Dear Knysna English School TEFL Trainees and Qualified TEFL Teachers,

We are excited to announce the official launch of our very own Online English Teaching School, following many years of careful planning and preparation. We believe the time is right, and we’re confident that this new venture will open many more doors for you as teachers.

Our goal is to build a world-class online teaching facility that matches the high standards of our existing institutions:

Knysna English School (https://teachenglishoverseas.com)

Keurbosch International School (https://keurboschschool.co.za)

The foundation of our Online English Teaching division is quality, affordability, and value for money for students.

We’ll be sharing more details with you shortly. Upload your documents in the meantime.

Warm regards,
Michiel Coetzee
Academic & Course Director

 

 

Please note that ONLY Knysna English School TEFL teachers will be considered for the Online Teaching positions.

TEFL Trainee Notice – Knysna English School

At Knysna English School, we believe in building strong, experienced teachers before they begin earning independently through our platform.

We recommend that you gain teaching experience as part of your training before becoming a fully qualified TEFL teacher with us.

While you’re still in training:

  • You may teach, practice or trial lessons to gain confidence and improve your skills.

  • Any fees paid by students during your training phase will be reinvested into promoting the website and growing our global reach. You will only become eligible to receive payments once you have successfully qualified as a Knysna English School TEFL teacher.

  • You will begin earning only after you have successfully qualified as a Knysna English School TEFL teacher.

This approach helps ensure:

  • High-quality teaching for students

  • Real-world experience for teachers

  • A professional, trusted online platform
