COVID19 and TESOL Certification
With current restrictions due to COVID-19 and subsequent online learning acceleration, the Teach TESOL program provides educators and students alike the opportunity to engage with the process of leaning regardless of shifting circumstance.

Our 170-hour TESOL course provides Teach educators with a broad base of knowledge with which to meet the needs of young learners learning English alongside their mother tongue and differentiating for variations in developmental stages. Catering to young learners demands, skilful manipulation of materials and effective scaffolding of content is presented in order to optimise the students learning experience. Specifically, because the young learner English segment is projected to continue growing substantially as different countries integrate English language lessons into their curricula in the primary years, specialising in TEYL is a wise strategy for the Teach educator passionate about making a difference in children’s English language education.
