You can rely on Varsity Tutors for comprehensive Boston TEFL certification training. TEFL is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language and is a quickly growing industry as demand for English teachers increases. Obtaining a TEFL certificate opens up many exciting job opportunities for teaching English abroad as you learn valuable skills in managing a classroom and preparing lesson plans for English learners. To teach English in a foreign country, a TEFL certification is often required as many language schools and institutes want teachers who have received prior training. There are many organizations including universities and online courses that offer TEFL certification. Either option will enable you to obtain a certificate but you will need to complete and turn in assignments by the assigned deadline. Varsity Tutors can provide extra support as you work towards obtaining your certificate through our Boston TEFL certification course.
Enrolling in a live class has many advantages over studying on your own. The first is that all class sessions provided by Varsity Tutors are conducted online. That means you won't have to commute through heavy traffic or rush to get to class on time. The flexibility in how classes are delivered enables you to attend sessions in a distraction-free environment of your choice whether that's your home or even a private study area at Harvard University. Simply log into the virtual classroom with a computer and an internet connection. You'll be able to interact directly with your instructor just like you would in an actual class setting using the video chat functionality and an online whiteboard. Attending a Boston TEFL certification training class provided by Varsity Tutors provides a flexible way to study at a convenient location of your choice.
When you're studying for TEFL certification, you will need to find time to review while still taking care of any personal or professional obligations you have. However, carving out the time to review doesn't have to be a major problem when signing up for our Boston TEFL certification class. That's because we offer convenient options that make it easy for you to find a class that fits in with your busy schedule. First, you can choose to enroll in a two- or four-week class depending on whether you want to attend sessions on an accelerated schedule or would rather spread the sessions out to reduce the workload. Whichever option you choose is up to you. Another advantage is that you won't have to worry about missing a section as new classes begin each month. Whether you decide to enroll in a class at the beginning, middle, or end of the month, there are always new sections available. Classes meet at different times and on different dates, so you can choose a section that meets at a time that is most convenient for you. With all these options available, we make it easy to enroll in a Boston TEFL certification training class.
If you want to travel and live in a foreign country, teaching at a language school as an English teacher is a great way to do so. There is always a strong demand for experienced English teachers in countries where the dominant language is not English. However, a common requirement that many language schools have is for new and experienced teachers to have a TEFL certification. To become certified, you do not always need to have a degree in education or even prior teaching experience. While these are definitely great to have, many schools are often happy to take on new teachers. Most online and in-person TEFL courses require that candidates have at least a high school diploma, proficient English skills, and are able to complete university-level coursework. One thing to note is that requirements vary as some language schools may require a four-year university degree while others are fine with only a TEFL certification. Obtaining a certificate shows you are serious about working as an English teacher and shows that you have the skills you need to deliver quality education to students. TEFL certification is awarded after meeting all internationally recognized standards, which include at least 100 hours of coursework, between 6 to 20 hours of live practice teaching, and an accredited curriculum from a recognized organization.
Whether you choose to obtain your certification from an online or an in-person program, you will need to carve out time in your schedule to complete your coursework and assignments by the deadline. Another benefit of enrolling in a Boston TEFL certification course is that all sessions are led by highly experienced instructors who are familiar with the process of becoming TEFL certified. The instructor for the course can deliver in-depth lectures that cover the topics that you will be expected to know from simplifying complex grammar to planning effective lessons and building learning materials. Your instructor can even provide direct feedback or help out with your coursework. If you have any questions, you can simply use the video chat functionality to ask and your instructor can reply back.
Another perk of Boston TEFL certification training is that you will be attending sessions alongside other prospective TEFL candidates with the same goal as you: obtaining certification. During discussions that your instructor leads, your classmates can share personal insights which can help deepen your knowledge on many aspects of teaching English, like identifying learning styles and teaching complex vocabulary. You are also free to share any insights you have so that others can learn from you as well. Learning alongside other classmates provides a more engaging and collaborative learning environment that is conducive to your goal of eventually working as an English teacher. No matter what your motivations are for wanting to teach English abroad, attending a Boston TEFL certification class offers the support you need to confidently work through your coursework. Should you need additional time reviewing for any topics related to TEFL certification, you can always request additional one-on-one time with your instructor outside of class.
A core skill that all successful English teachers must have is being able to simplify complex grammar and plan effective lessons around learning objectives. An accredited TEFL program will give you access to teaching materials and assign assignments to prepare you to teach as an English teacher. However, you may find that as you go through the assignments, there are some things you may have additional questions about. For example, you may not know how to teach a particular grammar rule or what to do if the class becomes disruptive. The instructor for your Boston TEFL certification class can help answer any questions you might have.
Teaching English offers exciting opportunities to live and teach in a foreign country. An accredited TEFL certification program can not only provide you with the skills you need to run a classroom but can also open up new job opportunities around the world. These are valuable skills that you can leverage to negotiate a better salary with the school. For additional support as you pursue TEFL certification, get in touch with Varsity Tutors online or by phone today. Our educational consultants will help answer any questions you have and can assist in enrolling you in an upcoming Boston TEFL certification course.
