Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

This was a great refresher course on the Present Tense. The details given explaining the differences between the present perfect and present continuous were simple and clear and as a teacher this is helpful when students ask to explain these differences. As a native speaker we tend to know the difference and can easily switch but sometimes explaining to a non-native speaker can prove a little challenging.I have had a wide range of experience teaching to various groups of students. In my opinion, the groups of business students have been the most challenging. Those clients were both demanding and highly critical. Me, as a teacher had to be incredibly professional an well-prepared. On the other hand, the groups in language schools at pre-intermediate level have been the ones which I taught with joy and fun.
