Program Reviews

This course was so much fun to take! Larry and David are so informative and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend taking this course, especially if you want to teach in Japan. You will have to study though so be prepared to work!

Larry and Dave are amazing people and great teachers! The course is held in a cozy and laid back house. The class size is typically 3-5 people. Larry owns an English school a block from the house where you teach private tutoring sessions. You also go to a high school, preschool and 2nd graders. We had varied experiences with many ages which was a huge help.

Dave and Larry are amazingly supportive and experienced ESL teachers whose guidance on this course on teaching English to foreign learners aided me greatly towards my future teaching career.

From day one to graduation, this intensive program continued to give us a lot of preparation with education strategies, grammar, and hands-on experience with teaching Japanese students.

The teachers are very organized and give us a lot of helpful activities to do. We're put in the shoes of our students so we can get a better mindset of how they would learn English themselves. This is very helpful when we begin preparing our lesson plans and begin to find our own students outside of the classroom.

Overall, I give this program a 10/10 because this is the kind of top notch quality in teaching that I've always wanted in a TESOL course.

This course was very informative. I thought as a native English speaker this class would be simple. I quickly learned that I had a lot to learn. The amount of topics covered (IPA, methods, grammar, lesson plans, real practice, ect) was very educational. I especially enjoyed the grammar section. Now that I completed this course I am much more confident in my ability to teach English abroad.

I enjoyed this course a lot. I learned a lot as well as getting lots of teaching experience with different age groups and in a lot of different classroom situations. The instructors were very helpful with helping us find TEFL jobs, even giving us example resumes and cover letters. I would take this class again in a heartbeat.

It was a lot of fun and I was able to learn and hopefully grow as a teacher. I look forward to becoming a teacher and hopefully everything that I have learned guides me to become the teacher I have always dreamed I would be.

I took the 120 hour course with tutor and video support. I found the course to be informative and interesting although a little difficult in parts. The course units flow smoothly and I felt each topic was explained in a clear way. I contacted my tutor a couple of times throughout the course and always received a quick response which was very helpful.

Hi, everyone, I took the TESOL and TEFL training with ITT the 120 hours course and since the first material I got I had acces to a very important information for me as a teacher, for just the second Unit I had in my hands a very cleared information about the function of each word in English speech so I was thrilled. I want to say that I highly recommend this course, I learned about methodologies, strategies, techniques to apply with my students in a very well summarized material which had the necessary points to start my path as an English teacher.
Although I just have to say that I'm not a native speaker of English but I consider myself well experienced in the English field to say that, we latinamerican teachers can also travel abroad and be well ambassadors of the English language, so I was really surprised when all the requisits for teaching English abroad that promoted my course were only for native speaker, I was kind of dissapointed of that. It seems that we have to find our own way in the Teaching Abroad Path.Thank you so much for everything.

My TEFL learning experience in Tokyo was the best experience I had. At first I never thought that I could ever be into teaching and being an English teacher, but through TEFL they honed me to become competitive, responsible, professional teacher that I am and will be.

TEFL Tokyo does not only teach you how to be an effective CLT, but they also give you experiences by getting you exposed from pre-school English learners up to college student learners. They expose you to the different environment that you may be put into when you become an English teacher in Japan.

I learned a lot from Dave and Larry, starting from the things that I had difficulty with when I was in high school to the things that I may use when I go out there and teach. They equipped me with the knowledge and experience that I will use throughout my career.

Larry and Dave is not just an instructor but also a friend. They may be strict at times, but it's all tough love. They care so they want you to work your butts off and be the best that you can ever be. :)

This program was excellent! I absolutely enjoyed this course from beginning to end, and I felt like I learned a whole lot too! Dave and Larry were quite entertaining teachers in pulling me through learning everything about what it means to be an English teacher! I feel like I totally brushed up on all of my skills that I learned up this point in order to become an excellent and professional English teacher! The whole experience felt a bit difficult and demanding, but overall, I definitely recommend it! Go ahead and take this course, and you'll surely won't be disappointed!
