TEFL courses for all

One size does not fit all when it comes to TEFL/TESOL. This is why we have designed various course types for our diverse range of students. Whether you’re a qualified teacher or a complete beginner, there is something for everyone. From a 20-hour Weekend TEFL Course to our 140-hour Premier TEFL Course, we cater for the needs of our students.

It’s worth bearing in mind that the majority of employers abroad require potential employees to have a TEFL certificate for a minimum of 120 hours of TEFL / TESOL training. If you’re looking to wow employers and open doors to the top EFL/ESL jobs, our Premier courses are definitely worth considering!

Never taught a class in your life? Don’t worry if you don’t know the first thing about teaching a class. Our 2 day weekend classroom TEFL courses in Chicago are designed to give you all the tools you need to get started as an EFL/ESL teacher. You will learn a variety of teaching techniques, including how to manage your own classrooms and keep students engaged with a fun lesson plan with a focus on student centered learning.

Our approach

It’s hands on! We believe that it’s so much more effective to be involved in practical activities rather than just listening to somebody lecturing at you. This is why during your TEFL class in Chicago, you will be kept on your toes with activities and games to help you retain the information you learn.

The weekend class gives you the chance to create your very own TEFL lesson and deliver it to your peers. You will also be able to observe the rest of your class delivering lessons and have the opportunity to offer feedback to help them improve.

Our classroom courses are attended by a wide range of people, including school leavers, recent graduates, college students, career changers and retirees!
