About Us

Proper TEFL training, made genuinely enjoyable.

We're Pacific Online Teaching Academy — a Sydney-based team that trains new English teachers the right way. No shortcuts, no "watch a video and get a certificate" nonsense.

Every course is self-paced. Every assignment gets real feedback from a real tutor. Every graduate walks away ready to run a classroom — whether that's in Ho Chi Minh, Seoul, or from their kitchen table in Melbourne.
