TEFL Madrid Academy

Coming from Canada, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for the TEFL program in Madrid, but it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. The course was challenging, for sure, but in the best way possible. I learned so much, not just about teaching but also about myself. The trainers were super supportive and always there to give feedback or help with anything I was struggling with. The teaching practice was definitely the highlight for me. There’s nothing like being in front of a classroom of real students to push you out of your comfort zone. By the end, I felt confident and ready to take on any classroom. Plus, Madrid was just amazing. The city has so much energy, and there’s always something to do — whether it’s trying tapas at a local bar, exploring the beautiful streets, or just hanging out at Retiro Park. If you’re thinking about doing this program, just be prepared to put in the work. It’s not a walk in the park, but it’s worth it. You’ll leave with more than just a certificate — you’ll have amazing memories, new friends, and a lot of new skills.

As someone coming from the USA, I was excited but nervous about starting my TEFL journey in Madrid. Looking back, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The program was incredibly well-structured, and the support from the staff made the entire experience smooth and rewarding. The hands-on teaching practice was invaluable. I walked into my first lesson unsure of myself but finished the program feeling confident and prepared. The trainers were encouraging, giving honest feedback that pushed me to improve. Madrid itself was a dream — the food, the vibrant streets, and the cultural richness made every day special. What future participants should know is that the program is intense but absolutely worth it. Be ready to work hard and embrace the challenge. It’s not just about earning a certificate; it’s about growing as a person, building professional skills, and immersing yourself in a new culture. For me, the best part was meeting incredible people from all over the world. The friendships I made, both with classmates and locals, added so much depth to my experience. This isn’t just a program — it’s an adventure, a stepping stone to a brighter future, and a chance to make unforgettable memories.

I had the pleasure of completing my TEFL certification with the academy in Madrid, and it was an unforgettable experience! The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, blending professionalism with a personal touch. The curriculum was rigorous yet engaging, and the practical teaching sessions gave me the confidence I needed to step into a classroom. Madrid’s vibrant culture added to the experience, making it as enriching outside the classroom as it was inside. For anyone considering TEFL training, I can’t recommend this program enough. Future participants should prepare to be challenged, inspired, and completely immersed in both teaching and Spanish culture. The friendships I formed and the skills I gained will last a lifetime.

Our experience with TEFL Madrid Academy was truly life-changing. As a couple, we were nervous about starting a new life abroad, but the staff made everything easy and welcoming. From day one, they guided us through the visa process, helped us find accommodation, and provided thorough training that left us feeling confident in our teaching abilities.

What stood out most was the academy’s help with all the legal paperwork – they made the visa process so smooth and easy! It allowed me to focus on my training and adapting to my new life in Spain without stress. Their job placement support is fantastic; they have connections with various academies and schools, and they worked tirelessly to help me find a teaching position right after graduation. I had interviews lined up even before finishing the course! If you're looking for a TEFL program that offers excellent training, unwavering support, and a genuine path to employment, TEFL Madrid is the place to be.

My experience with TEFL Madrid Academy was nothing short of amazing! Before even completing the TEFL program, I was struggling to find job opportunities. However, thanks to the incredible support from the TEFL Madrid team, I was offered a teaching position with their sister academy, Exam Madrid, before I even graduated! The staff was always there to guide me, ensuring I had everything I needed to succeed. Now, I'm living my dream in Spain, working with multiple academies and as a private tutor. TEFL Madrid not only gave me the skills I needed but also provided me with real job opportunities right from the start. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join TEFL Madrid Academy!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with TEFL Madrid. From the moment I signed up, they were committed to ensuring my success, and they absolutely delivered on their promise of 100% job placement. I was a bit skeptical at first because it sounded too good to be true, but they proved me wrong. The course was excellent, covering everything I needed to feel confident stepping into a classroom. But what really set TEFL Madrid apart was their job placement support. Before I even finished the course, they had already lined up several interviews for me, and within a week of graduating, I had secured a full-time teaching position at a fantastic language school in Madrid. The best part was that I never felt alone in the process. The staff were with me every step of the way, providing guidance and encouragement. Knowing that they had my back took a lot of the stress out of the job search. If you're looking for a TEFL program that not only trains you well but also guarantees you’ll have a job at the end, TEFL Madrid is the real deal. I’m now happily teaching in Madrid and couldn’t be more grateful!

My experience at TEFL Madrid was a game-changer. The course provided me with specialized training to confidently teach English for official exams like IELTS and Cambridge, something I never imagined I'd be able to do so effectively. The curriculum was hands-on and focused on real-world teaching scenarios, giving me the tools I needed to succeed in the classroom. What truly made my journey with TEFL Madrid exceptional was the personalized support I received with all the legal aspects of my stay in Spain. Navigating visas and legal requirements seemed daunting at first, but the team at TEFL Madrid made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. They walked me through every step, ensuring that my legal status was secured and all my paperwork was perfectly in order. Moreover, they were incredibly proactive in helping me find a teaching position even before I finished the course. Their network of contacts landed me a great job in a reputable language school in Madrid, where I now teach exam preparation classes with confidence. Finding suitable accommodation was another hurdle I was worried about, but TEFL Madrid made it easy by helping me secure a comfortable place to live that fit my budget and needs.

Choosing TEFL Madrid was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The course itself was top-notch, providing me with all the necessary tools to become an effective English teacher. However, what really stood out for me was the incredible support TEFL Madrid offered in handling all the legal paperwork and visa requirements. As a non-EU citizen, I was initially worried about navigating the bureaucratic maze of securing a visa, finding legal work, and making sure everything was in order for my stay in Spain. But TEFL Madrid took care of everything. From helping me with the visa application process to ensuring my legal status was solidified, they made what could have been a stressful experience completely hassle-free. They also guided me through the paperwork for obtaining a work contract, making sure every detail was covered. What’s even more amazing is that I secured a job before I had even finished the course! TEFL Madrid’s job placement service is second to none. They not only connected me with their partner schools but also helped me land a teaching position right away. I started teaching part-time while still completing the course, which was a fantastic way to gain practical experience and earn an income immediately. Thanks to TEFL Madrid, I’m now teaching full-time at a wonderful academy in Madrid, and I couldn’t be happier. The transition to living and working in Spain was smooth and stress-free, all thanks to the dedicated team at TEFL Madrid. If you’re looking for a TEFL program that offers comprehensive support, including handling all the legalities of working abroad, look no further. TEFL Madrid has you covered from start to finish.

My experience at TEFL Madrid was nothing short of transformative! From the very first day, the team at TEFL Madrid made me feel like I was part of a family. The course itself was rigorous and well-structured, covering everything from lesson planning to classroom management. I felt fully equipped with the skills I needed to step into a classroom and teach confidently. What truly sets TEFL Madrid apart, though, is their unwavering commitment to job placement. Before I even completed the course, they assured me that I would have a teaching position, and they absolutely delivered on that promise. Right after graduation, I was offered a teaching role at Exam Madrid, their own English academy in the heart of the city. It was the perfect environment to start my teaching journey, with supportive colleagues and eager students. But the support didn’t stop there. TEFL Madrid also connected me with another language school in the city, where I now teach a variety of classes. On top of that, they helped me set up private online lessons, which have been a fantastic way to supplement my income and reach students from all over Spain. The flexibility and diversity of teaching opportunities have been incredible. Living and working in Madrid has been a dream come true, and I owe so much of that to TEFL Madrid. The job placement guarantee they offer is 100% real, and they are with you every step of the way to ensure you land on your feet. If you’re considering a TEFL course and want the security of knowing you’ll have a job afterward, I can’t recommend TEFL Madrid highly enough. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.

After I graduated from University in Kansas, I came out to Europe, and travelled for a bit. I was pretty much taken in by the culture, and the architecture (which is what I went to school for). I wanted to make a bit of a transition in my career by working on projects in Europe. Before I pursued that career, I wanted to take a bit of a detour, so friends recommended that I teach English. I thought that this was a pretty good idea, and I wanted to make a bit of money while I was looking for the right opportunity. I saw that Teaching English in Spain was very likely the best option as that was the country that needed the most teachers. The people at TE Madrid explained that because I had experience in a professional field that I would be able to find private students in the business world, and that they would help me find a job upon completing a TEFL Certification in Madrid. Their academy was located near several Universities, so looking for students would be easier. Okay, so I had the plan, I knew where I was going, and I pretty much put down my deposit for the TEFL Course that they offered at their academy, and I was off before I knew it. When I started, I wasn’t surprised to see that I was in a room with other people in my position. Some were teachers, nurses, business professionals, and they were all making some kind of change by moving to Europe. I was pretty glad that I wasn’t alone in all this. It would be pretty isolating if I was a professional in a class filled with only party-goers and travellers. The teacher was also very friendly, too. He has lived in Madrid for a couple of years, and was happy to show me the ropes. We went out on the weekends as a way of not only taking in the vibe of the city, but also to make the learning a bit more personal than it would be in other situations, and I kind of like having a beer with the instructor (His name was Jordan, if I remember correctly). Things were pretty close to each other, and while I was doing the course, I also made sure to put some feelers out there with my professional services related to Architecture. Before I knew it, the course was finished, I had a couple of hours of teaching practice, and I was ready for the next step. I wanted to focus on working with other professionals to network and market myself. It wasn’t difficult to find professional students, especially when they either, all need to speak English at work, or that they want to study or work in the United States. I was able to help them out by being a bridge of sorts. When I finished my course, the administrative staff helped me organize my residency appointments. In terms of finding work, I was already doing that, but they were happy to send my resume out. I guess because I was being proactive, I didn’t necessarily need too much help in that department. I ended up with more than I expected. I taught English for a few months before I found another job, and I also held on to a couple of my students as professional contacts. Teaching English in Spain was an unexpected opportunity, and I’m glad that TE Madrid helped me out. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone when I say that moving overseas is a difficult move, so I’m glad that I had the help that I needed to make the move possible.

I’m pretty lucky. My mother is from England, so I grew up learning English and Spanish at home. I can also speak with an English accent. I know that’s what most people want here in Spain. They want Native English Speakers, and for the most part, they want them to come from the United Kingdom. I just finished my Bachelor’s Degree in Madrid, when was going to look into Master’s programs, when I thought about doing a bit of work on the side to make a bit of extra money. Going to school can definitely be expensive, and you still have expenses to think about. I was on my way out of ICADE, a business school in Madrid when I saw the TEFL Madrid Academy across the street. I figured if I already spoke English, it might be a good idea to do a bit of English teaching while I study. When I walked into the academy, they were very happy to answer all of my questions. They kept the classes small (no more than five students per class, per month), and they were able to get me into a class over the summer. It cut into my vacation plans, but I would still have a lot of time to go to the beach afterwards. When I started my class, I met a couple of people from several places around the world. People were pretty shocked when they found out that I was Spanish, and not English. Still, they went into the technics of the English language, and we were doing Teacher Practice Sessions within a week. I thought it was very good because they get you doing everything that you need to do like managing a classroom, tailoring each class so that it helps people of all levels, eliciting answers from students, and concept-checking questions. Because I was born in Sevilla, I didn’t have to worry about getting registered, or getting on the padron. I already knew how it worked. In fact, I was even happy to help some of the other students familiarize themselves with how to get the residency, but I also like that the people at TE Madrid did the same thing, as well. I’m pretty sure that I would have to go through so many legal and logistic hurdles. I really liked how the staff at the TEFL Academy did their part to help some of the other students get registered and legal when it came to finding jobs and apartments. I was thinking about moving to the area, and accepting a Master’s Program at ICADE across the street. The academy was also helpful when it came to finding a job. Now, I’m pretty sure I could’ve found a job on my own, but what could I say? The people at TE Madrid did a little bit more to help their students, and I really thought that was good. After I got my TEFL Certification, I focused on finding students from the University I was attending. I told TE Madrid that I would probably look for students coming from these schools if they needed assistance. So, they even helped familiarize me with some of the exams that they prepare students for, and gave me a couple of students who were unable to physically make it into the classroom. I’m very lucky to be able to work in the area, study for my Master’s Degree, and help other students who are trying to find opportunities themselves is great. I was particularly happy that TE Madrid basically welcomed me into their family, and helped me set myself as a Private English Tutor while I continue to study across the street.

I was talking to a couple of people from Spain through a few online communities, and I was curious about going out there for the first time. There was a lot happening out there, and I asked myself how I could stay out there while these things were going on? I’m always keen on learning how to do certain things like travelling and hiking and surfing, so I naturally looked into it. My friends in Madrid told me that there was always a need for English Teachers in Spain, so he put me through to an academy that provides TEFL Certification that I could use when looking for a job. I know it’s not my actual desired job, but they helped me find something in the meantime, and it helped move things along. Now that I think about it, I was pretty excited about the idea of being in Spain, and I like that I was able to have a part of my career in this country. It’s fun country to be in, and fun to go around. When I got in, and started my course, I was pretty surprised to find out that I would be teaching within a week. That got me going, at least for the first few days. When I was hanging out with the group of other would-be teachers, we got to know each other to the point where presenting in front of each other was a lot easier than we thought it would be. Before I knew it, I had about six hours of teaching practice before the four-week program was finished. We learned more about the English language, we learned how it worked, and we had fun. I’m not one of these people who would want to continue a course unless I like it. It’s one of the reasons that I normally work in Web Development. It may not be a career that most people would want to pursue unless you like working in front of a computer screen. With teaching, if you have a problem standing in front of a group of people, and present, you may have a problem doing this job. At least, at first. The instructor that was teaching the course was a lot of fun to be around. He had music playing, we cracked jokes, we relaxed a bit more than I expected. We still had a lot of homework to do, but creating that fun environment was necessary, at least in my opinion. Of course, there was one other thing that I thought was great. The administrative staff did a lot to helping me get settled in Spain. They helped me with the Visa Process, and I don’t think I need to say how complicated it could be, so getting that helping hand in that area was unbelievably helpful. I’m not sure that there was much that TE Madrid didn’t do to help me getting my residency card. I wasn’t looking forward to figuring the whole thing out on my own, so I was pretty happy that that was one less thing in the list of things that I had to do. I simply had to focus on getting through the course, and then finding a job immediately afterwards. Everything from getting into the country, to doing the course, to preparing my documents for my residency card, and then getting a job afterwards – All of it was very easy, and I absolutely appreciate all the effort that the people at TE Madrid put in to help me make the move to Spain to become an English Teacher. I recommend them to everyone who’s interested in doing it themselves.

I always wanted to come back to Spain. My parents are from Valladolid, so I wanted to take this opportunity after I finished university in Vancouver to really experience life in my parent’s country (which of course, is also my country). When I showed them the Spanish Passport, they put me in touch with the right offices that would help me process my application for residency. I made sure that I did all of that before I started the course. I was probably in the country a good six weeks before the course started, and I made sure that I had all of my identification documents and passports in line so that I wouldn’t have to worry about everything. I don’t think I need to say that I became pretty popular when I started taking my course. Being able to speak Spanish and English at a native level is a very important thing, and I was hoping to be able to make both languages an effective career path, as I want to work in translating. When the course started, I was pretty happy that the course was fun and interactive, and gave me a lot of good practice with Spanish speakers. I don’t think that I need to tell you that once the class was over, they started speaking to me in Spanish. Again, this is why I became pretty popular when I went over there. It’s not common that a student is able to speak to their English teacher well enough. I got job offers in the last week of the course, and I was able to accept one of them from the time the course ended. I wasn’t surprised, given the fact that I already speak Spanish and English perfectly, and flashing my Spanish passport around was a very big help. Taking the TEFL Course, and getting some experience teaching English in Spain would be very helpful in pursuing my career in interpretation. I have a lot of business contacts who need translators and interpreters who work between both languages. I know that I had to learn a little bit of the technics of the English language in order to graduate. One of the challenges that I had to face when I was doing teaching practice during the course was the possibility of using Spanish. When they explained to me how to elicit a response, it became a lot easier. One thing that I was pretty surprised about was that TE Madrid didn’t need to be so helpful because I had my parents helping me in getting my residency requirements, and they helped me get set up in the city before the course started. They did help get my name and face known to a few companies in Madrid, and for someone who’s trying to get to know their own culture hands-on for the first time, they were very helpful in making that happen. To put it simply, I know how simple it is for me to come over to Spain. I’m pretty sure that there are many opportunities for me, and I like that it’s basically like a second home for me. I’m used to things in Vancouver, but being over in Madrid for as long as I was couldn’t have been easier, and I do have to thank TE Madrid for all the help that they gave me. I’ve wanted to make the move to Spain, and I’m definitely a happy student because they gave me a clear path to my desired career. I was excited to get started, and I’m working on creating interpretation services here in Madrid, so it gave me a lot to get started.

There are a lot of TEFL academies in Spain, so it was important for me to know that if I was going to do something like this, that I would find an academy that would help me every step of the way! I was probably looking at academies all over Spain for a couple of weeks before I came across TE Madrid. I made attempts to contact the other academies, but TE Madrid were happy to get in touch with me almost immediately after I made my request, and it was just easier to understand what the process is from this academy. Don’t get me wrong, the other options that I took a look at had their advantages, but staying in touch with them was pretty difficult. After thinking about it for a good period of time, I decided to put my deposit down to take my course with TE Madrid. They got me into the course, and they were even helpful enough to have someone pick me up from the airport and bring me to my apartment, which was pretty close to the academy itself. I didn’t think that there was an academy that would be so hospitable. Finally, it came down to doing the course itself. I was in the room with a couple of other people from England, and the teacher was Canadian. We all went pretty far to make sure that we were relaxed going into this. It was tense with those first few days, but after a while, we were basically sharing our life stories with each other, and helping each other with our teaching practice. Another thing that I like was that we would be teaching within that first week. It was daunting, but when our instructor told us about his own experience, it made standing in front of a classroom a lot easier. That’s the great thing about TE Madrid. The class was intense, and the whole experience made me very nervous, but they did a lot to keep me nice and relaxed for the four weeks I was doing the course, and I think it’s important, especially when they want to be able to send good teachers out there to work hard. It’s a difficult thing to leave home, but what they do made me feel better about it. Another thing that I really liked about this was how the staff at the academy helped me get my residency application process going from when I started taking the class. It was an indication that Spain really appreciates the breadth of English Teachers who decide to make Spain their home. I thought it was going to be difficult now that the United Kingdom is outside the European Union, but they helped me book my appointment, and told me exactly what it is I needed to bring in order to get approved for a residency card. After four weeks, a lot of teaching practice, and my residency application officially on wheels, I had my C.V. typed up, and sent it out to academies all over the country. I was pretty happy to say that I had my first job offer within a week after finishing my course, and then I made my way down to Cordoba to start working. It’s been a wonderful experience so far, and I’m glad that I made the move. I want to thank everyone at TE Madrid for their part in helping me make the move from England to Spain. I want to thank Jordan for the amazing course that he ran, and I also want to thank the receptionist and support staff for what they did in helping me get a job. I absolutely appreciate it!

I loved working out of the TEFL Academy in Madrid. From the moment I arrived, I knew that I was in good hands. The people who worked there, the students I worked with, and the practice that I received were all indications that I would be well-prepared to becoming an English Teacher in Spain! As soon as I finished my course, the job process was pretty simple. The staff over there were very happy to send my C.V. out to schools in the area to make sure that I wouldn’t, in fact, commute too far to my job, and they were also happy enough to stay in touch with me while I was looking for a job on my own. I didn’t feel like I was alone. A lot of people might be hesitant when it comes to coming out to Spain to look for a job. I humbly say to everyone, “Don’t!” It’s a lot easier than you think it is, and you’ll be in for the experience of a lifetime when you do come out here. Needless to say, I’m not a citizen of Spain, and I don’t have any family out here, so the Visa Process might be something that will prevent you from making that decision. It could be a very time-consuming thing. Andreea at the main desk was happy to help with any problems you may have concerning the Visa Process, and the Residency application. Those two things are very important to being able to stay in Spain long-term. Another thing that I really like was the fact you were definitely treated like a part of the family. TE Madrid is a pretty small school, with a couple of teachers who work there full-time. I went out with the teacher, and a couple of the students a few times while I was doing my four-week program, and I can honestly say that the course felt more like an experience than it did a course itself. Don’t get me wrong, there was a lot of work that needed to be done, and it was pretty intensive, but being able to hang out with the other students in the program (and the teacher himself, by the way) was something that really made the whole thing a lot more relaxing than I ever thought that it could be. To be honest, I didn’t really think too much about the course load, and it felt easier because of the tight-knit group of people I was studying with. We worked together, and we had fun together. We all took trips together, and we got to know an amazing city. It was a wonderful experience. I also liked that as soon as I was finished completing my TEFL Course, and walked out of there with my TEFL Certification, it wasn’t too long after I started sending my C.V. out to schools that I got a job offer. Again, this was something that I absolutely did not expect. The TEFL Academy in Madrid did everything they were supposed to, and a lot more when it came to helping me get started in Spain. I absolutely commend them for the job that they do with everyone who goes through there. So, should you do this? I absolutely think that you should do this if you’re serious about Teaching English in Spain! The staff is helpful and kind. You’re working with a group of people who are in the same situation as you, and you’ll be able to get the practice and experience that you need to be able to find a job after the course! Go to TE Madrid!

I love this course and TEFL Madrid. I am extraordinarily happy I came across those reviews. Everything positive I had read turned out to be true. The staff was professional and knowledgeable; the teaching environment was serious, relaxed and friendly. Ultimately, I learned more than I could have hoped for about what it is to be a productive teacher of English as a second language. It’s certainly a difficult thing to take that first step out your door. You don’t know where life will take you, or how it will treat you. When people take their TEFL Course here in Madrid, the first thing that they experience is that they’re in a classroom with other people who are in the same position as you. I think that’s very important to me. I know that I don’t particularly like to do certain things believing that I’m alone in doing them. With regards to community relations, having a similar routine even in another language still has its charm, and it’s one of those things that makes me feel welcome as a Teacher living in Madrid. I like it.

I have just ended my full time TEFL experience with TEFL Madrid and I've been delighted with the results. I enjoyed the teaching practice the most, because you have the opportunity to see what it's like to teach real (Spanish or international) students. Like they say, the more you teach, the more you learn! The grammar revision always comes in handy because it gives you the proper awareness on how the English language actually works (and, if you're a grammar freak like myself, you'll definitely enjoy the grammar revision part). And last but not least, I loved the feeling that I could always count on the staff's availability for answers to any question I might have had.

The one month TEFL Madrid course was a great experience that opened many doors for me here in Madrid. I moved to Madrid after finishing my degree in the United States, and TEFL Madrid provided invaluable skills and training that I needed to hit the ground running and thrive in this city as I settled in. The courses were really fun and informative, but most importantly they provided REAL teaching experience with REAL students from day one. I can't overstate how helpful this was in building confidence in my abilities and developing my skills as a teacher.
Highlight the job placement service. No other school can guarantee a job, they do, because they own English Academies in Madrid. This immersive experience paired with the supportive and constructive feedback from the teacher trainers, Jordan and Maria, fully prepared me to go out into the world and teach people to speak English.

I arrived here not knowing anyone, being 59 years old was a bit intimidating but it soon felt like home. TEFL Madrid was different from what I expected. I’ve had the greatest experience ever and made the best friends a person could have. All the teachers are AMAZING! They really care and are here to help you succeed. The school is in a nice location, down town in Madrid. Good team both, teachers and administration. Helpful + full energy. A lot of fun. Regarding the classes, I was in a small group so everyone got much attention. The teacher was professional and a nice guy. Every day it is possible to participate in activities about culture, food, etc.

If you are looking for a great space where professionals can guide you and help you learn while having fun, this is your place. It is a lovely and cosy academy with a great team at the heart of Madrid for either learn English or get your certificate as a TEFL teacher. TEFL Madrid helped me settle into Spain and provided an excellent course to prepare me for being a teacher and the most important, I got many job offers by the time I completed the course. I highly recommend the school to anyone considering doing their TEFL. They are the only ones to 100 % guarantee job placement. They really get the job done!

This course and everyone in it made this one of the best decisions I've ever made. I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but I knew that I'd be in good company after meeting Jordan and Andreea, so I felt more secure about investing at TEFL Madrid. Everyone there is so knowledgeable about so much which also comforted me as an expat trying to figure everything out. The course has taught me so much, from different teaching skills to incredible resources and ideas. Having so much practice time teaching is crucial and here at TE Madrid you definitely get that. The feedback you receive after each session further improves your insight in regard to your strengths and weaknesses and the teachers are very helpful in helping address these. I feel extremely supported and prepared moving forward. It's a challenging and time- consuming course, so I couldn't be happier I got to take it with the kindest and most enjoyable people possible :) Thank you to everyone who made this experience so rewarding and fun, I will always be so grateful.

My boyfriend and I decided to both quit our awesome job in the States to teach English abroad in Spain. It was a huge decision for us. We spoke to a lot of different schools and chose TEFL Madrid. They answered all our many questions, made us feel very comfortable with the move, and helped us along the way. The course was awesome…great teachers and a whole lot of learning. The support from TEFL Madrid continues after you leave and it feels like a little family here in Spain. Thanks again to all the instructors and staff at TEFL Madrid for making the month of August such a memorable experience, as well as the continued help and support post-graduation!

I was very nervous to make the move from California to Madrid but TEFL Madrid made everything so easy. From the minute I signed up to now, when I am living in Madrid teaching English, the employees at TEFL Madrid have helped me every step of the way. It seems as if there is an endless amount of paperwork needed to be able to live and work in a new country and I never would have been able to do it without their help! They really go above and beyond to make sure you are set up. In addition to this, the TEFL course itself was a perfect balance of hard work and fun. They have the course structured in such an effective and efficient way, you can see that it has been perfected over time. Overall an amazing experience and I highly recommend TEFL Madrid to anyone looking to learn how to teach English!

Love this course! I would fully recommend this course (in fact I already have done)! I learnt hundreds of useful lesson ideas, brushed up on grammar, got loads of real teaching practice, had a great time.. and I couldn't believe how easy it made finding a job, afterwards! Had such a great time and Jordon really helped me prepare to become an English teacher!! Very good value for money and gives you exactly what you need to start a teaching career in Madrid. Would highly recommend! TEFL Madrid is great

I enjoyed and learned so much about myself and my own language doing the course at the TEFL Madrid Academy. Jordan was brilliant, not only did he teach us the skills that are necessary for us to become a good teacher but also put us in the deep end and that definitely helped myself to grow. If anyone is thinking about coming to Spain to gain their tefl to teach, then this is the place for you. The tutors and staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, and although the course is intense, they help you through all the way. Plus, living in Madrid whilst you're doing the course is a great experience. They also offer great career guidance after you finish!

Jordon was an amazing teacher. It was an intensive course but I left it as a certified teacher with a lot of experience in the classroom. It was a great program, everyone was welcoming and helpful with answering all of my questions. TEFL Madrid was a wonderful experience ever since I applied to the course. I was offered help with finding a place to stay in Madrid and getting everything settled in. The course was definitely challenging, but in a good way. TEFL Madrid offered me a job my first week of the course. Definitely recommend.

I recently completed the month-long certification course at TEFL Madrid. Based on reviews, I was expecting a strong program but the reality was much better. The course is dense and fast-paced but efficiently taught. The feedback from the instructor is specific and applicable. The administration is also very supportive and helpful with visas & the day-to-day issues of getting set up in Madrid. I am now in the midst of the Developing Teacher program and continue to be pleased with the instruction and facilitation of the course
 Really recommend, very friendly staff and I learnt so much in a short space of time. Very happy with the lessons and experience that I gained.
 Maria was a great teacher and so knowledgeable, thank you

I completed the 2 week intensive teacher training course at TEFL Madrid in December and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience. All of the trainers there were extremely supportive, enthusiastic, and dedicated to assisting us throughout the program. They not only helped us with our coursework, but also with preparing our CVs, finding job opportunities, preparing for job interviews, and adjusting to life in Madrid in general. Even now, after I have completed the course, I still communicate regularly with the trainers and staff there and they continue to help me in any way they can. I would definitely recommend this program!

The best TEFL academy in Spain!!! the whole team is amazing and the course is great. I feel way more confident after my 120 hour course. I have previously visited Spain in the past. My first time I was in Barcelona and this time I visited Madrid, what a great experience!! Way better than Barcelona, safer and people from Madrid is way friendlier. They did a great job overall, since the first day I step into the academy they helped me out with everything: housing, legal advise, bank and the most important, they got me a job before I even finished the classes. I strongly recommend them.

If you're looking for a TEFL course, look no further. This is honestly the best program out there. The team is comprised of individuals that are passionate about what they do and truly care about each student. At TEFL Madrid you will get the support and encouragement you need to thrive in every stage of your TEFL journey. They are also so incredibly aware of the challenges of moving to a new country. I have moved across continents enough times to know how daunting the process can be and it is so inspiring and comforting to know that a place like TEFL Madrid exists where such a solid support system is available. And it doesn't end once you finish the course! I am absolutely delighted to be a part of the TEFL Madrid alumni family and so thrilled to have found a community whose core values and vision align so closely with my own.

Amazing course! Amazing teachers, great facilities, and solid content all adding up to one awesome (and intense) month of certification. I chose TEFL Madrid because they guaranteed job interviews and job placement. I was very skeptical and scare at the beginning. They did a great job and I would't recommend anyone else.

I received my TEFL certification last week in Madrid, Spain. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone who is looking to become TEFL Certified. It was a very neat experience to have classmates from all over the world, and to come together under this one common goal and passion for teaching. Our teacher, Jordon, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He taught us how to feel comfortable and confident when teaching a new language to new people. Andrea, at the front, has also been very helpful throughout the process. With the help of the staff and my classmates, I was able to become equipped with the necessary tools to become a teacher in Madrid, Spain.

I would so highly recommend doing your TEFL course with TEFL Madrid if you are looking to move overseas and teach English. Excellent course. Highly recommended to learn how to become an efficient English teacher. Be aware though that the course is INTENSIVE, and that you may not be able to have time to think about anything else besides the course for 4 weeks. TEFL Madrid has still been amazingly helpful- checking in to make sure everything is going smoothly and asking about my work in Spain. I felt personally taken care of during the entire process- all of my questions were answered

Just finished my course at the academy. Was a great experience. Jordon was an amazing teacher who made the experience fun and enjoyable which I have never been able to say about being in a classroom before! The course fully prepares you not only to teach and be super confident in doing so, but they provide extensive help with things like job hunting, setting up bank accounts and the endless paperwork required in Spain!

I did the course in December 2020 and what a great experience it was!! 100% job placement!! they do what other TEFL schools can't do, they offered me a job as soon as I graduated. The course was well planned out and the teachers were amazing!! Get ready to learn a wide range of new skills in only one month.

A year ago I decided to change my life and move to Spain, I got my TEFL certification with this academy and since then everything turned down to be better than expected! They have an excellent academic program and a very good teacher who shares all the tools that you need in order to become a great teacher. Also, the whole staff is a group of very nice people who are always willing to help. I left that place feeling more than prepared to face the word as an English teacher. If you are thinking of doing it, just do it! you won't regret!!

Fun and full of energy! This academy is not what I was expecting when I signed up to the TEFL course, but it is what you get. The energy and laughter throughout this course make the work worthwhile...my experience of the course has been very positive. TEFL Madrid offer a really cool TEFL program in Madrid for anyone that would want to explore more of Europe instead of places like España. The program lasts 4 weeks and has the support to lead to full time employment as an English teacher in Madrid or elsewhere in Europe. Check it out!
