overseas teachers
If you're new to the UK, it might comfort you to know, we once were too. Trust Education are part Australian-owned, and we've also got many former teachers among our staff. We can use our previous experiences of settling into London and teaching to make yours less overwhelming.

Communication is our key – after a face-to-face interview, Trust offer all our registered teachers; a contactable expert in your sector, relevant training, an open invitation to use our in-house facilities and resources - and even a social life.

Accommodation
Finding somewhere to stay, in London can be daunting. At Trust, we often hear about fellow teachers seeking housemates. And if we can't help directly, hopefully the links to your right can.

Banking
Trust Education are 100% honest over pay, which we deliver promptly each and every week. To simplify the process, we've got a fast-track service with one of the world’s biggest banks. As soon as new teachers have been accepted on to our books we can open them up a bank account.

We do remain impartial. And we don't receive any commission for this.
