ITTT TEFL June 2015 Review

I liked the course a lot. It helped to put the struggles of an English learner into perspective. Dave and Larry care a lot about their students and provide you with all of the tools necessary to get your certification and a functional knowledge of English.

What would you improve about this program?
I would like to have been able to experience teaching a larger group of students rather than simply one or two at a time.

TEFL TOKYO REVIEW

I had a whale of a time on this course. I'd studied at university beforehand but found many of the 'input' sessions far more involving and entertaining than those I'd experienced while at university. Both course leaders were very laid-back and approachable, and had good senses of humour too. I'll think of this course every time I hear the word 'dude' from now on.

There is a fair amount of homework involved, but unless you're an imbecile you'll likely manage it. I learned a great deal about the teaching process, and many incidental facts along the way too.

MINT COURSE PLEASE DO IT xo

A valuable learning experience like no other!

Thank you ITTT!

I really enjoyed my teachers on the TEFL course in Tokyo that I took in March-2015. It turned out to be well worth the value and chalk full of knowledge about the English Language that I will certainly incorporate into my future lessons! I feel much more confident in explaining the intricacies of English to my students, not matter where they are at on their journey of language acquisition.

This course is awsome!

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!

Great teachers

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.

My Awesome Tokyo TEFL International Experience!

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.

What would you improve about this program?
More hands-on experience with students!

I learned so much!

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 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.

Questions & Answers

Hi Martin, the course is available to anyone who is in the country and able to attend. https://www.teflcourse.net/tefl-courses-locations/japan/tok… Entry to many countries is difficult at the current time. Please check for up to date information from the embassy/consulate of any country that you wish to visit.

It really depends on who you are teaching and where. TEFL/TESOL courses provide teaching methods and resources for teaching English to speakers of other languages. A BA Education will be a requirement if you are teaching English in an English speaking country.

Hi Steve, you can apply for the jobs that you want after completing one of our courses. Our admin staff will assist you to find a range of employers, recruiters, and schools.

Hi Bryan, the only language required in the classroom is English.
