"Being able to practice with real students in a real-time classroom was truly priceless. The dedicated mentor was also an asset, guiding me every step of the way. I learned many strategies for making the learning experience more natural and fun. I also realized how much I would have missed out on implementing if I had not taken the course."

"Everything started in August 2012 when I decided to go to New York and attend the International TEFL Training course...The course gave me a comprehensive methodological knowledge of how to work on proper lesson planning, how to deliver interesting lessons getting all students actively involved, how to establish discipline in the class and, most importantly, it gave me the possibility to put all this theory into practice by delivering actual ESL lessons to adults at the same time."

"The TESOL course has helped me grow professionally and personally. I took the four-week, intensive 120-hour program in New York. This course is designed for both people who already have teaching experience and want to upgrade their knowledge and for people with little or no experience with English language teaching who want to switch their career path and turn to teaching.  It is a demanding course, but it is really worth it."
