Ever dreamt of packing your bags, boarding a flight, and starting fresh in a country where your mornings begin with birdsong and your weekends are spent exploring mountains, beaches, and bushwalks? That’s exactly what Sam did and spoiler alert it was one of the best decisions they’ve ever made.
Let’s rewind a little…
Sam first heard about Prospero through a friend. Like many of us, they’d always wanted to travel to New Zealand. But this wasn’t just a holiday it was a real chance to kick-start a teaching career in a place that had always felt a little magical.
Enter: Megan and Billie, two of our education consultants who helped make that dream a reality.
“They were so supportive from day one. They listened to what I wanted schools, locations, year levels—and actually delivered. I felt informed, encouraged, and backed the entire time.”
Sam wanted their own classroom. Not just any job something meaningful and aligned with how they wanted to grow as a teacher. And that’s exactly what they got.
“My new job is a great fit. I’m working in a collaborative learning environment with my own class. It’s the perfect place to start my teaching career.”
And when we asked what their favourite part of the new workplace was?
“Definitely the people. It’s such a collaborative team. As a young teacher, I’ve learnt so much already just from being surrounded by experienced educators.”
Now let’s talk relocation—because we know that moving countries sounds exciting and terrifying. But for Sam, it was smooth sailing.
“The team supported me through everything visa applications, settling in, finding a great place to live. I never felt like I was doing it alone.”
Short answer: yes.
Sam dove into life in New Zealand with curiosity and openness. The result? Growth, both personally and professionally.
“One of the best parts is being in a unique educational setting. The people here are incredibly friendly, and I’ve already learnt so much about different ways of teaching and learning.”
If you’ve been toying with the idea of teaching abroad, Sam’s advice is simple:
“Do it. Prospero helped me find a role that genuinely suited me, and I’ve gained so much. Moving to New Zealand has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
