My TEFL journey began in the depths of a wet and miserable British Winter where, as a lost second year university student, I was struggling to find the motivation for… well, motivation for pretty much anything. Without going into too much unnecessary detail, I was struggling with concentrating on university work, dividing my time between […]

As a meticulous planner, you can imagine when it came to applying to TEFL work I spent many an hour researching schools, and cities.

In many countries, English is the language chosen for business, diplomacy, and as a general common ground for speakers of different tongues. That’s why many entrepreneurial men and women around the world are scrambling to improve their Business English skills […]
