QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS

Our instructors have years of hands-on experience teaching English to speakers of other languages. They also know just what you need to help you get started on your journey.

THE TESOL ADVANTAGE

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages OPENS DOORS no matter the community.

KINDERGARTENERS

Young children are learning English in preschools and kindergartens throughout developing nations, especially in Asia. The turnover rate of teachers annually is approximately 50% so there is high demand for TESOL Certified teachers and personal tutors.

PRIMARY & SECONDARY

On every continent, including North America, there are primary and secondary students in process of learning English as a second, or foreign language. Not every community has this opportunity yet. Maybe one of your students will be the first to teach English where it’s never been taught!

BUSINESS MEN & WOMEN

With English being the primary language for business communication and the Internet, there is a growing number of international business men and women seeking the TESOL advantage over their peers. English usage in every day life and field specific environments is on the rise.

IMMIGRANTS & REFUGEES

With the current immigrant and refugee crisis facing Europe and parts of the Middle East, directors in camps, schools, and communities are in desperate need of certified teachers and concerned citizens and volunteers to help with the resettlement process.

TESOL ADVANTAGE

60-HOUR IN-CLASS COURSE

A 6-day intensive 60-hour course designed to introduce and jump start your TESOL goals with instruction and a practicum given by experienced instructors. This option is great for those wanting to teach English to speakers of other languages as a tutor or group instructor. During this course you’ll be exposed to teaching techniques that work, get a chance to put practical teaching theory into practice, and network with a small group of participants who have similar goals. Below are topics covered in the 60-hour course. Elements from most will cover both adult and children’s instruction.

TESOL ADVANTAGE +

40-HOUR SELF-DIRECTED STUDY

For just a little extra expense and effort, participants can qualify for the 100-hour self-directed study certificate. In addition to the Advantage level, Advantage + offers a self-directed grammar refresher that will serve as a great resource for those planning to work or tutor in higher education or business setting. Additionally, many paid jobs overseas require a 100-hour certificate which includes at least 60 hours of classroom instruction. We do not offer an online course as most reputable employers overseas would not accept a purely online certificate.
