At Free Agency Teaching, we believe that the heart of quality education beats strongest in the communities that nurture dedicated teachers. That’s why we proudly focus on employing educators from regional Australia as part of our hiring. Our commitment to supporting these passionate individuals stems from our understanding of the unique challenges they face when considering a move to metropolitan Melbourne.
A Personal Touch from Our Director, Tim Arnold
One of our directors, Tim Arnold, is a proud native of regional Victoria. Having grown up in a smaller community, Tim has firsthand experience of the hurdles that come with relocating to the big smoke. From navigating the bustling city life to finding suitable accommodation, the transition can be daunting. Tim's journey has fueled his passion for creating a supportive environment for teachers looking to make this significant change. His insights provide us with a unique perspective on how to best support educators as they embark on this new chapter in their careers.
