This experience has been awful. I am going in three years of dealing with them. You can never speak to the same people or a supervisor and the people you can get on the phone will tell you something different each time you call. I wish I would have gone with any other program at this point.

I would put zero stars if I could. The communication with staff and educators during the course work is the worst I ever experienced. You never talk to the same staff member, they are not upfront about the whole program. They charge you basically for nothing when you are the one who has to pay for the exams, which should be in the 4,000 they charge. Their information is not helpful, I had better information studying away from this program. I do not recommend this program to anyone, it’s a trap. I don’t even know how they are still state accredited. I would have never gave them my money if I knew it was going to be like this.

The program is meh, it’s easy to click through so there’s that but it’s not the most valuable once you’re in the classroom. If it was just that I’d probably give 3 stars. But aside from the course work itself the entire company is such a mess I cannot tell you to run fast enough. Any sort of communication is a nightmare and if you need any sort of documentation from them within less than 2 weeks, no you don’t. And even that takes multiple phone calls that each take over 30 mins from holding to even get a human to them “trying”(??) to resolve your issue. Some people are better than others but apparently all the departments only email each other so literally nothing will ever get done with urgency. You will never actually get to speak to a supervisor so don’t bother (they probably wouldn’t even be helpful anyway). Nicole Lorenzo sent me an email saying she provided my documentation. It wasn’t attached. I spent hours on and off the phone getting it fixed. After mine came through she sent my spouse an email with the exact same thing, no attachments. Now it’s hours later and still no resolution. I started the program in 2016, took a pause, then finished it and started teaching in 2019. Sitting here in August of 2025 telling you it has been this way the entire time. Do not give this company your time or money. Save your mental health. (Also depending where you look it’s Texas Teachers or Teachers of Tomorrow, but it’s the same company, and it’s a nightmare.)

Worse program to join. Stay away from this program. Their advisor has no clue how to help the program. They are not very helpful in your journey to become a teacher. They usually put you on hold if they don't know the answer.

This is my second review for this organization. I have received three additional calls from the advisor team. Because my undergraduate transcript did not specifically list a GPA, I had to get a letter sent from the university specifically listing the GPA. Seems strange, since simple math would generate the same result. The advisor team received the requested letter last Friday, but because the transcript team has not yet processed it, not sure what that means, we still cannot move forward. I am supposed to receive an email to establish a time for a more meaningful conversation once the transcript team has processed my GPA letter.

Long term substitute teachers can get 15 of their FBE hours for being long term subs. However, I am a full-time employed teacher and CAN NOT receive any FBE hours. Even though I have others coming to observe and learn from me. I talked to multiple people and received different answers so it seems like they are still figuring out the program.

Teachers of Tomorrow is not a good program choice if you are adding to your certificate instead of starting from scratch. While I was in the program, I provided proof of a current certificate and transcripts of my college work, and they refused to acknowledge them and provide credit for me, so I had to repeat many courses that I had already completed. Then, months later, they emailed me to let me know that I could opt out of many classes that I already took. This happened with observations as well, initially requiring me to complete 7 observations to add my endorsement, then, after I completed 5 observations, they contacted me to let me know I only needed 2. I was successful in completing my certificate, but it was an arduous, obnoxious process where TOT was not helpful in any part. Additionally, I communicated with my advisors that I only wanted to be contacted by email, and I continued to receive many calls, multiple times a week, updating me on my progress, or just to "check in." I do not recommend this program.

Be prepared to Fail observation hours because you don’t memorize students names. I didn’t fail Any assignments throughout the course until I got to the stupid observation hours. Complete waste of time. They make you redo the hours if you miss out on some BS like that.
