The Footprints Experience:

Footprints Offices - Find out where to go.

Footprints has been placing teachers since 2001. We are the largest independent ESL teacher placement agency in the world and we are proud of what we do. Our clients include private language schools and public entities in Asia, South America and Africa.

We are often asked by media and teachers why a potential teacher should consider using a recruiter. Why not?

We have access to some of the best teaching jobs and we support our teachers. Can you get the same jobs on your own? Yes and no. Some jobs are exclusively offered through Footprints.

Even if you could do it on your own, why would you. If you go with Footprints we support you. You become part of the Footprints community and you have access to events, lessons, alumni opportunities and assistance you wouldn't otherwise have.

If you teach English abroad with Footprints and you successfully finish your contract you then have access to our alumni teaching opportunities. These opportunities include teaching jobs in Costa Rica, Indonesia, Oman, Turkey and numerous other countries.

Why do it on your own when you can have access to our support, resources and knowledge FOR FREE.

That's right our services and commitment to teachers are completely free.

Where's the catch? We get that all the time. There is no catch. We get paid by the schools to introduce you to them. This does not affect your salary and there are no hidden fees to you. It's simple. Join the fastest growing group of teachers in the world. Become a Footprints teacher today.

We are hiring ESL teachers every month. Start your adventure with Footprints. Whether this is a year escape or a career choice, we have many different types of jobs for all backgrounds and experience levels.

Did you know that medical insurance is often a contract requirement in Korea, Taiwan and other countries?

Did you also know that local national medical insurance does not start until you get your Alien Residence Card?

In an effort to make sure our teachers have all the coverage they need we have negotiated with three ex-pat medical insurance companies to get our teachers access to the emergency medical coverage they need when overseas.

Did you also know that travel insurance will not work for you?

In most cases if the insuring agent finds out that you were actually working abroad, your travel insurance will be null and void. It takes special ex-pat medical coverage to be covered while living and working overseas.

Do you know what to pack and how to prepare before you teach overseas?

Our 80 page Pre-Departure Orientation Kit given to all teachers prior to going overseas helps get you ready before you go.

What about inoculations?

We provide up-to-date information about what's required and what's recommended so you can be sure to get the shots you need.

What about sending money home and bank accounts here or there? What do I do?

Our Placement Coordinators and our Recruiting Department Representatives are all experienced ESL teachers. They have ALL done this before. They can provide you with the information you need to make the transition abroad as simple and enjoyable as possible.

There's more, there's always more. Hopefully we can work with you and you can experience the benefit of Footprints and all our experience.
