Swift Education, Best Teachers for Schools across London & Surrey

“Had a great experience with Swift Education. Really appreciate their warm and professional manner. They get in touch to communicate about the job, and provide support when needed, but are not hounding you like other agencies. They have set me up with a great school, and I'm really happy to have worked with them.”

— Nicola for New Zealand, August 2025
