Think TEFL!
If you want to know why it is interesting to be a TEFL Teacher, Notting Hill College has the answer
Here are some reasons why people would choose to teach English abroad
- To travel: you can teach English and see the world; teaching is the most affordable option.
- To experience a different culture: living and working in a country is not like visiting it for a couple of days. When you teach in a country, you get a real feel of what its culture is like.
- To get a different view on life: when you teach different nationalities, you see how other people think. You change and/or challenge your opinions and values; in a nutshell you see the world from a different paradigm.
- To make friends: being in the classroom is the best forum for engaging with the people of a country.
- To learn a new language.
- To experience different weather (e.g. wear sunglasses in winter!)
- To move forward in your career.
- To make a difference in the world, by teaching poor children or helping young people getting a better job.
For all these wonderful reasons, Notting Hill College offers its popular Advanced TEFL Certificate, more than 130 hours of training. Join us and change your life.
