This course helped me immensely in organizing my teaching Business English lessons from A to Z. I really feel that I have a solid understanding of teaching methods that will be useful in the near future. I was very favourably impressed by the training and the instructor who was extremely knowledgeable in the area. I appreciate the experiences he shared with me; it was definitely a great opportunity for professional development.

I had good support from my tutor and his comprehensive feedback on assignments was appreciated. Having just started a teaching job, what I feel could be improved in the course is some more guidance on the different levels of student achievement mentioned in the course. There was a really useful section on games to play in the classroom.

The course has helped me to organise the Business English teaching that I have been doing for the last four years. It has helped me 1) to become more aware and better able to interpret the needs of my students; 2) to plan lessons around clearly defined goals; 3) to be more confident about the effectiveness of my own methods and style of teaching Business English. The feedback was first class. Another important aspect of the course is the flexibility of deadlines. I have a very busy family/working life and the fact that I could fit in the coursework during ‘calmer’ times of the year enabled me to enjoy completing each assignment without pressure.

I have really learnt a great deal from this course. I have an MBA and teach Business subjects as well as Business English and this course has helped me to structure my marketing and management classes as well. The tasks were difficult, but the tutor was always available to provide support. Thank you Tesol-direct!

The course was very interesting and I enjoyed doing it. All the material was very well written and presented, and appropriate for self-study. The assignments were clearly formulated and relevant to the modules of the course, and I found they developed my understanding very well. A real strength of the course was the extremely helpful and detailed support by the tutor. I want to thank my tutor John Durkin for his very expert, perceptive and interesting feedback on my assignments, and his quick and always very helpful replies to my questions concerning the course.

I loved the in-depth feedback on the assignments. It far exceeded my expectations. I thought that the materials were clear and well written. The tasks within each module were well spaced, thought provoking and relevant, and the module assignments challenging and an important part of the learning experience. Thanks!

An excellent course allowing me to study at my own pace. The TBE course is a great follow-up course to the 150-hour TESOL course that I completed previously. Extremely helpful feedback from my tutor. The course was packed with useful ideas that I hope to use in the future in my new career.

The material is informative and comprehensible for anyone first starting a teaching career as well as those who have worked as teachers for a while. The tutor has provided me with such professional and conscientious help that I believe he is a teacher that students of all grades and ages admire. I hope this high-quality course will be made known widely to many English teachers.

I found the course very professional and the contact with my course tutor was easy and rewarding. He responded very quickly to my emails. I found the feedback from the questions I submitted very good and very useful. It helped me complete further questions and has given me direction in my job. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I would definitely recommend it to colleagues and friends.
