Have you already got your TEFL certificate but don’t know what to do next to start teaching English online?
This course has been developed using the materials, resources, and experiences from our live TEFL Mentorship Program. We have had tremendous success in helping people just like you use their TEFL certificates to start careers as online English teachers. However, not everyone could devote the time to meet with us online every week to join these sessions so we have created this course that you can work through on your own time and at your own pace.
This course is broken down into 5 sessions, each covering an important step in preparing yourself for a career in teaching English online and should be completed in the order presented to achieve the best results.
