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.

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.

Tremendous Experience

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.

Excelent

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.

What would you improve about this program?
More information supplied in advance of the courses overview. Even without a schedule it would be nice to know the rough areas of teaching that we would be tackling before we start.

TEFL International Tokyo

The TEFL Course was very well prepared and executed during the 4week intensive in July 2014. I learnt a lot and the senseis Dave and Larry were not only experts but the way they taught the course was very good for me. I had difficulty with my phonics and grammar but the art and ease at which they imparted the skill of understanding for me was awesome.

They made teaching look so easy so i appreciate them very much for spending alot of time with me and my colleagues on the course. The patience and professional criticisms were good and i accepted them because it made me understand more.

Thank you for everything and i will surely be recommending others to you.

My TESOL/TEFL EXPERIENCE

BOBGA MARK.Y

I wish to thank my lead trainer Larry and my course instructor Dave for being a great teacher to me during this course. I appreciate all their efforts and extra times they put in to make me succeed. I cannot forget the extra times my course instructor Dave took to work one on one with me especially in phonetics because he knew I was not good at it. The in-class grammar review and presentation of teaching styles made me feel more certain about the material and gave me new ideas about how it could be presented to students. More to that, this course have thought me how to over prepare for a class by giving me many ideas of how to use a good teacher's language, organize group activities in class and to make the class more interesting and enthusiastic. I'm proud to be a member and holder of TESOL/TEFL certificate.
