Rennert New York TESOL Center

I took summer intensive course (The World Learning SIT Best Practices in TESOL Certificate Course for non-​native speakers of English) here several years ago. We were about 10 students group. I was the only Japanese and everyone else was Korean. So in a small group discussion or in break times, I often left out from their Korean conversation which was annoying. I hoped that the class was consisted of more mixed nationalities.
But in class, we had great amount of learning, discussion and presentation. I really could gain confidence in my ESL teaching through the demo-​teaching sessions. I could learn how to plan my teaching, manage time, different skills and methods for English teaching and more.
During the course, the classmates became my very close Korean friends and we still keep in touch.
The teachers are passionate and friendly. Brian really helped me out to become a better teacher and was an excellent mentor. I think he moved to another state for his continuing education and not in Rennert anymore, which is sad, but all teachers were nice and knowledgeable.
