The way you wrote this question indicates your grasp of the English language is not sufficient for teaching. Have you done any research at all? TOEFL (TEST of English as a Foreign Language) is a TEST, like the SAT or the GRE. It doesn't have anything to do with teaching.
The advantages of getting a certificate are that EVERY decent school requires one. Unless you want to work for the worst boss in the worst conditions for the worst pay you'll need to obtain a certificate. Also, for someone like yourself who may have difficulty communicating in English, getting a certificate proves that you have an acceptable grasp of the English language AND the basic skills needed to teach it. Online certificates aren't worth the paper they're printed on. You need a certificate program that is at least 120 hours and includes real-life supervised teaching practice with real students.
"He ate cake."
"He has eaten cake."
Can you describe the differences in meaning and form of those two sentences? Can you describe the situations in which one would be appropriate but the other wouldn't? This is the kind of thing you would teach to LOWER-INTERMEDIATE students. Post your answer (proving you have a decent grasp of basic structures in the English language) and I'll edit my answer to give you more info about the certification process.

There are different experiences which were advised approximately the lifetime of jesus, all exceptional, so the church within the center a while convened and made up our minds what they could take delivery of for the bible and what they would not. Some mentioned that he had brothers one being Joseph, others mentioned that Mary used to be his spouse. there have been different gospels written approximately his existence, however none had been written till forty years after his demise.
