Graduate English Teaching Certificate Do you want to issue certificates to your students? Over the years, ITTT has focused on providing quality training to future TEFL and TESOL teachers, preparing them to teach English as a foreign language.

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Parents Part in Children’s Educational Process A child’s education starts at home. For a child, every parent should be his or her first teacher. So parents’ role in the education of their child is very critical. They form a bridge between their child and school. Child, school/teacher, and parents form a triangle.

In this essay, I will discuss a few ways in which parents can contribute to the education of their children. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate SAIRA U.
