Margaret
Wojcieszek |
"Hello,
My name is Margaret Wojcieszek. I am originally from Poland. Since
2002, I have moved to the U.K. and made my home there.
At London Teacher Training College (LTTC), I have achieved the
Diploma in TESOL plus TEYLT (with distinction for both) alongside
my full time study of B.Sc. (Hons) Psychology and Linguistics with
the West of England University [with the outcome of 2:1 - Second
Class (Upper Division)], all graduated in 2008.
All of the LTTC tutors are always friendly and helpful. I would
like to express my appreciation to Tim Simmons, Sam Mallow and
Sally Marshall for their continued support and quick reply in the
completion of the Diploma in TESOL and the Certificate in TEYLT.
Also, many thanks to my Friends and my Partner for whom without
their encouragement and support I would not be where I am
today."

Audrey Lawe-Lavrut Diploma in TESOL
I have received my beautiful Diploma this morning graded as
Distinction. My wish is to move on to the MA TESOL but I need to
find a job first.
I thoroughly
enjoyed the TESOL course; it was hard work but extremely
rewarding.
The course was
excellent and my instructor Tim Simmons was highly competent, very
helpful and genuine. He addressed my concerns and questions
promptly.
I have now
completed the course, thanks be to God, to my supportive partner,
the genuine help of my instructor Tim, and the efforts that I have
put into it.
I highly recommend
the LTTC to anyone looking to gain accredited TESOL .
The course is a
life-long opportunity, very enriching, challenging and
professional.
Many thanks also
to Sally for being very helpful.

Ian Grigg. Diploma in TESOL
Hi, I’m Ian Grigg from Hampshire in England . I began studying for my Dip TESOL with LTTC in June 2005 and worked through to completion in December. During the last 6 ½ months I could be found studying into the early hours of the morning on several occasions, searching for relevant material to include in my essays or reading the course material over and again to gain clarification of certain points
My knowledge of English has been lost somewhere over time, and one of the major rewards I gained from this course was the reacquisition of this knowledge and much more I never knew. I am now looking forward to sharing this knowledge and start down a new career path in the field of teaching, and feel it proper to express my appreciation to LTTC in enabling me to achieve the success I have in this course. Tim Simmons’ comments were inspiring; and were very much a reward in themselves, and Sally Marshall remains a very calming voice when frustration kicks in.
I would whole-heartedly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in studying TESOL and I now look forward to starting the dip TBE in the near future.

Anna Gorizontova, RUSSIA (Diploma in Teaching Business English).
I’m Anna Gorizontova from Moscow, Russia. I’ve got MA in History and Foreign Languages (Moscow State University, 1984) and PhD in History (1990, Russian Academy of Sciences). I taught History and English to tertiary students, did some research for nearly10 years after the University. When in early 90-ies the life in Russia changed dramatically, I had, as many other people of my age and background, to look for other ways of earning my living and finally landed in educational publishing. So, for the last 9 years I have been working for different British ELT publishing houses in Russia. I enjoy working in publishing, but recently I realised how much I missed teaching. I think, teaching Business English is something I would really love to do next in my professional life. I soon as I had understood that I started looking for a concise, but yet a dense course to cover both general methodology issues and some specific areas of Business English teaching, like needs analysis, designing short specialist cour ses, etc. I found everything I was looking for in the LTCC Diploma in TBE course.

Zarina Chugtai
Regarding the course itself, I have been impressed. Initially skepticalabout undertaking a course such as this without attending regular classes I thought I would struggle to understand the content but my worries were soon alleviated. The course notes are thorough and there is always someone on hand to answer questions. Tim and the school have always responded to mye-mails within 24 hours which re-inforces the fact that there is support out there for me if I need it.The flexibility of the course enabled me to work entirely at my own pace so I could continue working in my normal capacity as a HR Administrator. I have gained such a lot of knowledge and hope that someday soon, once I get in some practice, the Dip (TESOL) will be my passport to the world!

I would like to say that I have been impressed with the content of the course - a good balance between theory and application - and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to undertake a distance learning course in TESOL. It is particularly good that you offer the option of teaching practice, as there can be no substitute for actual experience of working with students.
I have also been impressed by the efficiency of both yourself for your speedy marking and comments, whatever time of day I happen to have sent you my work (do you work 24/7???), and of the admin department (that means you, Sally!) for the quick arrival of the assignments and help with arranging the Chios trip.
Congratulations, LTTC.
Diane

Robert Y. Chan
Challenging, Fast Growing and Most Rewarding TESOL. I can never thank Tim Simmons and the LTTC enough to help me to achieve what everyone thought was out of my reach. During a recent visit to Hong Kong from Australia, my mother-in-law laughed when I told the family I want to become a teacher. She laughed not because she doubted my ability, but I am closer to her age than my wife’s. She is very proud of her daughter who is a well qualified teacher. Now, I am at the final stage of my course after 6 months of solid, yet enjoyable work, I am laughing quietly within myself. Yes, I have earned myself a ticket to freedom, freedom to choose a job that suits me, freedom to travel to exotic places with my family and enjoy a reasonably good standard of living in plenty of paid holiday time.

Hi, I am NAZISH ZAFFAR from Pakistan. I have13 years experience of teaching English as a compulsory subject to High School students, in an institution run by IRISH NUNS. Looking for a good institution to study futher,I was lucky to have found LTTC and just recently completed my Certificate course in TEFL with them. I found it so interesting and informative, that I decided to study further and am currently taking my Diploma in TESOL. It’s challenging course and needs a lot of hard work but the encouraging remarks by the tutors, make it worthwhile.
My experience with the institution and the staff has been excellent and I would highly recommend anyone interested in taking an English Teaching course, to study with LTTC.

Antony Martiniani Shinomiya. Diploma in TESOL
My name is Antony Martiniani Shinomiya. I’m 39 years old and I live and work in Tokushima, Japan. I am a professional English Teacher with a wonderful personality and a lot of energy.
My field of experience over the past 17 years has given me the right attitude towards teaching.
I have worked with students at the kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school levels. This included providing individual, small group and whole class instruction to students with meticulous leaning environments, and multiple learning activities in a stimulating atmosphere.
I value individuality, and strive to meet the needs of each students and schools over the years. To accomplish this, I use a variety of hands-on activities and different teaching strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles. I also recognize the importance of trust, and successfully established relationships with students that resulted in a safe and comfortable, yet challenging, learning environment. In addition, I hold valuable group management skills and developed positive interactive lessons to suit any learner. I feel that I have all the right qualities and as a former language learner myself. I also feel confident that I can pass on the effectiveness of learning a language for the first time because of my experiences, not just in the education sector but also as part of my experience during my youth. As both of my parents and many of my friends and acquaintances are from different cultures, I strive to help people of all nations and nationalities achieve their goals regarding English as global means of communication. That’s one of the reason I continue to study and keep up to date with my English.
I first came across LTTC January of 2005. Since then I have taken various courses and have without a doubt enjoyed each one very much. I have found the courses at LTTC original, challenging, stimulating and extremely worth doing.
The Teacher support was overwhelming and have recommend LTTC to all of my teaching colleagues.
Finally. I will finish my education with the LTTC M.A. TESOL as soon as I find the money.
Thank You LTTC
Best regards
Mr.Antony Martiniani Shinomiya

Lorraine Malan
I was born in England and have always loved learning foreign languages and travelling.
I have previously lived and worked in Germany and South Africa gaining a good knowledge of German and Afrikaans whilst living there.
My family and I moved to Nanjing in the People’s Republic of China in January 2002. I spent my first four months studying Mandarin full time at Nanjing International University. The course was difficult but really interesting and I met lots of other students from all over the world. I am now reasonably proficient in Mandarin.
I was then asked to teach conversational English to Chinese employees of a multinational company in Nanjing. The course was very successful but extremely difficult for me as I had no previous teaching experience. I therefore decided to enrol with LTTC and gained my TEFL Certificate which has helped me a lot by giving me more confidence in the classroom. I am currently studying for a Diploma in TBE which will enhance my skills and job opportunities a great deal.
I am glad I chose to study with LTTC as I have found my courses to be both thorough and practical and the staff are always quick to help me with any queries.

Carole Millington
Hi, my name is Carole Millington and I’ve recently began studying for my TESOL with LTTC. I hope to teach English in Asia in the very near future. I am a proud mother of two and my second grand child is due shortly.
Since 1997 I have been involved in the regulatory review of personal pensions, which was something I go into on a temporary basis but has turned out to be more permanent than I intended.
I have a first class honours degree in Mathematics and Computing (1994) and a Diploma in Computing (1993). After graduating I was the prime carer for my invalid mother who sadly died in 1996.
Carole has now completed her Diploma in Tesol - here are her comments dated 19th July 03:
Can I take this opportunity to say that I found the course both enjoyable and comprehensive and would have no hesitation in recommending LTTC to others.
Even more impressive was the quality of service you provide which was nothing short of superb.
Thanks again,
Carole

What past students have said about LTTC
"I am an ESL teacher in Seoul South Korea. I wanted to learn more about modern teaching methods so decided to enroll in the London Teacher Training Centre. I found the modules to be a lot of work but the work is very interesting and definitely worth the time involved. More importantly, the four modules are very practical. The modules take you step by step through; modern teaching methods, teaching aids, lesson plans, syllabus planning, grammar, phonetics and linguistics. Every module is necessary for ESL teaching".
"The staff was extremely helpful and promptly answered any correspondence I had with them. My tutor was very encouraging and when I had a problem with the work he quickly made suggestions that solved the problem".
"The thesis does require a lot work. At first, the thesis seemed very complicated but as I got into the research I found it very interesting and practical. The work seemed to flow. It is necessary to have a M.A. to teach in any university in Seoul, but an M.A. TESOL is very prestigious.".
"I strongly recommend the London Teaching Centre to any ESL teacher or anyone is thinking of becoming an ESL teacher".
Bill Speeroff
"I wanted to compliment LTTC on the excellent diploma program you offer on
the web. It is a lot of work but well worth the effort. I have had a chance
to compare your course to one of your competitor's and believe me your
course is far superior. The competitor's course consisted of 25 pages of
material and only briefly covered all the subject matter that you covered on
your course. If a person is serious about becoming a knowledgeable and
effective English language teacher I would highly recommend the LTTC course."
