Accredited TEFL Certification in Mexico, with Job Placement

Our academic program surpasses other programs in several areas. For one, this is composed of a total of 140 hours of intensive training, out of which 10 are actual teaching practices with real EFL students. With professional instructors evaluating your performance, you will receive individual mentorship and feedback. No other TEFL course offers 10 hours of fully observed teaching practice, 2 hours of conversation class, 6 hours of observation of seasoned teachers, and a one-to-one teaching component, also mentored individually. The high number of teaching practices in the course also gives you the authentic experience sought by potential employers. This will build your confidence and teaching skills, preparing you like no other for the real world of teaching. Many TEFL courses offer classroom practice only through teaching fellow trainees or random volunteers. We have a new course beginning every month to allow you to become TEFL-certified whenever you are able to do so. By the way, ITTO saves you money by offering you specials, for example, you can save $200 by enrolling in advance. The Regular Tuition Fee is 1,495 USD.
