The aim of the network is to provide a platform to allow English ESOL teachers to share their experiences, deal with queries, network with other members, and discuss potential opportunities in the field. If you hold the Cambridge CELTA, Trinity Cert TESOL, or other equivalent qualifications and have experience of teaching the types of course we offer, we would like to hear from you.
