One of the great advantages of taking the course at ITTO is that the school is affiliated with a language school across the street. So we had the advantege of learning how to desing lesson plans. grammar lessons etc.

We were able to teach English in real classes to real students. Each class that we taught was observed and graded by a teacher. So, there was immediate feedback and direction. At the end fo the four weeks there was no doubt in my mind that i was qualified to teach in a TEFL enviorment!

Professionalism and organization are outstading! ITTO delivers a challenging, well-rounded training program, together with the staff support and resources students need to succeed; tgeb tget fikkiw.thru with conscientiours job placement assistance as promised. What does this acutally mean? I had to work very hard in the program ( this was not a vacation in Guadalajara) Simultaneously, ITTO´s staff was consistently there for me helping me in every way. Practice teaching real students ( not volunteers) and receiving specific quidance and feedback on my teaching amde all teh difference for me: in addition to earning a higly respected credential, I also cama away with the confidence I needed to launch myslef as a teacher. I was offered a job in the location of my choice within one month of graduating! I am thoroughly happy that I decided to make this life change and that I chose ITTO to help me get started!

I took the online course and it is a fantastic program. The tutors give a lot of support information that is both interesting and useful. You will be able to use a lot of the resources they give you in the comments for the classes you teach abroad. Things like lists of websites with game ideas and other helpful material will be given to help you teach in the future. I’m very glad I chose this route instead of doing in-class and getting rushed into finishing.

ITTO’s TELF online course was well structured and easy to follow. I already had an English teaching degree in my country when I started it, so I was able to compare it with what I had already learned in college, and I can say that the materials were well chosen and not to unnecessarily complex, so that even a beginner could get the best results.

I found very useful the examples of activities and games, some of which I had never heard of before and which I will surely use if I will get a teaching job.

Also, the grammar presentation in the course (parts of speech, etc.) was well structured and useful, since English grammar is never summarized and simplified on any of the Internet websites.

My tutor corrected my exercises quite fast and I always had feedback and answers on a very friendly tone and promptly. The ITTO team also replied to my emails every time I hand an inqury, so communication was excellent.

I did indeed finish my course in 4 months, but I believe it can be finished it even faster, especially by those who already have some teaching knowledge.

As for the job placement part, unfortunately most schools demand native speakers of English, which I believe is somewhat unfair (some native speakers can have less language knowledge than non-natives who have studied it for years).

If there’s anyone out there who isn’t a native speaker and has managed to find an English teaching job with the help of this course, please share your experience with me, I would be very interested to find out about it.

To end this review, I recommend the course especially to native speakers of English who have no or little teaching experience, I’m sure it will help them learn fast about teaching and at the end they should have great chances of finding a job.

I just completed the ITTO TEFL Online course and I highly recommend it to others. I was able to complete the course on my own time over the past 5 months. The content is very useful and my tutor was always quick to assist during my progress. I was given helpful advice after completing each task, that I will be sure to use when teaching my own class. I am moving to Spain next month to search for a TEFL teaching job and I’m positive this certification will help me lock in the job I’m looking for. I have saved all of the lessons and the material that I gained through this course and I plan to use it to guide me when teaching. It even helped polish up my English grammar, which I have never been too good at. Overall, I highly suggest others looking for an online TEFL certification to choose this program!

Choosing an online TESOL course is not easy, there are many companies out there on the market trying to sell you a quick ticket to Paradise!! After weeks and weeks of searching and reading reviews I finally settled for ITTO and what a fantastic choice that proved to be!! I have just completed my course, receiving an excellent grade for what has been an extremely rewarding course. The content was fantastic, the tutor was excellent and the experience was amazing! I’m going to feel a little lost without having my weekly tasks to complete…!! If you are looking for a TESOl course which will equip you with the skills you need to be an excellent TESOL teacher than look no further than ITTO!

English teaching job has become very competitive among English native and non-native speakers in Japan. One has to be well-equipped to become competitive. The ITTO Business English and ITTO Tesol Technology online courses that I finished and greatly enjoyed have equipped me with knowledge, skills, versatility and confidence in teaching English using technology. The lessons are very educational, practical and realistic that I can readily apply it to my classes. The assignments made me explore and use what I learned, not to mention the making of online interactive exercises. I find the Web 2.0 Tools especially interesting and helpful. The course kept me abreast with the current technology like collaborating thru blogging and social networking. To sum up, for a very reasonable price I’m very glad and satisfied with the course.

I completed my course whilst living in São Paulo, Brazil and I have to say that the course made my transition into an English teacher far easier and smoother than I could have imagined.

The course offered plenty of practical advice, guides and methods of teaching and an excellent evaluation system of checking my progress through tutor graded assesments. These were a godsend, allowing me to see my strengths, weakness and how my knowledge was developing. All of the assessments linked seamlessly to the previous unit, meaning every step of the way I was enhancing my knowledge and building upon it.

The forums offered fabulous suggestions from other teachers, both new and experienced which gave me extra ideas and insights. The forums are great for creating diversity and unity: I didn’t feel I was studying alone when I had feedback from other fellow students!

Mostly importantly, the course inspired motivation and an ambition to do my best at teaching. After completing every module, I would apply all these new thoughts into my class and I had so much satisfaction seeing my classes improving and becoming more dynamic, simply from the confidence the course was giving me.

I would highly recommend this course as it will establish a foundation to a new teacher or freshen up ideas for the more experienced.

I took the online 140hour Tefl course and it’s brilliant. I went into it thinking I would know it all and it would be easy but in fact there was a lot to learn and I got challenged too! I’m extremely glad I decided to go with this particular course. My tutor was amazing and my dealings with the administrative staff has been very pleasant. The content is great, it hit any question I had out of the park. Going into this I had no clue how I would control little kids and to my surprise there was a huge section on discipline. My only criticism being a computer programmer is their website and class portal is stuck in the 90s and it almost dissuaded me from taking it, however it gets the job done. Overall awesome experience.
