Having worked with TJ for a couple of years now. I can never thank him enough for all the opportunities he has presented to me. Any time I needed a role/change he has been there to support and assist in every way possible. He presented me with a range of different roles in various different locations and thus allowing me to choose the role that suited me best. His honesty and willingness to help at all given times has and will always be appreciated. He’s helped me secure my TA and qualified maths teacher role in two different schools. I’m so happy and thriving in my role as a maths teacher and no doubt that I can not thank anyone other than the main man himself TJ. It has been a pleasure to work with you and I am forever grateful
I’ve been working with TJ now for a few months after a couple of mutual contacts put us in touch. His passion to better the education system and to challenge the way some people view education recruitment is infectious. It’s so refreshing to work with someone who’s so excited by what he does and genuinely believes he can make a difference. I certainly believe my working relationship with TJ is just at the beginning and I look forward to what we can achieve to support schools and teachers across the UK.
TJ was a superb agent, second to none. He tirelessly found me a variety of roles and I was able to pick and choose for one that best suited me. On top of that he prepared me for my interview the day before for almost an hour over the phone and as a result I ended up getting the first interview he got for me. He is a great agent and can negotiate the best starting salary for you and your experience as he did for me.
TJ was incredibly efficient at finding out what I wanted and then was quick to get me interviews at schools that suited me. With a job now secured for September I would highly recommend TJ to anyone! Thanks a lot.
TJ completely changed my perceptions of education recruitment agencies. I became aware of Master Class Education through the Institute of Education and was contacted by TJ the next day enquiring about my requirements with regards to my first NQT role. I was impressed by TJ's devotion to finding me a role that I was happy with and offered assistance at every stage of the process (including helping me to make the decision!). I have, and will continue to, recommend TJ to my colleagues, as I have him to thank for securing my first NQT role at an excellent school that ticks all my boxes.
TJ has helped me secure an excellent NQT position for 2016. TJ is a very dedicated educational recruitment consultant. TJ was introduced to me through a referral, as TJ also had helped my friend secure a NQT position in the previous year. Since day one TJ made feel reassured that he will try his best to help me get the most suitable NQT position. Within a couple of weeks of my initial registration with Masterclass, TJ was able to secure two interviews with two "Ofsted Outstanding" schools for me. I accepted the offer from one of these Outstanding schools. During this job hunting period I have worked with some other very good recruitment agents. However, TJ was always the first one in line to help me in every step of the job search process. Ultimately it was because of TJ's dedicated effort I received an excellent offer from this Outstanding school. I would highly recommend TJ to anyone in educational job market. My best wishes to TJ.
