Program Reviews

I have completed the course yesterday. I found the contents useful. Especially the practical examples. I was able to follow the lessons easily, I enjoyed the material and the fact that I could keep a copy of the units for future reference.

Though I am a teacher with a little experience and the course is primarily designed for people with no experience and little to no prior knowledge of language teaching, I found this course to be very comprehensive in getting someone prepared for TEFL/TESOL.
The course's quality, approach and perspective helps people like me because there are units that are great review, there are also new things to be learned and practiced, and reminders of existing weaknesses we may have. The course itself and the teaching ideas offer a solid foundation for inspiration and personal improvement. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get started. I also recommend it to those with some language teaching experience to get some review because sometimes our work environment might channel our teaching techniques in a particular direction and make our approach less broad or flexible, and we therefore need to assess our strengths and weaknesses.

I've completed the basic 120-hour course and the course in teaching business English. Both curriculums were excellent. This courses actually helped me in my doctoral program in adult education.

I attended the September TESOL class in Tokyo. The class was phenomenal! I feel like Dave and Larry (I broke the cycle just for you Dave!) provide you with the skills and knowledge that you need to be the best teacher that you can be. You study everything from classroom management to word classes and phoneme. You also get the opportunity to teach real students and receive feedback on your lessons. They prepare you better than I ever could have expected, and they do so in a way that is engaging, lighthearted and fun.

I know there are cheaper programs out there in more exotic locations, but if you are seriously looking for this to be your career, I would recommend taking the class in Tokyo with Dave and Larry.

Also, the neighborhood is extremely nice. It is safe at all hours of the night, the locals are more than welcoming, and the train station isn't that far away from anywhere else in Tokyo you want to visit. It is a relatively quiet neighborhood with anything that you could want or need from karaoke bars and sushi restaurants, to department stores and umbrella shops. I personally recommend the Kanamachi Style restaurant if you are looking for amazing food and great service.

The course I participated in was the 4 week course in Tokyo where I studied towards the TEFL certification. The course was excellent and both the instructors were fantastic. Their willingness to transfer their knowledge and help those on the course to become fantastic teachers was second to none.

I would highly recommend taking this course with these instructors.

This was an excellent program for someone who is desiring a TESOL/
TEFL certificate and has had little to no experience. The layout, organization, presentation, explanation, and examples were very well done. It was all easy to follow and complete. And the additional helps (lesson plans, connections, job searching, etc.) after completion of the course were an added plus. I have done quick of bit of TESOL teaching but never acquired a certificate. I found this course a good review and solidification, and a relatively painless way to get the certificate I desired. Thank you ITTT for a job well done.

I took the Business Course after I had finished TESOL course a while ago and I wanted to continue with the same group of professionals that I had worked before so I applied for Business Course and Teaching Children. I have just finished Business, and I feel much more confident before I could start my group of Business this semester. Thank you! Looking forward to starting the next course!

I went into this program with passion but nothing else, so to come out of it four months later with the confidence and skills to teach English anywhere in the world is amazing. This school felt like a family to me. They were extremely dedicated not only to helping us succeed in our training but also to helping us adapt to our new lives abroad. The small classes were exactly what I needed to learn, as I was able to ask all the questions I needed and we were all given very individualized attention and feedback. This class was very authentic for the kind of teaching I will be doing and was executed in a way that made me feel comfortable despite learning all new skills in a completely foreign country.

I was at first very skeptical of using an online course for TEFL training; however, the costs of classroom instruction were far out of my budget. As a native English speaker and student of foreign languages myself, I have sought teaching English as a way to help others learn the English language the way in which I have learned foreign languages. The 120-hour TEFL course offered by ITTT has been very comprehensive and often times provides cumulative knowledge from start of the course to the end. Starting from little to no knowledge of the field to completing the course, my confidence in my knowledge and ability to teach have skyrocketed, and I am very happy I chose to talk this online course.

The class of 3 trainees made the 4 wk training much more personal, with much more individual attention that crafted me in to a highly effective and efficient teacher. Each trainer at the facility was very highly skilled in all the areas I trained in, really instilling confidence in my learning and my teaching ability. The staff was top notch, my only concern was the instructions on the assignments because it really created unneeded stress during the final weeks of the training.
