Testimonials

• “I have worked for Academic Appointments for two years and have always found them a pleasure to work for. The staff have never been too busy to help at the other end of the phone and I have always been pleased with the schools I have taught at. I thank the team for their dedication and without them would not of discovered the permanent full time position I am about to persue. Many Thanks once again.”

Many thanks for your support.”

  Debra | Special Needs Teacher

• “In my two years working for Academic Appointments I have received nothing but a friendly and professional service. Academic Appointments provided me with two long-term placements and two very different working experiences in two very different schools. I like the service Academic Appointments provides. All members of staff are helpful and reassuring and I have always been treated like a professional. I have referred several colleagues to them as I believe they offer work that can accomodate any lifestyle.”

• “Academic Appointments have always been able to meet our very specific needs - even at very short notice. They have worked very hard to know and understand the qualities we require in our staff and consistently supply us with the highest standard of people available.”

  Senior Manager | PRU - Bradford

• “Academic Appointments were efficient and approachable from the word go! The staff are charismatic and knowledgeable and matched me to a wonderful school that genuinely matched my skill-set, experience and personality. The salary they paid was the highest out of the other six private agencies I researched at the time. They regularly updated me on the registration process and after that when considering potential schools to work at. Whenever I had a query of any nature I had a response within a couple of hours so I was never left hanging. Thanks to Dan and his team I received a high rate of pay and subsequently offered a more secure contract than any of my colleagues who qualified at the same time as me. I am unaware of any other agency who provides relevant medium to long-term work so quickly. ”

• “I have just started working with Academic Appointments. I have found them helpful and friendly. They worked hard to get a thorough understanding of my strengths and managed to get me an interview for a post almost straight away, which was successful. The staff communicate well and are keen to make sure that you are put at your ease.”

• “I would recommend to anyone academic appointments for recruitmnet of teachers. Dan has run the recruitment process for my school on several occassions. He has come up with fantastic candidates on each occassion. I have been able to interview as many candidates as I wanted to until I was satisfied I had found the right teacher. He takes an indepth brief of what qualities you are looking for and presents some outstanding candidates. I will continue to use Dan for recruitment.”

• “I am writing to you to express our sincere gratitude for your services with regard to the one to one tuition. As you are aware we found ourselves in an unusual position in which we were granted funding for one to one places that needed to be completed in a matter of weeks. It was such a relief to speak to you and be pointed in the right direction. The decision to trial having the one tutor to deliver to all nine students on a full time basis proved to be more than successful. It is always hard to quantify the progress made by our students as numbers do not accurately portray achievements in comparison to mainstream peers. It is however true to say that students consistently attended sessions and left to return to class confident, with a smile and a calm demeanor. The students were eager to tell us what they had learnt in the sessions and how Mr O’Connor had tailored the sessions to encompass personal interests. Mr O’Conner who was introduced to us through academic appointments was just what we required; he was calm, flexible, unfazed and fitted right in from the offset. Thank you for enabling me to pass the funding and payments on to you. In addition thank you also for helping me to set the timetable and suggesting ways of conducting the sessions and David’s preparation time. It was truly a relief to deal with academic appointments. It permitted our challenging and vulnerable students to have the successful one to one tuition that they deserve. ”

  Manager | Referral Unit

• “Academic Appointments's efficient service provided opportunities for long term supply work over two years that helped me to "re-invent myself" to the extent that I felt confident inthe classroom. Doors opened that lead to a contract overseas and now I have been promoted to a senior leadership post. Thank you Academic Appointments!”
