TravelBud - Teach Abroad Programs
TravelBud has placed over 3,000 teachers in destinations across the world over the past 13 years since its founding in 2012. While the company has grown over the last decade—introducing new team members, teaching destinations, and program inclusions—one core value has remained unchanged: a commitment to meaningful travel.
TravelBud is led by a passionate team, all of whom have firsthand experience teaching abroad. They understand the unique fears and emotions involved in taking the leap to move overseas and strive to provide a holistic approach to a successful teach-abroad experience.
Regardless of destination or program type, all TravelBud programs incorporate key aspects deemed essential for a fulfilling and successful time abroad. The company offers guaranteed job placement at carefully vetted partner schools for those who pass the application process. Its award-winning Support Team assists with all necessary paperwork, including document collection and visas, to ensure a smooth arrival and immigration process.
Highly trained TESOL/TEFL instructors provide comprehensive English teaching training, available through both in-class TESOL courses and online options. In addition to academic preparation, TravelBud ensures that all teachers receive a cultural orientation to help them navigate the complexities and nuances of their new environment.
Recognizing that building connections is an integral part of a cross-cultural exchange, TravelBud supports teachers with meet-ups, workshops, and networking opportunities throughout their time abroad. A dedicated in-country team, consisting of both local and foreign staff, serves as a direct point of contact for teachers—whether for minor queries or real-time emergency support.
Additionally, TravelBud offers the flexibility to move between various destinations at no extra cost after completing an initial contract through its innovative Lifetime Placement Guarantee.
