
I would especially like to mention Rory Smith, who has been exceptional in handling my affairs. Rory is professional, responsive, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure placements are suitable and that I feel supported at every stage. His communication is clear, timely, and reassuring, which makes a huge difference in what can often be a stressful sector to navigate.
Zen Educate stands out for treating teachers as individuals rather than numbers, and Rory is a real credit to the organisation. I would highly recommend Zen Educate to any teacher looking for a reliable, supportive, and well-run agency.

Look elsewhere for work!
I did supply work with Zen for a few weeks before I deleted my account because I found they paid less than other agencies do. Communication through Zen was also poor. I went into a school and was faced with an extremely challenging class. Reception and staff at the school thought I’d been briefed, but I hadn’t. I felt unprepared and thrown to the wolves. For these reasons, I wouldn’t work with Zen again.

Impressive staff- always do what they say they will- following things through and have been fantastic at securing me work.
Great app
Really good app which makes it easy to sign up for or decline supply dates. Lots of good communication. They have some great training which is easily accessible.
I was given a day rate without discussing it with anybody, which was disappointing because I am a very experienced teacher. There should be an initial discussion about pay during the onboarding process.
Zen Education
Zen Education is an excellent agency with strong partnerships across many schools. Their service is professional, efficient, and very supportive throughout the whole process.
