TESTIMONIALS
"The absolute best part of the course is the guaranteed job. This will save you a lot of stress. I had friends who worked for other companies and it took some of them almost six months to find work..."

"Like most things, the key to becoming better at it is experience. ARGO provides its teachers with key presentation assignments throughout the course to get your feet more than wet. Students can actually start earning through teaching before they finish the course. There are other language schools claiming this, but it's a sad fact that not all deliver."

John Bouse taught the course and he is an inspiration. He’s passionate about teaching and has been a top-notch teacher his whole life. Seriously, when I look back at my teachers from school, I cannot remember a teacher who
was as well prepared, lively,
interesting and funny.
