Ana’s 6 Months in Myanmar

Ana is from Slovenia, a small but beautiful country in the Balkans. Due to English not being the first language spoken there, it can be quite hard for Slovenian (or other non-native English speakers) to get TEFL jobs. Luckily for Ana, myTEFL's Teach in Myanmar internship is open to non-natives and natives alike. Ana fell in love with Myanmar and it's lush landscape, ancient roots and friendly locals. She also became a huge fan of Burmese cuisine and has taken the recipes back home with her to Slovenia. Sounds delicious!

Karen’s myTEFL Review

Karen realized that her desire to travel and see the world was a very real possibility after she met a couple who met abroad and are travelling together as TEFL teachers. After a bit of research, she signed up for myTEFL's 120-hour professional course and has no regrets! The thing about myTEFL that stood out the most to Karen was how fast, professional and positive the staff were. As a non-native English speaker, Karen may find it harder to find TEFL jobs than someone who grew up speaking English and as a result, many TEFL course providers will brush uncomfortable questions aside or "spin the truth" so to speak. Not myTEFL, the staff's genuine concern, helpfulness and honesty is what won Karen over. Now, she's getting job offers left right…

Like many non-native English speakers, Lieke was hesitant to sink her hard earned time and money into a TEFL course due to not having the ideal passport.

The continuous tutor support and extensive library containing loads of fun activities and lesson plans was also a huge plus for Lieke. Thanks for the great review Lieke!

Start with myTEFL

Like many people Krista was born with intense wanderlust and a desire to explore the world. Also like many people, Krista didn't know where to start to make her dream a reality. Choosing a career in TEFL is a great way to see the world in an authentic manner by actually living in a country and getting a feel for it's reality rather than hopping from tourist sight to tourist sight. Once Krista took the first step towards living her dream life, the rest became easy. She loved myTEFL's friendly user interface and the fact that she could complete the course on her smartphone. She was also very impressed with the helpfulness of the staff and how quickly and professionally they responded to her, making her feel like she was…

Another Ecstatic MyTEFL Graduate

Nothing makes us at myTEFL happier than to have a graduate absolutely thrilled with our course such as is the case with Azure. MyTEFL's 120-hour professional online TEFL course is completely inclusive and there are no requirements to join! This unfortunately is not the case for all TEFL providers, many of which require a passport from a native-English speaking country to enroll. Azure is ecstatic to have earned his TEFL certification and rightly so; he completed a comprehensive TEFL program as is now qualified to teach EFL all over the world despite English being his second language. Azure loves the quality and layout of the course as well as the very reasonable enrollment fee. He also enjoyed the attentive customer service and continued support before, during, and after the course.…
