Teacher Testimonials

"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".   

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.

"I've loved the different placements found for me through Horizon, ranging from day to day and one long term placement. Louise and Paul are fantastic consultants! They really took time to tune into the type of supply roles that I was looking for. As a result I have been supported to develop and reflect upon my teaching practice through opportunities in interesting settings. Doing supply this year has been a fantastic experience."

"Moving to London from Australia was a move that I thought would be difficult, however, with the help of Horizon Teachers I was able to make a seamless transition into the English education system. I was in constant contact with the staff at Horizon, who made sure to keep me updated with everything that was going on and give me helpful tips. The team are great and I never had to worry about work, as I was always being offered different opportunities with great pay rates. I worked with a number of outstanding schools, and with the support of Horizon, was able to land myself a permanent position for the rest of the year. It has been a great experience working with Horizon Teachers, and I could not recommend them highly enough!"

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

"Horizon Teachers work hard and try their best to place you on suitable assignments. There is a genuine sense that they care about your welfare."

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

"An absolute pleasure to work with."

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.
