About Ross Thorburn
Having studied civil engineering, and carving out the start of a promising career, Ross Thorburn wondered what the rest of his life would be like. That vision wasn’t exciting to him, so he retrained as a TEFL teacher and never looked back.
Almost immediately, he became a “flying teacher”, making himself available across China. After that, he became interested in teacher training, course design and setting up his own business, the TEFL Training Institute.
