The TEFL Org Story
Our story began in 2008, when experienced EFL teachers, Joe Hallwood and Jennifer MacKenzie, returned home from years teaching across Europe and founded The TEFL Org. Their vision was clear: to provide high-quality, affordable training that would enable others to discover the amazing opportunities that TEFL had given them.
Since then, The TEFL Org has flourished into a dynamic team of over 40 staff and tutors who share our passion for TEFL. We've earned numerous awards, expanded our reach worldwide, gained more accreditation than any other TEFL course provider, and trained over 185,000 teachers who are now teaching across the globe.
Charity Partner
We're excited to partner with Theirworld this year, an exceptional children's charity committed to ending the global education crisis and unlocking the potential of the next generation. Their mission ensures every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future.
For every donation made during course enrollment, The TEFL Org will match your contribution dollar for dollar, making your support go twice as far!
