If you're planning to pursue the Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, Varsity Tutors offers online Indianapolis TEFL certification training that provides a more convenient way to prepare for the test. TEFL refers to programs in countries where English is not the primary language. Programs prepare candidates on how to teach English language skills and plan lessons for non-native speakers. While you can find employment without a TEFL certificate, having one could open doors to better job prospects and could help you negotiate a higher salary.
You can earn your TEFL certification through in-person classes or online lessons. Internationally recognized courses must meet certain standards. They should have at least 100 hours of coursework, 6-20 hours of practicum, and be from an organization with an accredited curriculum. To be certified, you don't need to have a college degree or prior teaching experience. However, some countries require you to have a four-year university degree, while other countries just require your TEFL certificate. Most TEFL certification courses do require at least a High School Diploma or GED, fluency and proficiency in English, and your TEFL certification.
Enrolling in our Indianapolis TEFL certification course can make it easier for you to study for the TEFL and reach for your certification goals. The course is led by an experienced instructor who can work with you in studying the different topics and concepts covered in the class. All the instructors who handle the courses have gone through a careful interviewing and vetting process to make sure they are not only experts in the subject but also good communicators. You can be sure that you are learning from a qualified teacher who can answer your questions about English grammar, lesson plans, learning styles, and any other topic or concept you might need help with. Your instructor can also give you a variety of practice questions that could sharpen your English teaching skills and help you feel more confident as you pursue your TEFL certification.
Beyond helping you with topics covered on the exam, your Indianapolis TEFL certification class instructor can also impart tips on how you can improve your time management skills to successfully fulfill your TEFL certification requirements. Time management skills are essential to succeed in your TEFL coursework since most programs require you to meet deadlines for your assignments, lesson plans, and other materials you're asked to submit.
The Indianapolis TEFL certification training provided by Varsity Tutors is conducted entirely online. This means you don't have to worry about fitting an extra commute in your schedule just to attend the course. Many TEFL candidates like graduates from the University of Indianapolis or Butler University and busy working professionals take the online course since it allows them to study from the comfort of their homes. To participate in the lessons, you just need an internet connection so you can log on to our Live Learning Platform where you'll meet your instructor and other TEFL candidates. Since there are other students in the virtual classroom, you have many opportunities to engage in lively discussions, pick up on tips and techniques for teaching English, and gain new insights on various topics and concepts included on the test.
Of course, there may be times when you need more help in understanding topics or need to clarify points about creating lesson plans. In these situations, you can reserve one-on-one time with your instructor so you can address your difficulties more effectively.
Even if you're a native or fluent English speaker, obtaining your TEFL certification can still be challenging. If you need support, call Varsity Tutors now and we can enroll you in an Indianapolis TEFL certification course that fits your schedule.
