An Opportunity Worth Taking

Everyday I learned something new. The first three days learning a new language gave me a great understand of where some of my future students may be coming from. The teacher was willing to answer any of my questions. Many chances were given to practice my personal english grammar skills and to teach real adult ESL students. The teacher was very supportive and patient towards me. Even though I'm a native English speaker, I came into the class worried if my English skills were good enough. I am now leaving with several new friendships, including my supporting teacher, and a new confidence of being able to teach English.

What would you improve about this program?
More teaching in long term curriculum planning.

Very Good Course

I thought the course was very valuable to take in a classroom with the opportunity to teach real students everyday. I like how that we were able to learn classroom structures and how to teach and then apply it and practice it everyday. It definitely made my commute worth it and I feel more confident that I can actually teach in a classroom after taking this course.

What would you improve about this program?
I wish there were more students available that we can teach because usually there were only one to three each day.

Everything You'll Need

This course is excellent and extremely practical. After the first two or three days of introduction you receive at least 30 minutes of teaching practice every day. You will also be reintroduced and reminded of grammar points invaluable to your teaching. I had never taught a day in my life before taking the course in New York, and now I am confident I will excel in my new job in Japan. We were given ideas for techniques, not only to most effectively teach, but enjoyably in a modern setting.

What would you improve about this program?
I would have liked more information on the methodology of long-term class planning (curriculum planning).

Systematized learning

The 120 hr course perfectly cater to the needs of people who have teaching background and even those who have flair for teaching. Excellent course material has helped me to improve my teaching skills. My students always enjoy games suggested in unit 12. I recommend to my friends to go with this comprehensive program.

What would you improve about this program?
I would like to suggest to upgrade certain videos.

A GOOD START

My life has truly changed after the TEFL Course in Rome. I took the course in July 2013, after my graduation in Languages. In September I found a job involving teaching in an international school and my carrier as a teacher has officially started.
The course formula is really efficient: it covers all the aspects of teaching, expecially methodology and the relationship with the students, and includes an intense training part, which permits you to learn by actually teaching real lessons (from 45 to 90 minutes long). Grammar and phonology are good covered too.

What would you improve about this program?
Some lessons were too late in the afternoon (18:30), which makes them harder for a trainee to bear after his/her morning lessons.

Very helpful

I have taken the 120 hr TESOL/TEFL certificate course + tutor support at ITTT and I am very pleased with it.

Well-organized lessons, good material, helpful videos and great tutoring when needed.

I highly recommend everyone who wants to get started a teaching career.

What would you improve about this program?
I would change some videos recording. In some of them the quality of the image is quite poor or the sound recorded is not good enough to listen to.

TEFL Course in Tokyo

I have learned a lot about being a teacher in this course. There was a lot of theoretical input, but also a good amount of practice. During the course we went to a kindergarten, an elementary school, an university and gave some private lesson, which we planned by ourselves. It was really nice to experience how to teach English to people of different age groups. We have also learned how much work it is to create a lesson plan and how important it is to be well prepared.

my experience

nice course, i learned lots of interesting grammer points and the phonetic alphabet. most importantly i learned how to teach in a classroom setting. the course materials were more than adequate and the course administrator was very helpful. overall i would recommend the course to anyone who wants to be a teacher in general.

What would you improve about this program?
sorry i have no basis for comparison on the content. so the only thing i did not like was my comute.

An Intense, Empowering Course

In one month the course not only gave me the language resources required to teach, but a unique, pragmatic approach to the vocation. The TEFL methodology is soon put into practice, with students teacher their first courses in the second of the four week program. The instructor had much experience, and shared it with the class in a relative manner.

A very fruitful 4 weeks!

I found this course extremely useful. It gave me a express ticket into teaching. Its been over a year since I took this course and I can tell you with more confidence than before that it has helped me grow. True, as other reviewers have mentioned, the course is intensive but the amount of information and experience you gain in all aspects of teaching is unmatched. Also I think the intensive nature of the course helps to give a taste of the busy lives of English teachers!
Our instructor Paulina was amazing! she helped all of us feel comfortable and at ease and provided all the support we needed. I met some wonderful people on this course and learnt a lot. The actual experience of classroom teaching was very educating.
I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a first step into TEFL.

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps if the course were longer, it would give trainees more time to explore the different aspects of teaching.
This course is not Trinity accredited. So check whether the schools you are applying to need a CELTA or Trinity Cert.
