BEC is a great institution for aspiring ESL teachers with or without experience. Each session is conducted in an engaging and interesting manner by the lead trainer, Kennedy. A special thanks as well to the administration team for their countless support and encouragement!
It was a precious experience!
BEC has taught me how to teach English in a fun, active way that engages the learners and facilitates opportunities for them to interact with the language meaningfully, beyond the textbook. This enjoyable approach to teaching is also reflected in the way BEC trains us to become competent ESL teachers. I have no regrets signing up for this TESOL course as I have learnt so much about language-teaching methodologies, lesson planning and so much more. I have also gained many like-minded friends through this course 🙂 Thank you all at BEC~!! It was a precious experience!!

The curriculum is comprehensive and lessons are interactive and engaging
Lessons are interactive and engaging.
I took the Diploma in TESOL at BEC and I have to say that it has been a memorable journey for me. Before signing up, I was researching many other schools that were offering the same course, but after a sit-in session at BEC, I immediately signed up for the course. The curriculum is comprehensive and lessons are interactive and engaging. There are countless opportunities during the lessons for the learners to put to practice and apply what is taught. This hands-on approach was a huge draw for me.
Kennedy is a great instructor who is very knowledgeable and encouraging. He never fails to keep us on our toes which I must say prepares us well for the real classroom environment. For that I am very appreciative.
Yu Chin has been absolutely supportive during my learning journey providing guidance and advice where necessary. Her care and concern for the learners goes beyond her call of duty. I am ever grateful for that.
…interesting and fun
The TESOL course was interesting and fun. I enjoyed all the training sessions with my trainer Mr Kennedy and my classmates. And Yu Chin is the most helpful and kind admin staff who made my learning experience a positive and memorable one.
The teachers and school staff are very professional
It is a wonderful place to achieve the tesol diploma. The teachers and school staff are very professional and they create a nice atmosphere, so it strengthens the bonding between the students when they need to overcome the hardship. It is truly rewarding, because the students will be able to acquire the teaching skills after taking the course.
It was a great learning experience for me
I recently completed the requirements to my TESOL diploma here. It was a great learning experience for me. I would always look forward to my evening classes despite having to commute from Joo Koon to Amoy Street minimally twice a week. Kennedy, our instructor is very knowledgeable and engaging. Thank you Yu Chin and her other administrative superstars. I've met some of the nicest people here at BEC. I will miss the interaction with my course mates the most. While the idea of Practicum is intimidating, it is an important and valuable capstone experience. It has been a very fulfilling journey these few months.
The curriculum is comprehensive and lessons are taught in a fun and engaging way
I took the diploma in TESOL at BEC and I have to say that this is the best school ever! Before signing up, I was researching many other schools that were offering the same course, but a sit-in at one of BEC's lessons was what convinced me to sign up with them. The curriculum is comprehensive and lessons are taught in a fun and engaging way, that allows me to apply what I have learnt and easily retain what was taught.
Kennedy is a great instructor who is patient, knowlegeable and encouraging. His lessons are always fun but at the same time practical, and his way of teaching has prepared me very well for the real classroom environment, for which I am very grateful.
Yu Chin has been very supportive during my learning journey and she is always there to bounce off ideas when needed, providing guidance where necessary.

Very refreshing, engaging…
BEC has equipped me with additional knowledge in exploring the English Language and teaching methodology even though I have been teaching this subject for the past 23 years. The approach to language teaching is very refreshing, engaging and would appeal to those who wish to improve upon themselves or to pick up a skill or two to be a better ESL teacher. Thank you all from BEC. It has a great experience and I will continue this journey as an ESL teacher.
…great and memorable!
My TESOL learning journey with BEC has been great and memorable! The trainers are professional and inspiring, and BEC team is always accommodating. The training materials, teaching techniques and classroom activities were really valuable, fun and engaging. I enjoyed every class of the course. The classroom has a welcoming atmosphere and the centre’s library is full of resources for teacher trainees. Throughout the course, I met a lot of friendly and supportive classmates from different countries. Choosing BEC to do the TESOL course was the right decision that I made. Thank you, BEC, for fulfilling my wish to follow my passion to be an English teacher.
…teaching methods were exceptional
I wanted a change in career and TESOL has been an interest of mine for a few years. I hunted around for a reputable course and after hours of research I chose to complete my TESOL Diploma with BEC. The course and modules were delivered in a professional and fun manner and Kennedy's teaching methods were exceptional. I cannot thank BEC enough for their support throughout my journey. Special thanks to Kennedy and Yuchin (who is the heart and soul of BEC).

Signing up for the Diploma in TESOL with BEC was the best gift I could give myself
Signing up for the Diploma in TESOL with BEC was the best gift I could give myself! It has been such a fulfilling and amazing 2 months.
The content of the course is so well thought out , even for non-experienced teachers like me, just what you really need to be an engaging teacher. It is neatly dividing into 4 modules and once you finish all four they all come together.
The head trainer, Kennedy, is so inspiring. I learnt so much from just observing him. His passion and energy rubs on you and makes you want try and do your best. He is always available to answer queries and guide us. I also had the opportunity to study under Ms Alvina and Ms Joan, who are fantastic teachers and so kind.
The support staff at BEC is truly so supportive, Ms Yu Chin, encouraging all through the way. She makes sure that each student is comfortable and settling in well.
I will definitely recommend Dip in TESOL from BEC for anyone who wants to teach in English as a second Language.
I spent 1 month learning an intensive course at BEC
I spent 1 month learning an intensive course at BEC. And in this one-month intensive course, not only did I get the chance to learn new things but also had the chance to make new friends. BEC provides the most quality course of TESOL that I have ever experienced. The trainer and BEC staffs are really friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything, BEC.
‘Incredible’ would be an understatement to describe my learning journey at BEC
'Incredible' would be an understatement to describe my learning journey at BEC! I've been stretched intellectually and challenged professionally. The Diploma in TESOL is a fundamentally sound yet comprehensive course for anyone who wants to teach English; even as a first language since techniques can be modified to suit student types and classes.
At BEC, Kennedy’s active approach in teaching made learning engaging, intensive, mind-boggling yet creative in every aspect. This course truly opened my eyes with a complete paradigm shift in the teaching of the English language. Thank you for putting loads of FUN and ENJOYMENT (not forgetting laughter too) into learning, together with new friendships forged - all these certainly made learning even more delightful!
Be prepared for loads of extensive reading and using the internet to source for ideas, materials and learn from experts by listening and watching videos. The reflections done after every lesson certainly paved the way for further professional and personal growth.
I’d also like to give a shout-out to the wonderful administrative team: Bernie, Michelle and Yu Chin. They were like the students’ pillars of support throughout the course and stepped up in times of need. Besides encouraging us, they've always kept the pantry well-stocked for peckish students. Thank YOU!
Would definitely recommend this course and BEC to any prospective teachers or even current teachers of English, so that they can aspire to teach English using active approaches and help language learners achieve their goals through exciting, interactive and innovative ways.
A very friendly learning environment!
A very friendly learning environment! My trainer was very knowledgeable and engaging, the hours spent in class flew by really quickly. This experience remains deeply memorable and it was indeed time well spent. I have met many people from very diverse backgrounds and made a few great friends!
Thanks to the administrative staff as well, who helped facilitate my journey and always treated me kindly.
…it was the best decision I have made (so far!) in 2018
I started my TESOL journey with British Education Centre February this year and I can honestly say that it was the best decision I have made (so far!) in 2018. The head trainer, Kennedy, has been a great mentor to all of us trainee teachers and his knowledge of English language teaching seems boundless. Yu Chin is BEC's angel and has made the entire process - from registration, scheduling, exam prep and coordination - a total breeze. I was also lucky to have had a module taught by Alvina, who is such a brilliant individual and someone I look up to as well. I can't express my gratitude to BEC enough and would most definitely recommend BEC to anyone interested to embark on this journey. Wishing everyone all the best!
BEC is the place to go
I recently completed a refresher module course in Linguistic & English Language with BEC. It was indeed very refreshing and enjoyable for me. Thank you Kennedy, Yu Chin & BEC staff.
For those who have already obtained your Tesol Diploma but need some continuing skills and teaching knowledge, BEC is the place to go.
… learnings has become such a joy
With dedicated teachers’ guidance and interactive engagement during all our lessons, learnings has become such a joy.
I completed my TESOL with confidence in teaching
I started with zero experience in teaching, after 6 months with BEC, I completed my TESOL with confidence in teaching and great inspiration from the teachers, staffs and classmates.
I would definitely recommend BEC for your TESOL journey.
My time at the BEC Singapore was one of the most elucidating and exhilarating experiences of my life
My time at the BEC Singapore was one of the most elucidating and exhilarating experiences of my life. Our trainer, Mr Kennedy Albar is, without a doubt, one of the best teachers I've ever had the good fortune to encounter in life. He made each lesson come alive, and his wisdom and knowledge inspire all his students, as they did me. When it was time for me to sit for my exams, I chanted my very own mantra, Do what Kennedy would do. And I aced them all. And Ms Yu Chin, the Angel and Rock of the institution, was there even before I started the course, spurring me on and cheering for me all the way. Thank you, BEC, for having brought me past yet another threshold in my life. I carry the beautiful memories you gave me all the way to my shining future.
