🏫 We are looking for host schools for the 2026/27 TESOLounge season!
Would your school be happy to host a TESOLounge session?
All we need is a classroom and a few colleagues who are open to joining the conversation. We'll take care of the rest.
If you are interested, please contact us at [email protected], and we’ll be happy to discuss the details.
We’d love to bring TESOLounge to your school! ☕💬
