Tt Madrid

Why not....Everybodys doing it???

If you are looking to become an excellent teacher and experience the culture and beauty of Spain, I highly recommend Tt Madrid! Spain needs English teachers and there are a lot of people who know that. It is important to be fully prepared and have an edge on the other teachers out there. Tt Madrid gives you that edge! I found the course to be extremely informative and very complete. Natasha and Temura are excellent at what they do and they transmit their enthusiam and knowledge to you. At Tt Madrid, the course prepares you so well in things like how to manage a classroom, work with students one-to-one, design an intensive course , etc. - that you leave there feeling confident and able to teach any level in any situation. I got a job the Monday after I graduated! Another quality I must mention is the warmth and support you feel there. It is a very important thing to feel "safe" in your environment and Tt goes the extra mile. Even if Spain is not your final destination, this course will prepare you to teach in any country. Bottom line - - If you are willing to give 100%, Tt Madrid delivers results!

Doing the TEFL Course through TtMadrid was a great experience for me. Natasha and Tem provide excellent support before, during, and after the course. Not only do you leave with a great deal of knowledge about the methodology, you are also given the opportunity to put it into action in a classroom. The hands on experience prepares you for whatever may come in the real working world. The hard work you put into the course pays off! Upon graduating from the course, you are prepared for teaching in any setting - to children, adults, one-to-one, business English, etc. And the best of all is that you leave having made some great friendships!

When I think about all of the TEFL courses out there, I was pretty lucky that I stumbled onto TTMadrid. Honestly, I couldn't imagine that any of those other courses would actually get you ready to teach - there is a difference between becoming a teacher and learning 'teacher-like' things. They cover everything that you could possibly need, from grammar trees to the particular needs of different students, show you strategies for involving shy students and how to plan out class ahead of time (so important!)... we even had a class that focused on the table of contents in English language books! They cover it all. When I graduated I felt ready to teach but most importantly I felt like I understood the English language. When you get out there and teach there is nothing more important then feeling like you know what you are teaching and TTMadrid delivers! I can't stress enough how important this course is for aspiring TEFL teachers who want to do it right, rather than just get it done. If you want certifications you can rely on than there is no place on earth like TTMadrid!

I want to be objective, before starting this course I have, since graduating from my first degree I can think of 4 short intensive courses and 2 postgraduate courses lasting for a year that I have completed in the hope they would help me find work, but none had. This course was intensive, required dedication and hard work, but Natasha and Temura and all staff were supportive and approachable and worked hard to make sure we got through it if we were prepared to put the effort in. It was not a holiday but I was proud to have attained a good grade and within a week I had 3 job offers, one of which seemed favorable and I took it. It is 5 weeks later and I am still in Spain supporting myself and enjoying teaching. What's more Tt Madrid are still there for me, I am in the loop and I have a support network to go back to, for a place to go and sort work things out to advice and assistance. In terms of having a job; 7th time lucky. I trust these people, what they told me before the course turned out to be true for me. Some people have not been as lucky as me, but if you pass the course you will find work. I also made several friends at TT Madrid and it has an ongoing social network with the occasional party to go to even after you qualify. At a time like this with an economic crises I consider myself lucky to have a job and to be independent right now.

I really enjoyed the month course I did in TtMadrid. While I did find the course difficult and intensive the trainers were very helpful and and did offer a lot of support during the course and now after I have finished. I would recommend TtMadrid to anybody.
