1. What inspired you to do a TEFL qualification?
My desire to travel and experience what other cultures have to offer and to have a career that not only offers me autonomy and flexibility but that is also intrinsically rewarding inspired me to complete a TEFL qualification. After countless hours of research, I discovered that a TEFL qualification was the solution to escaping the mundane life of clocking in and out at an 8 to 5 and performing the same repetitive tasks day in and day out to working in a profession working directly with direct human experiences, fulfilling and rewarding, a TEFL qualification ended up being the best option out there. With a TEFL certification, I could experience all the best things in life: people we love, places we’ve been and the memories we’ve made along the way all while making a decent living, the flexibility of traveling and career opportunities in my home country and abroad.2. What made you choose to do a TEFL course with Premier TEFL?

3. What are you excited about most for when you start teaching English as a foreign language?

4. Why do you think everyone should do a TEFL qualification?
I believe anyone who is fluent in English should earn a TEFL certification because career opportunities both home and abroad are available. Once you are a trained ESL teacher, you too can begin living your lifestyle-career with an extended holiday to nearly anywhere in the world. It’s one of few professions that gives back.
