**Teachers’ Testimony: Logan and Autumn**
My fiancé and I reached out to Phoenix Group Asia in the Fall of 2023 about a job posting we noticed online.
We corresponded through emails and video calls with the staff over at Phoenix Group Asia in hopes of finding schools that we would both be suitable for.
Phoenix Group Asia managed to find us positions in the same city as well as an apartment between the two schools. Before arriving to Taiwan, we had many questions. However, the staff at Phoenix Group Asia were able to answer our questions via email in a very efficient manner. We were never left wondering, ****which was important to us as this whole process was all very new at the time.
Now that we have become settled in Taiwan, we plan to stay for the foreseeable future. We look forward to continue working with Phoenix Group Asia, and would like to give thanks to all those involved in making the transition from Canada a very ****smooth and enjoyable one. -
**Teacher Ramon’s Testimony**
My name is Ramon Chapa III and I’m from Texas, United States of America. I’ve been with Phoenix Group Asia for 6 years and counting.
I started in Yunlin County. I went to Tainan for three years, now I’m back in Yunlin County at Douliu Junior High. I’ve really enjoyed it there and I will sign again at Douliu Junior High.
Phoenix Group Asia has been there for me during times when I need them, any little problems that I might have, Phoenix Group Asia is there. I can count on them.
I’m thankful to be with them. So, hopefully many more years I can be with Phoenix Group Asia. -
**Teacher Melinda’s Testimony**
Hi, my name is Melinda and I’m from the Philippines.
It’s my second year with Phoenix Group Asia so this is my second contract. Last year I was in Tainan and I taught elementary students there.
So, I wanted to try junior high school and they found me a space here in Yunlin County…
…Phoenix Group Asia, I think, is the best agency there is, because they’re going to help you with everything. Looking for your apartment, and then, if ever you have any problems that you encounter here because you’re not from here, you’re not a local, they really are willing to help you, even if it’s in the middle of the night.
Especially, that’s what I experienced and that’s what other teachers experienced in Tainan. So, I love it.
I love working with Phoenix Group Asia so if the teachers out there, if they want to come here in Taiwan basically to teach English, they should not be reluctant or hesitate to come here with Phoenix Group of Asia. -
**Teacher Patrick’s Testimony**
My name is Patrick Haines, I’ve been in Taiwan for four years now. Over the course of four years, I’ve worked at 11 different schools with small student populations, so classes of about five to ten.
Phoenix Group Asia - they’re extremely helpful with day-to-day life things in Taiwan. So if I need something I always know that I can ask and if they can’t directly provide aid, then they can point me in the direction of someone who can. They’re always responsive, whether it’s with email or with LINE. They’re usually quick about fixing things or stepping in when they’re needed. The thing I think they’ve helped me with the most, I’ve actually moved four times since I arrived in Taiwan and they’re always very helpful about having someone available to help with the moving situation.
I would recommend Phoenix Group Asia to anyone who is coming to Taiwan because you know they’re going to be helpful and experienced and available whenever you need them. -
**Teacher Nosi’s Testimony**
Hello, I am Teacher Nosi and I am from the Kingdom of Eswatini. I came to Taiwan in 2022, and it has been an incredible experience. The people here are friendly and welcoming.
My journey with Phoenix has also been amazing. They have been very supportive, from assisting us with our documents to helping us find apartments.
Even when it comes to health issues, the agency genuinely cares for us. When I first arrived in 2022, I fell ill, and PGA was there every step of the way until I recovered.
This journey has been truly remarkable.😊 -
**Teacher Mercy’s Testimony**
Hi, my name is Ogbu Ogonna Mercy, you can just call me Teacher Mercy. I’m a teacher working with Phoenix Group Asia (PGA). PGA is an amazing agency that recruited me to come teach in Taiwan. Currently, I teach in the Shuitsanlin Elementary School, here in Yunlin. This is an amazing opportunity. I encourage everyone to grab it and look out for PGA. It’s an amazing agency.
They’ll see you through from your job application, your interviews, the recruitment process - they carry you all along - from your VISA process to all the documentation. They carry you along and they treat they’re staff very well. They help you out with the accommodation and whatnot.
So I give them kudos and I ask everyone to look out for PGA.
Teaching in Taiwan has been an amazing journey, from my co-workers to my fellow teachers, it has just been an amazing journey. -
**Teacher Arturo’s Testimony**
Working with Phoenix has been a great opportunity. We're lucky to have an agency communicate clearly and provide help with paperwork and necessities upon arriving in Taiwan. Especially in the areas PGA services, it would take a lot of luck to manage adapting to life here if all the immigration and orientation preparation had to be done on your own.
Phoenix is upfront and timely with information so their support for newcomer is esential.
