I chose International TEFL Academy because after my first conversation with an advisor I felt comfortable and at ease. The advisor was very patient and answered my many questions and hypotheticals. I felt that this was a place where I would get the support and guidance I would need to take the next step.

I chose ITA primarily because of their huge and active alumni community which has been an invaluable source of information and encouragement throughout my experience - it was definitely a good choice.

Teaches English in Italy

Kevin Iannone

The TEFL course in Florence was rigorous and rewarding. It was described as an intensive course and this was no idle boast. I liked it very much. The difficulty of the coursework prepared me for the challenges of foreign language instruction and I cannot imagine teaching English without the training I received.
