TESTIMONIALS

When making the transition to a new country, the first thing you want to feel is at home. This is exactly how I felt with ITTP. Before I even arrived to Prague, I had many questions and always received an immediate and thorough answer. During my time in the course, it was no different. The staff helped me settle into my new home and supported me throughout the course, giving me the confidence I needed to work hard and become a better teacher. I quickly found a job in Prague, teaching young learners at The Bead School. The material I learned in the course was necessary for me to succeed in teaching. I am currently back in the US, teaching as an ESOL Professor at the Community College of Baltimore County. Even a year and a half after taking the course, I still feel the same support from this team as I have graciously received a letter of recommendation for future teaching endeavors. My journey with ITTP has been positive, leading me to many new and exciting teaching experiences.

After completing my TEFL/TESOL I worked for ISIS education at Lincoln University teaching Italian students. I then went back out to Thailand and started working at an International school, unfortunately the school closed down and I returned to the U.K. I'm currently working as a one to one tutor and TA within a SEN department and thanks to all the experience I've gained through my TEFL the school has asked me to begin my teacher training in Drama and Performing Arts. I want to say thank you to all of the team at ITTP because without all of your ideas, guidance, support and experience I wouldn't be in the position I am in now.

I definitely recommend ITTP. I teach at an English Language School in Amagasaki, Japan (next to Osaka). The ages range from baby to adult, but usually I teach in the 2-15 year old range. I'm particularly fond of using communicative and activity ideas I learnt doing my TEFL/TESOL certificate for the high-school kids. And we actually use the same books for our adult classes, so I've even had the opportunity to use lesson plans that I created whilst doing the certificate!

I found my time at ITTP to be a very enjoyable and educational experience. It was a lot of hard work and I was busy 24-7, but I’m so happy for all of the experience I got teaching and planning lessons. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested in teaching English. The instructors are great! I loved our little group too.

I already had a years experience teaching children so I thought that i Wouldn’t really learn that much when coming to ITTP but I was proved very wrong. The teacher trainers have lots of experience and their teaching methods and ideologies were very refreshing and contemporary which i found very valuable, engrossing and useful in my post tefl/tesol teaching experience. it is quite intense but great fun. seriously. great fun and whenever u need them or want advice the trainers are always there for u at any time to answer queries or comment on your progress with constructive criticism. I’m not kidding when i say that you will be impressed and on your toes as soon as the trainer walks in the door so be ready. If you like being on your toes then this is the school for you. It has been worth every penny. I’m eternally grateful for my month at ITTP. My life has just kept getting better and better each day. I’m still in Korea and loving it!

I took the ITTP course in September '05 and spent the next year teaching English at a private Catholic elementary school in Si Racha, Thailand. I found the TEFL course to be an engaging refresher of English grammar, an informative outline of teaching theory, and a valuable introduction into the world of teaching. The course gives students an understanding of the role and duties of a teacher and the teaching opportunities to practice and increase these skills. While applying for teaching jobs, I found my TEFL/TESOL certificate to be essential in gaining employment at reputable educational institutions.
