Great environment
What's good about Zen is that they send you jobs on the app so you can look at them and you can look at the schools before you accept, pick and choose where you want to go. The way forward for working!

A Rewarding Experience
Working with Zen Educate has been a rewarding experience. I have been placed in quality substitute positions and had all the support I could have asked for. The staff is responsive and competent, and I know others who have also done substitute teaching through Zen and their stories are similar to mine.
