No preparation needed
All you need to get started on an online course is a computer: no textbooks have to be bought, no pre-reading is needed, and no extra equipment is necessary. The only preparation we’d recommend is to make sure your mindset is right, especially if you want to get the course done quickly.
Practical activities
Learning in a classroom isn’t the only way you can learn how to become a TEFL teacher. Oh no, i-to-i’s online TEFL courses will teach you everything you need to know about the English language, such as grammar so you can successfully teach the language! You won’t be missing out on the fun activities that you get on a classroom course. The 60 Hour Online TEFL Course has lots of activities that cover everything from how to use a whiteboard suitably, to recreating your version of popular game shows to get your students excited about learning English!
Expert support
You’ll have loads of help and support throughout your online course, there is always someone to give you a helping hand when you need it. You can use the TEFL Helpdesk who are usually able to help you if you get stuck. If they can’t solve your problem then they will pass your question to one of our many expert tutors. At the end of every module your tutor will look through your work then give you detailed feedback, which will tell you exactly where you need to improve.
Grammar genius
Let’s face it grammar is a complicated subject, so being able to teach it is going to be a little tricky. You can become a grammar genius with the Grammar Awareness Module which is included with most of i-to-i’s online TEFL courses. After completing this module you’ll be to teach even the toughest parts of grammar full of confidence!
