You can rely on Varsity Tutors for Los Angeles TEFL certification training. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification is an internationally recognized qualification that provides you with the skills to run a classroom and provide your students with a quality education. Obtaining a TEFL certificate is a commonly required qualification for teachers who wish to teach English abroad whether at a public or language school. There are many accredited organizations that offer TEFL certifications through in-person and online courses. Enrollment is open year-round and completion time is 10 to 12 weeks on average although some programs offer accelerated options. No matter which avenue you choose to obtain your TEFL certificate, you can get help with any required coursework by signing up for our Los Angeles TEFL certification course.
Enrolling in one of our live classes offers many benefits over studying and working through the material on your own. The first is that all class sessions are conducted entirely online. That means there's no need to commute through heavy traffic and you won't have to worry about making it to class on time. With a computer and an internet connection, you can attend classes in a distraction-free environment of your choice whether that's your home or even a private study area at the University of California, Los Angeles. Simply log into the virtual classroom at the scheduled class time and you'll be able to attend sessions. You can interact with your instructor using the video chat functionality and an online whiteboard just like in a real classroom setting.
A common challenge for earning any kind of certification is fitting in time to review while managing commitments like school and family life. There's no need for that to be a major concern though when signing up for our Los Angeles TEFL certification training. There are a number of options available to you that enable you to find a class that best fits your schedule. You can choose between either a two or four-week class. That way you can attend sessions to meet more on an accelerated schedule or spread out your sessions to help reduce the workload. You won't have to worry about missing a section either. New classes begin each month so there's never a bad time to enroll. There are a number of class sections that take place simultaneously which meet at different times and on different days. If one class doesn't fit into your schedule, you can choose another that meets at a time that is most convenient for you. With all of these options available, we make it easy and convenient to enroll in a Los Angeles TEFL certification class.
Teaching English abroad offers a viable way to live and work in a foreign country. However, a common requirement that many language schools have is that new and experienced teachers have their Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification. Obtaining a TEFL certification allows you to meet the requirements that many schools have to teach as an English teacher. Becoming certified can help you to stand out in job applications and even negotiate a higher salary with more reputable schools. To become certified you do not need to have an education degree or even have prior teaching experience. Some language schools may require a four-year university degree but this is not always the case as job requirements vary with each institution. Most TEFL certification courses do require having at least a high school diploma and proficiency in English skills. To become certified, you must meet internationally recognized standards which typically include at least one hundred hours of coursework, 6 to 20 hours of live practice teaching and observation, and an accredited curriculum from a recognized organization.
If you wish to become TEFL certified, you can take either an online or an in-person course as long as it meets the internationally recognized standards as identified above. Whichever avenue you choose, you'll be expected to carve out time for your TEFL course work and follow through on assignments. Another benefit of enrolling in our Los Angeles TEFL certification training is that all sessions are led by experienced instructors who are familiar with the process of becoming TEFL certified and the material that is covered. Through in-depth discussions, you'll be able to learn even more about different aspects of teaching English from simplifying English grammar to planning effective lessons and managing a classroom. Just like in a real classroom setting you'll be able to interact directly with the instructor leading the course and get answers to any questions that you might have.
Learning in a collaborative environment offers a more effective way to review and reinforce the material. You'll be learning in a virtual setting with other prospective TEFL candidates with the same goal as you of becoming certified to teach English. During course discussions, you can share insights with each other and even gain valuable knowledge from personal experiences. Your instructor can also assign various exercises to help you practice certain points like teaching complex grammar and vocabulary to English learners. As you work through your assignments from an accredited TEFL course, your instructor can even provide feedback and make comments based on your work. Learning in this manner alongside others with the guidance of an experienced instructor provides a much more engaging learning experience. No matter what your motivations are for wanting to become TEFL certified, you can rely on the Los Angeles TEFL certification course by Varsity Tutors to help you prepare in more efficient ways. Should you need additional help on working through your coursework, you can always request one-on-one sessions with your instructor at a convenient time outside of the course.
Even if you are a fluent English speaker, you may not necessarily know the best way to teach English grammar, how to manage a class, or how to prepare effective materials. While an accredited program will give you materials to review on your own, you may run into questions on your assignments that you may not be entirely sure of. For example, you may find it difficult to simplify complex English grammar concepts or plan lessons that meet learning objectives. These are all skills you'll be expected to learn to become TEFL certified. The instructor for your Los Angeles TEFL certification training class can help clarify any questions that you might have about your classwork or even answer any related questions about teaching English in a foreign country.
If your dream is to travel and work abroad, teaching English is a great way to make that come true. Obtaining your TEFL certificate can provide you with the skills you need to manage a classroom and even open many job opportunities to you. While you may be able to find employment with a language school without certification, candidates that have a TEFL certification may be able to earn a higher salary. For additional support to become TEFL certified from an accredited organization, simply get in touch with Varsity Tutors online or by phone. Our friendly educational consultants are more than happy to answer any questions you might have and can help enroll you in an upcoming Los Angeles TEFL certification class that fits into your schedule.
