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!

OnTesol is a wonderful educational program for both those seeking ESL jobs and those who simply want education in English grammar, phonology, and teaching methods. Through this program I received a certificate that will benefit me for future teaching opportunities abroad. There are so many things that are beneficial about this program, including revision of English grammar, phonology, numerous methods by which to teach English and providing me with information about ESL job opportunities after completion of the course. There is so much I have learned through this program and so many opportunities it will provide me. I am so thankful to the tutors OnTesol has on hand, providing good ideas for lesson planning, providing constructive criticism and honest feedback that helped me understand and complete the course in a comfortable manner. The course time was perfect as it gave me enough time to complete all the required tasks without rushingand rather learning and working at my own pace. It was a great experience.

I feel ready to embark on this new journey as an ESL teacher after completing Ontesol’s 100-hour TESOL and 60-hour TEYL courses. The school exceeded my expectations of online education as I found both courses to be extremely challenging and fulfilling.

I am a French teacher and have the opportunity of teaching ESL at the International school where I work but felt I needed a bit more training in English in spite of the fact that I have been teaching for many years.

I enrolled in the 100 hour Ontesol course and have found it very interesting and stimulating. This was my first on/line course. The course material to be down loaded was interesting, with plenty of new, fresh ideas and the tutor I worked with was fast with her feedback and gave me plenty of suggestions to think about.

The course material was well put together and every chapter has practice questions which are usefull.

All in all, a good experience and I found it a great advantage being able to time my work and do the assignments whenever it was convenient to me, so even with a full time job, the course was manageable.

The 100-hour online course has been just right in my case, as I’m working full-time, and wanted a taster of the techniques and theories of TEFL. It has been quite demanding in terms of lesson plans, which are new to me, but the tutor support on that has been great.

I needed to take an online course to study part-time while I finished my degree and Ontesol exceeded my expectations. I thought a TESOL course was going to be easy but I’m glad the assignments were intensive and my tutor challenged me to become a better teacher with her suggestions to improve my lesson plans.

Their job placement service was good enough for me. Although they did not directly help me to find a job, I got several job offers from Japan in less than 3 weeks with the list of schools they provided.

I wished I took the 250-hour program before starting my teaching career in Korea back in 2007 as there is an enormous difference between this program and the introductory course I took at another institution.

-My tutor, Kathleen, was very experience. She guided me through the program at every step and provided excellent feedback to every assignment.

-The course was very interactive, with tasks that included video class observations and intensive assignments that prepared me to create real lesson plans.

-The staff was excellent and helped me set up my practicum in Korea without any extra cost so I could return to Canada and start teaching right away.

I highly recommend Ontesol to anyone who is interested in becoming a professional ESL teacher!

I first took the 100-hour course with TEYL and was amazed at how much I learned. My tutor answered my questions in less than 24 hours and made excellent comments on my assignments. I had just graduated from university and didn’t expect that an online teacher training course would be so dynamic. I’ve been teaching in Costa Rica for 9 months while I continued with the 250-hour course and just got a job offer from Australia!! :). From my experience, I believe that it’s necessary to take a TESOL course before getting a job and I have recommended Ontesol to my co-workers and will continue to do so because they provided me with an excellent education as well as they’ve been very professional in counseling me about different teaching destinations.

I began the course after a year’s experience teaching English in Japan. My co-workers thought it was an odd decision to invest time and money in getting a teaching certificate after already having a job (and a very good one, I must say) but I always enjoy studying and I thought that getting proper teaching training can’t hurt my self-confidence nor my resume. And so I decided to go for it.

I chose this course over hundreds of other accredited online courses since its syllabus, its length and its price were what I was looking for, and since I had a good feeling about it when I read through the website. I hoped it was a good choice.

Now that I’ve completed the course, I can say it for sure – it was an excellent choice! I’m so glad I took this course. It was interesting, enjoyable and challenging, and I’ve learned so much from each and every one of its parts. Since I’ve been teaching at the same time I could actually see my improvement right away and it felt amazing to use in my lessons all I’ve been taught in the course. As I hoped, both my teaching skills and my confidence as a teacher have improved significantly.

I was very happy with the way the course is organized and with its content. As for the tutor, Claudia, I couldn’t ask for a better guidance as she was always there, sharing ideas and giving advice in her special super-professional, yet personal, way. I can’t thank her enough for that.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for a good, professional, interesting, reasonably-priced accredited online TESOL course – you’ve found it.

I want to say that what I had to pay for this course was, for what I received in return, a great bargain! The modules were full of useful and concise information, and the assignments and the consistent commitment from the tutor to provide support and thorough evaluation were all very valuable. I was pleasantly surprised, and am appreciative.

I will definitely need to use the information and advice I received from the modules and the tutor, for my future career in teaching esl. Thank you Claudia for your commitment, and hope you all keep it up.
