Program Reviews

I learned much from the course of study and I consider this to be true value for the price. My only frustration was the final exam/lesson plan phase. Expectations were not always crystal clear and there was often misinterpretation of what was submitted. Otherwise, it was a great experience. This was not an EASY certificate to earn. It was challenging and informative throughout, but not difficult. The videos were also helpful to me when taking notes and trying to learn/remember material. I would definitely recommend this course to others!

Steven Jacobson provides insight, guidance, and careful mentoring of those in the program. His professionalism, knowledge, and personal contributions to the field of education are not to be missed. Steven provided immediate and useful feedback during teaching sessions. He is sensitive to both future teacher and learner of a foreign language needs. Future teachers are directed to provide classes for client learners of a foreign language that involve vocabulary, practice, and presentation of interesting, provocative topics to ensure learner interest. Errors are tolerated in future teachers and we are encouraged by Steven to use them to grow in our teaching skills.

I am a happy customer of ITTT. At first, I was skeptical if I would get enough information in order to to become and English language Teacher, but when I started the course, I was surprised how much information the material contained for a fraction of the price! Actually, it was a bit challenging to me to learn the material and pass all the tests, and of course, I had to put time and effort into the studying the course to finish it successfully. As a result, I have received an excellent grade thanks to the great support and feedback from the staff as well as helpful video lessons included with this 120-hour course! I am very pleased with the course and will recommend it to my friends!

This course made getting my TEFL as fun and convenient as possible. The instructor provided timely, in-depth feedback via email, and the course assignments were quality and applicable to real-life situations. Not too easy or too difficult. After finishing, I jumped right into an ESL teaching job with confidence and a good grasp of basic skills (not having any knowledge in this area before taking the course). Overall, professional and manageable. I would definitely recommend this program.

I am from the USA but currently living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had been working for a friend (who has an English institute), giving English conversation classes. Once I started working towards my TEFL certification, I was able to be hired by another institute and given a job at a software company, teaching English to the employees. Since my Spanish isn't very strong, I found the structure of lesson planning to be very useful in my classes. I learned a lot about how to build lessons and establish rapport with my students through the TEFL course, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to make some extra money while traveling abroad. The online version was the right fit for me, and you can't beat the price. Overall, I have had a positive experience with the ITTT TEFL online course.

I took the ITTT TEFL course in 2013 when I was teaching English in South Korea. For me, it was a superb complement to my teaching. Most take the course prior but since I took it during the time I was teaching, I felt as if I could hone my skills even more with recommendations, exercises and readings from the course. In addition, what was brilliant was that I was given a complimentary 50-hour CTEYL course along with the TEFL. I was teaching children and teenagers at the time and, because I had never taught prior to this, it really helped me as far as keeping young learners engaged and presenting the language in an engaging way so that they could enjoy the learning process.

Fast forward to 2014 and, because of my experience in Korea but additionally, because of my TEFL course, aspects such as lesson planning and grammar review served me in good stead as I got a job teaching adult speakers of other languages in Miami. I had previous experience learning grammar and vocabulary, etc in my native Trinidad where I attended primary and high school, but having the grammar review from the ITTT TEFL course helped me to be able to explain it to students. In fact, during my interview for this job, I was asked to explain some grammar concepts.

Thank You ITTT TEFL for your superior programmes and the support from instructors who check the assignments given. I would and have highly recommended your programmes to others.

Sincerely,

Rachael David

The course material are in turns of grammar and teaching techniques are excellent. So easy to comprehend and then explain to the students. Also included video were very useful to give examples for teaching techniques. Great support and feedback from the staff review the assessments during the course. I would recommend it 100% to anyone willing to get TEFL certificate and teach overseas. I have used it to teach young people that were struggling to understand the English grammar and it was great.

I am very happy that I found this course. I wanted to get a TEFL certification, but wasn't able to travel to take an onsite course, so the online one was a great option, also very reasonably priced. I must mention though that I was already rather experienced in teaching at the time I took the course, and needed more of a refresher and an acknowledgement of my expertise. Although very well structured, with meaningful content, I am not sure how the online course would work for an absolute beginner. And that wouldn't be because the knowledge is not enough, but it is better to have some hands on onsite experience to maximize the learning experience. That being said, if the online course was so well structured and helpful, I can only imagine that the onsite one is even better.

I was looking to take a TEFL course but was living in an area that lacked resources and internet in Peru. I was able to take the course on my own time, which made it easy to go find WiFi during my time off and complete the course! The materials are continually accessible, which is nice when I find a need for them in my current job! I actually feel prepared and ready to teach English as a foreign language thanks to them!

I joined this TEFL course to further enhance my International Education experience and it definitely did that! I learned way more than I expected in that month and upon graduation felt competent to teach English anywhere in the world. They are very good at preparing you for any situation that could happen in your classroom and exceptional at teaching you to create your own materials. The staff is incredible and I made lifelong friends through this program. I love that I can now confidently say that I know how to teach. My favorite moments definitely came from the people I met through the program in Seville. The Spanish students and the staff made the experience unforgettable. This program helped me get a job in study abroad back in the states and whenever I tell employers about my TEFL experience they are very impressed. Go to Seville if you can; the people, food, and beauty are unrivaled.
