WHY TEACH IN NEW ZEALAND? Imagine a place where you can work to the highest professional standards, then in half an hour or less be relaxing on a beach, hiking through beautiful native bush, pounding down a mountain bike track or just chilling with friends in your back garden over a fine New Zealand wine. That’s what you can look forward to when you bring your skills to New Zealand.

New Zealand is the perfect place to work abroad with work/life balance rated 2nd in the world. WELLINGTON
All eight of New Zealand’s universities come in among the top 500 QS World University Rankings for 2015/16 and New Zealand is in the top 20 nations for the quality of their schools. Their unique education system is recognized worldwide with 93,000 international students enrolling annually, so the schools are very diverse and other nationalities are welcomed by the friendly Kiwi and Maori locals. Smaller, less crowded cities and towns makes getting to work easier as there is no crazy traffic and much fewer people on streets (Auckland being an exception) meaning your journey to and from work will not take a chunk out of your day. New Zealand’s temperate climate makes it ideal for outdoor activities all year round so there is plenty to do, see and experience after your working day. As the Kiwi’s are highly protective of nature and the beauty of their country, there are mountains, lakes and rivers, thermal wonderlands, native forests, glaciers and beautiful open areas with magnificent scenery at every turn that will blow you away every day you are there.
