| Find out what our graduates have to say about the following: The course as a whole The trainers Post-teaching feedback sessions Written reflections on lessons Working in groups Practice teaching The training room This was, to put it simply, the most useful learning experience of my life. Danesh Bharucha I felt the program had a very clear and consistent focus and was very well organized. The experience, dedication, and compassion of the trainers made it work. I highly recommend this course. John Harrison One of the best things I've ever done. I learned more in four weeks than I imagined possible. Hard work, but fun, and you're supported and encouraged every step of the way. Kristi Smith This is a legitimate course run by an actual, legitimate US-accredited university! (Sorry, but that's often the first question people ask). It's not simply paying for a piece of paper and/or a job, like dodgier programs. I learned a lot, enjoyed it, and worked hard. John Locke This is a 'top draw' training program that is unmatched in quality anywhere else in the world. The dedication and quality of the trainers was really, really good. David Price I signed up as a teacher with many years' experience, but the course proved to me that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I learned so much more than I expected. Judy Anankavanit The course is extremely worthwhile. It not only provided me with knowledge and skills necessary for my teaching career, but also expanded my confidence socially and academically. Nittarini Yaoyurnyorng Back to top I learnt so much from the trainers - not only about teaching techniques, but also about enthusiasm and maintaining a positive attitude toward teaching. The trainers also complimented each other really well. Moeko Takagi A very professional team! I tremendously enjoyed all the sessions. They were varied, student centered, and always insightful. And last but not the least, there was humor in the course. The trainers kept us on our toes, we worked hard, but it felt good. I wouldn't want to change anything. Danielle Rosendaal, The trainers had total commitment to the success of the participants. This showed in their preparation of modules, and their meticulous feedback on our teaching and writing.

Claire Corkins Back to top These sessions were so helpful and beneficial. So many things were brought to my attention about teaching and it made me strive to do better each time.

The sessions really helped me to learn about my strengths and challenges. Sean Kellem The feedback was delivered in a very positive manner. There was a lot of depth to it, with thoughtful comments that I could use in future lessons. Shawn McCafferty These were so good. I'm still puzzling why they worked so well. Nicole Weavers Effective, always valid, never rude or cruel. Very tactfully done. Emma Silverman Back to top The questions we answered in our essays really cut to the root of what TESOL is about. I feel like I learned a lot from the writing. Tony Kazanjian Wow! What great feedback on our essays and written reflections. So much time and effort is put into feedback.

Saya Asano I learned so much from working in groups, particularly my practice teaching group. What I learned went way beyond my expectations. Ginger Massey Loved it all. There were so many great opportunities for everyone to learn from each other. Lots of input and lots of different viewpoints. Brilliant! Stephen Wilde Team planning was much more helpful than I thought it would be. I'm generally a big non-fan of group work, but I found it very helpful throughout this course. John Locke Working in groups provided the participants with a great sense of security. Bhawna Gaur The other people in my teaching group were a source of inspiration. Observing each other did enormous things to the friendship within the group. Nicole Weavers Back to top I appreciated the students' desire to have fun and learn English.
