- To Whom it May Concern,
I'm working at two different language schools in Cracow, Poland, as well as doing some personal tutoring, and I'm loving every minute of it!
Taking the ITTO course last year was one of the best decisions I ever made. It has been opening up so many opportunities for me. I continue to receive new job offers weekly. Thank you!

- Hello,
I have just completed my ITTO online course and I must say that this has been one of the best and rewardable experiences of my life! This course has given me the tools necessary to conduct a successful teaching atmosphere in ANY TEFL class! Not only does it cover ALL aspects of teaching English, but it also helps with self development and to identify your weaknesses and strengths. With a wonderful platform, curriculum, a great tutor, and help with job placement, I HIGHLY recommend ITTO online to anyone who wants a TEFL experience that will be well worth it!

- Hello,
It was a pleasure to be a part of this unique and fascinating world of education! ITTO did a GREAT job in teaching and assisting me in my quest for teaching English as a foreign language. I had the privilege of having one of the most wonderful tutors ever! This course has introduced me to many new concepts and given me a solid understanding of teaching English as a foreign language. Thus far it has been a very rewarding venture. I am really excited to travel and experience this new phase of my life!

- Hi,
I wanted to write and say thanks a million to ITTO for opening new doors in my life, with the exceptional help I received while doing my English course. My Tutor was a real Star! She kept me focused, gave me very sound advice, expanded my knowledge with her wealth of information on websites and where to look for things. Without her help it would have been easy to give up. I found myself wanted to finish well and wanting to do the best I could as she was giving me her best also. I will always have a job opportunity waiting for me and that is an awesome feeling.
Thank you all so much.

It is so exciting and well written I am very pleased that I bought it as well. I recommend anyone who has not done this little course to get it done. The information is like Gold in your hands.

- My name is Andy Thomas and I took the wonderful online TEFL TESOL course and teacher practices in Guadalajara to become certified through ITTO in July of 2006. The training was very valuable for me, and I worked professionally for four years at The American School of Puebla teaching middle school English with great success.
I am currently teaching English in South Carolina and continue to use the wonderful techniques of differentiated learning from the ITTO. I would recommend this program to any and all who are interested in choosing this rewarding career.

- I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the excellent work you have done with me. This course was much harder than I could have ever imagined. But, you were with me every step of the way!
I am grateful for the many, many tips and advise you have given me along the way. I am putting together a couple of "books" from all of the information I have learned in the course and from my tutor. I will need to bring these with me on my future teaching adventures. Thank you for providing me with so much information and guidance. You have been invaluable in helping me through this course, providing me with the skills I will need to teach abroad. I won't forget that.
I know I proceeded with this course quickly. I plan on going over everything again, and really absorb everything...there was so much information!!!!!! I know I have much to learn. But, I feel like I can walk into a class anywhere and get started. That means the world to me. Thank you for the help along the way. I am so glad I had you to work with.
Thank you for everything...

- It's my honour and privilege to thank you, for all the guidance and inspiration that you have provided me throughout the course, my tutor really gave me a positive impetus in completing the course successfully. It is my bound duty to appreciate the hard and sincere gestures of my tutor in evaluating all the Tasks and giving me worthy comments and providing me with a helping hand in completing the Tasks. I must also appreciate my tutor’s quick and immediate replies given to all my doubts and queries. I must say that she proved herself a worthy and learned tutor.
My sincere thanks to ITTO for their wonderful services and the help that they have extended to students made me to feel more flexible and happy. It speaks volumes of their dictation in encouraging students and fulfilling their needs.
Lastly I once again thank my beloved tutor and ITTO.

- ITTO has proven itself to be my lumen (eye opener) in not only teaching techniques but also psychology involved in teaching and I can impart knowledge now to the least lowly intellect and gravitate it to be among the highly rated brains. One thing about this teaching approach is that it cannot be said to be limited to teaching English alone. While we agree that it is tagged 'Teaching English', but what about the techniques and psychology in teaching not only limited to teaching English alone?
In fact, I recommend this training to all "teachers". By teachers, I mean from informal instructors in all homes to formal teachers in all schools from the least schools up to the university.
Ever since I rounded off the program, some of my friends want to get enrolled in the program because of its immense benefit of not learning per se but also affording her graduates the links with which to apply and seek job opportunities world over.
It is a must-undergo program to everybody because of its tripartite benefits - the home training, teaching ability, and job opportunity.

- My new TEFL career is going very well thank you. I have been living in Beijing, China and teaching at Aihua Foreign Languages Academy for a month now and am loving every moment. I teach children between the ages of 8 and 12 on a part time basis. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures yet but will send you some and as soon as I have them.
You are more than welcome to give this e-mail address to your prospective students if they would
like to contact me.

- Dear ITTO Team,
Thank you so much for your support and guidance throughout my course work.
I really enjoyed the course and I appreciated all the great help and advice from my tutor!
In case I am going to do some additional course work, I definitely will stay with ITTO Online. It was exactly what I needed. I had the opportunity to do the course in my own pace and in my own way. I got immediate response on my assignments and that kept me motivated. So, thanks to all of you who have been involved and who helped me to be successful!

- Hello!
I have had a truly wonderful experience with the course and I wanted to thank the administration again for the kind and thoughtful initial communications with me.
As my course evaluations note, I found the course and delivery system to be excellent; and my tutor has earned my highest recommendation. She has been exemplary in every respect as a tutor--ITTO is very fortunate to have her on board!?
- Hello,
I am from the United States. I took the TEFL/TESOL certificate course at ITTO's partner school in Cusco, Peru. Immediately after taking the course I began teaching at the same institute where I had been trained. I taught English in Cusco for 6 months to group classes of Peruvian adults. I loved teaching abroad, immersing myself in a different culture, taking salsa lessons and speaking Spanish.
After teaching, I traveled around South America and since have returned to the States. I currently teach private English classes. I recently took the ITTO online Teaching Business English course to enhance my TEFL training and portfolio.
The online Teaching Business English course helped me see the distinctions between teaching a TEFL student and a TBE student. I have found the course to be helpful with my current students that work in corporations and need to improve their language skills for their job environment.

- Hello!
I live on Lamma Island, near Hong Kong, and love it. I have had no problem
finding work though don't be fooled when they say NET teachers are very well paid. However the
lifestyle is not expensive on Lamma; the rent is reasonable and you can buy a bag full of vegetables
from the farmers for a couple of dollars.
There's a huge demand for English teachers for nursery school and I teach on the mainland (on the border of China) at the Salvation Army Schools). Though this is not what I was expecting to do the children are very clever and I love them!
I noticed that there is very little practical information to teach small children, the books available are either too "academic" too wordy, too boring, and no really interesting lesson plans, so...I wrote my own stories and lesson plans. I actually found a printer interested in finding a publisher for China and so this is what I do in my spare time - write lessons!
I could not have done this without ITTO and am very thankful to this organization. I recommend it totally for anyone who wants a TEFL certificate.

- I don't regret my decision to take the online TEFL course through ITTO. I am currently teaching EFL to middle school students in South Korea. It is a public school. I also taught elementary school last semester. In Korea, a TEFL certificate is not required, so I am glad I did not spend thousands of dollars on an on-site course. Although I could have gotten my teaching job with no EFL training at all, the course gave me much more confidence and made me a better teacher. I found that the online course provided me with enough training for much less money. Besides, there is no single method or approach that will fully prepare you for any classroom, but this course gave me a solid foundation in a broad range of teaching methodologies and meaningful activities.
The course material was well organized for self study, and contained many exams that provided immediate feedback. The assignments at the end of each chapter were graded by my tutor, within a few days, who was an EFL teacher in Spain. Her comments, based on her experience as a teacher, were very meaningful.
I liked the emphasis on lesson planning. The course focuses on the sections of the plan that need to be developed in order to prepare an effective lesson, while giving you great flexibility in your plans. I didn't realize until I started teaching that a solid plan is needed to make you fully prepared for your lesson, even if you are the only one who will see it. It makes you appear more professional. I saved all the resources I acquired through the course, and still refer to them when needed.
I hope I addressed all of your questions and concerns. If there is anything else you would like to know, please don't hesitate to ask.

- I am glad you decided to write to solve some of your doubts, I had a few doubts myself when I started the course, it was my first time taking a course online, and I found it hard to believe that they can teach you so much in so little time, but let me tell you that so far, I am very surprised to see that everything that I´ve learned and all the materials that I´ve gotten from my tutor are accurate and very useful in my classroom.
The lessons you will learn, will help you teach fun, interesting and affective classes. I think all the lessons are very specific and it really measures the capacity and ability a person has to teach.
I hope this will clear some of your questions and I´ll be happy to help you, if you have some questions regarding the tasks.

- There are several reasons why I am motivated to enroll with the ITTO Online
course and teach English as a foreign language. Having worked at a desk job as a loan officer
as well as in the lab as a chemist, I am looking for a different experience that is both
challenging and rewarding. While searching through the many online TEFL programs available, I found several promising programs that were internationally accredited. I enrolled with ITTO because it was one of the few that offered 100+ hours of TEFL course material, and I knew the program would be challenging as well as rewarding.
Having completed the ITTO Online TEFL Course, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality online program that is accepted worldwide. The program certainly delivered on what I was looking for. The quizzes were challenging and required the trainee to really know the course material. I found the Grammar section of the course to be extremely helpful for reviewing grammar tenses and structures. Another plus was the high-quality tutoring. My mentor Susan was always prompt with her detailed and thorough feedback on course assignments. In addition, she was a valuable source for teaching ideas and teaching suggestions. Thank you, ITTO! I look forward to accepting the challenges and rewards of teaching English as a foreign language.

- Dear ITTO Team,
I want to thank you all tremendously for the technical support, and all the assistance rendered as a student of the Institution. I also want to thank you for the wonderful course package, which has added value to the teaching field. I appreciate all of you and of course my online tutor, who was going along with me all the way through, encouraging correcting and mostly giving me the assurance that I can do this. Thank you for your time. I'm not leaving Administration out. Thanks a lot and also the Course Coordinator for the timely technical support given through my course. I have read through all the benefits I’m entitled to, its quite intriguing, but I want to see what I can achieve in my country and also doing some contract jobs overseas, I assure you that in future, I will take advantage of one or two of these benefits. I hope I will have the opportunity one day to attend the Teaching Practices in Mexico very soon.
Once again, I say thank you and wish the organization greater success through the coming year.
Best,

- Thank you very much for returning my task so quickly and for all the helpful information with it.
It is great to get more ideas for explaining vocabulary and all the sources where to look up more information and ideas! It is very kind of you to provide me with quick feedback and all these websites, which will certainly come in handy and I will try to check them out as time goes by! I appreciate any extra input from what I'm currently reading or checking (so far mostly books). I'm glad I did the course and thank you once more for all your help - you certainly made it worthwhile for me and a great experience and they are lucky to have your service as online tutor! It's a shame you don't live closer, it would have been nice to meet.

- God blessed me by giving me such a caring tutor. I am lucky to have you.
You are so insightful and supportive.
You were very helpful and patient with me and I appreciate it. Thanks again for your
support and prompt feedback - not all co-workers taking this course are as fortunate as I have
been in having you. The article on discipline was very useful to me. As far as future students
to assist, don't change a thing. It gave me quite a boost when I received your reference letter.
Thank you so much for all you help and interest. Once again I am grateful that I have you. I have
gone on to 3 other on line courses and have more than once wished you were with me still.
Very appreciative student,

I love the warm support you give me. Thank you once again. The attachments you have sent are so fun. Even though you are in another continent altogether, the time difference has never made any impact, to times when I have reached out for advice, as you have been there faster to respond than people living in my own country!!!

- My tutor was always very fast with her response and the feedback was most of the times very useful.
She helped me a lot. She also was very enthusiastic and motivated me a lot! Because
of all the good reactions I had from my teacher it made me do the course more intensively and
better. I was really into it! Thanks for always the good and positive remarks. I would
recommend her to anyone. She was a good help and a good motivator with good and adequate
feedback! She did a great job, as a motivator, a good feedbacker and a good corrector! An
excellent teacher who sees things the student doesn't see.

- I would first thank ITTO for their courses
In fact, though I am a teacher, I found out during the training that I still
lacked some knowledge. But now I have acquired that from this training.
Everything was useful, no exceptions. I wish to recommend others who wish to get their TEFL
online to sign up with this institution.
They will never regret any money spent. I am fully enlightened
by the training and more
confident in my future teaching. Once more, thanks very much. I love you guys ...
thumbs up.

- I thought the entire course was well planned, interesting and useful, and my instructor was very friendly and approachable.
Creating the lesson plans was
the most challenging but probably also the most useful tasks. I also found the Grammar and
Pronunciation and Grammar Mentor sections really helpful, since they had a lot of specific examples
of common problems and topics. And I enjoyed all the evaluation methods: the multiple choice tests
and fill-in the blank questions and the variety of the tasks.
Traian Popescu

- I really liked the quiz feedbacks. They were very informational, in addition to what was learned in the unit. I also found the feedback from the tutor at the end of each unit (or throughout) very useful. She was very knowledgeable.
Jamie Ostrander

- The course was harder than I expected but after completing it; I understand why.
Walter Sakundiak

- Yes I would recommend it!
I have been teaching English with Berlitz© for more than 10 years
but all of my tutor's feedbacks helped me to increase more knowledge on teaching.
She gave me great ideas, and
makes the course a real learning experience.
Israel Figueroa
