We talk with Sian Hudson, the Head of the Teacher Training Centre in Auckland, New Zealand about her career in TEFL.
Being interested in other languages, different cultures and travel, a career in the TEFL industry can be the perfect way to combine these interests with work.
It's an exciting career option for the inquisitive and open minded, moreover, it knows no age boundaries making it a great choice for people looking for a career change later in their working life. People up to and including seventy have attended courses and we think this enriches the course for all candidates.
What's more, you don't have to be a native English speaker to have a promising career in TEFL, in fact being a speaker of another language can be an advantage in terms of language learning awareness.

Auckland
Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping – you’re beginning to get the picture of Auckland.
Auckland's blend of islands, Polynesian culture, glistening harbours and modern city environment creates an unbelievable lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world. In the Maori language, Auckland is known as Tamaki Makau Rau, the city of 100 lovers. It earned this name because it was a place desired by all and conquered by many. The natural assets of Auckland have made it a dream destination for all kinds of travellers, from doing-it-on-the-cheap backpackers to cost-is-no-issue super yacht owners.
The Auckland region is an antipasto of environments laid out on a huge platter to make one amazing city, boasting three harbours, two mountain ranges, 48 volcanic cones and more than 50 islands.
Auckland's population is approximately 1.3 million, making it by far the largest city in New Zealand, with one third of the country's entire population.
