Our Story
We started as a boutique recruitment agency with a simple belief: every teacher deserves a school where they can thrive, and every school deserves teachers who truly fit their culture.
Connecting exceptional teachers with schools where they'll thrive
International teaching shouldn't be a gamble. Teachers shouldn't arrive at schools that don't match their values. Schools shouldn't invest in hires who leave after one term. We built Totally Teach Match to solve this — using AI to do what our team has done for years, at scale.
