Will Teach-USA apply to schools for me? 

No, all applicants will apply online using our proprietary database or trailblaze with other school districts if they want. But yes, you will apply on your own. Although some districts request Teach-USA teacher information, most US school districts have an online system teachers can use.

Will Teach-USA find schools for me? 

We provide our members our proprietary database with Teach-USA presence across US states. We also allow teachers to explore schools independently through our trailblazing process.

Will Teach-USA connect me to job interviews? 

It depends, some school districts request our database of teachers, and they choose from the list, but some want 100% control over who they want to interview.

Will Teach-USA give me a visa sponsor to help process my documents? 

Yes, Teach-USA has accredited J1 visa sponsor partners that assist with sponsorships. Some teachers can choose to join other sponsors independently as well.

Yes, we call trailblazing in Teach-USA. And yes, you pay in full, as stated in the legal agreement with Teach-USA. 

Do I pay the full Teach-USA service fee even if another sponsor assists me with my visa sponsorship and not through Teach-USA visa sponsor-partners? 

You are free to get assistance from other sponsors that are not our partners. But, as stated in Teach-USA's legal agreement, you will pay us regardless if you get help from other sponsors that are not our partners.

Do I pay Teach-USA for relocation services? 

Relocation services are an optional service with Teach-USA. We provide transitional guidance and support in the program.

I have a degree in secondary education, but my teaching experience is not in elementary education. Would I qualify to get this license? 

Your US teaching license is based on your educational background. Yes, school districts will account for all your related experiences (to your salary), but you can only apply based on your qualifying license.

Do you guarantee success in Teach-USA programs?

Teach-USA programs do not guarantee job interviews, job offers, or J1/H-1B visa offers and approvals. We also do not guarantee a US visa stamp on your passport. 

Teach-USA believes everything is God willing. We only do our best and allow God to do the rest. If you give your 100% in your Teach-USA journey, know that change can happen, and there's a significant probability that you will never be the same again.

Do you offer refunds?
