December 16, 2025by: Pangaea Chaeruka - ZimbabweProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseThe experience was well equipping and interactive. It was interesting to see the other side to teaching and building teaching skills that otherwise I would have done in a more boring way. It was enlightening on how to teach English in a more interesting way.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
What inspired me the most was being able to help people achieve their dreams of travelling and teaching English in other countries around the world. Some people are in the middle of switching careers after many years and seeing them follow their dreams just as I did at some point in my life and take such a big step, is admiring and gratifying.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I have worked in educational/travel industries for over two and a half years now. I love to work with people who are looking to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Our students will go out into the world and teach others the very valuable skill of the English language. It is great to be part of the process. It is great to assist people in reaching their goals of becoming a certified TEFL teacher.
