50k Alumni Video Contest Videos

Celebrating a Community of 50,000 Certified Teachers

In May of 2025, International TEFL Academy ran a video contest to celebrate reaching 50,000 TEFL certified alumni. Showcasing how teaching English abroad and online has impacted their lives, we received many amazing submissions from our alumni community. Entrants were asked to submit a video highlighting an extra word or phrase that they would add to our slogan, "Teach. Travel. Explore."  

In our fifteen years in business, it has always been our students and alums who keep our team going, and it was wonderful to watch how so many of our students have gone on to change lives around the world. Thanks to all of our alumni who submitted videos for this contest.

Congrats to Ta'Mia Fannin (Grand Prize Winner), Ray Davis (2nd Prize Winner), and Frank Adams (3rd Prize Winner) for coming out on top.
