About Program

Located on Broadway in the Flatiron Section of Manhattan, our TEFL training center in New York shares the neighborhood with those skyscrapers which have made New York a legendary place. Our school features all possible conveniences: internet access, sound-isolated rooms for undisturbed work, and a great student lounge with a kitchen. There are free beverages (coffee, tea, and water available all day).

Besides learning the theory a teacher needs to know, our teacher trainees instruct actual ESL students over three weeks. Teaching practice is followed by feedback, evaluation, and additional practice of teaching techniques to improve their performance.

We have an excellent employment record for our 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL graduates. If you want a little more, the 220-Hour Master TEFL will create exciting employment opportunities. Our OFQUAL-regulated Level 5 TEFL (equivalent to CELTA) will make you a serious candidate for the highest-paying institutions in the world.

I signed up and paid for a 50 hour online TEFL specializing in teaching young learners. I may well have spent 50 hours emailing the staff and Program Co-ordinator asking for the various modules to be sent to me. Despite my best efforts I am into the second year of this 50 hour TEFL and I can't even get responses to my mails. Weeks and months go by without reply and I'm still waiting for Module 7! They refuse to refund the course fee. I'm waiting a year to complete this course. Its been the biggest waste of time and money I have ever encountered. Save yourself a lot of disappointment and choose a different provider.

What would you improve about this program?

Response from International TEFL Training Institute

Dear Shane Kellegher:

When “Gooverseas” checked your identity, you offered to provide them with all the correspondence that went back and forth between you and our organization over time. Yet, in your complaint you write that you can’t get responses and it takes months to get an answer. Perhaps you dropped out of the course. When you finally returned, we had to reinstate your program which is not done in a minute or two. It is an entire process of several days to reinstate a student. In addition, you seem to forget the phone calls you had with our program advisors. As much as you wish to overlook that, you are a dropout.
You are referring to the program as a waste of time; however, you insist on completing it. We know very well that the Teach Young Learners is an excellent program for TEFL graduates and other teachers. The information contained in the program is of unmatched value for individuals who are experts in adult teaching and want to explore the differences in teaching children. It’s a wealth of information in language skill development of young learners. The examples given in the course are a treasure box for English teachers, and I dare to say that they even brush up the skills of teachers who have taught young learners over the years. To get all of that is to replace two semesters of a high-priced college education with meager $95. You cannot get any lower for the value this program provides you with.
In addition, referring to the information as waste would make me (as a parent of one of your young learners in class) extremely worried.
The strangest part of the story is that we write to you to finish up the young learner program, and you don’t send in your last assignments.

We were a bit apprehensive upon entering this small classroom but that all disappeared the moment our instructor came into the room. She was an absolute delight and so incredibly knowledgeable. The students were so motivated that I really felt at ease with the training. I learned some very valuable skills through the teaching practice and would gladly go through the program again just for that additional real life experience.

Some parts were more difficult than I had anticipated so you really need to study hard and commit to the program 100%. It can be pretty intense for some, especially people who have poor study habits (ahem, me) so if you don't take it upon yourself to also study the materials that aren't covered in class, you will definitely fail. I ended up cramming the 3 days before finals. Not a fun experience as there was a LOT to cover.

Self-motivation is key here. The first week of teaching practice, be prepared to put in a lot of long nights writing lesson plans, creating materials, and rehearsing. Learn your synonyms because you will need them when introducing new vocabulary.

The workload might wear you out but if you put in the effort upfront and try to get it right as early as possible, it will pay off handsomely. All of the interviews and applications I've had so far have asked me to deliver sample lessons so it really helped to already have a few great ones on hand.

Word to the wise, your co-teacher/partner might have a non-native accent. Get used to it quickly because you'll have the same situation when teaching abroad.

What would you improve about this program?

More of the materials that made it to the exam should be covered in class.

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Of all the places I visited during my trips, Peru was one of the most impressive. Although most people I met were poor, they have compassion for others and treat everyone respectfully. The country is so beautiful, and their culture is unique. My trip to Machu Picchu was fascinating and educating. I love to learn about other people's history.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

After coaching so many prospective teachers over the years, I have improved my daily work to become more efficient in targeting weaknesses of my trainees. After over 10 years of training teachers, I have developed a worldwide network of graduates who help me, sometimes instantly, to identify employment opportunities for other graduates. My trainees work in every corner of the world, and I maintain contact with them.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

One of our graduates in South Korea wrote to us that the principal observed her class. At the end, he came to the front of the class and congratulated her for the outstanding performance and work ethics in general. She was told by her colleagues that this rarely happens and wrote us proudly about it.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

As a training organization, we strive to give our graduates knowledge and skills that go beyond the "travel teacher" and make them compatible to four-year graduates of formal colleges of teacher training. The employment record of our students speaks volumes.

As we train them on site, our students are hired by the best schools worldwide. Our graduates teach at universities in Saudi Arabia, Oman, South Korea, and China, for just to name a few countries.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

One of our graduates wrote us a huge thank-you note. She had been hired by Yale University in the U.S. to work with international students in their summer program. Yale University is an Ivy-League school in the U.S. and is compatible to Princeton and Columbia University. It cannot get any better. In such moments, we realize that we do exceptional training work.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

In order to be a successful TEFL training organization, you have to have your customer service under control. Besides great customer service, you have to offer valuable employment opportunities to your students. And the staff of the organization has to understand that we are in the business to help our students to achieve their goals--even if it means that they have to get a second try after intensive coaching.
