The Rennert Experiential Approach to Language, or R.E.A.L, is a unique method developed by Cesar Rennert that prioritizes communication through experience! Using this technique, teachers get students speaking from the very first class. However, NOT only do we get students speaking, but we also help students to experience language, through real life, authentic materials and context, this means that our students live the language from day one. This makes our learning more purposeful, rewarding and effective.

In Rennert New York I learned several skills to become a complete teacher. I learned creative and effective ways to teach the target language in order to obtain fluency from my students. This course was an amazing experience in many ways. My trainer was always so supportive, the environment is really friendly. The course is really challenging but totally worth the effort. Dont feel intimidated by this, it is hard work but you will have the support from your trainer and your peers.
Its amazing how at Rennert theyre always checking up on you and the tasks so it wont become too much. You will become confident, will have more job oportunities and learn about yourself and others. I recommend 100% to take this course. The location is perfect, since its really close to the New York Public Library, at Berkeley College and its really close to Subway Stations, food places, parks, pharmacys, etc.
If youre thinking about investing and taking this course, you wont regret it. I got back home and applied my dream job and got it : im really thankful for what i learned, and the people I met.

The Rennert NY TESOL Center was a great place for me to receive my TESOL certification. Not only is the staff incredibly knowledgeable about all the important aspects of teaching English abroad, they are also very personable and helpful. Having basically no teaching experience before enrolling, I was welcomed with open arms and guided down the road to success.
Our instructor, Will, and the center's director, Autumn, were always open and upbeat, and made balancing the workload very manageable. Within two days from graduating from Rennert, I had job interviews lined up with prospective employers. Without their help I never would have been able to have the confidence to teach English abroad and start a new journey. I eventually accepted a job in China and owe it all to them. I highly recommend their center for TESOL certification - but come ready to work!

I attended and completed the TESOL certificate course and the Teaching Business English certificate course. Instructors are excellent, and offer practical and usable instruction and feedback on best practices in teaching English. Support staff is responsive, helpful and friendly and the atmosphere of experiential learning is unique and taught in a way that participants are able to experience teaching techniques, reflect on them and then immediately use the new technique with real students. I found the immersive process to be fun, challenging and rewarding.

An immensely rewarding, life-altering month taking the SIT TESOL Intensive. The best designed training I've ever had and the most challenging in terms of intensity. You will work extraordinarily hard, receive constant, caring support from the trainers and graduate with priceless skills and techniques for the teaching of English. Beyond that the school offers job search help and follow-up workshops to further your growth.

Taking the SIT-TESOL course at Rennert was one of the greatest learning experiences I have ever had. All of the instructors were warm, encouraging and very knowledgable. The practice teaching hours worked into the course were extremely helpful in giving us future teachers a taste of what the real world will be like as well as giving us a huge boost of confidence. I would highly suggest the course to anyone looking to teach abroad!

An absolutely wonderful place for ESL learners and instructors-in-training. Being just a few blocks away from the United Nations Headquarters and surrounded by different country missions and consulates just seems so perfectly appropriate. I was there for the intensive TESOL certificate program and the biggest positive for me was the absolute and relentless dedication displayed by the staff. They are constantly available for assistance even during their "off" hours and that is often taken for granted. You will not be disappointed with this institution.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking to have a crash course in becoming a TEFL/ESL teacher. The course is an intensive one requiring the participants full dedication to it. I believe that this course if extremely effective, but that the participants have to be quite self-motivated and focused to make it through successfully - it is challenging.
That being said, the trainers do a wonderful job at boosting participant motivation and keeping the participants focused while in the course. The intensive course is almost more than full-time for a month, which would also mean that individuals looking to become participants should not expect to also work a second job - they would have to be financially secure in some form or fashion to be able to dedicate the full month to this course, though it is well worth it in my humble opinion.

I recently completed the 4 week SIT TESOL Course Intensive at the Rennert School in NYC. It was an incredible course. I learned so much about teaching and teaching English and about myself that I had never considered before. Our "Trainer" Chris was excellent. He was thoughtful and thought provoking. He was energetic, interesting and very accommodating to our different backgrounds and experiences.
We were a small class of 4 students with very varied goals and ambitions; we were always supportive and encouraging of each other and laughed a lot! We had tough time saying goodbye. I would highly recommend the course - it is intense but so rewarding.
