More comments from our students:

"Our TEFL instructors were of the highest caliber. The course taught me so much in four weeks that it is difficult to believe. Among other things, I gained invaluable experience in isolating my objectives, putting together and teaching from a lesson plan. The course also showed me some valuable tools for finding a good job. An outstanding value." Mary Pope  Interest Group leader, Harvard Neighbors, Harvard University
