We're confident that the TEFL Certificate Program at
Boston Academy of English will provide you with the top-notch training you
will need to excel as an ESL/EFL teacher, whether at a school or college in
Boston or overseas.
But ... don't just take our word for it! Here are the comments of some
of the recent graduates of our Boston TEFL Certificate Program:
1. "Feedback session were probably some of
the most useful tools. [Trainers and observers]
Sheena, Julia, and
Melanie were so attentive through our practice-teaching sessions and
did not miss a beat. This was so valuable. Sheena always
challenged me to think further on a subject. This really helped to
deepen my analytical skills."

graduate Erik Cohen. Erik talks about his portfolio assignment and

the decision to study in Boston."

such a great example of how we should be teaching."

8. Shira completed our full-time TEFL
program in June. Listen to her talking about the course's teaching
feedback sessions.
9. "It was great to get to know such a warm,
nurturing, creative group of people. After two hours with
Sheena on
the first day, I thought, 'Wow, what a thoughtful, expressive way of
getting things across.' The more I learned about teaching methods,
the more I appreciated the lengths that Sheena and Melanie went to
make things interesting for us. I was worried initially about
the long days, but time really just flew by. I can honestly say that
in my 17 years of being a quite eager student, I have never been
happier to be in class than I was here."

11. "I really felt challenged and energized
by the program. My senses were heightened and sharpened
significantly. Plus, I accomplished my goal of attaining a skill to
get working that has me directly involved with an international
crowd. As an ESL teacher, [BAE] gives students the opportunity to
learn, and the students [in the practice-teaching sessions] teach
you a lot about their perspectives an culture."
