Can a TESOL certificate help you?
There are many ways for teachers to increase their competitiveness in the marketplace, but TESOL certification is one of the highest needs right now. NYC is facing a shortage of qualified teachers who can teach students classified as ENL (formerly ELL, or ESL). TESOL certification means you’re what schools are looking for.
CITE offers affordable, practical, convenient programs: weekend classes (and school breaks), at $745 per three-credit course, leading you to the fastest, most convenient, affordable program in NYC.
TESOL is great in that not only can you teach in New York State where TESOL teachers are in high demand, but all over the world as so many countries want to hire English native speakers with a TESOL degree/certificate. If you’ve dreamed of teaching English abroad as a way to see part of the world, here’s your chance!
This is perfect for a teacher with professional certification (teachers only, this is not for pupil personnel services or counselors). In this program, you’ll satisfy the requirements for the individual pathway certification in TESOL.
