Let’s get personal… I’m an animal lover, with a passion for horses. We own, breed and raise horses, and I’m also a licensed horse trainer.
For almost twenty years, I have been teaching university and TEFL became an avenue for students to gain some experience and income without having to move away from our local area for a job.
Covid-19 brought a second market beyond university graduating students as many people sought an additional income source.
The entire eTEFL Online family shares the values of genuine concern for people. The team is made up of a collection of the strongest group of partners who are able to provide the best possible product/service to our customers.

Your eTEFL Online team share a common mission: To help our clients.

The eTEFL Online Model
Our goal is to help you become an independent online teacher who can earn a living no matter what is happening in the market.
Our TEFL course was written and developed by a university TEFL professor and was accredited by OTTSA, the Online TEFL and TESOL Standards Association. The course flows logically from topic to topic, resulting in a much more enjoyable experience for you. We help you prepare your resume, cover letter and other documents necessary to land the really good interviews.
Later, when you’re ready to advance to building a successful freelance online career, we’ll be ready too, helping with your teacher profiles, showing you how to specialize and deciding how much to charge for your services.
These are changing times. Life moves fast and things outside of our control can spin our lives around in an instant. Whether you want a part-time income for today’s bills or a rainy day fund for tomorrow, or whether you want to develop this into a full-time job that gives you control over your life, our goal is to help you reach yours!
