I Taught English Abroad: A TEFL Org podcast

I Taught English Abroad is an original podcast from TEFL Org, sharing incredible stories from EFL teachers around the world. Since 2022, we’ve featured teachers who’ve trained aspiring actors in Hollywood, escaped a revolution in Egypt, launched thriving businesses, and transformed their lives through TEFL.

Tune in now and get inspired!

The TEFL Org Story

Our story began in 2008, when experienced EFL teachers Joe Hallwood and Jennifer MacKenzie returned home after years of teaching in Europe and founded The TEFL Org. Their mission was simple: to provide high-quality, affordable training that would open the door for others to experience the incredible opportunities TEFL had given them.

Since then, The TEFL Org has grown into a team of over 40 staff and tutors who are passionate about everything TEFL. We've earned prestigious awards, expanded globally, gained more accreditation than any other TEFL course provider in Australia, and trained over 185,000 teachers who’ve gone on to teach English all around the world.

Charity Partner

This year, we’re proud to partner with the incredible charity, Theirworld. Dedicated to ending the global education crisis, Theirworld works to unlock the potential of the next generation by ensuring every child has the best start in life, access to safe learning environments, and skills for the future.
