Every Teyl-JAPAN course participant is assigned a personal tutor.
Tutors are experienced teachers who have completed a special mentoring
course developed in cooperation with Aoyama Gakuin University.
Your tutor is there to answer all your questions about the course
and guide you to certification. While enrolled in the course you
will have unlimited access to your own personal trainer-mentor.

The Teyl-JAPAN course contains a large database of information
related to English teaching - reports on the latest EFL research,
tips and tricks to apply in your classroom, lesson ideas and everything
else you’ll need to make sure your students enjoy learning English
with you.

There are many advantages to taking an online course. In fact, most
learners prefer online learning to traditional, and more restricted,
classroom learning. Here are a few of the benefits of studying online:
| ■ |
You can keep teaching while
you take the course. |
| ■ |
You can study from anywhere in the world. |
| ■ |
You can study at your own pace. |
| ■ |
You can review less familiar concepts and
skim over well-known material. |
| ■ |
You can "re-learn" material at
any time. |
| ■ |
You can start or finish the course whenever
you want. |
| ■ |
You can have more one-on-one contact time
with your tutor than in a regular training course. |
| ■ |
There are fewer time pressures and less
stress. |
| ■ |
The interactive components of an online
course will give you immediate response or feedback. |
| ■ |
Course fees are lower and there are no
hidden transportation or lodging costs. In addition, no
income is lost because of time off work. |

This course is primarily designed for teachers with some experience
in teaching English to young learners. Those who have no teaching
experience will need to complement their studies with teaching practice
to become fully certified.
