Your guide to the world of online English teaching

Free training & Professional development webinars


 

Welcome!

I train ESL teachers to sharpen their skills, streamline their planning, and market their teaching to find more success & fulfillment online.

I started TEFL Horizons back in 2018 after working full-time as a CELTA tutor and teacher trainer for over 5 years (and teaching ESL students for many more). Now I’m passionate about making truly good quality training & resources available to ESL teachers around the globe.

In short, I’m here to help you become the very best version of your teacher self. If you’re ready to create - or redesign - an online teaching career that includes more joy, more income, and less stress, then you’re in the right place.
