Imagine a world in which people value diversity because they’ve lived it.  Where we actually know how to communicate with people different from ourselves.

Imagine a world where global issues are worked out through respectful dialogue and not with defensive shouts across a great divide. A world where we can hear and respect the different beliefs and ideas of another, without judgment and name-calling, and work toward sustainable solutions that benefit everyone involved.

Imagine leaders and common citizens who value a variety of perspectives and are connected and engaged on a daily basis with a worldwide community. People who, from interactions with others different from themselves, have taken time to reflect on their own beliefs and actions, and are able to entertain the notion that there are many right ways. And that we’re in this together.

This is the world we want to live in. Frankly, this is the world we need if we are going to be able to address the global issues confronting us  and our children. And this is why we founded English for Life Academy.

We Are.

At English for Life Academy, our goal is to promote and create a world where diversity and communication are valued. We are professionals, teachers, and global citizens. Collectively, we have lived all over the world and speak many different languages.  

We love working with language teachers and learners, and we love teaching.  Every day we teach people of all walks of life from around the planet. We have different specializations in English language teaching, but we all have one thing in common: we have each experienced first-hand the personal transformation that occurs when immersed in another culture, in learning to communicate in a new language, or in that transformative moment of understanding that even though we are all different, we are also very much the same.

We Believe.

We see language and cultural exchange as a tool to create global citizens by facilitating interpersonal understanding and promoting teamwork. Research shows that bilingual people have increased brain capacity, higher levels of creativity, increased reasoning and visual-spatial skills, memory advantages and higher levels of abstract thinking, and faster decision making skills.  These are all essential characteristics of strong team players and future leaders.

Our mission is to provide expert training, practical experience, professional resources, and personal mentoring to teach, travel, and transform the world through innovative and personalized TESOL Certificate courses and language and cultural training experiences.

At English for Life Academy, we believe that teaching and learning about language and culture can be an exciting, enriching experience.  It can change your life, and the lives of those around you.
