About us
Mission
We at TESOL SA provide training and education services and products of the highest possible quality in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
Director of Studies: Mark Kerruish
Mark Kerruish taught English to speakers of other languages for seven years. During these years he taught people from just about every country on Earth. His experience ranges from factory floor lessons to work for the diplomatic community; from refugees to nuclear engineers to CEOs.

To this day, Mark is regularly contracted as an invigilator for a prestigious American organisation.

From March 2005 he was contracted as a consultant TEFL lecturer for the Cape Town TEFL Training Institute. In 2006, Mark was responsible for introducing the distance learning TEFL programme and in 2008 was the driving force behind introducing the 120-hour TESOL programme.

Mark set up TESOL SA in April 2009 believing that training in the field must be more than merely adequate; it must be exceptional.
What others have said

"I signed up for a TEFL course in January 2008. Mark Kerruish was the course facilitator. The course was great because Mark put in every effort into making it interesting. The classes were in the evenings and no matter how tired I was after work I looked forward to my TEFL class. Mark made this course an excellent experience... it's worth every penny.

Soon after I finished the TEFL course I came to South Korea. I expected that I would just teach, but it turned out that I had to write a book of lesson plans for the whole year ahead! I had to plan a syllabus. I was petrified!! I didn't even know where to start with this. I contacted Mark to help me. He immediately agreed and started with the book.

A week later I had a book in my hand which covered 28 comprehensive lesson plans of 40 minutes each. I'm in my 2nd year of teaching and I use this book every day. This book not only contains lessons to teach children how to speak English, it helps the teacher to bring out confidence in the classroom. It's a great book with excellent lessons for the teacher and I recommend it to anyone. I don't for an instant regret taking that TEFL course and Mark is one of the best lecturers I have had in my life. He made stuff simple and easy to understand. Not only is he a very good lecturer, but also approachable and never hesitates to help.
I am forever grateful. Thank you Mark!"

"I attended a TEFL course in Port Elizabeth which was conducted by Mark Kerruish. I would just like to commend you on an excellent course, both in content and quality of instruction. The course was not only very informative but also loads of fun."

"I want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the course and think that Mark is absolutely fantastic. Not once did I feel at all bored and was actually a little deflated when it was over! Thank you so much for everything!"
Kind regards
