I am so glad I took this course at ITA Costa Rica. The community is so welcoming, Mike is an amazing instructor, and everyone involved with this school is kind, helpful, and genuine. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This course has changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering getting TEFL certified.

Prepare to Teach Abroad

Set goals

You’ll be teaching in a new environment, so it’s important not to get overwhelmed by everything on your to-do list. Setting goals can help you stay focused. While your goals will depend on your personal purpose and intentions, here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Working in a different country means you'll need to adapt. Take the time to understand and embrace the local culture, pick up some basic Spanish phrases, and learn about common practices. This will help you connect better with your students and colleagues.
