At ITTT we offer a range of certificate legalization options
ITTT offers a full range of certificate legalization and authentication options. Some course graduates are informed that their certificate should be authenticated, legalized, apostilled or validated. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a consistent or clear definition of exactly what is required here, so we suggest several options. You should present these options to the people or authorities that are requesting the certificate additions, so they can advise you which one would be acceptable to them.
The first verification method is quick and easy, and is free of charge. Your employer or the local education authority may only need to verify that the certificate is genuine, in which case ITTT offers employers a certificate verification service for ITTT course graduates.

The Best Strategies for Reducing Teacher Talk Time - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
I guess we all have been there. Sitting in a classroom where the teacher never stops talking. How did it feel? Was it interesting and motivating or was it perhaps boring and discouraging? Did you have the feeling of having learned something when the lesson was over? Whereas getting students talking in the classroom has proved quite a challenge to many teachers, having them verbalize what they are thinking about is very important. Even when the learning has been handed over to the students, it is still very tempting to spend far too much time giving directions, repeating important information and instructions, and telling students how they did rather than asking them to reflect on their work.

Individual Lessons vs. Group Lessons: What Works Best for Teachers? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Teaching is probably one of the most rewarding professions that can exist. I've always dreamed to be a teacher, being able to make a difference and be the one students can look up to. This opportunity was given to me when an English training institute from China called Web international English (also called Web) hired me as an ESL teacher. The web is a private English school which provides different class sizes such as VIP(1 to 1), Private(1 to 4), Salon(1 to 10) and Social(1 to 25+). These various courses helped me to differentiate and experience the difference between teaching one to one and groups.

Graduate English Teaching Certificate - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Do you want to issue certificates to your students?
Over the years, ITTT has focused on providing quality training to future TEFL and TESOL teachers, preparing them to teach English as a foreign language. We have been asked by a number of course graduates if, as qualified ITTT teachers, they can award certificates independently to the students they teach.
ITTT has addressed this by providing certificates that graduates can issue to their students. These certificates, which can be purchased in packs of 10, 25, 50 or 100, allow the teacher to fill in the student’s name, class level and the number of hours of study, and are signed by the graduate. Each certificate is uniquely numbered, with a place on the certificate to enter the teacher’s ITTT certification number. Your students can... [Read more]

The Dependence of Teaching on Students Motivation - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
A highly motivated student is one who is goal-oriented, driven by passion and focused. He/she does things from the bottom of the heart. Motivation can be viewed as an internal impulse that brings us to complete an action. Without motivation, there is no action. Motivation is what moves or inspires the learner to achieve set objectives. It's the motor that drives the student to achieve pedagogical objectives. Hence it's an essential tool to equip students with, so that whatever they do it effectively and with perfection.
