Co-founder & Director @Gotoco - Tefl Teacher Training & Global Work-Travel Placements & Teaching Fellowships

Oxford, GB

We promote global student mobility, cultural exchange, and teacher training fellowships -helping our participants gain meaningful international work experience and delivering Ofqual grade training to them along the way.Since 2011, we have enabled over participants to take part in placements all over the world.We think it is important that global mobility adventures are financially accessible to all. To support this, we minimise fees and provide a significant number of 100% fee-free spots, we also offer low-cost placements tailored to HE/FE organisation\'s needs -where fees are capped at the Turing Scheme amounts for WP learners -to ensure WP students aren\'t required to fund anything extra!Our name, Gotoco, reflects our mission—we aim to be the \"go-to\" for anyone looking to \"go to\" a global adventure. Following the dictionary definition: a \"go-to\" is someone or something that is regularly chosen for the best results!For our first decade, we focused on China, drawn to its culture, global significance, and dynamic role in world affairs and economies.Our leadership team established Green Up to add green skills programmes to our activities, and then FE Further Afield -to champion FE organisations in internationalisation and global mobilities.Our work has been recognised with multiple accolades:Finalists in the 2019 China Social Impact Awards, organised by the British Chamber of Commerce in China in partnership with the United Nations, for fostering a community of young China-watchers and supporting educational institutions.Finalists in the British Youth Travel Awards for Best Educational Product, recognising our commitment to TEFL and education in China.Gold Star Host Status for providing summer internships to students from Oxford University.To learn more about our programmes, visit
