TEFL Courses in the United States

Opportunities abound for teachers to earn TEFL certification in the USA, which is why the it’s one of the most popular places to enroll in TEFL courses abroad.

San Francisco. Living on the edge of the Pacific Ocean seems to inspire creativity in a lot of people, and it has had an influence on eclectic San Francisco. If your TEFL certification classes in the USA take you to the Bay area, your studies will be easily complemented by cool coffee shops and trendy shopping districts.

Chicago. Chicago is New York’s friendlier Midwestern brother, and arguably just as exciting (and with arguably better pizza). Chicago TEFL courses in the USA will leave you wanting more of the Windy City, and fortunately there’s plenty of classes to choose from.

New York City. New York is a natural choice when it comes to TEFL certification classes in the USA—with culture oozing out of its ears, it’s a logical choice. NYC is both the best and worst parts of the United States, so bring a sense of humor with you. Here, there are plenty of options for TEFL classes, so you can afford to be a little bit more picky.

I just completed the 10-hour virtual TEFL certification and learned a lot of information. I have to admit that I was skeptical as to what I could learn in two days but the number of actionable skills I learned was impressive. The instructor, Michelle Benson, is a skilled educator and was able to deliver the course in a way that was concise and effective. Michelle was patient, proficient and professional in her approach to teaching. Take this course if you desire to learn and practice your teaching skills.
