Teacher Testimonials

Daryl at Horizon has been so supportive in my transistion back into teaching after nearly 2 years. He has been extremely helpful and patient explaining everything from opportunities through to how my pay works. He has also been extremely understanding when I have had to keep changing my availability and any restrictions on my travel or hours I can work. It alleviates any potential stress when it feels like someone will genuinely listen to what you are looking for.  I have found all at Horizon polite and welcoming and I would recomend this agency for whatever area of teaching you are wishing to be in. 

"I felt reassured that I had the advice of someone professional and helpful [...] friendly approachability, combined with sound understanding of requirements [...] I was also pleased that your support continued when I was working in the post you had found for me."

"Horizon Teachers truly listened to my career requirements, giving expert  advice and offering highly suitable job opportunities. Using their broad portfolio of schools, they enabled me to find a happy and fulfilling working environment. Thanks!"

"My experience of working with Tom at Horizon Teachers has been extremely positive. Applying for a role outside of my hometown was initially daunting as I had no knowledge of local school reputations; however, his expertise during our initial contact helped me to clarify in my mind exactly what it was I was looking for. Tom sent me details of a school that was well suited to my criteria, and shortly after putting me forwards I was invited to interview. Before the interview, Tom ensured I had all the information necessary to give it my best and we had a brief, informal meeting which put me at ease. Afterwards, I was thrilled to find out I had been successful. Throughout this process, I have been pleasantly surprised by the lack of onerous form filling - Tom has handled everything seamlessly (including references) with minimal input from myself. All in all, my job search progressed far quicker than I could have hoped working alone. I am excited and eternally grateful that I will be starting work in a school that is well suited to me. I cannot recommend Tom and Horizon Teachers enough".   

"For the last year I have enjoyed working for Horizon Teachers.

Horizon Teachers have provided some great placements, whether it's been long-term or short, at schools and early year centres across London. I recommend Horizon Teachers, as it offers some great work at a good rate, flexible to your own needs and obligations.

Obviously the more you can work, the better off you'll be, and when you do a good job, you're more likely to be asked back. Which does great for the confidence boost!"

I think Horizon Teachers are friendly, approachable and efficient. There seems to be a good rapport between colleagues. I didn't have to wait long to get my first assignment and the follow-up afterwards has been great.

“Horizon Teachers are friendly and supportive, not too pushy but encouraging.”

I worked as a Teaching Assistant through Horizon Teachers for six months. They were incredibly professional and friendly from day one, taking the time to get to know my aspirations and finding me a job very quickly. During my time as a TA, they were always very supportive - my contact would regularly be in touch to check how things were going. I am very pleased with my time with them and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Darsha found me the perfect teaching assignment to complement my studies. She listened carefully to what I needed; was highly supportive and adept at matching my skills to the right job. She also encouraged me to access high quality training at Horizon and offered specialist advice for a smooth transition from mainstream to SEN.

“Gloria's (and Horizon's) support has been ever-present and useful. When I have asked for help they have been willing and able.”
