TEFL Careers

My experience working in Spain with the help of TEFL Careers was fantastic! I honestly can’t find any flaws in the program. The teachers and my host family were incredibly supportive and helpful. Most of my teaching was with small groups of around 6–8 children, but on occasion I also helped teach a full class under the guidance of the teachers, which was a great success.

My host family made me feel completely at home and introduced me to many new things, including the Catalan language and Spanish cuisine. They also took me on tours around Catalonia, showing me places like Montserrat, L’Escala, and even a whole new country,Andorra.

I often went on trips to Barcelona, where I met other volunteers. On our days off, we explored Girona and other small towns together, which made the experience even more memorable.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in teaching for the first time, as it’s a real eye-opener. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to explore Spain, experience the culture through the eyes of locals, and soak in the language, food, and traditions.

I was based in the city of Vic, in northern Spain, in the beautiful Catalonia region.

Moving to Japan was a daunting task, but the support from the parent company meant everything went smoothly. The amount of admin and paperwork that needed to be done even months after arriving would have been nearly impossible otherwise.

The company did its best to place us according to where we want to be; I prefer the countryside and they managed to find a school for me there.

Living in Japan has been peaceful and exciting in equal measure. It's reassuring to know that whenever a problem does appear, there is a methodical solution to it somewhere.

Studying with the TEFL Academy was an amazing experience! The course content was thorough and practical, giving me all the tools I needed to confidently teach English. I appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to study at my own pace while still receiving great support from the tutors. The resources they provided were incredibly helpful, and the certification is widely recognized, making me feel confident in my ability to teach abroad. Overall, I highly recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone looking to start their teaching journey!

I taught at a university in Sichuan, China. The campus was fun and the students were great. It was my first time being fully responsible for my own classes, so I learned a lot about myself and teaching.

School staff was generally helpful but not always. Campus felt generally safe but some aspects were in poor condition.

Overall it was a great experience and I think the students enjoyed the opportunity to have me as a teacher as well. I had plenty of time to travel on weekends and holidays as well.

I would recommend for the adventurous!

I’m so happy I got an opportunity to participate in this programme, it is rewarding in many aspects and China being my first international destination makes me even more grateful. It is safe, convenient and full of amazing places and people.
My host family is loving and supportive, I enjoy being a part of their family.
I attend Mandarin classes offline, 3 times a week and it’s amazing!😻
I’m grateful once again to The TEFL Academy and Wanderlust Exchange(China) for this lifetime opportunity; I look forward to more future opportunities in the TEFL world.

At first I thought it would be hard to be considered without a degree but now- all hope has been regained and as an undergraduate; I can’t wait to bag my degree and expand my horizons!! ✈️🤩 👩🏽‍🏫🥳
