OnTesol Review by Susan Nielsen, April 30, 2009

This course, the full course with the three modules, was simply fantastic! Being my first on-line learning experience, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. But with seven years of teaching experience, I had never expected anything so interesting, challenging, and enlightening. Practice oriented tasks and assignments filled with helpful tips and super feedback made the work inspiring. I am definitely a better teacher now. Ontesol offers a first-rate course that I can confidently recommend to anyone looking for further qualifications in the ESL field or simply wanting to solidify their proficiency in teaching.

OnTesol Review by Richard UK, August 9, 2009

I was impressed with the organization of the course, both the admin office and my
tutor were quick to respond to any queries i had. With regards to my tutor I thought that the support she gave me throughout the course was excellent and the comments she offered when marking my assignments were insightful and helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a reputable online TEFL course

OnTesol Review by Wayne Letcher, August 10, 2009

I have to say I truly enjoyed the readings, the task and assignments.
Before starting this course I was somewhat arrogant in my attitude, having
taught English in Korea for six years already. I was unsure of how much I
would benefit from the material. Not only was the course interesting, but
it quickly uncovered some misconceptions I had had regarding English
grammar and it refined my teaching techniques. I now have more confidence
and feel that I can do a more worthy job in my classes. This course also
despelled the doubts I had regarding online courses, which I used to think
may not be worthy

OnTesol Review by Lisa Beauregard, September 2, 2009

I took the 250-hour course and I was very pleased with the course content, organization, administration, and tutoring. ONTESOL delivered on its promises. Administration responded promptly and professionally. Being in Foreign Language teaching for almost 20 years, I was impressed with the course content. It was both concise and comprehensive. I particularly appreciated the grammar and phonology sections and references. Regarding my tutor, I was very impressed by his professional competence and linguistic ability. He is a most talented writer! I bombarded him with questions of minutia and forwarded assignments in bursts. He seemed to take it all in stride. He made me feel at ease and guided me well through my challenges. Perhaps most importantly, my tutor managed to bridge the virtual gap to become a real person rather than a black and white email response to my queries. I’m not sure how he did this, but I am thankful and commend him for his skill in this regard.

OnTesol Review by Peter Nguyen, September 10, 2009

Ontesol’s course was perfect for me because I could work on the assignments when
and where I wanted. In addition, I really appreciated the guidance and
advice my tutor gave me for the assignments, tasks and exams I handed in.
The comments left on my every assignment and exam have been very detailed
and helpful!

OnTesol Review by jeannie, September 26, 2009

This course was amazing! I could have just gone to South Korea with my Bachelor of
Arts degree to teach but to be honest I am really glad that I took the 100-hour course
before applying to go. This course is extremely informative and will give you a
great deal of knowledge on teaching English. A lot of great resources are brought to
your attention and a lot of great teaching methods are shown to prepare you to teach
and to be successful at your teaching. I highly recommend this course to anyone
interested.

OnTesol Review by Scott, October 16, 2009

I took the 100-hour Ontesol course in order to learn and to get a formal qualification for my C.V.
Language schools here in Istanbul are familiar with the Ontesol course and regard it as a good one. I found the course better than I expected. The course materials are excellent. The tutor whom I had, Claudia, was expert in both English and in teaching English. She was always there to help with any questions and corrected assignments giving lots of explanation about what was good and what was not-so-good. You can also re-do the assignment after this input and increase your score. Taking the course on-line gives you great flexibility. You can work on it whenever you want, even wherever you want. There is plenty of time to finish the course. I am a very happy customer.

OnTesol Review by Nasim Naji, January 7, 2010

I absolutely love the 100 hour - TEFL course. I have used these methods in my lesson plans and I have received some good feedback from my colleagues. I was nominated to talk about my creative, effective lesson plans in a training session

I do recommend it to anyone who is willing to take his/her professional career a couple of steps up.

Good Luck everyone and thank you ONTESOL

OnTesol Review by Rita Chen, January 26, 2010

I chose Ontesol.com based on positive reviews from past students. I am happy to say that I am very pleased with my decision. Despite having experience teaching, I still learned new things from the 100 hour certificate course. I particularly enjoyed the Phonology module. My emails to both my tutor and Ontesol.com were always promptly responded to, and my tutor was very encouraging and informative. Needless to say, I greatly enjoyed my experience and I am now considering upgrading to the 250 hour course.

OnTesol Review by Aldo Nieto, February 10, 2010

I took some online courses for accounting at university and professors didn’t provide half the support that my tutor provided at Ontesol. He answered my questions on time and challenged me with excellent feedback on each and every assignment. The course was intensive but I feel I’ve become a much more dynamic teacher than I used to be. I feel more comfortable in front of my students and they seem to enjoy my classes a whole lot more.

OnTesol Review by Reda Dashti, February 11, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Avivit Mussel, March 2, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Cristina Pou, March 5, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Alex Burrall, March 7, 2010

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 rushing
and rather learning and working at my own pace. It was a great experience.

Thank you OnTesol staff!

OnTesol Review by Thomas Pollack, April 2, 2010

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!

OnTesol Review by Heather Laman, April 12, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Paul Milner, April 21, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Jacqueline Veldhuis, May 20, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Fernnie, May 24, 2010

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.

OnTesol Review by Alex Cepeda, June 26, 2010

Ontesol’s 250-hour course was excellent! My tutor was very professional and the content was highly interactive, with videos for class observation and very thought provoking assignments. The staff also gave me a lot of information about teaching in different countries and resources that helped me land a well-paid job in Spain.

OnTesol Review by Maddy Williams, June 28, 2010

I was very surprised at how much I learnt with the 100-hour course. I was looking for a brief introduction to TEFL and Ontesol challenged me more than a third year university course. As a native speaker, I though I knew everything about grammar but this course helped to prepare lessons in an interesting way. I couldn’t ask for more for only $275.

OnTesol Review by Rudolf Kurz, July 5, 2010

I took the 250 hour online course and was very happy with the content and the feedback. I have no prior experience teaching English, but I am sure this course has helped me on my way to become a good teacher.

This was the first time I have taken an online course and the convenience of being able to learn in my own house and at my own pace was great! The only drawback was the lack of personal contact.

I enjoyed the practicum very much. Staff went out of their way to organize this for me and give me guidance.

I recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English as a second language.

OnTesol Review by Thuy Marchal, July 10, 2010

I had a great experience with Ontesol from the moment of initial contact with them to completion of my courses. Registration was quick and I was able to start my 100 hour TESOL immediately. My tutor was very friendly, responsive and encouraging. Whatever questions I had, she provided me with thorough answers and additional links for further reading and study. It was to my benefit to have had a tutor with so many years of teaching experience who could guide me through the course.

I would highly recommend Ontesol to anyone who is considering taking an online TESOL course. The staff are professional, the tutor is excellent in her knowledge of course material and the course itself offers great ideas for use in the classroom. I look forward to using what I’ve learned with Ontesol in the classrooms in Shanghai where I plan to teach.

OnTesol Review by Dan Katzaf, August 7, 2010

I was teaching English without certification until a colleague recommended Ontesol. My lessons improved from the very first day I started the methodology module. I stopped my dependency on old textbooks when I learnt to prepare activities and use different tools to present a topic. My students enjoy my classes a lot more and I feel much better about myself.

OnTesol Review by Danielle Barker, August 10, 2010

The 100-hour course is perfect for anyone taking the first step into teaching. There is a lot more feedback than I expected from an online course. My tutor answered quickly to my inquiries and she made excellent suggestions to improve my lesson plans. The grammar module came in very handy for someone who hasn’t studied grammar since high school. I highly recommend Ontesol!!!

OnTesol Review by Teresa Canoza, August 18, 2010

The online 100-Hour TESOL was an outstanding course to start my teaching career. I taught English in Chile for 9 months and had an amazing time. The school offers a lot of information prior to enrollment, free teaching resources, and discounts on the more intensive courses if I ever want to upgrade my certificate.

OnTesol Review by Laura W, August 24, 2010

I’ve had a first-rate experience with ONTESOL. I took the 100-hour course,
and felt that all of the course content was entirely relevant, particularly
for someone completely new to teaching English. As for me, the Methodology
module, which provided practice in developing lesson plans, was the most
challenging and informative part of the course.

What really impressed me the most however was my tutor, Ainsley. I’ve
completed a lot of classroom as well as a couple online courses in the past,
but the feedback and support that she provided was unparalleled. Not only
were my assignments graded in record time, but I also received what was
perhaps the most detailed and useful comments on my work, ever! I have
absolutely no regrets bout choosing ONTESOL and I would highly recommend the
100-hour course to anyone who’s hoping to head into the TESOL/TEFL world.

OnTesol Review by TC, August 30, 2010

I was completely satisfied with the 250 hour course. I already had many years experience teaching ESL and was interested in updating my qualifications, but needed to find a TESL Canada approved course that fit my full-time teaching schedule. Being online, ONTESOL.COM allowed me to work at my own pace, and the content was an excellent mix of well-organized, clear lessons and personal support from a tutor who checked the homework and tests. I learned new ways of teaching subjects I´d been teaching for years. I would recommend the course to anyone.
