About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On a mission to change how ESL studies are conducted in the world.

ABOUT ME

Hello World!
My name is Felicia Braverman, I am currently traveling Asia, researching English schools for future ESL teachers. I am on a mission to find the best of the best, on both ends. I started www.TeachBrave.com with three former ESL teachers. In our experience teaching abroad, we wanted to see something different in the Educational systems. We wanted better communication between teachers, who were qualified to teach, with schools who valued that education. In the international shuffle of applications and deadlines, we witnessed unqualified teachers joining schools and teaching students who deserved better. We also saw teachers joining seemingly trustworthy programs and schools, and get fully taken advantage of. We want this to change! This is the driving force behind TeachBrave's philosophy.

Now, we are out in the world, shaking up these dated programs, and connecting deserving teachers with high-quality schools. Plain and simple.

If you're interested to learn more, please browse our site, and we hope to see you our in the world soon!
Cheers,
Felicia
