  • Meet Our Trainers

    All teacher trainers hold a Master's degree or a PhD in TESOL or a related field and all have at least 10 years of professional teaching and training experience at university level. Classes will typically be taught by two instructors per class to provide a variety of experiences and perspectives to our students.
