See what our students have to say

This course helped to systematise my knowledge of English grammar and phonology as well as gave me some important tips on the teaching methods and techniques. The most valuable tip was how to maintain the balance between student talking time and teacher talking time. Might sound easy, but it's not!
I now feel confident and capable to teach not only in person but in online spaces thanks to their guidance. I highly recommend the Trinity CertTESOL through the OI Digital Institute!
