Description:
Coach English Abroad is the recruitment program of OptimalEnglish, a company dedicated to improving its client's English expression through memorable learning experiences. We employ a proprietary learning system that assumes most global executives understand a lot more English than they speak. The objective is to accelerate the client's verbal expression by initially working on self-confidence, intonation, pronunciation, and the linguistic structures of most business interactions. The second phase of the system concentrates on the key grammatical structures that can assure a flawless delivery.

We coach our clients on one-on-one sessions as well as teams of up to seven clients. We work at our clients companies mostly in morning, mid-day and late afternoon hours.
We are located in Caracas and work at Fortune 1000 companies as well as leading local companies.

Coaches hired through Coach English are guaranteed payment for a minimum of 96 academic hours per month or 24 academic hours per week (academic hours are 45 minutes long). This amounts to a competitive compensation package per month. All coaches should expect compensation for additional hours. We believe the monthly minimum is sufficient to pay for a room with a family and cover all necessities, on a tight budget. Coaches hired through Coach English are also entitled to a five-day accommodation allowance designed to ease your transition into the country. Additionally, those recruited through Coach English are entitled to Spanish language classes.

Company:

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

A basic introduction to teaching methodologies, theories, and lesson plans. I learned the pros and cons of the different methods as well as a few methodologies I had never heard of before. That the ESA method is best for new teachers and the format of a ESA lesson has rules but can still be adapted to fit different classes. I also learned a basic guideline of when a student should be corrected and how best to go about it.The information in this unit about the four components of language acquisition was very interesting. I learned that the two receptive skills-reading and listening are important because they invariably lead towards the productive skills which are writing and speaking. I also understood the importance of an integrated approach incorporating all the four skills in order to convey language knowledge with interest and variety.
