What is amazing is that the TEFL certificate opens possibilities to an English teacher to teach all over the world. Getting a TEFL certificate is tantamount to opening a gold...  [Read more]

  If you crave adventure and a lifestyle that’s out of the ordinary, Phnom Penh, Cambodia is the perfect location to launch your ‘teach English abroad’ journey. The transformation of Cambodia over the past three decades from a country characterised by occupation and trouble, to a Southeast Asian powerhouse, is phenomenal. There’s an insatiable demand for English language skills in Cambodia - and a chronic shortage of TEFL qualified people to teach English. What does this mean for people just like you? Simple! It means opportunities galore. Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia and the nation’s international gateway. With a population of around 2.5 million people and a relatively confined central business district, it has a noticeably slower pace of life than you’ll...  [Read more]

Russ Tuff TEFL Information Alumni Experiences I have run my own businesses for many years. I used to have my staff tell people when they called looking for me “Tell anyone that is looking for me that I’m on a course” This has it appear I was always looking to better myself, and technically I wasn’t telling lies because I was on a golf course. That was back in the day. Since those days I have done more than 50 different “educational” courses. One could say I have some experience in the area of courses. I had the idea to do the 120-hour course before Christmas 2019. I did the first three units of that course before I was pulled away by my business, and it was March 2020 until I could get back into the course. (My wife...  [Read more]

  There’s only a handful of cities in the world that truly deserve ‘must visit’ status and Hanoi is certainly one of them. While most people can only dream about a fleeting trip to Hanoi – if they’re lucky – ‘living like a local’ and working as EFL teacher in this magnificent city is a realistic proposition for anyone with a sense of adventure.

While Ho Chi Minh City is often referred to as Vietnam’s ‘engine room’, Hanoi is more of a ‘grand old lady’. It’s tough to pin down what makes Hanoi such a special place. Is it because there’s history, culture and art on display in seemingly every...  [Read more]
