Experience

All of our staff have experience teaching English as a second language. We know the in and outs of working overseas by having done it ourselves.

Integrity

When problems arise while working overseas the world can be a very lonely place. (I know, I’ve been there). Our staff will be there for you throughout the recruiting process. We can assure you, that if any of the schools we deal with are not resolving any and all issues to your satisfaction then they will be immediately removed from our list. We will only work with schools that measure up to our high standards.

Honesty

We promise we won’t sugar coat the truth about a job. If you haven’t been to the Middle East, you’ll be in for a huge culture shock. Food is different. Customs are not the same as in North America. (Remember this is an adventure.) Prior to leaving we’ll discuss this with you and answer all your questions. If we feel this may not be right for you then we will tell you.

How we got here

You’ve never heard of us before as we’re new to the ESL teacher recruitment field. You may of heard of our other English related company that teachers English Online called TalktoCanada.com. Instead of pretending like we’ve placed thousands of teachers and have glowing reviews, we thought we’d just be honest and let you know that we’re new, hungry for new business and excited to get you into the dream teaching job in the middle east.

His Mom describes him as handsome and smart. Everyone else describes him as hardworking, honest and driven. He has a passion for languages and business. He believes that WestTeacher.com is the perfect complement to his first business venture with TalktoCanada.com. His native language is English and he has an intermediate understanding of French and Arabic.
