Academics Avis 

I’ve had a really positive experience working with Sugesh and Adam. They have been incredibly supportive, responsive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. Communication has always been clear and timely, and I’ve consistently felt listened to and Valued. Sugesh and Adam go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported, not just placed, and their professionalism and kindness truly stand out. I’m very grateful for all their help and would highly recommend working with them.

What makes Academics a great agency is how responsive, kind and co operative they are. Particularly working with Sugesh has been a great pleasure, I was really struggling with employment and now thanks to all his help I have a full time role at a really wonderful school. He’s been very understanding, communicative and helpful.

My experience with academics is very good, as the agent I am working with is very helpful with all matters.

Sugesh has been an amazing agent , has always made sure I am happy with my job and always been supported

Excellent service, staff very friendly and polite and always helpful and available to answer questions.

I graduated this year and never had a full time position where DBS checks, National Insurance numbers, birth certificates and every other official document relating to my identity were involved until entering the world of education. Setting up your profile can take time if you’ve haven’t done something like this before like me! But, this company is genuinely always on the ball and on the other end of the phone to help and communicate really well all the steps. Sugesh from Academics who has been helping me the entire process has been super lovely and really helpful for me. Before each cover shift where I filled in for certain schools and before my trial shift at the current college I work at, he sent me information/ expectations about the school, spoke over the phone before and after the school day for check-ins and to ensure I was happy and comfortable. Sugesh didn’t make me feel pestered or pressured like other agencies I’ve worked with in the past and that’s what makes me appreciate him so much! He is patient and understanding. So albeit the initial vetting can be a little bit long, it’s all worth it in the end!

Sugesh has been particularly helpful during the process of finding a job post uni. He is very reliable, helpful and understanding, responding extremely promptly to messages which had made a real difference in my experience. I'd like to thank him for his hard work and dedication and would highly recommend him as a recruitment agent.

Every staff member is very professional, kind and hard-working. I have worked with Sugesh and Jane and they are brilliant. I also appreciate that the company adapts to the schedule of each individual and gives plenty of opportunities.

The entire process with Academics was very quick and smooth. Everything was handled promptly and efficiently.
Sugesh was especially helpful throughout, he supported me at every step and even after I got the job, he continued to check in to make sure everything was going well. He was always approachable, easy to contact, and quick to resolve any issues. Overall, a very positive experience.

Daniel Wheeler from Academics has been one of the best recruiters I’ve ever had, very consistent and reliable with communication and follow through. Would highly recommend him!

Exceptional service and role matching.
I have been working with Daniel all my supply teaching career and do not now work with any other recruiter.

Waited 6 months for the dbs. That lost me one job as the woman booked the start before the certificate wasnt even finished, then the summer holidays started and all contact stopped, no one bothered to reply, this is in september, still havent heard from them, now near the end of october. Go else where do waste your money on them.

Daniel is one of the best agents in London. He is helpful, and he always looks after his clients and Teachers. A real pleasure to work with him!

I can recommend this agency without a doubt, and it's especially pleasant to work with Daniel. Immediate placement based on your location, instant response if any issues arise, and a very understanding approach!

I was not sure what to expect, but once started the process to find a role in school teaching. I was guided and supported well by Sarah . She promptly guided me through all the unknowns and based on my needs , She listened and delivered on her promise. I feel safe and with a sense of belonging as If I am part of the team now , and I know will continue to work together for a long time. I recommend Sarah from Academics for a proactive engaging hiring experience.

I received a call from Luke to discuss potential teaching opportunities for September. I couldn’t talk at the time, so I said I’d call back. When I did, I asked to speak with Luke, but he was busy. A co-worker offered to help instead and immediately began firing questions at me in a condescending manner, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

I explained that most of these questions had already been discussed with Luke and asked to speak with him again. She said he would contact me soon, but during the conversation she also made an inappropriate comment, saying, “I’m all over the place.” I have no idea where that came from, but it felt rude and unprofessional.

Overall, I am very disappointed that potential clients are spoken to in such a dismissive and disrespectful way.

As a first-year teacher, stepping into the world of education felt both exciting and overwhelming. I was incredibly fortunate to have Daniel as a support during this critical time. From the very beginning, he made it clear that I could reach out to him at any time—and he truly meant it. Whether it was a major concern or just one of those “silly” things you hesitate to mention, Daniel was always there to listen, offer guidance, and help me feel heard.

What meant the most to me was that even when I felt like giving up, Daniel never gave up on me. He believed in me when I doubted myself, and that belief carried me through some of the most challenging moments of my first year. His unwavering support gave me the strength to keep going and the confidence to grow.

His advice was consistently thoughtful, encouraging, and practical. More than anything, it was his kindness that stood out. Daniel never made me feel like I was a burden, even when I reached out often. He had a genuine way of making me feel like my growth and confidence mattered.

It wasn’t just Daniel, either. His entire team reflected the same warmth and support. They were welcoming, responsive, and clearly committed to their job. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks to Daniel and his team, my first year of teaching became not just a learning journey, but a truly transformative one. Their encouragement helped me grow not just as an educator, but also as a person.

Maybe our paths will cross again in the future—it would truly be a pleasure.

Awful agency, literally the worst I
have worked for. Never got me any work and the few times they did they put me in as a HLTA so they could pay me less than scale. Never returns messages or emails and point blank refuse to give a reference

Academics have been amazing! Especially Keenan and Louis - thank you so much! Defo recommend X

Ryan Morris is an exceptionally kind, humble, and gracious person. His presence radiates warmth and sincerity, making everyone around him feel valued and respected. Working with him is not only a pleasure but also a privilege — he creates a space where one feels truly heard, supported, and encouraged. His gentle demeanor, unwavering patience, and uplifting spirit make him a remarkable individual to work with, and I feel genuinely fortunate to have him as a colleague.
