Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

Open doors with confidence

Learning English can expand your worldview. Teaching someone English might be your calling.

When you guide people into the confidence that fluency brings, you open doors—in the U.S. and abroad. Professional educators use this program to expand their portfolio with a TESOL certification. College grads who are heading overseas use this program to become the teacher their next move demands.

Why study TESOL with us?

At CLC, your educators know you by name—not by number. The instructors are teachers first, and researchers second. They dedicate their careers to helping you learn and understand the significance of this life-changing profession.

You learn the same material studied at 4-year schools, while you receive the personal attention and feedback possible only in small class sizes.
