I attended February 2024

I left my country for the first time ever. I was completely alone and had no clue what I was doing but the TEFL team provided so much comfort and support! During my program I got extremely sick but they helped me get back on track which I am extremely grateful for. Any question and concern I had they answered very promptly and I honestly have no criticisms or negative comments about my experience (besides the getting sick part). I highly recommend!

Thank you for all the support

The course was very hands on which I think gave us all a feeling of purpose. It was very interactive and I feel like I've learned a lot. All the communication and correspondence was great and I got lots of support with the visa.

I found the teachers knowledge of grammar and English inspiring. Some classes were quite enjoyable because of that. I also thoroughly enjoyed teaching the students, we learned a lot from being observed while teaching then getting feedback.

Thank you! It's been great!

The whole experience was just amazing, all the tutors and staff were super helpful and friendly :) I got lots of support with my visa and everything was explained clearly. I also got placed in a nice flat with some classmates in a neighbourhood just a short metro ride from the school. Thank you for everything!

I enjoyed everything...the tutors, students, location, challenge...all perfect and stimulating. The workload was high but I felt like it was worth it and I got a lot out of it. I'm already working as a teacher and loving it!

A huge challenge but rewarding

I particularly enjoyed: -the opportunity to teach real students -helpful and friendly staff -feedback, when given on time -focus on lesson planning -the location and school space I truly do appreciate all the staff's hard work and support, but I think I would have liked this course better if I had not taken it in December. At first, everything seemed well balanced but as the weeks went on it was clear that the two missing days of public holiday were crucial in allowing enough time for the course to be challenging but not overwhelming. By the end of it, both students, tutors, and staff alike were exhausted. I feel as though this affected both my performance and enjoyment of the course.  Again, thank you so much for everyone's hard work. I do believe this course is really valuable, but I believe that sharing this feedback is important as well.

Lots covered in 4 weeks

The variety of input session content was impressive. The course offered a diverse range of topics that kept me engaged and eager to learn. The feedback I received was not only constructive but also incredibly detailed, which helped me understand and improve my teaching skills. The support I received throughout the course was great, whenever I needed assistance with tasks or had questions, there was always someone ready to help. As an improvement, if possible, create a teaching practice session for teens/kids for trainees to have a one time experience with teaching kids during the course.

The tutors were incredible

It went so quickly but it's been amazing to be learning again and to do something challenging. Thank you so much ? I thought the input sessions were all really useful and I really enjoyed the unknown language unit. Despite always feeling nervous beforehand, I really enjoyed teaching my classes, and getting to know the students and being able to help them in their language journey. I also really enjoyed the private lessons and experiencing a different style of teaching.
