Thank you

I really enjoyed taking this course, I felt I got my money worth. I enjoyed taking this course, very helpful and I learned so much in the last 10 weeks. I'm excited to use everything I've learned to help change people lives. excited for what to come. I would absolutely recommend this course.

ITA makes teaching abroad a tangible goal

I have been incredibly impressed by the encouragement and resources that I have received from ITA. I downloaded a brochure to learn more about their program and was contacted shortly after by the lovely Cassie Wells. I scheduled many phone conversations with her to learn about her experience and was pleasantly surprised to know that all advisor staff have traveled abroad too! (You are learning from the best). They have staff members to help through the entire process. I just finished my TEFL course and cannot wait to find a recruiter and move abroad as soon as possible. I know that if I need assistance, they will have people who are genuinely happy to help. I would consider working with them after my teaching abroad experience (If I come back to the states that is) because of how helpful they have been and how much I can tell the staff members truly love their jobs. Thank you ITA for making my dream come true.

Best Choice I made

I was worried at first when I decided to go with this program. This program really is amazing and really helps you not only become a better teacher but understand how an EFL class will work. Everyone involved is incredibly helpful and understands exactly where you are coming from, as they were once in all of our shoes.

Amina BaigUnited States · June 2019

Two thumbs up!

Being a part of the TEFL Academy has been a very positive experience. The three months of rigorous training and hard work have helped me evolve as a confident instructor, ready for real-time instruction. TEFL gave me the necessary tools and preparation to begin teaching successful

Boguslaw MikolajekUnited States · May 2019

For those who love to teach and guide.

You will definitely learn what it means to be a teacher behind the scenes. This course gives a life time opportunity to learn that. I always wanted to be a teacher and now I know I can, and I love it even more. This course is also good for someone who is not sure if they would like the challenge. I would give more than just 5*. I don't think that you could find another course with such well developed program. I wish I would live in Chicago Illinois so I could actual physically go and enjoy it. Thank you!!

Yasmin KawookUnited Arab Emirates · May 2019

The top challenge!

I was pleased with the content, the information and the knowledge I gained throughout this journey! I was impressed by my instructor - she was helpful, patient, and supportive. I was disappointed by the absence of participation from my peers towards my presence in this course!

Rahul PalavIndia · May 2019

Exactly what I needed

Hands down the best decision of my life!! After slaving in cubicles of the corporate world for over 5 years, I finally feel that I have found my calling. ITA not only gave me the necessary knowledge required to be a good teacher but gave ample support for finding jobs later on. I hope that ITA keeps helping wannabe teachers like me to be successful in a field with so much potential for people who really want to help those who desire quality education.

Roland RobinsonUnited States · April 2019

I thoroughly enjoyed this program!

This programs is very well done, and very well put together. It is helpful in equipping Teachers of English Oversees, to be prepared, and effective teachers oversees. I recommend this program without hesitation.

Katrina CromwellUnited States · April 2019

Outstanding :)

My overall experience with this course was outstanding. I would recommend to anyone looking to pursue a career in teaching. When I first started I didn't think i would be able to finish the course and my instructor was encouraging every step of the way. Each chapter was informative, had numerous resources at had to help. there was a period were I struggled because of my schedule but I was able to stick through and complete my course. :)

Barbara AustinUnited States · March 2019

A joy to learn, great materials!!

The world has so much to offer, and we can give so much more back. The opportunity ITA offers in education is phenomenal! The job placement program is top notch. They check on you throughout the course and are there when you are ready to start your search. The Moodle platform is one of the easiest and friendliest to use for your education needs. I learned so much and have more confidence in my ability to teach classes in the near future. Thank you to Alyssa Kronlund

Embarking on a new career

Having decided to travel overseas I found teaching ESL as a perfect venue. I looked at several other schools but when I came across ITA I knew it was right for me. Looking back, I know I made a good choice. I enjoyed the course and always felt like I was well supported. Thanks ITA for providing me with this new skill. William Lindau

ZedalUnited States · May 2018

Useful

I really liked this course because provided me with the necessary information and resources to become a successful ESL teacher. The course was easy and very helpful with great videos, examples, and materials. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking about teaching abroad.

TamieItaly · May 2018

So much to learn

TEFL was a great learning experience for me. I have no additional education after earning my diploma over 20 years ago and even though I felt like I was relearning old information at the same time as learning new information I still managed to keep my grades high and stay motivated thanks to great feedback from my TEFL instructor. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about learning how to provide quality education to students abroad.

catherine perezUnited States · May 2018

Thank you TEFL!

Everyone at TEFL has been helpful since day one, I never felt that I didn't have enough resource for the application process and for the online course. Shay Ames was helpful with the enrollment process and my online Professor Julian, was always communicative and responded to my emails in a timely manner. I always felt i could speak to someone if I felt some doubt with anything for the course and questions I had about other things that involved Student Affairs. Thank you!

Calvin PageUnited States · April 2018

Calvin's TEFL experience

My experience with the TEFL-online certification program far-exceeded my expectations! I had some idea of what I was walking into from the start, but once the weeks started rolling and the lessons getting tougher, I became more and more challenged and thrilled with my decision that I made when I committed to it! My advisor was very helpful in walking me through the process before-hand, and my instructor was world-class in her attentiveness to her students, her knowledge/understanding of the material, and her ability in offering me constructive feedback on my assignments, really helped. My overall experience with TEFL cannot be understated enough, because it was awesome! Thank you TEFL!

Fantastic course

I have learned so much throughout my course. Looking back I am amazed at how much work was needed at every step. I think the level of dedication it took will make me a much better teacher. Everyone at the International TEFL Academy is a professional expert who wants to make sure you have every tool you need to succeed.

Danielle PMarch 2018

Exceptionally inspiring

This course went above and beyond everything I thought it would entail. I would recommend International TEFL Academy to anyone seeking to enroll in a TEFL course. The work they do is outstanding! With the classwork, peer discussions, live lectures, and practicum hours you will be confident to take on any adventure...And with lifetime job search assistance, what more could you ask for?!

ZachUnited States · March 2018

Couldn't be more impressed- phenomenal staff and resources!

I did a ton of research on different TEFL/TESOL certifications before choosing international tefl academy. Ultimately, I'm confident that I chose wisely. The price point was a bit of hesitation but from the very beginning I could see that the value was there. My introductory phone call with my advisor was extremely informative and helpful. He was able to answer all of my questions, made sure to follow up, and never once pressured me to sign up. My professor held office hours and was very responsive over email. The course work can be detailed but nothing too major (I held a full time job while doing it). I feel very prepared to teach abroad now and love knowing that I have lifetime job search guidance and a HUGE alumni network to lean on if I need help.

Brianna HughesUnited States · March 2018

TEFL course

The TEFL course at the International TEFL academy provides you with practical skills and tools to prepare you for teaching English. I am very excited to put all of these skills I have acquired to the test. They provide materials on lesson planning, classroom management and so much more! I highly recommend enrolling.

ddipteeUnited States · February 2018

ITA is amazing ... you won't be disappointed!

I just completed my online certification and I feel confident, ready, and excited to start my overseas adventure. If you're thinking about a TEFL cert, then I'd recommend ITA beyond a shadow of a doubt.
