El Cajon, California, United States Zen Educate Full time

At Zen Educate, we revolutionize the way educators find their perfect roles in education. Our mission is to return money to the classroom by providing fair and transparent pay for educators.

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. This issue affects not only the educators but also the students who deserve quality education and care.

The Zen Educate Solution

We are a new kind of agency with 8 years of experience in several states across the US and UK. We aim to simplify the process of finding your ideal placement in a school or district. Our innovative platform connects educators with schools, ensuring fair pay and lower costs for schools.

  • Fair Pay for Educators
  • Lower Costs for Schools
  • Personalized Support & Free Training
