Varsity Tutors offers TESOL certification training that can assist you as you reach for your top goals on your TESOL program. TESOL is a blanket term that covers both TEFL and TESL certifications. These are two of the most widely-recognized English teaching certifications in the world. TESOL is a well-known name in the education industry, and a TESOL certification can help you excel as an English language teacher, both domestically and internationally. If you join the TESOL International Association's membership program, you can hone your English teaching skills with virtual seminars, online courses, and many other useful tools. Many international employers will seek out only English teachers with TESOL qualifications under their belt. Taking the time to earn these certifications can help you financially fuel your travels as you explore different countries as an English teacher. With all those benefits laid out, TESOL certifications can still be extremely challenging to acquire. A Pittsburgh TESOL certification training course can help you approach this challenge with a disciplined mindset and a sense of preparedness.
If you dream of traveling the world and teaching English to students in countries where it's not the main language, a TEFL certification can help you teach your goals. On the other hand, a TESL certification is geared specifically towards English teachers who want to remain in English-speaking nations and teach non-native English speakers. It all depends on your priorities and your career goals. You won't find a universally applicable degree or certification that is recognized in every nation, but certain employers will ask for very specific TESOL certifications from a particular organization or university.
Whether you've chosen a TESOL program that takes a few weeks or several semesters to complete, you could face a considerable challenge. Deadlines can be tough to meet, especially when you're tackling coursework crammed into a short time. Practicum can be unnerving, and it represents a high-pressure training scenario. A Pittsburgh TESOL certification course could be instrumental in helping you overcome these hurdles. Instructors have a deep understanding of the TESOL Core Certificate Program, the Advanced Practitioner TESOL Certificate, and the Developing an Online Teaching Program TESOL Certificate. Each instructor can use strong communication skills to clearly explain important topics such as managing disruptive behavior, assessing reading proficiency, prosody, and much more. Coursework and practicum are the focus of TESOL certification programs, not final assessments. Because of this, your instructor can focus on helping you develop time-management skills and other strategies aimed at these two important factors.
A Pittsburgh TESOL certification class is a very collaborative, interactive educational experience. Instead of listening to your instructor talk for hours, you'll have the opportunity to chime in with your questions and comments. Your fellow students will have the same level of freedom, and this can lead to productive, lively classroom discussions where new ideas and concepts are explored in depth.
It can be challenging to find the time to attend a study course, especially when you're forced to travel across town to an educational facility. But with these online courses, you can eliminate travel time by studying from the comfort of your own home. Because your studies take place entirely in the virtual world, you can access your course anywhere that offers a stable internet connection. This might be an especially helpful option for busy working professionals or students. Perhaps you're studying at the University of Pittsburgh or Duquesne University. You can also choose from a wide selection of flexible scheduling options, including two-week and four-week courses. New courses start monthly, and you can sign up today. Just call Varsity Tutors, and we can help you enroll in Pittsburgh TESOL certification training.
