Hi, I'm James Gillmon.

I founded TEFL Fullcircle in 2015 with one simple sample goal: to help people change their lives through teaching English.

There was no outside investment, no large team and no marketing agency. Just a belief that online teacher training could be delivered with honesty, great support and qualifications that genuinely helped people achieve their goals.

Over the last ten years, I've personally built TEFL Fullcircle from the ground up, supporting more than 70,000 learners from around the world.

Like many growing businesses, we experimented with different ways to reach new learners, including via investment marketplaces. They helped introduce thousands of people to TFC — but for us, that was an important part of our journey.

Today, however, our vision is different.

We are investing in better learning experiences, AI-powered teaching support, recognised qualifications and a professional pathway that supports learners throughout their careers — not just their first course.

That's why we've partnered with Conversant to help grow, while continuing to focus on what has always mattered most: quality learning, outstanding support and helping people do meaningful career-teaching English.

Every student who joins TFC Fullcircle becomes part of our community. Whether you're taking your very first 40-hour course or working towards our Level 5 UK Government-regulated Level 5 Diploma, we're committed to supporting your journey every step of the way.

As we grow, we also want to give something back. Our aim is to donate £5 from every eligible course enrolment to charitable causes that improve access to education and opportunities around the world. As our community grows, so will our impact.

Thank you for supporting an independent business that was born with real passion, real ideas and a passion for helping others.

I hope you'll enjoy our community and be part of the next chapter in the TEFL Fullcircle story.
