Welcome to Your
American Teaching Adventure
Join Wonderlink and embark on a fully supported journey to teach in America. Enhance your skills, inspire students across the world, and transform yourself and your community back home.
The Experience
The Wonderlink program brings international teachers to the United States on a J-1 visa exchange for 3 to 5 years. You’ll be matched to a full-time teaching position with a partner American school district, and will have the same responsibilities, title, and pay structure as an equivalent American teacher. Our dedicated support staff will have your back through every part of your exchange journey, helping you find your way inside and outside of the classroom.

“The J-1 experience was a challenging chapter of my life, with intense learning and adaptation, but it was extremely rewarding professionally, ultimately turning out to be a life-changing journey that reshaped my view of education, the world, and my place in it.”

Wonderlink Teacher Mentor
“My teaching experience in the United States, although through a different J1 program, was a wonderful opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. Working with young learners from a different culture taught me to create lessons that built confidence and real-life skills in my students, and immersing myself in a new culture allowed me to explore and discover a new side of life. This experience changed me completely, and I will be forever thankful for it.”

“Teaching in the U.S. for 8 eight years has been a life-changing journey, full of challenges, growth, countless learning opportunities and unforgettable moments. To be able to live and work in a different country not only opened my mind and expanded my horizons, but also helped me to see the world and the educational system from a completely new perspective. It wasn’t always easy, but it was deeply rewarding. I’ve grown not only as a teacher but also as a person, learning the true power of resilience, collaboration, and cultural understanding.”
