The American TEFL

About Us

Our Story

The American TEFL Academy was founded by Americans who once sought to internationalize their social and career prospects and now aim to give others the same opportunity. Becoming TEFL certified is an easy but necessary first step to becoming an English teacher in a foreign country or online.

Not only will a TEFL certification earned through our program provide new teachers with that necessary credential, but the curriculum has also been developed for self-paced learning, providing the most fundamental knowledge of teaching English as a foreign language and the market for English teaching more generally
