My Remarkable TtMadrid Experience!

Jun 4, 2025

I recently completed the intensive 2-week TEFL training course at TtMadrid, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a future in teaching English. It’s a decision you won’t regret! The course was truly intensive—both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking—but it delivered exactly what I needed to unlock my potential and refine my skills. The quality of instruction was exceptional. I gained so much from Andrea and Katie, who were highly professional, warm, approachable, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire journey. They were my source of inspiration! The entire TtMadrid team was equally welcoming and genuinely supportive. At first, the idea of teaching six classes in just two weeks felt daunting—but I did it! And more importantly, it was essential for my growth and development as a new teacher. TtMadrid guided us in preparing for each lesson and provided constructive, practical feedback every step of the way. Each teaching experience built my confidence and reinforced my commitment to this path. TtMadrid are true experts in the field. They understand exactly what it takes to shape someone into a capable, professional English teacher. Plus, with their job assistance support, you’ll be well-positioned to use your TEFL certificate anywhere in the world. I strongly endorse this program for aspiring English teachers!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
During the course, we had observed teaching practices scheduled in the afternoon. However, in the morning, we were expected to present our lesson plan schematics for the next day's teaching practice. This was particularly stressful because we had to think about two different lesson plans at the same time, each tailored to a different student level. It was also nerve-wracking not knowing how many students would actually show up or much about their profiles. We only knew the general level of the class. I was genuinely worried that the students might not follow my lesson, and that uncertainty added pressure. On top of that, we were being observed by both our trainer and our peers, which made me even more conscious of managing time well, using correct grammar, and keeping the students engaged—all at once.
Despite the pressure, I overcame those fears by working hard and coming well-prepared, even if it meant sacrificing a few hours of sleep. In the end, it was definitely worth it—especially when I saw that the students were receptive and told me they enjoyed my class. That feeling made all the effort worthwhile.
Pros
  • Strong guidance and resources – We were given clear tools and support to help us succeed in both planning and delivering lessons.
  • Supportive trainers – During the lesson plan schematic discussions, the trainers were approachable and helpful. They provided constructive feedback that helped me improve the structure and flow of my lessons.
  • Insightful feedback sessions – After each teaching practice, we received detailed feedback. These sessions were extremely valuable for identifying areas of improvement and building confidence for the next lesson.
What other participants should know
  • The training was intensive and fast-paced – While effective, the short duration made it demanding to absorb everything at once.
  • Timing of support sessions - Sessions regarding tips about living in Madrid (i.e. banking, where to eat etc) should be left in the first day and the support for CV building should be left on the last day.

TT Madrid - Outstanding TEFL Course

Jun 2, 2025

From the 10 weeks online to the 2 weeks in person, I always felt like I was in good hands. The environment was welcoming, friendly, and motivating. A perfect balance of professionalism and encouragement. Special shoutout to Charlie, who was an absolute star when it came to answering all my weird and wonderful questions about visa requirements and moving to Spain. Her support made the process so much smoother! And of course, a huge thank you to Andrea and Katie, who were fantastic teachers. Their feedback was always insightful and constructive, and they’ve truly helped set me up for success as an English teacher in Madrid. Another big thank you to Eriona and Hector for also providing amazing feedback and solutions on how I can make my classes better and giving me hints and tips to give the best learning experience to my students in the future. If you're thinking about taking the leap into teaching abroad, TT Madrid is the place to start. I’m now feeling confident, prepared, and excited for what’s next!

Why did you decide to get TEFL certified with TtMadrid in Spain?

The idea of getting a TEFL certificate started after having briefly worked as a teaching assistant. I realized that I enjoy teaching very, very much and wanted to go into teaching. So I did some searching here and there to get some ideas about TEFL courses.

One day, I stumbled across few reviews written by previous students who did their TEFL course with TtMadrid in Spain. I have always wanted to visit Spain, so I thought why not give it a try. I had gone through most of the details on the official website but I was still undecided. So I contacted the advisor named Helen at the chat box available on the right corner of the page. She was knowledgeable about the course and happily answered my questions.

After given some thoughts to it, I was keen to sign up for the course. A brief Skype interview was conducted, I was reassured that the TEFL course is accredited and taught in a high quality standard. Their services were praiseworthy and I was positive that I made the right choice. Despite the fact that I was only allowed to visit Spain on a tourist visa. Yet, TtMadrid was more than happy to welcome me into the course. That is why, I was happy to go with TtMadrid to get my TEFL in Spain.

What stood out to you most about your TEFL course with TtMadrid?

There were a lot of things that exceeded my expectations. So this is rather difficult for me to pick one. But if I had to choose one, I would have to say hands down to the energetic and supportive teaching team at TtMadrid!

The teachers spontaneously delivered the class from start till end with such great energy. I was moved and inspired by their teaching styles. The team not only helped me to overcome my struggles with grammars and phonetics. But also, given me lots of encouragement that made me more determined to complete the course with flying colours.

After they observed my teaching sessions, the teaching feedback given by them were super useful. They pointed the areas of my strengths and weaknesses, also some tips for better improvement. This motivated me to put in extra efforts to improve and improvise on my lesson plan for the next teaching session.

More importantly, I stayed positive and learned from my mistakes as well. These experiences have been most helpful for my teaching practices. At the end of the day, I mustered up the courage to come out of my shell. Again, many, many thanks to the awesome team at TtMadrid!

How has this experience impacted your future? (Personally, professionally, academically, etc.)

After having completed the course, I find myself overwhelmed by many, many positive impacts. The course has given me the gentle push in obtaining the knowledge and skills that I need. The training has equipped me to handle a teaching job. In the process of it, I have gained some new insights and understand more about a teacher's role in the competitive job market.

My previous experience as a teaching assistant did help a little, where I managed to keep calm when teaching a new class. But I soon realized that the actual effort required was in fact, ten times more than what I had imagined. From preparing lesson plans to classroom management to creating a student focused classes. A teaching career that I considered demanding yet achievable. I was glad that I was able to experience many challenges in order to brush up my skills during my teaching practices.

The most noticeable change was that I came out from my shell. Before this, I was pretty shy. The day where I carried out the class with such positive and high energy was absolutely remarkable. It surprised my teachers as much as it surprised me.

The teachers and students at TtMadrid have both shed some light in my teaching approach. I am thankful to have learned so much from them as they had learned from me. This experience has definitely left a strong and positive impression on me that helped me to become more open to challenges and self-motivated.

What is one piece of advice you would offer someone considering a TEFL course in Spain?

My simple advice for you is to find out as much information as you can about the course beforehand. Take some time to think through the simple questions, whether this course is suitable for you, why you are interested in teaching and if you ready to live in a foreign country.

It sounds simple enough but I highly recommend that you put this into consideration before you get ahead of yourself, whether you are here for a short visit or long-term stay in Spain. After you have finally made up your mind, I would say get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!

The day I realized I have a passion for teaching, I knew I want to go into teaching. At the same time, I wanted something different for a change in my life. I always wanted to visit Spain and I knew it was time to make a move. I took some time to think this through. After some careful consideration, I decided to get my TEFL in Spain and had no doubts about it. The course proved to be intensive and challenging for most people, including myself. As long as you stay focused and determined, you will definitely cross the finish line.

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favourite travel memory is from when I visited Japan. It's an incredible country that has so much to offer, from futuristic skyscrapers to quiet bamboo forests, amazing food culture and very respectful people.

Two places stood out the most for me during our two weeks stay there. The first one is the Kinkakuji Temple, literally ‘’Temple of the Golden Pavilion’’, a Zen Buddist temple in Kyoto. Part of the World Heritage Site, the temple, dating from the Muromachi period, is located in a Japanese Zen garden. It is covered in gold leaf and it is surrounded by water so the temple is mirrored in the pond and gives the impression that it floats on the water.

Another amazing place is Todaiji temple, located in Nara. Todaiji's main hall is the largest wooden construction in the world and it hosts one of Japan's largest bronze statue of Buddha, but the interesting thing there is a pillar with a hole at its base, that is the same size as the bronze Buddha’s nostril. It is said that whoever can squeeze through, it will be granted luck and joy in their next life. I'm happy to say that we were lucky enough to fit!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Working with and training people from so many different cultures and backgrounds has made me more patient and flexible. It's fascinating to take a step back and see situations from another point of view. Working in such an international environment allows me to do that and grow as a person with each and every new course.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

We welcome both native and non-natives trainees onto our course and my favorite story from a student was from a non-native who was passionate about teaching children and loved travelling. She was an amazing teacher and her hard work paid off when she was offered a position at an international academy running camps around the UK. She absolutely loves it and I'm really proud to see that she's using all the tools, techniques and skills she learned during the course.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

All of the trainers at TtMadrid have done the TEFL course - it's really important for us to understand what our trainees are going through every step of the way.

I loved the TEFL course and it really help boost my confidence and learn what it was to not just speak English but to teach it. Being a non-native English speaker, completing the course also helped me believe in myself and gave me the gold 'TtMadrid stamp of approval' with employers in Spain.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

TtMadrid has been in the ESL training sector for over 10 years and what makes the company special is the love and passion we have for teaching and helping students to make the transition into living and working in Spain.

I couldn’t say that there was a specific moment when I felt proud of my team. It happens at the end of each course, when we read our students’ feedback, have a look at the final grading sheet and look at this new group of English teachers that are stepping out into the world of ESL teaching, having been through the TtMadrid experience. It's a great feeling to know you're a part of something so special.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I believe that we have been leading the TEFL training market in Spain for all these years because we really do go that extra mile. Giving those extra five minutes of explanation, walking the long way home to show a student the nearest metro stop, or just grabbing a coffee with someone that is having a bad day; every moment matters and it really makes a difference.
