"The TESOL course has helped me grow professionally and personally. I took the four-week, intensive 120-hour program in New York...It is a demanding course, but it is really worth it.

The staff at the Institute is fully committed and works hard towards helping their students (future teachers) with their daily assignments and lesson plans, observation of their classes and professional advice on where to focus their attention as well as how to handle the classroom by acquiring classroom management knowledge that the teacher needs to have before he/she enters the classroom. They focus on helping their students in learning how to teach communication skills and how to evaluate their students continuously."

"Even as time passes, I still use what I learned in our TEFL certification course almost daily in my classroom. I haven’t left the country yet, I am teaching ESL in New York. I registered for the TEFL course in order to be a better teacher to all those immigrants whose life I personally impact with my work as a teacher. And I understand that this is only possible if I have the proper qualification."

The best thing about this course was its practical approach to teaching. I believe that the focus on meaningful context and the objectives we set for each class distinguishes me now from teachers I met later on who did not have a comparable training. The number of practice teaching hours for each participating trainee also set this course apart from other similar certificate courses. 

The amount of teaching hours had me feel extremely comfortable with EFL students as I walked into the classroom towards the end of the course.  The daily feedback of my peers and the trainers helped me advance rapidly towards higher levels of performance during my instructional practices.

The trainers, by the way, were excellent coaches.  Their support, dedication to teaching, and true interest in my personal progress deserve my deepest respect."

Most of our students look forward to starting employment as a teacher either locally or overseas.  Due to our large network of schools worldwide, iTTi is fortunate to often be able to offer real employment opportunities at one of our many partner schools.  Excellent English teachers are always in demand.

We have partner schools in Europe (Spain, Italy, France), in Asia (Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Vietnam, Philippines), in the Middle East (Jordan, Oman, , Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, the UAE, Syria), in Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, South Africa, Madagascar) and in South America (Brazil, Argentina) for just to name a few.  

iTTi puts great emphasis on assisting our students in landing employment with schools around the world.   From resume creation to school contacts in the country of your choice, what would a great TEFL education be  without any career support?  Even if you wanted to run your own online school, we'll have that ready for you the next day.   We want you to tell yourself at the end, "I decided for iTTi, and I'm glad I did."
