Teach English in Italy with LanguageCorps

This program is actually run through Via Lingua TEFL, not Language Corps directly. The course itself is ok, very time consuming and it doesn't leave you a lot of free time to explore the city. The troubling aspect is the job support program which is nearly non-exsistant. Many people from my program struggled in finding employment after the course-- and this is after repeated assurances on their website about the job market being good and almost 90% of their graduates being employed shortly after graduating the course.

After seeing the care and attention of the instructors toward their students, I was convinced this was one of the best decisions I ever made. The course was very intensive and full of hard, challenging work. But the practical experience and job guidance we received on a daily basis was worth every penny! I started teaching real students almost immediately and gained some very valuable connects at every turn.

I had an incredible experience with Language Corps and Via Lingua Florence! The staff was SO accommodating and helpful in the transition of moving to a foreign country, and with school work during the course. The course was very difficult, but manageable for one month. I learned a lot about my own language, the Italian language and culture, etc. I got a job from a recommendation of a staff member. I work with children at a private English studio, and LOVE it!! I work about 15-20 hours a week, and make more than enough to pay rent and buy food every month. I was very happy with my experience with Via Lingua, and I would highly recommend the program.

My experience with LanguageCorps was one that I will always look back on with fondness. In 2009 I chose LanguageCorp to enroll in an TEFL certification course in Florence, Italy. LanguageCorp took care of everything that I needed, from setting up my housing in Florence, helping me figure out transportation to and from the school, to helping me develop a great CV.
I had an amazing time meeting and spending time with my classmates from all over the world! We not only emerged ourselves in Italian culture, be we were able to learn from each other as well. We had a great time in and out of class.
During my training, my instructors were easily accessible outside of class for extra help and were patient with me as I learned all of the grammatical ins and outs of the English language that we native speakers sometimes take for granted. Earning my TEFL certification was not difficult, but it was challenging at times, which helped me to stretch and grow as a person. Having my TEFL certification is a great asset to have and opens up opportunities for continued travel and additional income. I couldn't be happier that I chose to follow my heart and go places I had always wanted to go!
