Questions?

Your i-to-i TEFL Basics are Right Here!

TEFL/ TESOL/ TESL… what’s with all the acronyms?

of Use a varieattyerials teaching m

Depending on where you learn and where you teach, the practice of teaching English as a foreign language can be referred to in many different ways. However, these acronyms all amount to the same thing. If a language institute abroad is in need of an English teacher, they’ll accept any of these qualifications.

Do I need to speak any language other than English?

Nope! It actually benefits the classroom if you don’t, as the simple exposure to pure English speeds up students’ progress.

Why do you think locals in tourist cities usually know English… it’s the constant exposure and ability to continuously practice it.

We’ll show you just how to overcome the language barrier and effectively teach your students!

What is the overseas demand for English language teachers?

You’re in demand! As English continues to emerge as the global language, the demand for English teachers is incredibly high and always on the rise.

People abroad are eager to learn, as speaking English can mean better job prospects, more money and greater futures for them.

Will an i-to-i TEFL/TESOL qualification help me find work abroad?

We’ve trained over 100,000 people in the last 15 years who are now spread all over the globe teaching English, our courses are recognised by thousands of language institutes and we have 8,000+ job contacts across the world. So in a word: yes!

What sort of teaching can I do?

Anything from private lessons to teaching in classrooms, local businesses or households. You can also take part in team or volunteer teaching!

These are only a few of the options our English language teachers find abroad.

Can i-to-i help me organise my job?

i-to-i teaches stud of all ages! ents

We offer a job placement service where we’ll put you in direct contact with reputable job agents around the world. We can also offer you expert advice, so just tell us where you want to go and we’ll get your application started! Find out more on page 16.

The i-to-i TEFL Story

ing everyone , w o h s D M s -i o , i-t how it s done!

In the last 15 years more than 100,000 English speakers have become TEFL qualified through i‑to‑i’s internationally recognised TEFL/TESOL courses and are currently teaching English all around the world.

Why TEFL with i-to-i?

Where did it all begin…where did our courses come from?

• Over 100,000 graduates

Well, you just sit back and relax while we tell you our TEFL tale.

Many moons ago, we decided to add a bit of zest, excitement and flexibility into the world of TEFL after spending over a decade teaching English abroad. Through our extensive experiences, both teaching and travelling, we discovered that if you spoke English fluently, you only needed a short and practical course that would help you put lessons together, communicate effectively with students and get your head around the world of teaching while having fun. 15 years later, this discovery means that you can take our practical and affordable courses and kick start your TEFL career bouncing all around the globe!

• An established TEFL provider for 15 years • World’s first and newest online TEFL course • Cast iron money back guarantee!

• Online and classroom learning opportunities • Accredited by the ODLQC • 65 experienced TEFL tutors around the world • 24/7 tutor support • Connected with 8,000+ job contacts around the world

That’s where our internationally accredited TEFL/TESOL courses come into the picture!

We’ve spent months (and now years!) slaving away with academics and TEFL experts spanning the world in order to develop a range of TEFL/TESOL courses that always meet the needs of classrooms abroad and prepare our teachers for anything. In fact, we’ve just launched our brand new Online TEFL Course, the most advanced e-learning TEFL course around!

Our courses are also externally accredited by the ODLQC which means they’re rigorously monitored and always meet the highest industry standards.

HUNGARY “It was great - Like many people I did it thinking, ‘I get to live in Europe! Oh, and I guess I have to do this teaching thing... I’ll adjust to it somehow.’

But the teaching turned out to be the highlight!

I was given freedom in my lessons to teach as I liked and as long as it was English and they were talking and writing it was good! The kids loved it and I had a great time that I won’t soon forget.”

Adrian Thurnwald from Australia

Peter Wickman from the USA

BOLIVIA “Beyond my imagination.

You can imagine what it would be like to stand in front of a class and explain stuff. But it’s the small things that make the difference. The contact with the students, the odd questions you get (not just about the class), and the unfamiliar environment. Try getting a group of children to pay attention all at the same time, or have a class full of teenagers sharing chairs because there aren’t enough for them.”

“I really loved the whole thing! I went as a ‘gap year’ - ended up staying for three and didn’t really want to come back!”

“Once I completed my TEFL course with i-to-i, I travelled to Lopburi, Thailand on a paid teaching placement. I wouldn't have felt comfortable travelling alone to a new country and culture without the back up that I received from i-to-i. The staff made the whole experience so easy, advising me on everything from vaccines to visas, and knowing there was always someone available at the end of the phone in both Thailand and in the head offices was always reassuring.”

JAPAN “I had a great time in Japan.

My TEFL course gave me the skills I needed to be confident in the classroom. Since coming back to the UK I have continued to teach EFL and am now involved in running a language school - all thanks to i-to-i.
