Description

Promise Opens Doors is an online English language instruction organization based in Missouri. Since 2004, we have provided high quality online English language lessons to over 13,000 students in East Asia.

Promise Opens Doors is proud to offer the 60-hour TEFL Certificate for Online Teaching and the 120-hour Comprehensive TEFL Certificate Program for In-person and Online Teaching. Our programs have been created by our teaching staff who have years of experience in online English language teaching.

Our program prepares a teacher to work with English as a Foreign Language students in real-time, online, and in-person classroom settings. The program is primarily focused on working with secondary school students, but there are resources and content focusing on young learners and young adults as well, making sure our participants get the full spectrum.

As a mark of the quality and preparation our certificate programs provide, participants are required to complete teaching practicum in order to graduate. There simply is no substitute for live experience!

The teaching practicum requirement goes hand-in-hand with our class offerings to EFL learners. Practicum participants are placed in our online classrooms and since practicum teaching is unpaid, Promise is better able to serve underprivileged youth across the world by offering them free-to very low cost courses with these teachers.

Hello, I’m Agnes, a final-year student majoring in English Literature at Jakarta International University in Indonesia. I recently completed the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate program conducted by Promise Opens Doors. I am grateful for the opportunity to have undertaken this program. It was really great! where I could learn practical teaching skills, effective communication, discussion with the community even personal growth. Also, the guidance and feedback from experienced instructors were super helpful. I highly recommend this program to everyone who is looking for a meaningful impact in the field of language education.

I recently completed the TEFL Program by Promise Opens Doors, and I must say, the practicum component is exceptional. The hands-on experience allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge effectively.

Discovering new facets of teaching was enlightening, and the course content expanded my understanding. The online platform proved convenient, enabling me to learn from anywhere. However, the downside lies in occasional connectivity issues, disrupting the learning flow.

While the program deserves a rave for its practical approach, addressing the online connectivity challenges could significantly enhance the overall experience.

Hi everybody! I’m Angel from Indonesia. First of all, I would like to thank every party who contributed to the success of my TEFL certification, including this program team. I couldn’t have done this without your support, guidance, and encouragement. Taking this program was a great and enjoyable experience for me as I spent my 6 months learning about teaching English to develop my career in education. Through this program, I learned about SLA approaches and methods, classroom management and technology, online teaching technology, teaching receptive skills, and so on. During my on-site practicum teaching, I learned to prepare lesson plans and teaching materials as well. This program provided feedback on my progress, reminded me of deadlines, and assisted me in achieving this certification. I hope more people will experience this helpful program.

Thank you for Promise Opens Doors for providing the Doors.

I am a university student from Indonesia. I took the TEFL certificate program from Promise Opens Doors for approximately 9 months. I feel beyond grateful to learn in this platform that it expands my opportunities in the field that I am passionate about which is teaching. There are four courses and each of the courses has several modules and activities that I need to finish. I learn about online teaching technology, lesson planning and assessment, teaching language skills, and the last I am informed about the career I might choose by having the certificate. What I love the most about this program is that Promise Opens Doors not only provides theories but also gives us chance to implement what we learn into practice. In the practicum, I teach teenagers for 10 hours of teaching and by that, I can be improved in the way I teach by having feedbacks from the supervisor. Thank you, Promise Opens Doors for opening more opportunities for me by the teaching skills I have now.

I really love every single step I did with Promise Open Doors,

I am Bobby, an English Literature student who was not sure about my skill and ability in teaching, but when I learned the TEFL module I know this is my chance to be skillful and professional.

After finishing the module I continuously practice the module in the classroom setting. I was teaching English Basic Grammar and English Pronunciation Practice, all things are prepared very detail and specific.

Thanks a lot Promise Open Doors, may you help many more people to open their door in order to archiving their dreams.

I’m from Indonesia and I’ve completed the 120-Hour Comprehensive TEFL Certificate Program for In-Person and Online Teaching. This program is a great chance to grow and be a competent teacher. The teacher assistant and success coach were very responsive and encouraging. They actively give feedback on every assignment, remind me about my progress, and always encourage me until I complete the program. I learned how to manage classroom technology, make lesson plans and assessments, manage language skills in the class, and the most broad-minded course about TEFL careers in many countries as well as about how to deal with it. One of my favorite parts of this program is that Promise open doors not only provide a theory but also gave me a chance to have a teaching practicum in-person for 10 hours. This is effective for me to apply all the theories that I’ve learned and experience the teacher lives in a class. This program is recommended for all teachers who want to master the teaching field. Thank You Promise Open Doors!

Cheers from Indonesia🥂

I have completed the TESOL course through Promise Open Doors given a great background on the history of English teachings; what methods were effective and are still effective today as well as the latest in technology assisted ideas, study principles, tutorials and so much more. All efforts are offered and directed to ensure the best possible success of their new language teachers. I appreciate all the patience and important recommendations provided by master teachers. GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE.!!!!

Promise Opens Doors’ online certificate course was so wonderful and in depth. I learned so much to help with my career through each of the 5 organized topics divided into 10 modules. They taught about topics like approaches and methods, receptive and productive language, lesson structures, navigating through online teaching platforms, troubleshooting, helping with our TESOL career, many many resources, an observations section, and an optional practicum. This course was so helpful with well rounded curriculum. The teacher assistant was always helpful and responsive, making the course so much more enjoyable. The only cons I felt were the need for some more depth on the technical language teaching, and also it would be better if that program was accredited by the TESOL Intl. Association. Other than that, felt I benefited so much by taking this program and am very grateful to have learned everything!
