Program Reviews

The trainers were excellent.

It can be overwhelming but trust the process. It is worth the pressure, because without pressure diamonds cannot be formed.

A motivating factor in deciding to take the TEFL certification was obtaining an Internatioanlly recognized certification that will allow me to travel and teach globally.

After taking this course, I am confident in teaching English and feel I can learn along the way the necessary components to excel as a teacher.

My opinion of Guadalajara is that I love the weather and people here.

Although the course was intense, it is legitimate and helpful in developing teaching skills, especially for those with no experience, and has prepared me to accept a job offer at a school that I really like.

I love Guadalajara!
Legitimate, Credible, and would ensure assistance in finding a job (which is helpful when in a foreign country) I considered the online course for the price, but I´d rather do in-person.

The deciding factors in choosing ITTO: in-person in the target country, as well as the hours of observed teaching practice for experience.

If you love to teach English, you definitely have to take this course. I'm so happy because I have gotten my TEFL certification!.
It was in my bucket long time ago. I made it!. It wasn't easy working night shifts, then stay up late to study, and doing assignments.
It has been a great experience!. It's a well - designed course, instructions and tasks are clear, you can see your progress on the platform, you'll love each content, and tasks , where you'll acquire important learning steps in your lesson plan to obtain a successful, and motivated class, and develop learning process based on learning styles, which is so important for our students as well as prompt and thoughtful tutor feedback.
Thank you so much!

A well-designed course with prompt and thoughtful tutor feedback. The platform shows you how far you have progressed through each unit, which is a little thing that is extremely helpful in keeping learners motivated and pushing forward through the course. The questions and tasks throughout the course also ensure that students are processing the information and putting it into practice. Thorough and covers fundamentals such as learning styles, lesson planning, etc. as well as other issues that are important for actual classroom teaching, like grouping and classroom discipline.

I just finish my certification course, and it feels great!!!, this course has more than what I was expecting, I learned so many things, and I feel totally ready to start teaching, I highly recommend it, each stage of the course has excellent content. I want to thank my tutor, Mary Ann Johnson, for all her feedback and support and the extra resources.
There are a lot of advantages of online learning, and this course provides enough time to complete at your own pace from the comfort of your house,

I completed the TEFL course recently and I highly recommend it!
It covers all aspects of teaching and every topic ends with a writing assignment that helps you to test your new knowledge. The tutor responds very quickly, provides good feedback and a lot of additional resources.
Before I started the course I was worrying if an online course can prepare me well for teaching in a classroom. But yes, it did prepare me very well! I learned so much from this course and I feel like I am now more confident and prepared to create my own lesson plans and teach English as a second language.
I like the fact that you can add specialty courses to the main program and there is additional time to complete them.

I absolutely loved the certification course. I took the advanced program of 140 hours and I found all of its contents to be very important to teach ESL successfully. My tutor, Susan Gammage, was always available to answer questions and she was wonderful giving feedback and tons of teaching resources.
On the downside, I've found it really hard to find a job because practically every school and company overseas requires a native English speaker with a passport and I'm Mexican. I wish I would've known this before.

I took this TEFL course earlier this year. Guadalajara is a great place to visit and teach if you like large, historic cities. There are many teaching opportunities in Guadalajara and Mexico after you finish the course. I really enjoyed the small class size and supportive staff. The course itself was challenging enough to prepare me for teaching but also left enough free time and energy to explore the city. The teaching practice at ITTO's partner school is great to practice lesson planning and making the trainees feel more comfortable in front of the class. Since completing the course I have been living and teaching in Guadalajara and recommend it for anyone interested in teaching!
