Question 1

What is the difference between a TEFL job and an ESL job?

Accepted Answer

The terms are often used interchangeably. TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) typically refers to positions where English is not the country's official language — common in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. ESL (English as a Second Language) is a broader term. Most employers use either term freely.

Question 2

Do candidates on ESLGorilla have TEFL certificates?

Accepted Answer

Many do. You can specify TEFL certification as a requirement in your listing. Candidates who do not meet your stated qualifications typically self-select out. For CELTA or PGCE requirements, state these explicitly in your listing.

Question 3

How much does it cost to post TEFL jobs?

Accepted Answer

Listings start at $39 for a 14-day Starter, $59 for a 30-day Standard listing, or $149 for a Featured 30-day post with top-of-feed placement included.
