ABOUT US

What we do

TPG provides qualified, certified, English-speaking teachers in high-need subject areas. TPG trains, transports, and tracks the teachers, who come from a number of countries with a strong desire to teach in America.

TPG takes care of all the details as the J-1 Visa sponsor, making it easier for both the incoming teachers and the schools doing the hiring.

Everyone wins. Students win by learning materials while absorbing cultural differences. Schools win by adding a minority mix to their faculty that looks more like their student population. Teachers win by gaining a valuable experience and sharing lessons learned. Districts win by filling vacancies without additional cost.

Who we are

TPG Cultural Exchange is a U.S. Department of State-designated J-1 visa sponsor for Teacher Exchange Visitors. Established as part of the Fulbright-Hayes Act of 1961, the J-1 visa is a cultural exchange visa that enhances U.S. public diplomacy by allowing qualified international educators to teach in K-12 schools in the United States for up to 5 years. 

Our team has over 15 years of experience supporting thousands of teachers and hundreds of U.S. public school districts in the journey of cultural exchange.
