 Hi, my name is Ben and I was an ESL teacher in South Korea for four years. I came back to the States in 2013 back to my home state in California and While I was overseas I Didn't have to have an ESL certificate. I actually was trained at my school. We use the audio lingual method for teaching English But when I came back I felt like I would just like to add some extra information and maybe a certificate to my teaching experience, so I Got online and I checked around at some different schools and I found the I triple T Program and so as I looked into it it seemed like it would be a really good program long story short I Took their course and found it to be very helpful even though I had taught for a number of years There were things in the course that I learned that were new it talked it taught the ESA teaching methodology which is like engage Steady and then activate which they explained very well, and I think it's a great method for teaching English I think it definitely adds a lot to the teaching ability and I would definitely recommend their course. I think it's something that's it's substantial It was well put together and it can also improve your techniques and even Look very good on your resume, so it can help you to find the kind of jobs or positions that you might be wanting Certain things that wouldn't be open if you didn't have a certificate so I would recommend taking the course and enjoying it and also Looking around for a great a country or culture that you would enjoy Teaching overseas can be an awesome experience. You learn a lot of things and you learn things about yourself And you just grow in many ways So I'd recommend looking into the different cultures and learning about that culture and also respecting the culture and the people there I think that's very important, but hopefully you'll get that opportunity to go find a country that you love and that you would enjoy teaching in and Definitely would recommend getting the training with I triple T before you go. It it would be helpful to have that training so Hope you have a good time learning and studying and also hope you have a good time with teaching overseas so happy travels and Take care blessings
