Why Zen?

At Zen Educate, we revolutionize the way educators find their perfect roles in education.

The Problem

Traditional recruitment agencies often pay educators low wages while charging schools exorbitant fees, making it challenging for schools to allocate resources where they are needed most - back to supporting the students!

The Zen Educate Solution

Zen Educate is a new kind of agency with 8 years of experience in several states across the US and UK. We aim to return money to the classroom by providing educators with fair and transparent pay. By leveraging our innovative platform (think Uber for teachers), we aim to simplify the process of finding your ideal placement in a school or district.
