  We want our volunteers to have a teaching experience that is successful and productive for everyone involved. For that reason, we offer free certification in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) for all volunteers on our Teach English projects.

Before going abroad, Teach English volunteers will be enrolled in the TEFL Online, a training course that prepares you to teach English anywhere in the world. As a graduate, you'll receive an internationally recognized TEFL certificate that will boost your professional credentials as well as your confidence in the classroom.

About TEFL Online
TEFL Online is a 12-module course that covers the basics of teaching English abroad. The program takes about 60 hours of your time to complete, after which you'll receive your TEFL Online Diploma and be ready for your volunteer English teaching position overseas.

TEFL Online Tutors
All TEFL Online students are assigned their own tutor for the course. Our tutors are professional teachers experienced in the field of teaching English as a foreign language. Your tutor will guide you through the course, grade your assignments, provide personalized feedback, and answer any questions you may have. Each tutor profile is listed on the TEFL Online website, so that you know a bit more about the person with whom you are corresponding.

  "In preparation for my trip abroad, I was given access...to the TEFL Online program, which helped me prepare for my teaching adventure. The modules and lesson plans available online helped me to organize and effectively plan my lessons."

  "I was very pleased with, and impressed by, the response of my two tutors, which were consistently prompt, detailed, and thoughtful. I could tell that they were experienced teachers, and that they had spent time reading and considering carefully my assignments. They really inspired my learning process and I greatly appreciate their work."
