TESL

Hello, teachers:
Is it idiomatic and right to say " He is a TESL teacher." if he teaches people who live in an English- speaking country, but whose first language is not English.

Thanks for your confirmation.

Yes, though "an ESL teacher" is better because the "T" stands for "teacher/teaching".
