I find myself here after completing my TEFL class and, actually, I first found about ITTO, the course I ended up choosing, on  http://TEFLCourseReview.com/.

 I was looking for an online TEFL course and, like I’m sure several other people out there, I began searching mainly on-the-basis of my pocketbook.

However, when I found the poor reviews of the ‘inexpensive’ course I was thinking about, I decided I needed to reconsider.

I am so glad I did!  Actually, the course at ITTO was not that much more costly than the other one I was considering, but it looked like one of the top-reviewed courses out there.

I would highly recommend the online TEFL course offered by ITTO.  Honestly, the only negative thing I can say about the course, is that I am sorry I did not take a ‘higher-level’ of the course.  120 hours went by way too fast!!  Seriously, I learned so much from this class, and gained so much.

Hi everybody,

I recently finished the TEFL Online Course which allowed me to manage my time and juggle with other life areas. The course has been a wonderful experience because of the thourough feedback I have received from the tutor. The course structure which is very clear and easy to understand is a real highway to knowledge of concepts and insights about English teaching. The downside to this online course is exactly that ‘it is online’; hence the practicality depends on my application of the concepts at the workplace, or whenever I teach a language (the metodology can work with other languages as well). Another thing I really liked is the forums because I could discuss a topic and share opinions with so many language teachers around the world! Once again, a great experience this course has been.

I started my ITTO program on December 16 2011 and since then my teaching skills have improved. The online program helped me understand students more and manage my teaching abilities more efficiently and effectively. After completing the course I can proudly say that I am qualified to successfully teach an English class. Adding that I am a ITTO program student onto my curriculum vitae was a plus when I last conducted a teaching interview and I got the job.

The great thing about the course was the caring support and the encouraging and quick feedback from my tutor. Sure, the course was intensive and required several hours of dedication a week. But if you enjoyed something as much as I had with this course, then it doesn’t become a chore. There was a lot of extra reading involved as my tutor had provided many websites and many articles, but they then became valuable resources. Earlier in the course, my tutor recognised my weaknesses and had in her feedbacks, given me some sound advice and ideas on how to improve. Along the journey, I grew in confidence when I had been exposed to so many ideas, strategies, methodologies and understood the expectations of being an effective teacher of English. I have finished the course with so much excitement and fulfilment.

I, now, also appreciate the importance of a well structured lesson plan which caters for different types of learners, incorporates a lead-in, elicitation from students, introduction of new vocabulary, presentation, controlled and free practices, and homework. But, most of all, I have recognised that the most effective lessons are student-centred and can be stimulating by introducing a variety of activities, such as games, music, debates and role plays.

If you are looking for a quality program that will really help prepare you for teaching TEFL, choose ITTO.

Not only do I feel prepared for teaching English in Mexico, but with the Job placement program, I was able to find a job in 3 weeks into the course and I will be starting right away

As a certified TESOL instructor, I was looking for a course that provided good outlines and structures on teaching Business English. I decided to try the ITTO online Business English 25 hour self guided course and I am glad that I did.

First, the staff was very helpful in getting me registered, and second the course provided exactly the type of course syllabus that I was looking for. The course outline provided every element of BE along with materials and guidelines, but most importantly, how to implement the training.

I would recommend this course if you already teach and want to specialize in Business English Teaching

I actually came to the city before deciding on a school and visited various institutions. ITTO was by far the most modern, professional and all inclusive. After making the decision to attend ITTO their student liaison kept in constant contact with me, answering questions mailing useful documents and overall making sure i was well informed every step of the way.

The staff are warm and understanding while at the same time maintaining a level of professional stance and attitude. The program manager boast a fountain of knowledge and was able to support all students from all over the world, in navigating the Mexican system as well as the city streets.

The professors have years of international teaching experience and all held post graduate degrees and yes all of the staff speak English Fluently; most have spent much time living in the states.

Warning; This is not a degree mill!! You will work hard for the 4 week duration. However, upon completion you will surely feel a great sense of accomplishment and hold the tools to teach anywhere in the world, not just Mexico or Latin America. If you decide to relocate, the program manager has connections all over the world and will seamlessly find you a position in the geographical area you desire.

ITTO Guadalajara is a Top Notch institution! Do not let the impostors steer you astray… Thank you to all the ITTO Team.

In 2011 I lost my job.. agian. So i finally decided that “now” was the time for my idea.

I contacted ITTO they were very helpful and supportive. When classes began, our teacher Rodolfo was warm and accommadating. Rodolfo is very knowledgable and motivating instructor. The curriculum was very up to date. Rodolfo gave us students the benefits of the years of experience his classes where lively and interesting.

His ability to critique and give useful feedback was exemplary. The first few days of class were a little daunting. There was a lot of information to process, lesson planning grammar phonetics, essays and teaching practice.

During this whole time ITTO was very supportiveand willing to assist me, Finally when I completed the course ITTO was very helpful in finding me a job.

I am still working for the first school ITTO placed me and I am enjoying living and teaching in Guadalajara.

I highly recommend ITTO

The course was very intensive and required a lot from me as I hadnt had to be this studious since my college days many many years ago. The trainers, staff and materials ITTO provided were excellent.

One outstanding feature of ITTO´s Program is acually teaching real students within a real classroom enviorment by way of a provate school associated with ITTO.

I didnt have any previous experience being a school teacher, however ITTO provided me with the training, knowledge and confidence I needed to begin teaching right away. As a matter of fact, I received many offers to teach whitin a couple of weeks of graduating. ITTO guarantees any graduate a teaching job anywhere within Mexico and they have lived up to that promise as I was able to obtain the position I wanted in the town that I desired wiht telative ease.

For anyone thinking of obtaining ther TEFL cerificate i highly recommend ITTO, as thier course will more than prepare you to become an ESL teacher not only in Mexico but anywhere in the world!!!
