The TEFL Graveyard is a place to kick back and relax with a can of Special Brew (optional) and reflect on the often deeply peculiar underworld of Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It is a space crammed with unfulfilled dreams of liberation, wistful recollections of petty glories, interspersed with many a frankly odd episode.

A satirical view of dodgy UK English language schools

$trictly 4 my T.E.A.C.H.E.R.Z. was created with the idea of making a different kind of English teaching blog. One that presents quality materials but with a little extra added flavor. With a little swag, if I may say so. Hence the blinged-out banner at the top of the page.

As a dedicated learner, I am committed to and very serious about my role as a teacher. I love my job but it often drives me crazy.
