Course Overview
The subject knowledge is updated from reputable sources, ensuring accuracy and alignment with modern educational trends. The materials combine theory, illustrative examples, practice exercises, homework, and video lectures, enabling learners to absorb knowledge in an active and effective way. In addition to subject knowledge, the materials also provide active teaching methodologies, lesson design techniques, strategies for organizing learning activities, and methods for assessing student outcomes.
Material Structure: Each course consists of two main components:
Subject-Specific Vocabulary: Introduces terminology, concepts, formula reading, and how to present solutions in English. These are integrated into reading passages, real-life scenarios, and interactive activities.
Subject Knowledge: Presents a systematic overview of content by topic, combining concise theory, vivid illustrative examples, and a wide range of exercises.
The international teacher training program at Intertu is scientifically structured into five key stages, guiding learners step by step to master advanced teaching knowledge and methodologies. The learning path is optimally designed to provide sufficient time for study, practice, and review, ensuring maximum effectiveness upon course completion.
Stage 1: Modules on Curriculum and Teaching Methods (Week 1 – Week 4)
Stage 2: Math Foundation Module (Week 5 – Week 8)
Stage 3: Math Extended Module (Week 9 – Week 12)
Stage 4: Math Advanced Module (Week 13 – Week 16)
Stage 5: Final Stage (Week 17 – Week 20)
The class schedule is designed not to interfere with regular teaching commitments.
- Graduated with a major in Mathematics, Natural Sciences, or other Math-related fields from countries such as the UK, Australia, the US, or Singapore, and currently serve as full-time teachers at Intertu Education.
- All instructors have many years of experience teaching Math and Science under international programs such as IGCSE, IB, AP, and A-Level. They have taught students from international and bilingual schools across the country, as well as students studying abroad.
Upon completing the course, learners must meet the following requirements:
Attend Live Tutoring Sessions: Learners are required to attend at least 80% of all scheduled Live Tutoring sessions.
Complete Self-Study Modules: Learners must complete 100% of the assigned content and exercises for all self-study modules within the specified deadlines.
Pass the Final Assessment: Learners must score at least 80% on the final competency assessment.
A certificate will be awarded to confirm that the learner has successfully completed the training program and possesses the necessary qualifications and foundation to teach Math/Science in English—suitable for applying to bilingual schools, specialized schools, and international education centers.
With the goal of making the course accessible to learners across the country, Intertu primarily offers the teacher training program for teaching Math in English in the Blended Learning format—a combination of pre-recorded video lessons (self-paced learning) and interactive live online sessions. This integrated approach is designed to provide a flexible and highly effective learning experience.

- Teaching methodologies
- Effective classroom strategies, including class activities, reward systems, and student motivation techniques
- Classroom communication methods
- Student assessment and evaluation approaches
- Resources and models applicable to lessons to enrich classroom instruction
This module covers the fundamental scientific concepts and skills necessary to teach Science in English at the primary level, with topics including:
- Physics: force, motion, sound, light, magnetism, electricity, the universe, etc.
- Chemistry: substances, materials, properties of materials, etc.
- Biology: plants, humans, animals, living organisms, and their habitats, etc.
- Scientific research: basic scientific research skills and an introduction to laboratory equipment used in science experiments.
This module is designed for teachers who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in teaching Science in English at the lower secondary level, with topics including:
- Biology: characteristics of living organisms, cells, biomolecules, enzymes, plant nutrition, animal nutrition, transport, gas exchange and respiration, reproduction, genetics, human impacts on ecosystems, etc.
