TESOL Australia's Refund Policy

I am still in China, having taught English here at a University for one year and am now settled into my second year with an offer to extend another year. I am so grateful for your assistance and so pleased I did your course. It has enabled me to hit the ground running, making it easy to prepare lessons and delivering them at the right level. It seems I am quite popular with my classes being over-subscribed each Semester. So to come here was a very good move for me. I am enjoying China. I work only 4 afternoons each week so I travel each 'long weekend' and holidays. I love my students. They are motivated, bright and respectful.
