As a TEFL/TESL or TESOL teacher, you will need to teach grammar. If this makes you feel uneasy, consider School Your Mind's Grammar Intensive Grammar training unit. Conquer grammar from anywhere with this live online Grammar certificate course. Great for people about to teach or about to do a TESOL, TESL or TEFL training.

Enrolment is continuous, i.e. you can start as soon as payment is processed! Our grammar unit will complement your basic TEFL or TESL qualification preparing you for your TEFL needs abroad.

This 12 hour online course presents and explains the fundamental grammatical structures so you are ready and able to teach them to your future students. You will be emailed sections of the unit and will receive individual personal feedback and grades from your TEFL Instructor. Ask questions live at your weekly online session.

Alternatively, you wish to arrive at your CELTA or TESOL training course harnessed with the knowledge that you have a sound academic foundation in grammatical terms and usage.

NOTE: this course is NOT computer-graded. All work is marked individually by your TEFL Instructor with regular live online chat sessions.

As a native speaker using correct grammar is unconscious for us. We don't have to think about how to conjugate our verbs - we just talk! Naturally this will not be the case for students learning English, which is why you will, as a TEFL teacher, be required to teach it. We don't want to alarm you but if you were asked to teach a lesson on, for example, the present perfect passive, gerunds, modals, collocations or the past perfect tense, would you know what to teach, or how?
If your answer is no, then this intensive grammar unit is for you!

Maybe you do have a good idea of grammar or at least you used to have. Well, if this is the case, this unit will help you reactivate your knowledge so you'll have the explanations and examples at your fingertips for when you're in front of your class. Not only that, successful completion of this specialised course unit will look good on your TEFL resume/CV when you're applying for teaching positions.

If you wish to take this course independently from any other course, please be aware that School Your Mind will provide you with a certificate of completion, together with a transcript of the skills covered.

Our Business English courses have a standard structure in terms of the format of the course and the grammar taught but the content is flexible and based on the needs and requirements of individual companies regarding business language and terminology.

Some courses are geared towards general business English, while others focus more on writing skills or oral presentation skills. We determine your specific needs by initially setting up a needs analysis meeting, which is then followed by an assessment of the employees who will be involved which helps us decide how long a course should be, and for how many hours.

Courses are face-to-face in-house at your premises. Please be aware that it is important to have a suitable room available for the lessons, along with a whiteboard, CD player, TV/video and so on. We advise that there be a maximum of 10 students in a group so that each student can get the necessary attention and opportunity to practice and to ask questions.
