TEFL Information Teaching Ideas
Do you dream of using your TEFL certification to teach online?

The internet is unfortunately full of online teachers' horror stories of being treated like replaceable commodities. To make matters even more confusing, social media is crawling with recruiters and teachers posting referral links to work at their companies. It's hard to know who to trust!

No matter how good an English speaker you are, you are required to own those specific degrees. If you want to teach in a private school, you have to take into account the fact that they prefer to hire native speakers – which is totally licit, to a certain extent.
