I loved this course!

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.

What would you improve about this program?
I would make the description on the website more accurate. I enjoyed the class, but it was nothing like what the website described.

TEFL course Feb 2015

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.

Good course

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.

What would you improve about this program?
I felt like some feedback on the lesson plans would have been helpful as a specific and detailed lesson plan is required at the end of the course before the course can be fully completed. My only major gripe is that I was promised a free Business English course at the end which I never received any information about.

Great Information and a guide for English teachers

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.

What would you improve about this program?
Well I took the course with video and tutor, I would say the video part for me wasn't very necessary and sometimes would be a repetition of what's on the written units, and also I consider that student could make their own research about the subjects they're learning, so I would have prefer to have paid less for the course because the extra paid I did wasn't really necessary fo me.

TEFL Tokyo 2015

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. :)

TEFL Is Awesome!

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!

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps make the program start a little later at around 9AM, and make the workload slightly less demanding, but other than that it is all good.

TEFL 120 hours

The TEFL 120hour course is a user friendly program me and the videos are succinct and cover the main areas in sufficient depth.As a first language speaker it helped me to realize how much we take for granted.It is only when you are faced with teaching English as an additional language that you realize how difficult it is to explain concepts at this level.The course taught me a lot about the fundamentals of English that have become very rusty.The suggested activities are very helpful,varied and encourage participation by the students.

What would you improve about this program?
More attention could be given to the structure and expectations of the lesson plans.More practical lesson observations showing the teaching of the difficult concepts.

Good basic beginner course

This course was very basic and great for beginners or those new to teaching. The lessons are simple and direct and easy to complete. I liked how I could complete each lesson in about an hours time. It has always been difficult for me to study online but this course made the information clear and simple. I would have liked more practical examples of lesson plans to have more practice in formulating my own or to see how others do it, as that is the biggest challenge I face.

What would you improve about this program?
The videos in this program could be improved. They are not very interactive or practical, simply a review of what you have already studied. It would be great if they were examples of how to put into practice in a real classroom setting as an instructor. There were very few of those videos.
