Fun/work/play
My review of this TEFL language course can only be filled with good things to say and one negative. So I will get the negative out of the way as it is petty and something that is extremely tough to accomidate. That is that I would of liked to of had free housing. Just a place to rest my head and a desk to work on for the next lesson. No need for hotels or fancy things just a room with a bed, desk and chair. The shower and toilet well that would be cool too. As for the good stuff this place just drips from all areas with it. The staff are so helpful you really don't know what to do with yourself because they are always there on top of it and most of the time you don't even have a chance to ask for something because you already have it. I always received extra help when I needed it. For example when I needed to use the computer after the day was finished, as I didn't have computer or internet access outside the classroom, someone always stayed late to make sure my needs were meet. Money was tight for me and several times a staff member helped me out with purchasing some items I needed to complete the course to just make my time there easier. We got to give ideas for any events that we might want to see and/or go to. That particular month was packed with the International Classical music festival and free musuems night. They payed for a hockey game, that me and other classmates wanted to go to. Just overall they were always there to help and make our experience the best possible. AND the succeeded!!!
