Pros

TeacherActive is by far the best agency I have ever worked for and probably ever will! I never want to work with anyone else!! Samantha Bridge-Watkinson deserves special recognition for her dedication and amazing first class service that she gives on a daily basis! Sammy has been so fantastic in her support she has provided me not only in work bases but also for private matters. I've never known an agency to get back to you during evenings and weekends so this just shows Sammy''s commitment to her role and always wanting you to be happy. You will not be disappointed to work for TeacherActive and become a member of our team!

Cons

There are not any cons at all! I've had the best year working for them! Here's to many more!
