Travel & Teach - Finland

Overview

If you are thinking about spending the long Finnish summer evenings relaxing after your TEFL classes then this page is the place to start planning your adventure.  

English is in demand in Finland, despite the fact that Swedish is officially Finland’s second language. This owes much to the demand from the business community and the fact that the standard of living is high and many can afford the luxury of private English classes. The standard of English teaching in the state sector is good across Scandinavia and so again, it would be wise to have a TESOL with business to target this sector.  Work is likely to be on a self-employed, contractual basis.

TEFL tips for teaching English in Finland:

The courses we would recommend for Austria are:

• the TESOL Advanced Course 150 hours for Europe
• the 30-hour Business TESOL for Finland, as Business English is really important here.
