St. George International Review
 Saint George International (SGI) has been running high quality, good-value teacher training courses in London since the summer of 1993. The beginning of this year saw us proudly chalk up our two thousandth newly-qualified English language teacher who successfully completed one of our highly-regarded and globally-recognised Trinity College London validated Cert TESOL courses. This is an excellent qualification providing very solid and thorough training for those with little or no prior teaching experience and who wish to teach English either overseas or in the UK.

One Customer Review of “St. George International”
St. George International Review by Tim, March 26, 2010
It is a very well run course with some great trainers but not particularly inspired by the TRINITY course content.
Too much work was done on student profile and on one to one lessons when that should be about 5% of the course since most people want this for classroom teaching than giving individual lessons. Yet, in terms of workload the student profile was probably about 50%.
Practice teaching was good in terms of the structure on how to deliver a lesson. But in terms of the overall lesson, there were nothing on classroom management skills which the students had to pick up themselves.
Quality of feedback was great and probably the best thing on the course.
Lesson plan guidance was only done for the first two lessons and although the trainers were opened to talk to you about lessons plans, they were usually too busy to talk you through them properly. This was done during feedback instead.
Most of the instructors were exceptional. However, one of the instructor was poor and that was a real let down considering the intensity of the course.
There weren’t anything on job placements which I had hoped to find and the facilities were not great with 15 students sharing two computers that kept crashing. The place is very small place with tiny rooms. Should have gone for a visit before I took the course.
