International TEFL Academy

The quality of the course was not the issue. I applaud ITA for providing rigor so that those completing the course are prepared to teach. Connecting to a job was/is the issue. There is an assumption that only young adults are willing to travel abroad and teach. This assumption over simplifies the pool of candidates actually interested in working abroad or/and online.

My experience working with my ITA TEFL professor has been nothing short of exceptional. He provided thoughtful and constructive feedback that consistently challenged me to reflect on my work and grow as both a learner and a future teacher. His comments didn’t just help me improve my assignments—they shaped how I think about teaching and encouraged me to go beyond what I thought I was capable of. Wayne was always timely with feedback and grading, and his patience and dedication truly stood out. He also took the time to read our posts in peer participation discussions, ensuring that we stayed on track with the topic—it showed how much he genuinely cares about his students’ learning and progress. Above all, his passion for teaching was evident in every interaction, and I deeply appreciate the time and care he put into guiding my development throughout the course.
