Worth your Money, Time and Learning

I'm a graduate of business course but fell in love with teaching. Though mostly my job is online , one on one tutoring I felt I have so much given love and passion to my students so I decided to improve what I know in teaching by taking TESOL Program. This course online is very comprehensive and worth your money and time. No regrets taking the 120 hour online course. The questions every after the unit were helpful to test your comprehension. I had struggle answering the Lesson Plan I missed a lot but the tutor support were responsive and I made it. Thanks ITTT. You guys are a blessing in disguise.

What would you improve about this program?
No for the program but I hope they can boost employment for non native speakers.

My online TEFL course experience:- Pathway to success in my professional career development

Overall, I really benefited a lot from the online TEFL course i did with ITTT. Even though it was done online, it provided all the materials and resources that consequently flowed throughout my course experience in about a week and some days. The course contained detailed resources that covered major aspects of what a TEFL teacher could expect to see in their classrooms, the different learning styles, the different learner approaches and most importantly the classroom management techniques to use to cater for the needs of the english learners in the classroom. previously before commencing on the online TEFL course with ITTT, i had been teaching English to middle school students in Bolivia, South America and i experienced difficulties in using varied strategies to cater to the needs of my english students and as a result it also affected the classroom management but after having completed the online TEFL course program, i learnt different learning approaches and strategies to use and implement in the classroom to help my english learners which in turn also improved the management of my classroom. With the comprehensive knowledge and lesson plan feedback that i got from completing my online TEFL course i am able to use it currently with my students here in Mexico and it has produced positive results so far.

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe by providing a virtual guide online to give a brief over view of the units being covered throughout the course. Also, providing an extension opportunity to the course for in teaching training practice for the newly qualified TEFL/TESOL teachers to have real life teaching in a classroom setting.

Online TEFL/TESOL Course

This program was very thorough and helpful. It breaks down all aspects of TEFL very succinctly into 20 modules and gives very clear instruction. I felt prepared after this course to go into the classroom and positively impact my students. I didn't opt for interaction with the tutor during the modules, but I could easily see how this would have enriched my experience even more. For the lesson plan section, here's my best tip! Be exhaustive in your detail of the all the activities and rationales behind them. The graders want to see your thought process and get in your head. The course was incredibly affordable, and I would definitely recommend it as a dependable, credible, and flexible option for gaining TESOL/TEFL certification.

What would you improve about this program?
I think this program could be improved with the inclusion of more media, both in graphics and instructional videos. Many people taking the course are audio-visual learners, and the inclusions of charts, memory aids, graphics, and additional instructional videos would be incredibly helpful.
For example: When giving game ideas for classrooms, maybe have some optional videos included to show how to run games properly in the classroom

Great Course Coverage and preparation for teaching journey

This course was interesting and insightful with the study syllabus clearly and easily presented. The knowledge learnt from it was very useful in helping me designing my classes and tailoring it to fit my students. It allowed me to be able to teach in a group setting and for one-on-one tutoring as well. The resources provided in the reading list encouraged me to continue with my own passion in teaching and improving my teaching skills.
The best part was the simple ways they present their Grammar Units, making it easy for me to understand.

What would you improve about this program?
The final exam write-up for classes can include an exam component for teaching a student one-on-one. I feel that aside from teaching plans for a group setting, having us try out a student plan for one-on-one coaching is useful :)

Informative & Affordable

I took the ITTT online course because of my interest in teaching overseas, and found the program through a Groupon, not knowing what I was really signing up for. After many lessons later, I found my knowledge of teaching materials and methods expanded further beyond my practical experience (I taught elementary schools in NY). The information that is provided in this course can help start newcomers by giving them a good footing and sound strategies to work with, or as in my case, it can provide experienced professionals with more tools to add to their inventory and promote you to an even more effective teacher.

I recommend this course to anyone that is interested in teaching (whether it be overseas, or in the states), and to anyone who is also looking for a good deal on informational teaching courses.

What would you improve about this program?
I would suggest better feedback from the instructors to the students, in the form of: quicker response time, and more detailed assistance with issues that may arise.

Quick and Easy

The 120 TEFL online course is not groundbreaking, but it does cover the basics for teaching ESL. As someone who did not go to university for teaching, but is very comfortable in the classrooom, this course gave me the language and understanding for why I do what I do in my classes. Overall, the material was easy to understand and the quizzes were not difficult. This program is a quick and easy supplement to your teaching experience abroad, but I'm not sure how essential it is in regards to getting a teaching job.

What would you improve about this program?
The material could have more depth. I also remember being confused about the final lesson plan submission. Clearer guidelines would be helpful.

Passport to a new life experience.

I opted for the ITTT online course as a "safe" option when I first considered teaching overseas.
I found the course to be structured in a way that was easy to follow, and challenging yet not too difficult. The course actually challenged me to think more critically about my first language, as well as how people learn. Along the way I had a few questions about the course content as well as working overseas. From my experience, the help and support has been first rate and my contact at ITTT was very knowledgeable.
My ITTT qualification opened up more teaching opportunities that I would have otherwise had. It allowed me to find the perfect job, in the country of my choice.
4 years later I am still travelling and working overseas.
My ITTT qualification has proven to be my Passport to a new life experience.

ITTT 120 Online TEFL Certification Course

The course was really good. Their course fees are reasonable. It helped me re learn things that I have learned while I was in school. It also made me learn new things and strategies for teaching and lesson planning. Most of all the certification from this course opened the doors for me into the teaching profession and has changed my life for the better! I recommended their course to some friends of mine and they are also happy that they took it. Presently, I am working on a diploma course with ITTT Online TEFL Course.

ITTT

In my opinion, studying the TESOL online course preparation changed my classes. I used to teach in the traditional way, the teaching talking time was about the 85% of the while the students talking time was reduced. In this course I also learned how to catch the attention of the majority of the students and how to make the classes more interesting. As the world becomes more interconnected, it is increasingly important to build connections through language. Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a six-course minor that provides essential training for the challenging task of teaching the English language at home or abroad in private language schools, community centers or bilingual programs, and in other contexts that do not require state certification.

What would you improve about this program?
May be with more support and pronter answers.

Affordable and straightfoward

iTTT Online TEFL Course is good. It covers most subjects necessary for someone to be a TEFL Teacher and it's based on a specific TEFL methodology - ESA -, although it also mentions other ones. The course is pretty straightfoward, easy to comprehend and very affordable. Being an online course, it's possible to study at our own pace (within a certain timeframe, of course). The one I got has tutor support and video lessons, which was great. I'd recommend it.
