Much of the time, certain teaching markets are "better fits" for individual graduates due to things like levels of experience, age, gender, financial obligations and types of visas they are eligible to obtain based on the various Departments of Immigration and their ever changing policies and procedures. By earning your TEFL certificate with us and following our advice in finding jobs, you will be assured of finding work in your new career.

We at Paradise TEFL hold  a fully accredited and globally recognized TEFL English Language Certification  program (recognized for our high number of fully employed graduates) We strive not only for our students  to learn successful English teaching concepts with the latest proven strategies and methods, but actually do so in a three week observed practice  teaching setting, rather than a theoretical classroom environment.

We recommend that whichever TEFL or TESOL program you choose, it has a practical approach you can really use, not only a theoretical one, for a classroom that no longer exists.It is important to be sure that the certification program you select provides you with the kind of hands on training, stimulating activities, and supportive classroom management techniques that you need to not only enjoy your work, but to achieve the kind of rapport your students actually need to make learning meaningful, relevant and fun!

Graduates from other TEFL/TESL courses have told me horror stories about their training course: not delivering much of what was promised to them, spending precious coursework time on irrelevant material that one never uses in teaching and feeling unprepared for the job at hand.  You will not experience this with Paradise TEFL. They took the time to understand first, our experience in the teaching world and tailored the program to us in the realistic role we would be placed in. The training is experiential, which could not happen without the knowledge Paradise TEFL instructors possesses of the field including cultural sensitivity.  Furthermore, Paradise TEFL helped us tremendously with placement based on our time and location preferences resulting in a very rich experience of living and teaching in the Thai culture.  Paradise TEFL has also been solid in staying in touch with their students after graduating in an advisory and supportive role.  I would not hesitate to recommend Paradise TEFL to anyone interested in a satisfying teaching abroad experience.

 

At Paradise TEFL Portland, we offer not only the basic certification but additional advanced degrees for only $200 extra (enrollment in the Advanced Certifications such as TOEFL, TOEIC, TEYL, TBE, TESP without the basic TEFL is $300). Graduates with these additional certifications have the advantage of substantially increasing their marketability and employment status.
