Description

OnTESOL was developed by Coventry House International, the only school in North America that offers Trinity CertTESOL courses, to provide students with the flexibility of taking an internationally recognized TESOL/TEFL course online.

We offer a 120-hour online TESOL program, which is recognized by TESL Canada Professional Standard 1 and ACTDEC UK Level 3, and a 250-hour online TESOL program, which is recognized by TESL Canada Professional Standard 2 and ACTDEC UK Level 5.

The Advanced 120-hour TESOL Certificate is perfect for those who want to teach English in Canada or abroad because it is very similar to CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL. The 250-hour TESOL Diploma is perfect for those who want to pursue a teaching career because it goes deeper into various lesson planning formats and teaching methods.

Our Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL), Teaching Business English Course (TBEC), Teaching IELTS, and Teaching Online specialist programs prepare trainees for specific classroom situations. Save $200 when you add a specialist to any of our TESOL course packages!

The course has really been a very interesting and enlightening one. The teachers are very professional about their job. They are also very helpful and very experienced.

The 250 hour Diploma course is very good and internationally recognized. I have been getting a lot of offers since completing the course.

If you want an internationally recognized TESOL certificate enroll in Coventry International House. I did and I have never regretted it. I am just happy that I made that decision.

I strongly recommend this course to anybody that wants a TESOL from one of the best and recognized course providers in the world.

I had a few years of teaching experience when I signed up, and I wasn’t expecting to learn a lot from a teaching course at that stage in my career, but the OnTesol program was such a pleasant surprise! The course material was interesting, complete with examples, and the assignments were practical but open-ended so I really got to try out what I had learned. My lessons have changed for the better since I took this course and I’d highly recommend it to any foreign language teacher.

After researching and reviewing TESOL courses locally, as well as online, I made the decision to take the 100 hour online TESOL program with Ontesol. I have to say that it was a great investment. The quality of material is high and quite relevant. My tutor was always available for questions and gave the most thorough, in depth, feedback for my assignments. Lesson planning, in the methodology chapter, is such a valuable tool for any teacher. I was really pleased with my experience and would highly recommend Ontesol.

I recently completed the 100-hour course, and had a positive experience throughout the duration of my studies. The course content was laid out in a logical and useful manner and I can honestly say that I learned more from the course than I thought I would. My interaction with the tutor were highly professional, yet also warm and friendly, and all the feedback was much welcomed. I highly recommend ONTESOL to everyone.

I had to get TESL Canada certified and Ontesol seemed right for me after considering accreditation, experience, flexibility, and price. The methodology module covers everything about teaching and does so in a very practical manner. The assignments were crucial to learn how to meet the objectives for every stage of a lesson. Thanks to these assignments and the support of my tutor, I learned how to present a topic, create activities, and use tools communicatively. There were a few other tasks that helped me reflect on different methods and the grammar and phonology courses were very important but I would say that the 20 assignments were the most valuable. Last, the practicum was very important to obtain the experience I was lacking and learn how to follow the steps I had planned with confidence. I would recommend Ontesol to everyone.

Ontesol was the right fit for me because I could study whenever I had some free time. There is a lot more studying than I had anticipated. Having a tutor made a big difference for me because I never took an online course so I was a bit scared at first. He let me ask all the questions I had and answered quickly, professionally and with great accuracy.

Ontesol’s customer service was also very good. The staff knows a lot about the industry and kindly replies to any questions. I received a few offers before I finished the course and they replied to my questions with a lot information that helped me secure the best position. I highly recommend Ontesol. Cheers!

Overall a pretty solid experience. It should be noted that I took both the 100-hour TESOL course, as well as the 60-hour TEYL course. Both Instructors for my classes had extensive backgrounds in ESL with 19+years of experience, and around 30 years of experience respectively.

Course content was pretty useful, and I will be referring back to it as I begin my career as a Teacher. The quality of feedback was also excellent. The Instructors especially took the time to critique the assigned sample lesson plans, and gave pointers on how to better organize a class.

One thing to note is that with online classes, Job Placement can be hard. They have a database, but I have found work privately. Also, keep in mind that nothing can be substituted for real-life practice, so be prepared to make some mistakes and learn from them.

A 5 stars experience! I chose the 100-hour program after I spent about a week researching among schools from Canada and America. The office responded quickly the first time and continued to answer all of my questions in a very short time and in a very professional manner at every turn. The grammar and phonology modules are excellent resources that will be useful for years to come and the methodology module gets to the heart of teaching, with a lot of theory and practice that helped me understand how to meet the needs of my students using interactive lesson plans. My tutor, Kathy, was also very important for my success and I am very thankful for her support.

The course is great!

I spent weeks trying to find a good online course. I definitely made the right choice. All the staff is very professional and friendly. I was impressed with the administration office which responded promptly to all my questions. As for my tutor Claudia, she was very encouraging and graded my assignment in less than 24 hours.

As a non native English speaker I was quite nervous about taking the course, but all the modules are very easy to understand and very well structured.

I truly felt like I was preparing for my first day as a teacher from the very beginning of the course.

The last module which is lesson planning was very challenging, but it was also my favorite part of the course. I liked that it forced me to be creative and think outside the box.

I definitely learned a lot.

Do not hesitate to take the course. It is absolutely great!

I truly enjoyed the online 100-hour course offered by OnTesol. Not only were the modules, assignments, tasks, and exams interesting and thought-provoking, but I feel that they have better prepared me for teaching English abroad. I never realized before how much I took for granted with respect to English, and I am glad that I took this course to better understand the English language. Moreover, my tutor (Junesse) was very helpful and taught me a lot through her detailed suggestions, comments, and answers to my questions. Overall, this course provided a lot of useful information, like a detailed revision of English grammar, phonology, and numerous methods by which to teach English. I especially liked that I was given the opportunity to come up with my own lesson plans, as I had never made a lesson plan before. I am confident that this experience, too, will aid me in teaching English abroad. If you’re planning on teaching English in another country, I would definitely recommend taking a course offered by OnTesol; you won’t regret it.
