As we are coming to the end of 2020, we just want to thank everybody for their support this year! We are excited for 2021!

I would like to close 2020's last post with the incredible, Gabrielle who is from America. She's been in Shanghai since December 2019. Thank you for your hard work this year and I wish you all the best! It was my absolute pleasure working with you!

"Moving is stressful, but moving to another country is stress on a whole other level! In the beginning Tomoko interviewed me for a couple of different teaching positions in Asia (Japan and China) after which I accepted a position in China. Throughout the process of obtaining my Visa and moving to China, Tomoko has gone above and beyond to help me through every step (and even still!!). Exceed does not describe the level of support she’s given, even at times when it may have been beyond her scope of practice. And if she didn’t have the answers, she pointed me in the right direction to someone or somewhere that did.

I am BEYOND lucky to have found someone who served as more than a recruiter during my most challenging endeavour yet; moving all the way on the other side of the world. She is genuine in her work, and cares about more than simply connecting people with teaching jobs abroad. She is truly invested into your well-being, and making sure that you are successful on your new journey. Having experience teaching abroad, she understands the cultural, mental and emotional difficulties that you are bound to experience throughout this process. Stepping into the unknown is challenging, scary and just down right frustrating at times, and the empathy she’s shown has a made a WORLD of difference. There is no one better whom I could’ve worked with and I am forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!"

Just a quick Konichiwa message from Tamaki TEFL Recruitment! We hope that you have been staying well. We are delighted to be able to place teachers in country from early 2021.

We are so excited to present teacher Delight (Dee!) who has been in Nagoya since November 2019. We asked Dee how she's felt during the pandemic and how the school has supported her, keeping in line with covid measures. Here is her reply:

“I am happy Tomoko. I was not put at risk and there was lots advice on how we can teach during these tough times. The staff meetings were really helpful. Plus we stayed at home when the pandemic was at the peak. I am happy and I am thankful. Love Japan!”

For April's "Review of the Month", we are excited to present Belinda who is now teaching in Japan. Belinda is from Zimbabwe and has been settling well into her new role!

“My journey to Japan was made smooth and easy thanks to Tomoko at TTR as she had held my hand from day one reassuring me every step of the way. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me with this than her. I have been in Japan for two months now and yet she still takes the time to check up on me. Moving from Africa to Japan was a huge jump for me but I’m grateful Tomoko prepared me for it. I’m super excited to see everything that Japan has to offer if you are planning to move here as an English teacher I highly recommend Tomoko Tamaki! She is a delight - very patient, I had a thousand and one questions and she made sure to answer each and every single one. If going an extra mile was a person it would be her definitely.😊”

Review of the Month for February is now here! We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to recruit the lovely Chante from South Africa, who is now teaching in Xi'An China.

"Last year I felt my life needed a change. I have been a teacher for 3 years and I felt it was time to broaden my horizons and go abroad for the first time. The first time I spoke to Tomoko at TTR, I immediately knew I was talking to the right person to help me with this new journey. She made me feel comfortable and safe, she kept me updated constantly and always answered all my questions with a smile. This made me and my family feel at ease. The whole process of coming to China was easy and I knew what to expect because of Tomoko. I firmly believe the adjustment coming to a new country and culture was not difficult at all because of her and how well she prepared me. Even now, after a month of being in China, she still checks up on me and just the fact of knowing she is there, has helped me settle in with the school and my new way of living. I don't regret one moment of my decision by making use of her recruitment, she is on top of everything and works with you personally. She is just amazing, beyond words. Thank you Tomoko, for always being positive and encouraging and for standing by me every inch of this adventure. You are a star!"

Review of the Month for December is here and with the lovely Eduard from the USA who is now based in Nagoya, Japan! It's been such a pleasure working with you!

"Wanting a change from a corporate setting, I decided to finally pursue my dream of living in Japan. I am so glad that Tomoko decided to give me an interview. She is one of the biggest reasons I chose to work for the company I work for now. Her professionalism is heightened by her warmth and enthusiasm. She gives you all the highlights but is also realistic with the challenges of a new job and living in a new country. She checked in with me every step of the way and still continues to do so. Japan has been an incredible experience and Tomoko at TTR will be the best person to get you here!!"

TTR is excited to present Review of the Month for October! Rusty from America is now based in Japan. This photo is of him with a massive life size Totoro from the Ghibli store!

"Working in Japan has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. About 6 months before I graduated college, I started looking for companies and I found TTR. Tomoko made the recruitment process really easy, simple, and informative and kept in constant contact with me to make sure everything was going well. Even now after I have started working Tomoko still checks up with me regularly to make sure everything is okay. Tomoko has made my dream come true and I couldn't have asked for anyone better."

Going into a new season this month with an amazing teacher Kiah, from South Africa who is now based in Japan. Kiah (on the right) went for a day out in Kamakura!

"My lifelong dream of living and working in Japan has come true thanks to Tomoko! Tomoko is a delightful person and working with her was such a pleasure. She was always incredibly professional and reliable, as well as friendly and kind. She made me feel cared for and was always there when I needed advice and guidance, checking in on me to make sure I was doing fine throughout the entire process. Thanks to her, my move to Japan was as smooth as it could possibly be. I would recommend TTR to anyone thinking about teaching in Asia.
I am living out my dream and having the most incredible experience of my life and I will always be grateful to Tomoko for making that happen!"
