Welcome English

in Nepal
Breath-taking views with a mix of cultures

Welcome to the 2021 TEFL World Factbook, written by our team of expert TEFL trainers here at The
TEFL Academy

We have created this factbook in order to provide an up-to-date and accurate profile of the
world’s TEFL markets. With so much information available on the internet, it can be difficult for TEFL
teachers to know the full facts. Our team of researchers have pulled information from a variety of
authoritative sources to create the definitive guide to teaching English around the world.

2020 has been a year like no other, the COVID-19 pandemic dominated events globally, and it
would be amiss of us not to mention it! Most of us became very familiar with the word “lockdown”,
dog walking replaced clubbing and millions of people have had to adapt to working from home!
Work patterns were disrupted which resulted in a huge shift to the digital world. With the sudden
closures of schools and institutions, schooling took place online, team meetings meant zoom calls
and a stable internet connection became more vital than ever.

Country Summary
The shift to online learning and teaching largely impacted the EFL industries and the demand for
online TEFL teachers soared! Working remotely means you can do it from anywhere… so whether
you choose to earn an income from the comfort of your mother’s house in the UK, or your flashy
