Astute Education Reviews 

I will be starting my 7th year teaching in the UAE and this is the second time I have used the services of Astute Education.

Working with Colin has been a breeze! The admin and documentation side of getting a teaching job in the UAE can be quite an arduous and time-consuming task but Colin made the process a lot easier. He is with you every step of the process, is clear with his communication and extremely quick in answering your queries (and trust me, I asked A LOT of questions!!).

I’ve had experience with a couple of other recruiters and was not impressed as I just felt like a number to them. Colin / Astute have that personal touch where they get to know you as a person and you feel like they actually care. Colin has a very friendly yet professional approach which for me are important characteristics when working with a recruiter and makes Astute stand out as the go-to recruiters for international teaching roles.

If you’d like to work with a recruitment agency with a caring, professional and personal touch then I would not hesitate to recommend Astute Education!

Review on Astute Education Agency

I would like to acknowledge Astute Education for the wonderful work they did for me.
From the very first time they contacted me they were so professional, pleasant, polite and they were reassuring. They got the job done. I was able to go about my busy schedule whilst they facilitated the next important stage in my life in an effective and positive way.

From Colin to Ruth who would keep me updated and ensure that I did what was required on time and well every single time.
Bearing in mind that I was going to a place that I had never seen before (UAE) in a way I had never tried before (use of an agency, let alone one I'd only just met online), Ruth's reassuring and never overbearing demeanor made me feel safe and encouraged to explore the opportunity.
I am super elated that I met this amazing agency.

Astute were great... Always happy to help and support me throughout the recruitment process.
Would definitely recommend their services in the future.

Huge thanks to Colin at Astute he was hugely helpful and supportive to me in finding a position and taking family circumstances into account. Really appreciated

Ruth has been an excellent agent in helping my family and I move to the UAE. She always replied to my mails and went over and above what was expected.

Colin and his team at Astute were extremely helpful, supportive and professional in securing me a teaching position with a school in Abu Dhabi. The process was smooth and efficient and I had constant communication with Colin which made completing interviews and the paperwork a breeze! Colin even guided me with certain documentation processes required by the school which I would not have been able to complete without his knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend Colin and Astute to anyone looking to secure a job role in the near future.

My experience with Astute Education was absolutely amazing!!! Astute Education is very efficient and reliable. Ruth always rendered her assistance whether it was needed or not, which is brilliant. I'm truly grateful for Astute Education for assisting me in finding a good teaching job in the UAE.

I was lucky enough to work with Ruth Leeson and her team at Astute Education. Ruth is the best of the best! Ruth's guidance, professionalism, and meticulous organization landed me a good opportunity in Abudhabi. I can't thank her enough for her kindness, patience, encouragement, quick updates and responses to my many emails and her ability to quickly resolve all problems I encountered . It was a very long process but Ruth was there all the way working so hard for me, even when I was almost giving up. I would like to thank her a lot as I would never have been able to complete this process without her sincere efforts, kind words and hard work on my behalf. God bless you and your team at Astute Education. I will never forget what you have done for me.

Ruth found me an amazing opportunity in 2016, circumstances changed after 7 years and in 2023 Ruth and Colin were quick to find me yet another great position. Colin is always available to respond promptly and succinctly. A great team that I am lucky to have be supported by. Thank you, Astute Ed.

The best recruiter I have worked alongside; attention to detail , caring and clearly understand the needs of prospective employee and employer

A great company to work with, I have acquired my last 2 teaching positions through Astute. Colin is very good at what he does and finds the best position to suit you. Astute helped me relocate from the UK to the UAE and sourced me the best packages!

Colin and Jake have been fantastic. Although I didn't get the one job, they kept me updated about new positions that matched my profile as they became available. I was successful in getting a job in the UAE and their communication was always prompt and helpful.

I received an excellent service. Usually, detailed, honest and timely feedback to all my queries. I would definitely be happy to use their services again and again.

Astute are the only recruitment company that actually do what they say. Amazing service. Special shout out to Colin. Thank you for everything.

Excellent recruitment company. Professional, Personal and on the ball every step of the way!

5 star experience with Ruth and Jake from Astute. Thank you both for tirelessly consulting my concerns and presenting only clarity in a new (and often uneasy) situation. I can not thank them enough for their service.
Having gone beyond the call of duty, having already landed in UAE, I'd figure their work is done, yet they're still checking in.

I definitely have had an excellent experience with Astute and will not hesitate to recommend colleagues and the like.

Truly grateful for your efforts.

Jake and Colin were great and fully supported me during the selection and interview process for a job in Abu Dhabi. I arrived successfully in the UAE thanks to them.

Astute Education is the best in their kind of business. Jake and Colin are extremely professional, helpful and their communication is always timeous and informative. My recommendation of Astute is unreserved and unequivocal.

Honestly could not recommend Jake and Colin enough, they are a credit to themselves in what they do. I have dealt with many recruitment companies both inside and outside the UAE for many years and have had top class service from Astute. They are extremely good for keeping in contact and making sure everything is going smoothly through the whole recruitment process. I unfortunately had visa troubles this year in the UAE and the guys were very patient and completely put my mind at ease over the few weeks during a very stressful time. I cannot recommend them enough, they are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Really looking forward to working with them again at some stage in the future. Thanks so much again for everything Jake and Colin!

Astute Education provide an excellent service. Not only are they quick to put forward your CV for suitable positions, they also let you know what to expect when preparing for an interview. A very professional and friendly experience, thank you.
