TEFL Earth
Unlike other providers, we are run by TEFL experienced professionals, so when you get in touch with us you are getting proper advice from EFL teachers who have many years experience teaching and training.
TEFL Earth aims to provide a high level of service and quality training to those looking to start out in TEFL/TESOL/ESOL/EFL/ESL (Now there's some acronyms for you! Here's a brief explanation!).
TEFL Earth started out in Scotland, running 2 and 3-day classroom-based courses, we still do that, but we noticed that more and more people wanted to do their learning online. Online learning has grown steadily since then with people wanting to supplement classroom-based courses or simply not having the time for a classroom-based course.
We are still based in Scotland and have 2 sister sites offering classroom-based TEFL courses in Scotland www.TEFLscotland.co.uk and England www.TEFLengland.co.uk
TEFL Earth is part of TEFL Scotland Ltd which is a Scottish registered company, company number SC349721.
