Review Guidelines

Our goal is to help teachers make informed decisions. Follow these guidelines to ensure your reviews are helpful and fair.

What Makes a Great Review

Be Specific

Include concrete details about your experience. "The PD budget was $2,000/year and they encouraged us to use it" is more helpful than "Good professional development."

Be Balanced

Every school has pros and cons. Share both so readers get the full picture.

Be Constructive

Focus on facts and actionable insights. What would you tell a friend considering this school?

Be Honest

Only review schools where you've actually worked. Your credibility helps the community.

Be Current

Mention when you worked there. Schools change over time, and context matters.

What to Avoid

No Personal Attacks

Don't name or identify specific individuals. Focus on policies and practices, not personalities.

No Discriminatory Content

Content that discriminates based on race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics will be removed.

No False Information

Don't exaggerate or make up details. Stick to what you personally experienced.

No Confidential Information

Don't share information you're legally obligated to keep confidential.

No Spam or Promotion

Reviews should be genuine, not promotional content or competitive attacks.

Salary Data Guidelines

Report Actual Figures

Share what you actually earned, not advertised ranges or what you heard others make.

Include the Full Package

Housing, flights, bonuses, and benefits are all valuable information for teachers comparing offers.

Specify Your Role

Salaries vary by position, experience, and qualifications. Provide context so your data is useful.

Our Moderation Process

All reviews and salary data are reviewed by our team before being published. This typically takes 24-48 hours. We may:

  • Approve your submission as-is
  • Request clarification or edits
  • Reject content that violates these guidelines

If your review is rejected, we'll let you know why and give you the opportunity to revise it.

See Something Wrong?

If you believe a review violates these guidelines, use the "Report" button on the review or contact us at reports@teachabroad.com. We take all reports seriously and investigate within 48 hours.
