Our Story
TESOL International was born from a deep passion for teaching and travel. With years of experience helping teachers find their path, we’ve seen first-hand how a TESOL qualification can open doors to incredible experiences in every corner of the globe.
We’ve also seen many courses not offering the full support needed to embark on this journey. Our founder’s journey started with a teaching adventure in Asia, teaching in schools, colleges and language centres, and mentoring in diverse cultural settings. These experiences ignited a desire to make teaching English abroad accessible to everyone.
Today, TESOL International has grown into a thriving community of over 75,000 members, each with their own unique story. Our mission is to empower new teachers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed.
