The TEFL course taken at ITTO was an intense and stressful but doable. The instructor, Marc Del Alto, was very helpful and professional making the experience much more feasible. The course content covered a wide range of variety of subjects but was not extensive which is to be expected of such a short program. The teaching practices were by far my favorite part and, in my opinion, the most useful as well. These practices give real feedback to you as a student from the most important source- students themselves. The feedback given from observing instructors was beneficial but at some times quite vague. I chose to look for online jobs and not use the placement in Mexico offered. The school basically emails you contacts for online job search platforms and sites. You will need to be prepared to do your own job hunting. The course was enjoyable considering the circumstances and expectations.
However, I give the overall rating of the program three stars due to the complications of housing and communication. There were several blunders on the school’s end which caused uncomfortable and awkward situations where I was in the middle. The school offers housing placement programs but the true accommodations of the homestay were not accurately portrayed. This added stress to an already stress-filled educational experience.
In short, my advice is to take the course but not to rely on the housing services offered. Find your own accommodations. Have every agreement and communication in writing for communication purposes should misunderstandings arise.
Tips:
– ask about promotions such as free events or tours offered
– choose your own housing (air b&b or local hostels)
– bring your own computer
– be prepared with professional attire (no sneakers, jeans, etc.)
