Our mission is to inform both veteran and aspiring international educators about working overseas - What it’s like and how it's changing, Where to find more information, Why "going global" is so attractive and How and When to work through the recruiting process. We do this via targeted episodes where we give informational interviews as well as sharing personal vignettes related to all aspects of international education. We work to tell the full story so you are really in the know about international schools. We invite you to travel, teach and connect with us!© 2026 Educators Going Global 社会科学

    105. Short-Term International Subbing Demystified: A Chat With Nadine Tyro of True Teaching's Flying Squad
    2026/05/22
    Text us with topic or guest suggestions!How cool would it be to be able to hop around the world doing stints as a sub? To get a taste of a school/city/country without the longer-term commitment? To travel light and scratch that itch for adventure? These are some of the aspects of international substitute teaching that have long appealed to me. However, we’ve learned through interviewing Nadine Tyro of the True Teaching Flying Squad that the process is not as straightforward as I may once have thought.True Teaching was born from Nadine’s lifetime (40+ years) of international education experience, gained while living and working across the Pacific, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. This venture allows her to stay connected with the international school sector and use her deep knowledge to help new educators navigate the complex smorgasbord of global education offerings.As a New Zealander, Nadine began her journey teaching K-6 students at Kerevat International School in Papua New Guinea in the 1980s. Her international career then took her to Jakarta Intercultural School in Indonesia and Vienna International School in Austria.A major highlight was serving as the Founding Director of Concordia International School in Bangkok, Thailand, at the turn of the century. This demanding role established a bespoke learning environment that delivered the IB frameworks in English, Mandarin, and Thai.Nadine then moved to the UAE, where she headed a school in Sharjah and later spearheaded a high school educator upskilling project with the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC). After a stint in business development for a London-based recruitment agency, she founded her own agency, True Teaching, in 2013.The True Teaching Flying Squad database connects experienced educators with long-term and short-term placements. The agency invoices schools upon a successful match, ensuring educators are never charged for registration or services. Nadine believes her extensive career provides the critical level of 'handholding' and reality needed for teachers considering their first move overseas. She has been blessed with the life she has led and now it’s time to give back.Our guiding question for this show was: “How does one go about getting a long term subbing gig at an international school?”Some of the topics covered include:How much interest there is in international long term subbingWhat the most common needs are that drive the demand for long-term substitutes in international schoolsKey professional and personal characteristics that make a teacher an ideal candidate for a long-term international subbing roleThe contractual "nuts and bolts" (visas, housing, flight reimbursement, salary, health insurance) for a long-term substitute positionsSome of the positives and negatives that candidates need to be aware of in subbing internationallyWhat long term subbing offers international educators pivoting from full-time teachingNadine’s advice to an internationally experienced teacher or administrator considering their first long-term substitute positionResources Mentioned in the Episode: True Teaching: register for recruiting services or for long-term subbing with the Flying Squad databaseConnect with Nadine on LinkedInThis episode was recorded on October 30, 2025.Categories: Long Term Subbing | Recruiting | School Life | Travel | Finances Support the showRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

    Have you ever taken a job in a new location and, after a few months, started asking yourself if you had made the right choice? Maybe something felt "off". Or maybe you just didn't feel like you "fit in".

    If you have, then this episode may prove to be helpful for you. Audrey will be modeling how a life coach might approach this question with a client. Even if you haven't experienced this kind of feeling during a transition, you may be curious to know what life coaching is like. If that's you, then check out this episode!

    This episode kicks off a new series for us that centers on Transitions Coaching for International Educators. We have selected some realistic transition difficulties that could be – and have been – experienced by educators in the international school space. We want to emphasize that these are unscripted sessions where David is doing his best to represent real educators experiencing realistic situations related to transitions and Audrey is delivering the in-the-moment life coaching that could help to address the issues involved. Please be gentle with us as we seek to demonstrate the power of life coaching for those faced with a transition from a comfortable, known school-city-country-culture to a new and unfamiliar one. Whether you are currently experiencing your first transition or your umpteenth, we hope these episodes will be helpful – and that they may even prompt you to seek transitions coaching for yourself!
