Have Questions?
Here are answers to some of the questions we are most frequently asked about the Career Mentorship.
Do I need to already hold a TEFL certificate?
Yes. This career mentorship is designed for teachers who already hold a TEFL certification from another provider. If you don't yet have a TEFL certification, our Professional and Advanced Online Teacher Training include the TEFL course alongside career mentorship.
How long do I have to start my mentorship?
You have six months from purchase to start your mentorship. Once you begin, your live sessions are scheduled around you, with a one-month follow-up after your final session to review your progress.
How quickly can I start teaching?
Many participants secure their first job offer within two weeks of starting the mentorship. Your mentor helps you prepare your CV, profiles and interview technique so you're ready to apply with confidence. Results vary from person to person, but the mentorship is designed to get you working as quickly as possible.
What happens in the mentorship sessions?
Your mentor guides you across four live small-group sessions (4–6 participants): preparation and motivation, your CV and introduction video, interview preparation, and trial lesson training. You'll also complete guided self-study on job applications and freelance profiles, with a one-month follow-up to review your progress.
Is the mentorship completely online?
Yes. All mentorship sessions are delivered online, allowing you to take part from anywhere in the world.
Do I get a certificate?
No — and that's by design. This mentorship is about outcomes, not paperwork: the goal is to get you hired and earning. Your mentor works with you until your CV, teaching profiles and interview technique are job-ready, then helps you start applying for online teaching work.
Can I take part while working full-time?
Absolutely. Because sessions are scheduled around you, many participants complete their mentorship alongside full-time employment, university studies or family commitments.
