TEFL Courses & Certification in Eastern Europe & Russia

Having developed behind the Iron Curtain during the latter half of the 20th century, many countries in Eastern Europe are still playing catch up in the process of globalization. Part of that effort is learning the world’s common language; you will find that there are many less English speakers on the eastern half of the continent than on the western. Enrolling in a TEFL course in Eastern Europe is the opportunity to place yourself in a growing market, while learning all about the fascinating cultural history of this emerging region of the world.

A Guide to TEFL Courses in Eastern Europe

Locations

While there are no set-in-stone boundaries that delineate Eastern Europe from the western half of the continent, the region is most commonly described as encompassing the former member and satellite states of the USSR. This region expands from the Baltic states of the north to the Balkans in the south, and from Russia in the east to Germany in the west.

As the largest country and wielding the most influence in the region, Russia is generally a top choice for international educators of where to enroll in a TEFL course in Eastern Europe. A culturally rich country and significant world power, enrolling in a TEFL program in Russia is an opportunity to lay a strong global networking while also learning Russian, which is one of the UN’s six official languages.

Other popular countries where you can enroll in a TEFL course in Eastern Europe range from Lithuania to Slovakia to Croatia. Depending on the parameters you set, there are some 20 countries in Eastern Europe, each with their own distinct cultures and national heritage. Do your research into the major and minor destinations, to decide where a TEFL program in Eastern Europe seems like the most interesting fit for you!

Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course

I ordered a Hard Copy certificate and it took longer than expected to get sent out. I could not get through to anyone on the phone or by email, which I am putting down to COVID Lockdown and the office being closed. As soon as I used the Chat, Kate was very helpful and told me the status of my order straight away. I have given 4 stars purely because contacting them by phone and email was so hard, but the chat feature is excellent, so try that first if you need help.

Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course

I’ve just finished the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about signing up. Everything was clearly structured, well planned, and really straightforward to follow. I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but Kate had me, and everyone else on the course, feeling comfortable almost straight away. We started with a few warmers so we could get to know each other, and I honestly think that made it easier for everyone to relax and fully take part in every part of the course. Kate stayed professional throughout, but she also made sure it was enjoyable and never too heavy, so it didn’t feel like being overloaded with information you could not keep up with. I genuinely can’t rate this course highly enough for anyone interested, it is excellent and completely worth doing.
