TEFL Certification San Diego California | TEFL USA

Located on the west coast of the U.S.A, San Diego is a southern Californian city with a lot to offer. Not only does it benefit from a Mediterranean style climate but it also has some of the region’s most beautiful beaches where you can make the most of the year-round summer days. Other attractions include Balboa Park, the Mission Bay area and the many museums, galleries, amusement parks and interesting shops and restaurants that are spread around the city. Add to this the city’s proximity to the Mexican border and Los Angeles and you will see why so many people take their TEFL/TESOL course with us in San Diego, California.

First settled by Europeans in 1769, San Diego is known as the ‘birthplace of California’. However, it remained a relative backwater until the railroad connection was completed towards the end of the 19th century. The railroad brought with it an economic and population boom and the 20th century saw the establishment of several naval bases and military installations that have helped San Diego grow into the thriving modern city that it is today.

One of San Diego’s main attractions is Balboa Park, a large area that houses beautiful gardens, miles of pathways, dozens of museums and many other attractions including shops, restaurants, cafes and the San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park is a great place to spend the day and with all it has to offer you are bound to find something to interest and entertain you. On the coast, the Mission Bay area is home to many miles of sandy beaches and there are dozens of delightful islands and islets to explore. It is the ideal place for sailing, swimming and other watersports. Alternatively, it is a great place to sit back, relax and simply soak up the beautiful sunshine.

In downtown San Diego you will find the city’s cultural and entertainment heart known as the Gaslamp Quarter, a rejuvenated historic district where some of the best theaters, galleries and museums can be found. There are also a large number of popular restaurants, bars and shops to suit all tastes and the area is the site for many of the parades that take place during the year including Mardi Gras, the St Patrick’s Day parade and the annual Comic-Con convention. Other popular activities include sunset cruises, whale watching trips and fishing expeditions, while just a little further up the coast is the excellent Legoland California amusement park.
