I think overall, my favorite part about living in the US is the people. I've only had great interactions with the people that I have met since I've been here.

J-1 Teacher

Our district's cultural awareness program has been enhanced by the collaboration with Intrax and their teachers. We recommend them as a visa sponsor because of their high ethical standards and commitment to ensuring a positive experience for teachers and their host schools.

I am thankful to the community where I am teaching. People here are very thoughtful, helpful, and very welcoming. They let us learn their culture by teaching us their native language, giving us their favorite and traditional foods, bringing us to their home, and welcoming us like their own family.

Hjayella Mandrique

J-1 Teacher

The J-1 teachers have a love for learning and are always willing to share their cultural experiences with us. They create lessons that are of interest and engaging to students. I would recommend hosting a J-1 teacher to other schools because of the positive interactions I have had with the teachers, their willingness to learn and grow, and the diversity they bring to our campus community.
