What do you think? Will everyone seeking an English teacher understand this?
Please advise. Thank you.

"English Consultant"

ESL = in English-speaking countries (Canada, Ausrtalia)

EFL = in Non-English-speaking countries (Korea, Japan)

EIL = English as an International Language

LOL!!

People teach English in Taiwan and Korea and always refer to themselves as ESL teachers, so I don't know what difference it really makes.

I write "English Teacher," especially when I might be contacting a mixed ESL/EFL audience.
