Qualify as an ESOL Tutor
Most ESOL providers (e.g. Colleges and Adult Education Services) require their ESOL tutors to have Level 5 ESOL Teaching Qualifications. These could be qualifications such as Trinity TESOL (Teaching English Speakers of Other Languages) or CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults).
These qualifications can be delivered in-person and online at several providers across the North West. They can be delivered intensively, full-time for a few weeks or part-time over a longer period of time. These courses usually cost approximately £1300 – £1500 per learner.
