Shouvanik Das, India
I was looking forward to go abroad as an English teacher. Then I saw that everywhere they asked for a TESOL certificate. On searching the net I came across ATI, which offered the course in kolkata. As kolkata was the suitable place for me so I came up to ATI office & talked with the staff. Through the net I also came to know that ATI has a good reputation in the world. Then I chose ATI.
First of all I want to thank all the trainers for their dedicated contribution. I would also like to thank all the admin staff for their prompt service. Certainly, I would have missed something, had I not come to kolkata for this course. I really learnt a lot about teaching English language. I also enjoyed the time with my peers.

Cynthia Furtado , India
From what I read online, I figured out that ATI kolkata was authentic for the purpose of training reception. Also, the weightage of the certificate validity all over the world propels my interest to travel and work abroad at the same time. Hence, I chose ATI as it seems promising for a good teaching career around the globe.
It was a very refreshing experience here in kolkata as I was away from the hustle bustle of the city of Pune. The people were as warm as the climate! The food too was interesting!
The ATI faculty made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay and never hesitated to guide as by always bring approachable! I’m glad I got an opportunity to do this course!

Naina Kinarivala
I had done a lot of research on the TESOL course available and found ATI as a genuine institute. Since TESOL course over expensive, I was keen on doing the course from a recognized institute. Getting a certificate from ATI would definitely add value to our teaching prospects. I come across innovative ways of teaching. I also learnt of the basic methodology used in TESOL training.

Pooja Patel
I chose ATI as it is internationally recognized. Get a certificate from American TESOL institute which can be used worldwide to get a job as I am planning to move abroad. Experience at Ahmedabad with adroit trainers and consult ants was really good. Infrastructure was good.

Smith Christie 
For its International acceptance and to learn the new method of teaching. Also it was going to be in Ahmedabad.
It was good as we could use the facilities available there, even if we want we could stay back for extra time and finish our lesson plans or other work. That way they all were supportive. I learnt and really fell that this TESOL method can work wonders if used properly. In our TP.s I could see the difference in the students of the school. They were happy and trying to speak English.

Mala Dhar, Germany
I chose ATI because duration of the course is shorter compared to other institutes, the fees is reasonable. The reviews on internet were good. Last but not least, one of the locations of ATI is kolkata. This is my place of birth, although I never lived here therefore I wanted to experience the city and learn how to teach.
I was born in kolkata but never lived here so this was a good opportunity to experience the city. In spite of poverty, dirt, pollutions, I think this city is vivid and the safest city in India. I am glad that I chose ATI. The course was well coordinated, the contents were very good. For a future teacher, after doing a course in ATI, I am sure there will be no difficulty. I also learnt how to draw pictures. As the worst artist on the earth this was really great.

Anabela Pinto, Portugal
It had to do basically with internet marketing, which seemed to function pretty well. While surfing on the web, I frequently came across ATI, so I have decided to have a look and I was interested in the possibility of teaching abroad or getting the certificate and teach back home, since it’s a worldwide recognized certificate.
I had a good experience regarding ATI, but not so good regarding kolkata (one may be the problem was Garia)

Inhye Baek, Korea
Personally, I want to be an English teacher after graduation so I have had interests at TESOL program. At that time I had searched a few TESOL programs through interment. At that time I found out this site, and I decide to choose program after looking through this course.
I was interested at this course. Above all.going schools is very useful for me. Teaching directly could be very good experience. I thank the trainers for training me.

Samten. T. Bhutia, India 
I was not aware of the TESOL program so it really happened by chance. I was surfing the net and I come across the website and instantly I made up my mind that I will do my course in ATI and also because it was located in Kolkata.I am familiar with the city and its one of the safest city in India .
My experience with ATI was very good the course gave me more them what I had expected. I have always born teaching young children and was not confident enough to teach higher classes but here at ATI I saw the other side of me. I thank ATI for this wonderful experience.

Arthur Collins, USA
Because it was close to Bodhgaya and it was in India. An overseas location. I wanted a TESOL certificate.. My choice was based larger on closeness to Bodhgaya. I have to go there, so it fit the travel plans
I am glad to have taken the course, but did find it hard. I often had a hard time understanding the teachers, and found at the beginning l would start a sentence and the teachers would interrupt and finish the sentence. For me giving it a different nearing than the one I intended. I did not like kolkata as much as Bodhgaya. I did enjoy the students very much and look forward to using what I have learned. I did like the people near the guest house.

DORIS, CANADA
Cheapest, happened to be in India, time when I happened to be here.
Kochi sucks... City life pollution + traffic is not somewhere we should be when trying to ease the mind. Teaching overseas often means teaching in remote areas. Why not prepare our minds for a future experience? Positive- ATI itself has been great. Responded to all my emails quickly, answered all my question, Staff have been fabulous, patient and approachable. A good location with such amazing people would be ideal. Thank you for an overall grand experience. I feel like e could not have learnt the techniques without ATI.

RAKESH K R, INDIA

I was teaching student in Poland as a part time teacher and understood the importance of English, and some further research I did tracked my interest, and in India ATI gives respectable and good certificate, I chose ATI.
I was in Cochin for 19 days, and it’s a great place. Near the seaside and the people at ATI were very nice and informative. I felt like I was at home and I and live to take home some I have best memories of my time.

ABRAHAM. T. PHILLIP, India
In short I would say life changing.
Yes if you could, again just a request if you could increase the course duration
NIAMH KEOGHAN, Australia
It was a very effective course. Aimed at exactly what it was we needed to know, especially for those of us without teaching experience. I feel like I have been given exactly what I need to know to start working as a teacher, even though I have never taught before. Its given me a good basic to work from.

I was told that I had be give a placement, after the course. I had set my heart on this happen, but now that I am here I have found out that it is not possibility. That’s very disappointing. And I am lucky I did not believe too strongly in what I was told, before I came to do the course. It could have been a big problem.
Jayanthi, India
I read about it and it seemed to be interesting .Also I wanted to learn new methodologies in teaching.
Kochi was great, it’s the ideal “holiday while you study” destination.
