A friend of mine who is a teacher suggested me to contact Empowering Learning.

I was a qualified Music teacher in Switzerland but I didn’t have a clue on how to get into teaching here in the UK

Empowering learning helped me first of all by explaining step by step and in details the procedure to get into teaching.

Together we had my qualifications recognised by the NARIC Institute.

Empowering learning helped me in filling the forms to get a Criminal Records Bureau Check.

They also find me a work placement in a lovely school in Lambeth where I had plenty of support.

 I had lots of support by Empowering Learning. All members of staff are friendly and polite; they are always happy to help. They believed in me as a teacher from the beginning and gave me hope and strength while I was looking for a job. They are always in touch to check how things are going and make sure you feel supported. Debbie is lovely; it’s always a pleasure to hear from her and she’s the first person I get in touch with after an interview or if something happens at school.

Empowering Learning’s strength is the atmosphere. There is always a lovely atmosphere. You feel like a person and valued for your qualities as a teacher. It’s very easy to just feel like a number when you join a teaching agency; at Empowering Learning you feel like you’re part of a family.
