⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviews from Our Educators:

“TP have been great. I’ve had long bookings since September and regular offers via the app, which is super convenient. Others I’ve spoken to have had more work since switching to TP too. They were also really supportive when I was unwell — even though I hadn’t worked with them for long. Caring and efficient sums them up!”

“My experience with Teaching Personnel has been wonderful — the best I’ve had with any agency. The team was quick, professional, and supportive. I was offered a role the day after my paperwork was completed. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone looking for teaching work!”
