Via Lingua is a global educational organization, with schools and partners in numerous worldwide locations. Our goal is to help our students develop their English language teaching (TEFL) skills in a friendly and supportive environment and to provide them with employment opportunities throughout their TEFL career. We aim to raise the standard of English language teaching around the world. Our TEFL Course is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the world today. Including 130 hours of expert tuition with 10 hours of assessed teaching practice, and covering all areas of Teaching Skills, Classroom Management, English Grammar and Phonology, it exceeds international guidelines for the regulation of the TEFL profession.

I did my TEFL training with Maria in July of 2012. Maria is one of the best teachers I have ever had, and I was inspired by her patience and willingness to share every bit of her knowledge with us. I've been teaching for four years now, and her example is still one that I look to as a goal! The school, the students, and the program as a whole were the perfect blend of adventure and instruction for me and I'm so happy that I did my TEFL program here. I'm still in contact with Maria and have been back to visit her since I graduated!

I took this course after years of teaching. Getting my TESL certification had always been a desire, but I kept putting off taking the necessary steps towards it.
I thank Via Lingua for having made my desire come true. I especially thank Tom Shandorf, Managing Director at Via Lingua international, who patiently persuaded me to challenge myself
The course has been stimulating and has allowed me to implement and refurbish my skills with relevant material. It has also invited me, after many years, to step back and analyze the way I teach today and to think of ways to keep it fresh.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience to cherish !

Before taking the course in Istanbul, I'd read the course was intense but worth it. I absolutely agree! The course is intense and you won't have much time for sightseeing but it is so worth the hard work. You'll learn so much and graduate with confidence in preparing a solid lesson plan. All the teachers in the course are top knotch and extremely knowlegable as well as
professional and suportive in the learning process. They want you to succeed and will guide you along the way. I am really happy I did it in person! I never could have done it online and thankful to all those involved!

First off, the staff is amazing. They do everything they can to assist you during your training. They are there every step. The scheduled is rigorous- you must make the training your priority. The teachers / instructors are pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Their English proficiency is excellent, very easy to understand their instructions. The location of the school is easily accessible with many apartments and or hotels near by. I am very pleased with my decision to receive my TEFL certification from Via Lingua - Kent English.
