At Bridge-Linguatec, all of our teachers are university
graduates with at least 2 years of teaching experience
and/or certification in TEFL or CELTA. Beyond their credentials,
however, is a deep passion for teaching and a genuine
desire to see their students succeed. Every teacher knows
their students by name and this creates a friendly and
open learning atmosphere.
