The certificate prepares students to teach English in private language schools, community colleges, universities, adult education language programs, and private businesses. Individuals from all walks of life in the United States and around the world also hire trained personal tutors to help them learn English.
Many institutions in the New York City area that normally require that candidates hold master's degrees will hire our certificate holders. One administrator told us recently, "If I get a job application from someone with a New School certificate, I always interview that applicant."
When applying abroad, our students report that prospective employers are always impressed that our program includes a minimum of 50 hours of student-teaching time — that's three to four times more than many certificate programs.
