Our people
Our people are what make us what we are. They answer the phones. They look after the website. They teach our TEFL courses. They make sure we’re all happy doing our jobs. They buy the raisin and cinnamon bagels for the kitchen. And Kath - our lovely cleaner - makes sure we don’t leave sweetie wrappers and coffee cups all over the place.
Our TEFL Tutors
All our TEFL tutors have at least 3 years experience of teaching English abroad. Most of them have loads more. So not only will they be great tutors and do all they can to help you pass your course, they'll also be there to give you first hand advice on finding TEFL jobs abroad.
We have loads of TEFL tutors working across the world. You can find out more about them here.
Our TEFL Customer Support team
Our TEFL customer support team are supportive, which is pretty much what you’d want from a support team really. Once you’ve signed onto your course or applied for a TEFL job abroad they’ll be there to answer any questions you have and iron out any problems. And they’ll stick your certificates and stuff in the post too.

Our TEFL advisors
Our TEFL advisors are the people you’ll speak to when you call to ask about a course or a TEFL job. Some people would call them salespeople, but they’re not pushy like those telesales types that always seem to call while you’re having your dinner. They’re more likely to give you advice about TEFL, so we call them TEFL advisors. Makes sense to us.
Who are our TEFL Advisors?
Justine Keenan – She is the beautiful boss of the TEFL advisors!
Dave Renaud – He’s the team leader and has a personalised number plate, but don’t hold that against him
