Program Reviews

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.

I have always wanted to move to another country and teach English but never really knew how to do it. After hearing from 2 of my friends who took the course they convinced me to sign up. I started the course in January and just completed it. I am still working on my final lesson project but expect to be done in the next few days. I would definitely recommend this course. The lessons are very thorough and explain many topics. I thought overall the course was great....it is difficult but very informative. I can't wait to find a job and move to Europe!

I had the chance to take the TEFL course one year ago and I have to say I was satisfied with everything, but a part of me wanted to complete the 450-hour course (which I did) and I have to admit it, the course itself exceeded my expectations, whether you are starting a new career or if you are an experienced teacher (this is for you!!), this course is for everyone who wants to go further and thanks to the 450-course I was able to get the job that I wanted in China and my evaluation was higher than the rest of the teachers who applied for the same position, and this comment is not enough to thank the team at ITTT for the opportunity I was given, their education helped me boost my career to levels I never thought possible, don't hesitate to ask them and take action, they will be there with you all the way and even after you finish, they'll keep sending you information about potential jobs, ITTT will open you the doors to a whole new world!

I was already an English Language Teacher but not skillful before taking the TEFL course. The course refined my teaching techniques like a refined product. It equipped me with the essential teaching tools making me a proficient and skillful English teacher. My students look forward to my class because they always have something new to learn in a dynamic way.
I applied the recommended classroom management in my kid’s class. The result was excellent. The kids became more participating and cooperative. Some of the kids’ parents asked me for extra class for their kids I guess because they can’t get enough of me.. This has made my teaching career refreshing, rewarding and easy.

One of my favorites is the way tenses and grammars are taught in the course. It shows the practical approach to teach them and the real life situation to use them making the knowledge sink into the students consciousness. For example in unit four, I learned the usage of simple present tense and expected errors from students. The activate teaching stage is exceptionally useful and wonderful, it helps the teacher to guide the students to practice the present tense using tips such as : find someone who..., a day in the life of.., questionnaires, guess my professions, information-gap. With activities like these students talking time is maximized. My students no longer view grammars as complex, vague, confuse language rules. I feel contented, satisfied and accomplished when my students tell me “you are the best teacher” and I am indebted to TEFL with infinite gratitude for this.

The points covered in the course will make teaching easy and enjoyable even to a novice teacher if applied. It particularly shows how you can plan and deliver your lessons in the classroom. It shows you the step by step way to deliver a topic using activities and tasks that will make the lesson dynamic and and boredom free. With these tasks (cutting of papers, roleplays, gap filling, short questions, conducting surveys, find who etc) there is an active students participation in the language learning making it to be fun instead of the conventional boring lecture type. For example in unit 16. I learned the types of conditionals and that we could cut the various conditional sentences and mixed them together for students to practice their use of conditionals.

I like the part of the course that talks about various classroom situations and how to manage them (Unit 20, Troubleshooting). It discusses warmers which actually work wonders in the classroom. Reluctant students is another one and other real life classroom situations and how to handle them successfully. Kids class are the most difficult class to manage, but with this course it becomes a piece of cake.

After taking the TEFL course, the language institute where I had been working for two years previously in Mexico quickly notice the positive changes in my performance, couple with students positive feedback, I was immediately awarded the best teacher of the month among more than 30 teachers.
Due to the overwhelming impact of the course in my life , I have referred more than five people who successfully paid for the program. I will remain an active promoter and a staunch advocate of TEFL courses.

The TEFL program offers not only a certificate that is known and respected worldwide, but also a professional teaching refinement to make one a capable teacher even those from non education background like me. That is why schools worldwide use it as a recruitment benchmark. Besides the TESOL certificate is a visa to tour the world with dignity because you have something important the world need.

I completed both the TEFL and Teaching Business English Course. I really enjoyed taking the online course. It worked perfectly with my schedule and my instructor was good at giving constructive and helpful feedback. I was able to take my time completing the different tasks required, which further enhanced my learning process. After my course, I taught English abroad. I was also able to apply the lessons I learned with my courses while I worked abroad.

I enjoyed the 60-hour course so much - that towards the end, though I was nervous (for the final evaluation), I found myself wishing I had signed on for the 120-hour course! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to improve their ESL teaching skills and methods. I especially appreciate the ESA method, and being challenged to elicit learning from the students themselves (as opposed to teaching it to them). The videos of real-life lessons were insightful and fun! I downloaded all the Units so that I can refer to them anytime. The proforma lesson plan is superb and forces you to plan your lesson well.

A great and exciting course with an insight into the way teaching methods are formed, lots of examples, including a real-life class and extraordinarily rich vocabulary. A transparent test system. Hope to make life-changing improvements with this new adventurous professional experience! The tips covered by this course are useful in my experience as an ESL teacher in China, which is important to me now that I've been hired abroad.
