Personal Tutor Support & Feedback by B.A. and M.A level TESOL experts:
All of our trainers are required to have at least four years of teacher training experience, at least ten years of experience teaching English, a current EFL classroom teaching position, although most of them amply exceed this margin and therefore are fully aware of the classroom situations that teachers face today. Thus, they use their in-depth classroom experience to provide knowledgeable feedback and guidance in your TEFL learning. Your assigned trainer will give you continuous assessment of your course activities through graded quizzes, assignments, and self-evaluations.
