Chad H.
Atlanta → Marbella, Spain
"The course for me was one of the best educational experiences of my life. I have been through college and this was like a very intense, hyper focused course to get you ready for a life long career!"
In the past year, teaching online has allowed me to travel around Mexico, Amsterdam, Spain, New York City, Italy, Morocco, Poland, and I am currently in The Gambia, West Africa.
Being part of a forever-growing industry gives me such peace of mind. Work opportunities are constantly coming my way, and I plan to continue seeing the WORLD!
Stephanie H.
Chicago → Fukuoka, Japan
"Moving from Chicago to Japan has been the experience of a lifetime. After completing my course, myTEFL helped secure my teaching position here."
I’m currently based in Fukuoka—famous for Tonkotsu ramen—where the food is fresh and flowers seem to bloom year-round, long after cherry blossom season ends.
After completing my course, myTEFL helped secure my teaching position here, which made the transition so much easier. The people are incredibly courteous, and teaching English has been such a rewarding way to connect with locals of all ages. It is a unique culture, but you will always have help from those around you!
Emily C.
USA → Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
"I relied heavily on the lesson-planning strategies I learned during my training. Even with no supplies, my students loved the classes."
She stayed in contact the whole time and even helped me secure a job offer in South Korea.
Eventually, I found my way to a boarding school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The start was stressful because the school gave me no textbooks or curriculum. However, I relied heavily on the lesson-planning tricks I learned during my myTEFL training. I was able to create fun, interactive games that my students loved, despite having no supplies.
I absolutely wouldn’t have been able to do this without myTEFL. The course is affordable and accomplishable. They even provided the original certificate to help with my visa process. Taking this chance to teach abroad has been the best decision I’ve ever made!

This includes destinations such as China, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, the UAE, and others where a TEFL certificate is required as part of the hiring or visa process.
myTEFL certifications can also be authenticated or legalized when required, including apostille and consular legalization support for countries with stricter documentation rules.
