Testimonials
This is what some of our 2020 course graduates said about the IH COLT.
“It is a challenging and thorough introduction to online tutoring. Thank you for a great course with very supportive tutors! I especially enjoyed the synchronous sessions – all very useful and more of those would be great if you could fit them in!” Judy Glover
“I would recommend this course because of the very valuable input, tasks, but also examples of good practice from the tutors.” Teodora Manole
“The tutors were engaged, informed and responsive and the course content was useful. Thanks for a vivid and stimulating course in what could have been lockdown doldrums.” Anne Jackson
“On balance, the course works well. While I said I'd like more input, I recognise that the course is aimed at a range of competencies and experience with teaching and is relatively short. I liked the experiential aspect of the course and feel it's a very good way to get an introduction to online teaching / tutoring. Importantly, it's affordable and leads to certification.” Lynda Beagle
“It will provide you with all information needed to start a new career in online tutoring, for educational purposes.” Marina Mochalova Anishchenko
“In the current situation it’s extremely worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it very useful.” Rachel Kilner
