I have a strong working relationship with my Account Manager. Tom always effectively communicates with me, which has allowed me to gain regular work.  The opportunity to work in local schools has reduced travel time. Tom is flexible and accommodates days that I may need off. I would highly recommend New Directions Education.

Time flies so fast… 3 years going through and I believe more good years still to come with New Directions. It’s a great company which I’m glad to be a part of. The thing I appreciate most about the company is that it has given me the opportunity to balance work and life. It has a strong, intelligent and friendly team and the best manager I could ever have, supplying support and lots of work. Training is excellent too. I would like to thank Michelle and everyone who has contributed in any way!
