Why your investment goes further with ITTO
Homestay with a Mexican family in a private room with three meals a day –includes cooking a Mexican meal once a week.
Only $100 USD per week
We understand that we are all subjected to the unforeseen. ITTO does not require a full payment prior to arrival.
It is not until you are here in your first day of class that you will pay the remaining balance.
ITT0 does not place a condition that you notify our offices weeks in advance if your course start date is to be postponed, nor do we penalize/charge “administrative” fees for the above.
ITTO offers complete, thorough training of 140 hours, including 10 hours of practice teaching with real students and professional critiques each time to improve your TEFL/TESOL teaching abilities.
You will be individually observed and professionally critiqued during 10 full hours of practice teaching. Students are real English learners, not simply volunteers. You may teach as many other classes as your time allows.
For your additional teaching practices, you will even get to choose the level and skills you wish to teach. You may even teach young learners.
ITTO only asks for a $200 deposit, while most other providers require a much larger sum.
If you need to postpone, ITTO will not limit the postponement of your start date for only a short period of time.
If withdrawal of a course due to illness, ITTO will not limit the time for a new re-enrollment.
No new registration fee is applied.
We do not ask for payment in advance in order for you to be eligible to take advantage of our special offers.
Our TEFL + Spanish Special package does not require any condition of attendance of other participants nor any special arrangements to be made on your behalf.
We will take care of your enrollment and participation from start to finish. Please notice that you get top-notch Spanish instruction at one of the best Spanish schools in Latin America .
FREE of any charge, not simply a discount.
Our course is an intensive four-week accredited course with international recognition.
Do not be fooled by “speedy learning”.
Employers know that the minimum standards required are four weeks and 120 hours, 6 hours of observed practice teaching, as well as other educational criteria.
Weather, although pleasant, may get warm at times, especially for those coming from cold regions.
Our center offers air conditioned classrooms.
ITTO does not have any surcharges for peak season (summer) courses.
The price is the same all year long with the exception of our specials. In those cases, the rates may even be lower.
At ITTO you will teach real students who are actually learning English.
Our TEFL + Spanish special offer does not exclude peak (summer) months.
All course and ancillary materials are included. You will not have to pay for a crayon or a paper clip.
In case you don’t have the time to take the Spanish course, you may transfer this benefit on to someone of your choice who will only pay a registration fee of $50 US.
Our only requisite is that the beneficiary enrolls before your course start date.
This special offer is not transferable to students studying at our Spanish partner school.
