As I sit down to reflect on my journey through the TEFL course in Bali, there's one person who shines like a beacon of inspiration in my memories: Georgie. To say that she's an incredible trainer would be an understatement. Georgie isn't just someone who taught me the ropes of teaching English; she became a guiding light, a mentor, and a friend.
From the moment I met Georgie, her dedication to her craft was incredible. She approached every aspect of the course with unwavering commitment, a trait that immediately inspired confidence in me as a trainee. Her hard work was evident in every lesson, every activity, and every word of advice she offered.
What struck me most about Georgie was her genuine passion for teaching. It wasn't just a job for her; it was a calling. This passion infused every session with energy and excitement, making learning not just informative, but downright enjoyable. Georgie's ability to integrate games and fun activities into our training sessions not only made the content more accessible, but also demonstrated her creativity and innovation as an educator.
One of the biggest challenges I faced during the course was learning to teach different age groups. This is where Georgie truly excelled as a trainer. She didn't just provide us with theoretical knowledge; she guided us through practical exercises that prepared us for the diverse classrooms we would encounter in our teaching careers. Her insights and strategies were invaluable, and I emerged from the course feeling confident and equipped to handle any group of students.
But Georgie's impact went beyond just teaching techniques. She mentored us in ways that extended far beyond the classroom. She took the time to understand each trainee's strengths, weaknesses, and individual learning styles, tailoring her guidance to suit our needs. Her personalized approach made me feel seen, valued, and supported every step of the way.
Georgie wasn't just a trainer; she was a source of inspiration and motivation. Her enthusiasm was infectious, her encouragement unwavering, and her belief in our potential unwavering. She didn't just teach us how to be better educators; she showed us what it means to be passionate, compassionate, and dedicated human beings.
In conclusion, I can say with absolute sincerity that Georgie is more than just a trainer; she's a mentor, a role model, and a friend. Her impact on my life and my teaching career is immeasurable, and I will be forever grateful for the time I spent under her guidance. If you're considering embarking on a TEFL journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Georgie as your guide. You won't just learn how to teach; you'll learn how to inspire, motivate, and make a difference in the lives of others.
What was your funniest moment?
Baby we were fireworks, come on let your colors burst!! (sing-along-car-drives)
One of the most memorable and uproarious experiences during our TEFL course in Bali was undoubtedly the car rides with Georgie, our dedicated trainer, as we made our way to various teaching locations like Prama Hotel and local schools. Picture this: JD, Matt, Aoife, Ciara, Tahrene, and Georgie all packed into a car, bursting with energy and anticipation for the day ahead. Our journeys were anything but boring. Instead, they were filled with offbeat conversations, sing-alongs (Katy Perry baby, we are never ever ever getting back together), and bouts of uncontrollable laughter that left our stomachs aching. We delved into discussions about everything under the sun, from food to music to the age-old debate of whether Georgie's hair should be kept together or let loose. These car rides weren't just a means of transportation; they were moments of complete silliness and pure joy that bonded us as a group and added an extra layer of magic to our TEFL experience.
