This program was a great experience but you had to be ready to go with the flow. When we showed up we barely had addresses where our class was but once we found it and got settled it was awesome. The class was intense since I did the summer camp program, we were in school all day for 2 weeks but it was worth it to be able to be teaching just a few days later! They helped with everything getting set up at the summer camps and we were all guaranteed jobs which was great and helped build confidence as a teacher. Plus our teacher was hilarious, I would definitely recommend this!

Alumni Interviews
Meet Mike Kunik, TEFL Institute graduate-Madrid
GO: Why did you elect to take this TEFL course with TEFL Institute in Spain?
Mike: My wife and I decided to take the course in Madrid, Spain because it gave us an opportunity to adapt to a new culture, find work, and make friends while taking the course at the same time. This really enabled us to be completely settled in by the time that first day of class came around. Not to mention, our course started towards the end of the fall hiring season, so we didn't want to miss any opportunities because we weren't in the country yet.
GO: What was the most important lesson this course taught you?
Mike: All of the strategies we worked on (lesson planning, classroom management, teaching children, teaching adults, etc.) were very helpful, but what I felt was most important was the work we did with grammar. Basically this course made me aware of how rusty my grammatical skills had become, and it made me realize how dedicated I was going to have to be in order to become an effective English teacher. This made my transition into the classroom much easier than it would have been otherwise.
GO: Do you feel this TEFL course adequately prepared you to teach English abroad?
Mike: I honestly think this course was very beneficial for me as a new TEFL teacher who was living abroad for the first time. As I said earlier, the strategies that we were exposed to in our course were very helpful, but we most benefited from this course by the way it made us understand that in order to be a great teacher you need to constantly grow. If you are in tune with the needs of your students, and care about your responsibilities, this growth will happen organically. It's a wonderful feeling to see your students improve as you do.

During the summer of 2010, I traveled to Madrid, Spain for the TEFL program. I spent the first month with about 20 other students taking the "Teaching English" course 5 hours each day. We had a great intimate group and learned a lot from each others various past experiences teaching, living abroad, etc. We provided resumes to the various camps and were divided based on our abilities & experiences. After this month, we went all together to do practicum and worked directly with a large group of students at a camp in Leon for roughly two weeks. After Leon, our group went our separate ways to the camps we worked in for the rest of summer.
My specific camp was in Catalunya and the camp directors required English teachers that spoke Spanish. I traveled with four other American girls to the camp. Upon my arrival, we were greeted by the head camp director. We were given our assignments the next day and worked for the camp daily for the entire month of July. I am very pleased with my experiences through TEFL and I would recommend it to anyone willing to step outside their comfort zone. Some days were more difficult than others BUT overall, I enjoyed meeting new people, learning a new culture, and practicing my Spanish. At times, it was difficult because the Spanish culture is very relaxed and sometimes seemed unorganized but I found to love Spain for that in the end. I'd encourage you to go abroad and experience this wonderful opportunity!!
