I just finished the on-line portion of the course. Now I have to finish the 2nd phase – grammar. In regards to the on-line portion of the class, it was fantastic. John T, our instructor, was excellent at teach others how to teach. He had a unique style that was not over dominating, and it flowed well. When he taught, he implemented what he was teaching, therefore practicing what he was preaching essentially. With his teaching style, I felt it allowed us to grow individually as well as in our group. He had many life experiences that he shared with us that could help us understand what some potential expectations as ESL teachers could be, roadblocks but also all the rewards too! Additionally, we got to understand effective learning styles for ESL teachers. I appreciated how our class of 17 was really encouraging of each other and grew close within 3 weeks. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I look forward to seeing the fruits of this course.

Thank you, Oxford Seminars!

The course had a good material base, made great by 1. a fantastic teacher (John Taylor) who brought his experience and charisma to the fore, and 2. a great bunch of other students. I was a bit hesitant to take an online Zoom course, but in the end it was a great experience, perhaps even better thna if it had been in person.

The only downside are the weaknesses of the Zoom medium itself, but it’s a small issue.

John is a great facilitator with tons of real world experience so you feel from the start of the class you have an authentic TESL teacher. In a short period of time – you gain confidence and start to believe that you could also become a TESL teacher. Much gratitude for sharing your wisdom, expertise and patience.

This one seems legit. I was skeptical but I think I got my money’s worth. I felt that it prepared me reasonably well. Better than I thought it would be. I would recommend. We will see if it gets me a job, but the placement service seems to be top notch.

A great course with an opportunity to connect with other teachers beginning their journey in ESL! The practicum teaching experience was very useful and exciting to put the skills into practice. So many resources shared, and I feel very confident that this course will lead directly to additional work opportunities doing something fun and interesting! Thank you!

I had a great experience with Oxford seminars! I enjoyed the course and felt like it prepared me well. The instructors were super positive and involved, and I could tell they actually cared about getting me ready to teach. The job placement program was very helpful and I was able to quickly get a job in one of my chosen countries! They stayed in contact with me during the process and my recruiter Madeline made sure I understood everything that was happening. I ended up staying for multiple years in my school and had a great time. Overall it was a great experience and I’d recommend it to anyone who was interested in teaching abroad.
