“I have been with Classroom for the last year and they have been excellent in finding
me work. They found me placements close to where I live and in schools that I really
liked. I have been in the same school now since September and I really enjoy the
work. It is challenging but very rewarding. The consultants that found me my placement
are always friendly, helpful and willing to assist in any way they can. I would
and have recommended Classroom to numerous friends and colleagues”. Philippa Robson

“I came to London in February 2004 to work as a Secondary Teacher and I was very
lucky to find an advert of Classroom in the newspaper. I called them straight away.
It was Friday afternoon. They gave me an appointment for an interview on Monday.
They helped me to sort out the paperwork to start working as soon as possible. The
advisors were always professional and warm on the phone and face to face. Soon we
established a flawless working relationship. Even the Manager had time to talk to
me and advise me at anytime!
Classroom offers training to a very good standard on a regular basis and it is free!
At the end of Summer term Classroom invites teachers for drinks in central London.
This is a wonderful opportunity to talk to other teachers and staff in a relaxed
environment. While I was working with Classroom I never felt alone. In the staffroom
of every school I went to, there was always another Classroom teacher to talk to.
Classroom offers the possibility to work when you want and where you want. I wanted
to teach in different schools so they gave me the chance to go to Primary, Secondary
and Special Schools. With Classroom it is possible to get the experience, the confidence
and the skills to be the teacher you want to be. Some people work with several agencies.
I find that stressful! I was always faithful to Classroom and they always gave me
enough work in exchange. When the schools get to know you, they always ask Classroom
to send you back. You just need to let the school know that you had a really nice
day.
Some months ago I visited a school through Classroom and they offered me to stay
permanently. After four years with Classroom as a Supply Teacher I fancied the idea
of staying in one school and getting to know the kids I was teaching. Since then,
I am delighted. Nevertheless, I miss Classroom a lot and I do not doubt that I will
be very welcome if I decide to come back one day. If you are a Teacher in London
looking for the best experience and learning, Classroom is the answer. Enjoy!” Sandra
