Why your investment goes further with ITTO
The Homestay Extra
Homestay with a Mexican family in a private room with three meals a day –includes cooking a Mexican meal once a week. Four weeks: $400 USD
When Life Happens
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.
No Extra “Administration” Fees
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.
Complete Training with Critiques
ITTO offers complete, thorough training of 140 hours, including10 hours of practice teaching with actual students and professional critiques each time to improve your TEFL/TESOL teaching abilities.
Teach and Choose
You will be individually observed and professionally critiqued during 10 full hours of practice teaching. Students are actual 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.
Reasonable Deposit
ITTO only asks for a $200 deposit, while most other providers require a much larger sum.
No Monthly Limitation on Postponement
If you need to postpone, ITTO will not limit the postponement of your start date for only a short period of time.
No Extra Fee for Illness
If withdrawal of a course due to illness occurs, ITTO will not limit the time for a new re-enrollment. No new registration fee is applied.
No Prepayment Weeks Ahead
ITTO does not have a policy of weeks ahead payment of tuition, nor do we have any surcharges for any items, including payments by credit card.
No Prepayment for Special Offers
We do not ask for payment in advance in order for you to be eligible to take advantage of our special offers.
Free Spanish Lessons
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.
International Certificate Recognition
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.
Learn in Comfort
Weather, although pleasant, may get warm at times, especially for those coming from cold regions. Our center offers air conditioned classrooms.
No “Peak” Season Prices
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.
Teach Actual Students
At ITTO you will teach real students who are actually learning English.
No Extra Fees/No Monthly Exceptions
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.
Transfer Your Spanish Course
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 enroll before your course start date. This special offer is not
transferrable to students studying at our Spanish partner school.
