ESL teacher in a matter of weeks!
Who needs a TEFL ("Teacher of English as a Foreign Language") certificate (or a TOEFL certificate or, even better, a
CELTA certificate)?
- Non-working partners of K-12 teachers can make themselves and
their teaching partner more marketable with a TEFL certificate.
- Bachelors degree holders who are not certified primary or secondary
teachers can teach ESL overseas with a TEFL certificate.
- Primary and Secondary (K-12) teachers who want to bolster their
resume and impress schools with the additional ESL accreditation.
Do I need to know the language my students will be speaking to teach ESL?
No - when students learn from a TEFL instructor, they learn quickly
by being fully immersed in English. Your course at i-to-i will teach you how to
get your students talking and improving their English in no time at all.
