A Better Way To Find a Teaching Position WITHOUT PAYING A RECRUITER j1teachers.com was created to allow foreign J-1 teachers and U.S. school the opportunity to find each other without the help of recruiters. Many J-1 teachers feel forced to use recruiters to find a teaching opportunity in the U.S. Unfortunately, recruiters charge high placement fees, often in the thousands of dollars. The resulting financial burden on the J-1 teacher continues after they arrive in the U.S. This site provides an alternative and allows teachers and school to find each other without the use of an intermediary.
