WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Maria Condon

GREAT ONLINE FORMAT

Maria Condon

I loved the online course format. I was able to complete modules on the weekends and evenings while I still worked full-time and saved up for teaching abroad. Since I’d never been in front of a classroom of students before, the classroom management module helped prepare me to be a confident teacher. Overall, great course!
