"...Chatteris offer support from the moment you arrive in Hong Kong and that support remains apparent throughout your time with the company. Chatteris also allows Hong Kong newbies to have a pre-existing social circle of 70+ fellow new teachers.
I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Chatteris and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of moving abroad to teach! "

"Just say yes to everything and anything. This way you will get a multitude of experiences, some that I never would have dreamed of before coming to Hong Kong. When in school give it your all and think outside the box. The benefits are clear to see if you do"
