I did my TEFL training with Maria in July of 2012. Maria is one of the best teachers I have ever had, and I was inspired by her patience and willingness to share every bit of her knowledge with us. I've been teaching for four years now, and her example is still one that I look to as a goal! The school, the students, and the program as a whole were the perfect blend of adventure and instruction for me and I'm so happy that I did my TEFL program here. I'm still in contact with Maria and have been back to visit her since I graduated!

Getting my TEFL certification through Via Lingua in Crete was a great experience. I took the course in July/August of 2016 and learned and improved so much in the time of the course. Maria is an incredible teacher, engages her students and is truly passionate about teaching. The instructors gave detailed advice after each lesson and we're always willing to help with any questions!

Aside from asking my fiancée to marry me :) The fact is, my decision to go to Crete and participate in the Via Lingua TEFL certification course changed my life's trajectory, and every significant life event thereafter can in some way be traced back to my decision to take this course. That includes meeting my fiancée in London while working in international education -- a field I got into by way of my TEFL experience! Maria, the head teacher and program manager, is a wonderful, warm, kind, brilliant, and inspirational human being. She made me so excited to teach English abroad. She went above and beyond in connecting me with a previous course graduate who in turn helped me get my awesome teaching job in Istanbul. Chania is a perfectly beautiful little Cretan city. The beaches, people, food, and nightlife were amazing. It's a place that will always hold a special place in my heart. I would recommend this course a million times over. Do it. Let it change your life like it changed mine.
