If you are interested in working as an English teacher at a language school abroad and need help reviewing for a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification exam, we can help. Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a comprehensive Columbus TEFL certification training course that can provide you with the skills and confidence to manage a classroom and provide foreign students with a quality education. Obtaining your TEFL certification is beneficial for a number of reasons as it demonstrates to prospective employers that you have the skills to teach many of the complex aspects of the English language and prepare effective lesson plans. You could use a TEFL certificate to your advantage by negotiating a higher salary. Enrolling in a prep course can go a long way towards helping you feel more confident as you take the test.
To become TEFL certified, you do not need to have a degree in education or even have prior experience teaching at a school. Some language schools abroad may require a 4-year university degree at an institution like The Ohio State University while others may not have such requirements. To obtain a professional-level TEFL certification, you must meet certain standards which include at least 100 hours of coursework, at least 6 to 20 hours of live practice teaching, and an accredited curriculum from a recognized organization. There are many organizations that offer TEFL certification with their own structure and requirements. However, you will still be expected to carve out time to follow through on assignments and take a final exam that tests your ability on various concepts like teaching complex English grammar, creating effective lessons, managing a classroom, and preparing various learning materials.
Though you may already be a fluent English speaker, you may not necessarily understand the rules behind certain grammar or how to prepare lesson plans to teach it. A benefit of enrolling in a Columbus TEFL certification course then is that each session is led by a highly experienced instructor who understands the process of earning a TEFL certification. During classroom discussions, you're free to ask questions which your instructor and even other classmates who are attending can answer. This provides a more collaborative learning environment which can help you on your path towards TEFL certification. If you need additional help on how to promote more productive learning in your classes or how to explain complex grammar, you can schedule private time with your instructor outside of class.
If your dream is to live and work abroad, teaching English can open up a number of job opportunities and turn that into a reality. You'll be glad to know that Columbus TEFL certification training provided by Varsity Tutors are conducted online. You won't have to commute through heavy traffic or spend money getting there. You can attend virtual classrooms in the comfort of your home or even at a private study area at Capital University. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. Just like in a real classroom, you can interact directly with your instructor using the video chat functionality and an online whiteboard. There are new sections that start each month, and you can choose between two or four week-courses. Sections start on different days and times so you can enroll in a section that fits into your schedule. Whatever your future goals are, enrolling in a prep course can help you work toward the certification you need. Get in touch with the educational consultants at Varsity Tutors today and we can help you enroll in an upcoming Columbus TEFL certification class.
