It the starting hub for most tourists giving it an extra international flare and filling it with opportunities to teach English as a foreign language. With a population of over 4.5 million and urban culture, TEFL courses in Sydney will most definitely provide outdoor excitement.

Adelaide. This is one of Australia’s smaller cities and it’s surrounded by the beautiful and lush wine valleys of South Australia. The city is another one of Australia’s great beach destinations.

Michelle Benson was my teacher for the virtual teaching practicum. Michelle was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and highly engaging. She reviewed all course related material thoroughly, as well as answered many other general teaching related questions from the participants. I felt prepared to plan and present my portion of the virtual lesson when the time came to do so. Her feedback was very helpful and follow up was immediate. I would not hesitate to refer a student to her course and would welcome the chance to take another course with her in the future!
