 Hey, hello, Linda here from ITTT. How are you doing today? Thank you so much for joining today's live session. As you know, it is the first Friday of the new month. It is July 1st. And every first Friday of the month, we are doing a casual Q&A session here at ITTT. We are live on Facebook and on YouTube at the same time. So that's very exciting. And today's your opportunity to ask me any question about TEFL, TESOL, teaching English abroad or online, or whatever you want to know. And I'll be here to answer them. And I hope that you can see me and you can hear me clearly. If you do, please just leave a comment in the comment box saying, give me a thumbs up or like a high and where you are watching from that'd be really cool too, just so that I know everything's working well. I can see that it says the connection is not so good today. So I hope that you guys can see me and you can hear me clearly and it's not too bad. I don't know why it is bad today. It's very strange. Usually we have a very, very good connection. So I'm not sure what might be causing this or maybe we have to go out and join in again. I guess we'll see how it goes. But yeah, if you can see me, if you can hear me, if everything's working fine, give me a thumbs up. If something is working, if something's not working fine, give me a thumbs down. So I can know. And then maybe if we have too many thumbs down, then I'll just go out and come back in perhaps. I guess we'll see how it goes. But do let me know so that I know what's happening and I am in South Korea. It is 10 a.m. on a Friday morning. I'm super happy. Today's Friday. The weather looks amazing here, which is great because we are in the rainy season here and today's great. So no rain so far. The sky's blue. The sun is out. I'm super happy about that. I needed that after a couple of days of rain. So I'm super happy about it. But yeah, where are you watching from? What time is it there? How is the weather? How are you doing? Just let me know. And let me know if you can see me and hear me clearly. I don't have any answers yet in the chat. So I'm just gonna check real quick on my phone what it looks like on Facebook, on my end here. Let's see if it's working. And on YouTube perhaps as well. Oh, it is very... Okay, I see. Yeah, the connection is not really great, is it? The picture. What should we do? Should I go out and back in again? Oh, man. Let me see. Technical issues, guys. That can happen. Well, it looks okay, I think on YouTube. Maybe the problem is just Facebook. I have no idea. Guys, if you could, let me know what it looks like on your end. Oh, I think now the connection's actually better. I see that it is... Oh, and it is not good again. What is causing that? I have no idea. Very interesting. I hope that maybe as we go on, as we continue the connection would be better. I have no idea. I'm sorry, guys. Normally it's all good and perfect, but today apparently not. So let's just get through that today and hopefully it will improve over time. Also, not sure what else I could do here to improve the connection, to be honest. Seems pretty good. Let me just see if I can do something better here, but I don't know. We're just gonna go with it. I think now it's better, I hope. So guys, let me know. Where are you watching from right now? I'm in South Korea Friday at 10 a.m. And yeah, I'm excited to be here. It's been a while since we had a Q&A. I always like to do these at the beginning of the new month, just so that we have an opportunity, just a live session without any fixed topic, and we can just talk about anything that you guys want to talk about. So that's what we do every first Friday of the month and every other Friday that I'm live. There's usually a topic associated. There's usually a topic that we talk about. So we go live every week, every Friday around this time typically. And yeah. So that's usually how it goes. Let me maybe take the video off for a second and maybe the connection will be better. We'll see. But I think I hope it's not too bad, guys. Just if somebody could just let me know in the comments how it is on their end, how it is on your end, if it's okay or not, that would be highly appreciated because I still see the thing says the connection is not great. So I don't know. I hope you guys can see me and you can hear me. I didn't, I haven't got that comment yet. So please say something so we can move, we can continue, we can move on. That'd be great. So yeah, we do have a reaction here. Somebody give me a thumbs up. So I hope that means everything's working. That'd be good. That's good. All right. Anyway, that's just I guess how it is today. So guys, then let me just jump in and give you a brief introduction of who I am if you are watching for the first time today. So my name is Linda. I'm a travel writer and content creator under the name Linda goes east, east because I've always been super interested in Asia and excuse me, I've always been super interested in Asia and I've lived in China and I've been living in South Korea now for the past seven years. So I've been in Asia pretty much since 2012. So it's about 10 years that I have lived in Asia. And I have my own website at Linda goes east.com where I share a lot of information about what life is like in Asia and travel tips and tips for people who want to become English teachers in Asia or just in general. So you can also check that out. And I'm originally from Germany and the USA. And yeah, now I'm based in South Korea. So where are you guys right now? We have Mathur here. Hi, Mathur, who is watching from Bangladesh. Awesome. Cool. How about all the other people in this live stream today? Where are you watching from? Let me know. And then the other side of what I do is here, I am a Teflon TESOL marketing professional here for ITTT. I've also been doing that for many, many years now. And ITTT stands for International Teflon TESOL Training. You can find us on the web at www.teflonet.net. And I know that many of you are already ITTT course takers. And sorry, I had to watch the chat right now. There were some comments that I had to block. Anyway, I know that many of you have already taken ITTT courses and that's really awesome. And these live sessions really are for literally anybody. So whether you are already a ITTT Tefl course taker, you're certified already, or you maybe got a Tefl certificate from a different provider, or you don't have any Teflon TESOL certificate yet so anybody can join our live sessions and will benefit from them. What is ITTT in general? ITTT is a leading Teflon TESOL course provider worldwide. So that's what we do. We have a wide variety of different courses, online courses, in-class courses, combined courses, something for everybody out there. And if you're interested, I'm going to talk about the different courses in just a minute so you can have a look at it together. And what I also really want to do today is kind of show you this website, teflonet.net, our ITTT website, and kind of all the things that you can find on there because when you go to the website, it can be a little bit overwhelming. There's so much information on there and it can be a little bit difficult to navigate. And I just want to show you some of my favorite things on the website that are so useful and helpful for new teachers or teachers who want to be or people who want to be teachers in the future. So that's what I think we're going to do today. And oh, over here. And we also have a 30% of discount code. If you've been watching the live sessions here before, you know that every time during the live session, we share a 30% of coupon discount code for our Teflon TESOL courses that you can use. And then you get 30% off any Teflon TESOL course from ITTT. So that is super exciting. You can either scan this QR code right here that you see on the screen, or I'm also going to paste a link into the comment section. You can just copy and paste that link, which will lead you to the application page. And I think what I'm going to do is I'm just going to show you what that looks like real quick. And how the application process works. So we can look at that together. And then maybe you feel a little bit more comfortable and you have a better understanding of how the application process works. Okay, so maybe I'll just do that right away. I am going to share my screen with you just one second. Let me share my screen. And then I'll show you how to apply right here. So the link that I shared with you guys in the comments, this link, the apply link, and then the ending with Facebook Live minus Linda, this is what would get you 30% off in the end. So when you click on that, this is what you're going to see. This is the application page. And you can see here, it says congratulations. You're being granted a 30% discount on every online course and every in-class course deposit. So that is what this code will get you. So then if you are ready to apply, basically you would fill in these details. Okay. So for example, we're going to do my name and we're just going to do test. And in the email address, we're also just going to do test just, you know, just a test application right now. But you would fill this in. These again are optional, but you can do that. You can fill it out. And also, if you are a native speaker, fluent English speaker, but again, these are optional. So you don't have to fill this in. But what you need to fill in for sure is the kind of course that you want to take. Okay. So it would be here to choose your course time. And you can choose whether you want to take an online course, an in-class course, or a combined course. So most people actually go ahead and take the online course. And I'm going to choose that too, because that's just the most convenient option, because you can take it from anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own home, completely online. And then you can pick which online course. And you can see we have so many different options. And here in the top, you can see are all the course options, the regular course options. And then down here, it says courses with CTPR. This is a teaching practice recognition with like a practicum. So if you want to add that, you would have to choose the course staff here. And that's what I'm going to do. And I'm actually going to do the 220 hour master package, because I think this is actually the best course package. And that's the one I've also done. So this is the course package that I'm going to choose for this test application right now. And then plans for your teaching career. It says briefly explain why you wish to take a TEFA course and your employment plans after you complete the course. Again, this is optional, but I recommend you put it in. We just put a brief explanation what you want to do. And you can also fill out where you would like to teach. So I'm just going to put in, for example, I want to teach in Japan. Why not? Let's just pick Japan for this. Hello. Is it working? Okay, it's my computer. My computer's kind of slow today. I don't know why it's very strange. Anyway, and then once we fill this all out, we're going to do apply now. And we're going to hit this button and it's going to take just a few seconds processing, processing, processing. And then it says your application has been successfully submitted. And you want to make sure that your name is correct, that the email address is correct. And then you'll also see the course that you picked, that that's the course that you really wanted. And you'll also see how much you saved. So with this 30% off coupon code that I just shared with you guys today, you actually saved $120 on this course, which is quite a lot. So that's really good. And from there, you can then move ahead with the payment. So we have a couple of different payment options. You can pick the one that you like. You'll also get emails after the stage again with the, with payment options. So you can actually exit this page safely. But just want to make sure that if you don't receive an email within 10 minutes, you should check your junk mail or bulk mail folder in your email account. Sometimes the emails can end up there. But typically we would send you out an email here. We have also sent you. We have all, we also have just sent to you, to your email, oh, to your email, a copy of your application. So again, if you didn't receive that, you should check junk or bulk mail or spam folder of your email account. And from there, you can then complete the payment. You don't need to complete the payment right away. You can also wait, you know, a day or two. You don't have to do this right away. I just wanted to show you guys what it looks like when you apply and that you will get a 30% discount off of your course. So that's how it works. All right, then let's just get back to this right here. And some questions that you guys might have. We have a question here from Matjir. I'm going to take the question in just a minute. So Matjir is asking, if I go to South Korea as a tourist, is there any opportunity to work there as an English teacher? So for, yeah, going there as a tourist. In many cases, a tourist visa can last up to three months, I believe three months, between 60 days and 90 days, depending on your nationality for South Korea. But you are not allowed to work on a tourist visa. So as a tourist, you cannot come and teach English in South Korea, unfortunately. The only way to come to South Korea to teach is to do it the proper way of going through the E2 visa process. E2. E2 visa. And you can also Google this E2 visa for South Korea, for example. I'm just going to put that in a chat so I can put it up on my screen. E2 visa for South Korea. This is the official visa for English teachers coming to South Korea. And that's the only way you can teach in Korea unless you have a different type of visa that allows you to work in South Korea. There are different options. They have permanent residency visas that allow you to work. I have a visa at the moment, which is tied to my husband's. It's a spousal visa, which also allows you to work. So if you have any of these other visas that basically allow you to live and work in Korea, you can also apply to be an English teacher at different schools. And what's actually a benefit when you do that. So under the E2 visa, only people from seven countries, seven specific countries are able to be English teachers in South Korea. And that is Canada, the United States of America, UK, Ireland, South Africa, and Australia and New Zealand. Only these seven countries are able to get an E2 visa for teaching English in South Korea at the moment. That is the regulation. And there is a loophole for Indian citizens as well. So Indian people who fulfill all the other requirements for this visa, and they have an Indian teaching license, they can also get an E2 visa for South Korea at the moment. That's unfortunately how it is at the moment. And it's probably going to stay like this for a bit. But there also has been some movement where a language school really wanted to hire a teacher who happened to be from Nigeria, which also uses English as their official language, by the way. But it is obviously not one of those seven countries that I just mentioned where English teachers in Korea have to be from. So they were unable to hire this person. So they kind of started going, taking the support, or just kind of trying to change this regulation. So that's something that's going on at the moment. And I'll keep you updated on that. But like Matri asked, you cannot teach English under a tourist visa, unfortunately. So what you could do is you can look into different visa options. Maybe you could be a student, you can get a student visa. And then later, after you've been here for a while, you can transition over to a long-term residency or permanent residency visa. And then you can also work in Korea as an English teacher. So it's a little bit tricky, not going to lie. But that's unfortunately how it is. Yes. Hello. Taking this question here from Li Wanming. Is it Li Wanming? I hope I'm probably not. I used to study Chinese. And yeah, I forgot a lot. But anyway, perhaps it was halfway correct. Anyway, yes. So the question is here. Is it Thomas? Okay, Thomas. Thank you, Thomas. Is it possible to receive official authorized TESOL training online in China? Yeah. So our online courses, they can be taken from anywhere in the world. So if you are in China, you can take an online course from ITTT. No problem. We've had thousands of course graduates who either are from China. We have a couple of Chinese English teachers who have taken our courses and also people who then moved on to teach English in China. Also me, I got my TEFL certificate while I was in China at the time. So definitely possible. And our courses are officially recognized all over the world. And we also have the notarization option. So you can get your certificate after you receive it, notarized. And I think that is something that you now need in China. You did not need that when I was there. Basically, I'm just going to show you. I need to take the blurry thing off. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. So you can actually see the certificate. Okay. So this is what the certificate looks like. And I have a couple because I took that master package, basically. So this is the 120-hour course. It looks like this. And for China, I believe you need an extra stamp, like a notarized stamp, which we can also give you at ITTT. We could actually provide you with that. So no problem. Something we do regularly. Like I said, we have many people who move on to teach English in China, actually. And many people who are teachers in China, who also get certified. So not a problem at all. Yeah, sure. You're very welcome. All right. So I'm thinking now, I don't know if I share my screen again, if it will work, or if it will be very slow. I see that sometimes I think the connection is not so great. Sorry about that, guys. I don't know why that is today. No idea why it's doing it. Maybe it's just too hot. It is very hot in South Korea and very humid. So maybe even my computer can't deal with it. Who knows? All right. I'm just going to show you now real quick and bigger a couple of things on the website. So this is the website that you'll see when you just go to teffelcourse.net. Oh, and I'm just going to add this little banner here. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. So you don't miss any of our upcoming live sessions either. So that'd be great. Okay. So this is the website that you'll see when you type in teffelcourse.net. Some of you might be familiar. Some of you might see this for the first time. So there's a lot of information. It can be a little overwhelming, which is why I just wanted to really show you guys what it looks like. So as you can see, we have here online courses. We also have in-class courses and we also have combined courses and also a really cool thing that you can do actually that a lot of people don't know. You could take this quiz right here. As you can see, this is the header. You scroll down a little bit and then it says, which is the right course for me? And you can click on that and you can actually take this quiz and figure out which course is recommended for your situation. So there are different questions like where you want to teach, there are questions on your budget, there are questions on your background, etc. So this is a really cool thing to do when you first land on this website. That's something you could do. You could take this quiz and figure out which course is right for you and then you could go from there. You can have a better understanding of the different course options and if you're completely new to this, all of the different course options will be very overwhelming. So taking this little quiz here might be a good idea. Cool. Okay, then something you could also do on this website is to check out alumni opinions and reviews and videos. So there's a section here. You can check those out. These are regularly updated as well and different people talk about their experience with ITTT. So there's a lot of different people all over the world who take our courses and yeah, you can check out the reviews. Really good too. Then, let's see. Oh, it is really slow today. Oh my gosh, okay now. Down here, this is also really good. Here you can actually compare our online course packages to find the best ones to suit your needs. So you can see exactly what the differences are between those and maybe I should zoom out a little bit. So we can kind of... Oh, this is so long. Okay. Oh, and now it's too small, I believe. Well, let's just leave it like this for a second. So you can see basically with these courses... Oh, now it's too small. Sorry, guys. Okay. So yeah, you have the courses, also the TEFL level is indicated here. And yeah, basically what they include and what they don't include. And also here highlighted in orange is the 220-hour master package because this is really the most, I think, the best course to go with if you're either like new to teaching or you're just looking for a long-term career in teaching. And this is really the best value you get a lot. So with this one, you get... And this is a level five. You get obviously all of these things that all of our courses have. Also lifetime job guidance, which is also very important. Good for life. So whether you've taken a course yesterday with us or a course 10 years ago with us, you always have access to lifetime job support. And I'm going to show you a little bit about also how you can find jobs on our website. Because I think a lot of course graduates also don't know about this. I'm going to show you that in just a minute. And then this course includes business English as well and a course for young learners. So specifically a course about how to teach children, which is really good. And it includes obviously a hard copy, PDF certificate, and it is also internationally accredited as are all the other courses as well. It does not include online teaching specifically. It does not include teaching practice, even though you can add that to it. So there's an option where you can add teaching practice to that. It is not a diploma course and there's no academic planning. So if you want to go even further and you have all of this, this is the most comprehensive course that we offer, which is the 550-hour expert diploma course. And you can see the pricing, of course, and this price that you see here in black. Today, like I said, we also have 30% off. So you can take 30% off of this black price here as well in this white one. So that's a really good deal. All right. So that's one another thing here on the website. And then down here are our in-class course locations. So if you're interested in taking an in-class TEFL course, you might want to check out these locations. So an in-class TEFL course is basically what it says it is. It is in class at an in-class training center at a TEFL training center in one of these locations, and there are more locations as well that we have available. So for example, Phuket, which is in Thailand, beautiful island, beaches, etc. If that's your vibe, you can go to this center in Phuket and spend four weeks there and get a TEFL training for four weeks, Monday to Friday. Weekends are typically off with other trainees in a training center taught by a TEFL expert, a teacher trainer, and you'll also actually teach real English students there. This is a working English language school plus TEFL center. So they have English students there that you'll also be teaching. So this is a very great way for people who really want that teaching practice. They also want some experience abroad, a good time. This is something great to do in the summer or anytime really you have some time off because you need to go there for four weeks. So this is not something everybody can do, but it is really great and the best possible training for TEFL that you can actually get. So that's really recommended. But yeah, because of the time constraints and obviously these courses are also more expensive. That's why the online courses here are so popular because you don't need to go somewhere for four weeks. You can actually do this from your home, but it's going to take longer than four weeks typically. So typically the online course takes you have up to six months to complete it, but most people finish it in three or four months, or if you have a lot of time on your hands, you can probably finish it even faster than that as well. So it really depends on you. Good. Then now here is another application form, but I just recommend you use the code that I shared with you because it will get you 30% instead of here 15. So and then yeah, what do you can also do here at the bottom? What I recommend you do, if you want to get more information about ITTT, you can put in your email address here and you will receive our newsletter. So you should do that. And you can also download some free info material here. So these are brochures that you can get and there's a lot of information on those as well. Here is a link to the Facebook page, which is also really, really good. And I highly recommend you check it out because we share a lot of information every day. There's teaching ideas, teaching tips, job offers, videos, really anything that you will need if you want to be an English teacher or if you already are an English teacher, you can also use that material. Then just more information. Oh yeah, then down here, what a lot of people might not know is that we also have a blog. So these are some of the blog posts that we publish and you can also click on Read All and then you'll be taken to the blog page where you can see all of our recent, most recent blog posts. And typically either ITTT staff write the blog posts, myself included, or actually what happens a lot is that our course graduates, they write our blog posts. We have them as guest bloggers. So we reach out to people who have graduated from our courses and we ask them if they would like to share their experience in the blog and also experience of the different countries where they taught or different teaching materials that they use or some people have moved on to build their own online teaching platforms. So you find blog posts about that. So this is a really, really good resource. You should check out. So I highly recommend that you go and do that. All right, cool. I'm just checking in and I just saw this comment right here from Philip. Philip says, thanks, Linda goes east. I shall watch this later. Also would like information on if TEFL can be a long-term option in South Korea and not just for a few years. In other words, can someone make a career and possible permanent move to this country in particular, Korea does look like an ideal country for this. Yeah. So this is a great question. And definitely South Korea can be a long-term option. And I know many people who are living in Korea permanently. I've been here for seven years, which is also kind of long term ish. I know also a lot of people who, you know, are married to locals. I'm married to Korean men. They have their families here and they teach at the, they've been teaching like at the same school for years. Or I even know some people who have actually started their own English school in Korea. Or then people have moved on to other careers in Korea. They either work for a Korean company or they actually work for like English, for English teaching materials. So they develop teaching materials for books that will then be used in schools. So there's a lot of different ways that you definitely can do this. Everybody's path is different, but it's certainly an option. And South Korea is pretty good with offering permanent residency. So it's not too difficult to do. So I would say definitely if you're interested in that, go ahead and check out lynecosis.com for more information and maybe also reach out to me. And I can give you more details privately and maybe some links where you can get more information from official resources. That'd be cool. Yeah. Okay, so this is the blog again. And then again, we talked about the video reviews that you can also check out. We also have reviews about ITTT on different platforms. If you want to go ahead and check those out as well. Here are all the people or organizations rather that we partner with and our affiliations are listed down here as well. You can also contact us. So you can even contact us via WhatsApp. The great way to contact us is via email here at courses at tso-tefal.com. So that's a really great way. And here where we are, you know, on the social media side of things. Let me see what I also want to show you here. EFL and ESL jobs. So this is a good one to look at. So I'm just going to make this actual size again. Yeah. So this is basically if you are an ITTT course graduate, these are the best recruiters or just partner recruiters that we've been partnered with for a while. Who you will have access to here. So here are all of these recruitment agencies that we've worked with and you can actually reach out to them. And again, this is actually available to anyone who is on our website. So you don't even need to be a TEFL course graduate, but there are certain perks when reaching out to these recruiters and they know you are from ITTT that you will get that you won't otherwise get if you're not from ITTT. So that's one thing. And then what you can also do when you're, let's go back to the regular website, right up here when you go to jobs. So this is actually where I wanted to go to. So yeah. And then you'll see this and you can actually, if you are, yeah, ITTT graduates receive free lifetime job assistance. So to do that, you just email this email address for jobs assistance. And here we also always post the most recent job offers for teaching jobs all over the world or online. So we have a section for online jobs in particular. And then these are in class jobs abroad and they are different either started by continent or then also specific countries. So this is a really, really great resource to look at. And again, anyone can look at the site. So you don't have to be an ITTT course graduate to go to this site. Oh, South Korea is there twice. All right. Interesting. Yeah. So, yeah, let's look at Korea real quick. Or let's look at online jobs. I'm not sure. What should we look at? Asia general. Let's look at Asia general. Let's see what there is. Okay. Here we have a summer camp for Malaysia. That's cool. And you'll see the date when it was posted. So actually just a week ago about and then how who to email the contact person also. And yeah, roles and responsibilities, et cetera, et cetera. Can read more here. Very interesting. So summer camp will take place from July to August. So one month in Malaysia, that is really cool. So you should definitely apply if somebody's interested. That sounds like a really cool opportunity, especially because it's just for one month. Usually teaching contracts are at least a year. So this is something that's very special, these kind of summer camps. And now, because we're kind of entering a post COVID era, so to speak, we'll see much more of this because now people can actually come back into the countries they can travel without too much of a hassle. So we see many, many more positions like this come up where it's just temporary. So yeah, this is just something you should check out if you're interested. So that's TEFL jobs on our website, again, really, really cool. And then you'll find here the information like how to apply. Please contact the email address in the job heading for details on how to apply. So you would contact them and apply. Yeah. Cool. All right. Let me see what else I can show you on here. These are like the most important things. Also, something that you can do is request a call back. So if you want to speak with someone directly from ITTT, you can fill this out and we'll actually call you on a specific time that you want us to call you. Or you can reach out to us via email. Here's a contact us page. You can fill out this contact form as well. Or we have a WhatsApp button. Oh, if you press this button, you can message us directly message us what's up chat here, your different options. So there's a lot of options to get actually touched with us. I'm sure one of these will work for you. And then we can have a look at the affiliation, which is also very important. So here, if you're not sure about ITTT's accreditations, affiliations, et cetera, you should check out this page, which clearly states all of these. And this is kind of divided by course. So our in class courses are accredited by Lamar University, for example, but the and the five day combined courses are accredited by the teacher training council. So they're all kind of different online courses are accredited by the Paris College of International Education. And we're also a member of the International Association of Teachers of English of the foreign language. Oh, yeah, also in class courses are accredited by the Paris College of International Education. So you'll find a lot of information about this also links to the official sites where you can get more information about those details. So you don't need to worry about that too much. And then where was that? I wanted to show you that about certification. Oh, hey, how are you doing? I'm doing very well. How are you today? Good to see you. So again, this is the main site. And then if you go down, I think it was down at the bottom here somewhere. Let's see, I just saw it earlier. Yes, certificate legalization, I think that's it. Yes. So there, there are legalization and authentication options and some people for some countries, they will need that. So there's a couple of things you can do. So if you're interested in that, you should navigate to this website. And this is all something we can do for you. You just need to let us know there also be options. See, this is specifically for China and Vietnam, for example. So this is something that those countries will require. And we can also do that. So no worries for that. Because somebody asked earlier about Chinese legalization and notarization and stuff. So that's also something we will do. You just need to let us know. And it's possible. Okay. Good. Then I'm just going to go back to my slides here. And we can have a chat a little bit about your questions. If you have any today, do let me know. I just thought it was important to take some time and just show you the website a little bit because I know when you go to this website, it looks very overwhelming. So I just wanted to show you some of the most useful things you can do on the website that a lot of people actually don't know about. So I hope you liked that. And I need some coffee now. And then, yeah, guys, let me know what else you're curious about in terms of Teflon Tiso. And I also have my slides here for kind of the most commonly asked questions. So I think that was something that I also wanted to talk to you about one of the slides here. But yeah, pretty much that is it. So let's see if there was something in particular. Mm. So this one, which Teflon course is right for me? Again, if you go to the website and you scroll down just a little bit and you see that quiz, this will answer that question for you as well. Right. So that's a really cool way of determining which course is right for you. So just go to our website and scroll down a little bit. And then on the right hand side in like a sky blue color, it will say, which is the right course for me? Take our Teflon, yeah, our Teflon course quiz and find out in minutes. You should do that if you're not quite sure yet. Okay. This is also something maybe to talk about real quick. How much does a Teflon course cost? Right now on the website, we did see some pricing. But I just want to make sure everybody kind of understands that you should definitely stay away from free Teflon courses, right? We have seen them all over the internet or like Groupon, $10, $20 Teflon courses. Just be wary of any 120 hour Teflon course or any Teflon course costing close to nothing or being offered for completely free because when it comes to this kind of stuff, it is just like you get what you pay for. So cheap and free Teflon courses just aren't going to get you the desired teaching job abroad. They're most likely not accredited. They're not internationally recognized and they just lack even basic things like job assistance. And some of them don't even have an actual hard copy certificate. It's just crazy. And I always like to kind of compare this with a budget airline. Maybe you've heard me say this before, but it's kind of like yeah, like a budget airline where the ticket is super cheap. So you're like, oh my god, this is such a great deal. But then you need to pay for all of these things extra. And then it amounts to this. It turns out to be so much more expensive than you originally thought. So that's kind of the thing with these Groupon or free Teflon courses. It's like that. So if you want job assistance, you need to pay for it. If you want a hard copy certificate, you need to pay for it. If you want anything, you need to pay for it. And then it's either the same price or even more expensive than ITTT Teflon courses, for example. And again, we do have a 30% off opportunity today. And I'm probably just going to share the link one more time with you guys. So you really have it and you can apply whenever you feel ready to do so. So it looks like this. Just copy paste this link. You will see the application page. I showed you how to do the application in the beginning of this live session. So you can just, if you missed that, you can watch the replay and check that out. But yeah, just stay away from free Teflon courses. It's not worth it. And yeah, at ITTT, we offer between 50 hours and 550 hours of training. So there's really a course for anyone out there. And if you're not quite sure which course is right for you, again, I can point you to our website and to take that Teflon quiz that will really help you determining to find out which course is right for you. The most popular one though is 120 hours or the 220 hour master package, which is the 120 hour course plus two specializations. So that's what I have. And that's what I typically recommend to people because the 220 hour course, I think I have it here. Yeah, so here the 220 hour master package, I think is the best one to do. If you're new to this and you're serious about teaching, you want to teach for a year or more than the 220 hour course over here really is the best thing to get in my opinion. It is the 120 hour course, which is the standard, the international standard course, 120 hours plus two specializations in business English and in teaching English to young learners. So those two fields are the most common, most important fields in English teaching. And if you have those on top of the standard one, you basically stand out from the crowd because typically nowadays, everyone has the 120 hour course. It's not that special anymore. So you kind of want to do a little bit more. So you really stand out a little bit and you have you can pick and choose where you want to teach. You, you just want to be able to really go where you want to go. And this is going to give you just that extra little bit of special spice for your application, basically. And then the other ones that you see here, 470 and 550 hour, those are for people who really want to do this for the long term. And you want to do this even maybe in like a leading role, you're going to be a head teacher, or you want to start your own school, something like that. So then you would go for the expert package, pretty much. Okay, we talked about in class, I think we talked about pretty much all of these. Then just real quick, how you can find us online really the best way is teffelcourse.net. And I'm also going to share our email address. So which is courses at tso-teffel.com. So this is really if you have any question, just email this email address and we'll be there to answer any questions you might have. All right, good. So then I'm still here for a couple of minutes. So if there are some questions that were left unanswered today, if you're watching right now and you have a question that's on your mind, I always say there are no stupid questions. So whatever it is, whatever little question or whatever specific question you have, just throw it at me and we'll see what happens. So yeah, now is your opportunity. Take it. Take your opportunity and just ask me a question about what's on your mind, teffelteasol teaching or Korea specific questions. We had a lot of Korea specific questions today because I live in Korea. So yeah, ask away, ask away. Or if there's anything else you would like to see, I can show you something. Okay, Jennifer here has a question. Is there a specific person I can talk to about getting a job, a teaching job with my master's degree in communications and my teffel certification? Yes, absolutely. So let me go back to our jobs section. So if you already know where you want to teach, for example, you could go to our jobs section, Teffel Employment, and there is an email address. It is jobs at teffel.ac, jobs at teffel.ac. This is our jobs email address basically. So you can email, send an email there, let them know exactly what you just told me, and then we'll be able to help you and also let them know maybe the area where you want to teach in the country or region. If you want to teach like in Asia or the Middle East, any details would be great. And then we'll help you out there. Then we have Southern Fried Peach. Okay, peaches, Southern Fried Peaches TV. Sorry, took me a minute to decipher. What are the best ways to prepare for teffel teaching with no degree? Good. That's a good question. Okay. With no degree, it's not impossible, not impossible. I think the best way to prepare is just to be patient. It's going to take a little bit more time probably to find that perfect position. Some countries, if you don't have a degree, are out right away. Oh, I actually forgot to show you this as well. So we have a really, really big FAQ section on our website, and there is information about people, about what it's like teaching without a degree. Okay. So I can show you that and we can go through it. Yeah, where can I teach English abroad without a university degree, for example? So I'm just going to share that with you real quick so you can refer back to that here. It's this link. So where can I teach English abroad without a university degree? Yeah, it is not impossible. But yeah, it is highly recommended that you first complete a teffel certification course for sure. But that would be number one. If you don't have a degree, you definitely need to get a teffel. And I would also recommend if you don't have a degree to get a teffel with as many hours as possible, so the higher the better. While the standard is 120 hours, you would need to do more than that to just enhance your chances, if that makes sense. So either 220 is good, but I think you should go even more. So maybe get the 470 hour course, or even 550, which is the highest level. So it depends on where you want to go. So it's definitely possible to teach in Asia, especially Southeast Asian countries like Cambodia and Vietnam are particularly good for people without a degree. And also Latin America, it might be difficult to teach in Europe and the Middle East also. But Latin America and Asia, you will definitely be able to find a position. So just be patient. Number one, take your time, do lots of research, and get just a really, really high level teffel course on top of that. That will be my tip. Then we have Amitava here. Where can one teach English abroad with an associate degree of say two years and not the standard either three or four years, so that would be the same as what I just said. Same thing, Southeast Asia is great and Latin America. Actually for South Korea, they used to have a teaching program that was called the talk program, which was specifically targeted for people with associates degrees, but this program no longer exists. That is not a possibility anymore, unfortunately. So pretty much the same. Okay. Yeah. So, okay, thank you for that. I have 150 hour certification in some college. Okay. Yeah, maybe 150. You could get the specializations on top of that. So the business English one and the teaching young learners one, which would give you another 100. So you would have 250. And with the 30% off code today, those two are not that expensive either. So I would just give you a little bit of a boost. And then if you have any kind of teaching experience, that will also be great. So maybe you could start with teaching online, get experience, and then you can also put that on your resume, teaching online experience. That would be also really good. So yeah, awesome. Okay, let's maybe take one more question and then I'm going to go and say goodbye. One more question, guys. Who wants to be the last question of today? I'm like, disappearing with this blurry background. Am I? Let's do one more question or maybe if everybody's happy, then no more questions. Or if you have any topic suggestions that would also be appreciated. All right. Amitabha has a question. Since I already have the standard 120 hours in class, intensive course certificate, yes, from Nepal, right? Kathmandu, I remember, as well as a 250 hours online diploma course. Do I stand out from the crowd? Yes, absolutely. I think so. I think you do. What you also maybe should get, I don't know if you have a English proficiency certificate. So any kind of Cambridge or IELTS or TEFL certificate, maybe you can add to that. That's usually also recommended for non-native English teachers. Maybe you already have that, but that's also something that's really good. And especially non-native English teachers should also have in their portfolio any kind of English language proficiency certification with like as high a level as possible, obviously. So yeah, that would be great. Okay. Well, thank you guys. That was really, really good. I appreciated that. I hope you learned something new today. I hope you will be able to better navigate the TEFL course.net website and discover a couple of new things on there that maybe you didn't know were on there. So I highly encourage you just take some time, explore the website, take that quiz if you haven't yet, and maybe you'll discover something new and read the blog, subscribe to the newsletter, which I also showed you how to do, and then just take advantage of our 30% off opportunity. Why not? If you want to get additional certifications or if you're completely new to this and you want to start 30% off really goes a long way, it will save you a lot of money that you can later then spend on the things that matter most, going abroad, travel, explore, your move abroad. So on we tell us this, how do I get the TEFL English proficiency test for non-native English speakers? Any suggestions, Linda, on this point? So that was TEFL what I was saying, TOEFL. There is no TEFL English proficiency test. So this would be a TEFL or an IELTS or a Cambridge certificate. So you can just type in best English proficiency test, for example, best English proficiency exam for English teachers or something like that, and then something will come up. Usually these are like the three biggest, the Cambridge, the IELTS, and the TEFL, and they will have these tests pretty much in every country around the world several times a year where you can take them. Or maybe they would also do this online, I'm not sure, but usually there's a writing part, a reading part, a listening part, and a speaking part. Most of these proficiency tests work that way. So these are typically done in person. I'm sure there's one near you as well. Okay. Well, good stuff, guys. Thank you for your questions. I hope that I was able to answer them to your satisfaction that you'll learn something. And I hope to see you again next week. Next week, we'll talk about a specific topic. If you have any suggestions, let me know. And I can prepare for that. We had a suggestion next time. Last time, we had a suggestion last time. And I talked about that, like the biggest, best advice for new teachers or the biggest challenges for new teachers. And we talked a little bit about that. So if you have any suggestions for future topics, what you would like me to talk about, or focus on, let me know. You can also reach out to me on Instagram directly, eplendicoseast. And yeah, take care. Have a wonderful weekend. And I hope to see you all real soon next week. Okay. All right, guys, thank you so much. I'm signing off now. Bye-bye. Have a great weekend. Bye, guys.
