TEFL Worldwide Prague

I'm very happy with my experience at TEFL Worldwide Prague. All of the instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful and I still have relationships with them now, months after the course. I know I could have taken a TEFL course online for less money, but there is no way that would have prepared me to walk into a real classroom like this course did. Honestly, I think the most important thing for me was the friends that I have made via this TEFL course, whether is was my classmates, alumni, or new grads that I've met since my course. Moving to a new country alone can be tough and it was great to have others around me that were in the same boat! Would definitely recommend!

This program is very intensive, but what you get out of it is so rewarding! You get to work with real students and get feedback as soon as you get done teaching. It was so nice to learn from the people who are actually in the field and giving you their advice while you learn. The teachers are great and are there to help even after you graduate from the program. While there you form bonds with your classmates and even with past graduates that have stayed in Prague. You will have classes Monday-Friday from 9-6 and after 6 you work on your lesson plan that you will teach the next day. You do have weekends open, but you will most likely want to sleep in or work on some class projects coming up for the next week. The long hours are worth it though. To see your students laughing and enjoying your lesson while also understanding what they are learning is a rewarding feeling. The teachers and director are great to stay in touch with as well because of the connections they have. Even if you don't want to stay in Prague there are so many past graduates from the program that have left and are teaching in other countries you could be connected to.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole training - it was an intense month, yet it taught me an incredible amount of skills that I am now using with my own students. The tutors provided us with many valuable resources, practical tips and though there were many things to learn, they made learning fun and enjoyable! There was also a meeting focused on getting a job, obtaining the Czech business license or the working visa in case you are from overseas. I appreciate the approach and would happily enroll again! I received my first job offers shortly after graduating and have been enjoying my teaching adventure ever since.

I’ll start off by saying that no amount of hours in any teaching course will fully prepare you for the first time you step in front of a class. It takes a long time to find your comfort zone when teaching english.
That being said, the TEFL Worldwide program in Prague is really a great program if you’re interested in teaching abroad. What I mentioned above was told to us by many of our instructors; each of them were very in tune with the realities of teaching, each seasoned veterans that really prepared us for what to expect when we began teaching. Whether you have prior teaching skills or you’re new to the game, you’ll walk away from this course feeling much more confident and better equipped to start teaching.
Each of the modules were very in-depth, and I won’t lie: It’s a lot of work. Obviously the first thing you’ll want to do when you get to Prague is explore the city. And explore it you must. Whether you’re planning to stay or just stopping through for the month, it truly is a magical place that sucks you in immediately. But, you’ll find a lot of your free time chewed up by work for the course. It’s not hard by any means, but more so time-consuming.
The best part of the course was the practical experience you gain throughout it. You teach actual Czech students 6 times over the course of the 4 weeks. It’s very nerve-wracking, but the instructors each give great feedback that allows you yourself to slowly start to notice improvements in each successive lesson. Not only that, these practice lessons give you a good glimpse into what it’s like to teach specifically Czech people.
What really makes the course as a whole are those you go through it with. Your class makeup will really define the overall vibe of the day-day activities. The instructors provide a great work and learning environment that favors genuine friendships with your fellow Teflers. I was lucky, our class became really close over the course of the month and we’re all still good friends. It’s sort of a “shared struggle” bond that you develop together.
Enroll in TEFL Worldwide if you want to travel abroad and teach. And if you’re thinking about doing the course for the month in Prague and then moving somewhere else with your degree (which is totally possible, the degree is internationally recognized), I wish you good luck in trying to leave Prague. Once you’re here you will fall in love with this place.

There are so many reasons why anyone should apply for this program. First, it is a direct path to getting to live practically anywhere you want in the world. Secondly, you get to spend the month in Prague, an absolutely amazing city. But more seriously, this program actually prepares you to teach English- it is intense, and at times trying, but it is so so worth it. The support you get from the trainers is truly a godsend, and they actually care about your success. Not to mention the connections you make with your fellow TEFLers, which will quickly make this strange new city feel like home. If you’re thinking about it… Just go for it!
