Teaching Practices: $590 USD

We invite you to Guadalajara, Mexico for an amazing experience!

In 5 days, you can teach 10 different classes to real EFL students. Having taught legitimate classes increases your chances of teaching English around the world; having an online TEFL certification plus at least 10 hours of practice is equivalent to an onsite 4 week certification!

5-Day Teaching Practice Program:

Due to popular demand, the International Teacher Training Organization (ITTO) has extended its services to those holding an online TEFL certificate of a minimum of 100 hours, to have the opportunity of concluding or furthering their studies with actual, live teaching practices in Guadalajara, Mexico since the first day you arrive!

In ITTO’s Internationally Recognized Teaching Practices Certificate Program, trainees have training with genuine EFL students at our Partner School with 2000+ students of all ages and of all levels of study. Also, if you are a native English speaker holding a college degree, you will automatically qualify for a guaranteed paid job placement in Mexico!

Invaluable Teaching Experience and Helpful Feedback:

Many people opt to take our online training course as opposed to our in-person course due to time and other constraints. We have worked hard to make our online program effective and in-depth, emulating our in-person, immersion course to every extent possible. However, one area where the online course simply cannot replace the in-person training course is in the teaching practices, where trainees teach to actual EFL students in front of our seasoned trainers who provide feedback and grade the trainees every step of the way.

More Practice Hours With Real EFL Students:

We highly recommend that you take part in this 5-day Program. Live teaching practice in a real classroom
environment is one of the final and most important steps to becoming an effective, successful instructor. Also, we
cannot emphasize more how important it is to have these practices in as realistic an environment as possible. Unlike
other teaching practice programs, we do not promote peer teaching, as it is not a realistic EFL setting.

During the Program:

You will teach since the first day you begin your program! You will be individually observed by several professional
trainers, who will provide their feedback; you will work closely with a personal trainer who will assist you
throughout the program. The schedule involves watching videos and completing tasks, lesson planning for your own
classes featuring different levels and ages, observing other professors and of course, teaching real students. There
is a grading system we follow and certain guidelines to successfully complete the course. Ask for details.

Excellent Training in a Beautiful Setting – Guadalajara, Mexico:
