"I have been working as a tutor for a couple of years now, but I've still learnt many new things from Global English. This course provides insight into so many technical stuff and how to be a better teacher. There are lots of resources which you can use in your future classrooms. The tutors have been extremely helpful. They are very responsive and gave the point, insightful feedback, which helps a lot. I had a great time throughout the course and will definitely recommend others to try it."
Nilanjan Dias
"This course was excellent value and really useful. The quality of course content and prompt feedback is second to none. The instructors are all excellent, very experienced and very supportive.
I have taught for over 30 years, and found both the short and more in-depth courses top quality, and simple to access and use. Global English have developed, increased and improved their range of courses over many years, and are experts in their field.
Whether you are new to teaching, or more experienced, look no further than a Global English course."
Rosemary Edney
"I like that there is a lot of personal work involved, but equally some confidence boosting questions throughout the course which keep you on the right track."
