Why Study TEFL in Alexandria, Egypt
Alexandria is Egypt's second-largest city with 3.5 million people, and though it's a thoroughly modern city today it also boasts a long and rich history stretching back over the millennia. It was once known for its library - the largest in the ancient world - and as a great center for learning. Today, it Alexandria is Egypt's largest port (the city runs along about 20 miles of the Mediterranean coast) and an important industrial city.
This is the city of Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Mark Anthony, and Napoleon. This is where the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the wonders of the ancient world, once stood. This is where a new library has taken the place of the ancient one, destroyed in 400 AD. Alexandria is very much an historical city, but it's also vibrant and alive today. E.M. Forster once said that "the best way to see Alexandria is to wander aimlessly," so enjoy your explorations of this famous city!

Arabic Cultural Immersion Program
With our Cultural Immersion Program you can do it all - get your TESOL certificate, gain first-hand real-life teaching experience, learn a new language, and experience an interesting culture. And it's all wrapped up in one program!
Do more than teach in the Middle East - learn Arabic while you are also teaching English. We will offer internships to Egypt trainees who succesfully complete our TESOL certificate. The six-week internship is renwable, so if you like what you're doing you can keep doing it.

This will help you get practical experience with teaching itself as well as the other things that you'll need to learn about as a teacher - such as administrative issues and handling a full course load.

- Achieve a satisfactory performance in the TESOL certificate program, including the teaching practice, and
