TEFL certified in Spain

This course and everyone in it made this one of the best decisions I've ever made. I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but I knew that I'd be in good company after meeting Jordan and Andreea, so I felt more secure about investing at TEFL Madrid. Everyone there is so knowledgeable about so much which also comforted me as an expat trying to figure everything out. The course has taught me so much, from different teaching skills to incredible resources and ideas. Having so much practice time teaching is crucial and here at TE Madrid you definitely get that. The feedback you receive after each session further improves your insight in regard to your strengths and weaknesses and the teachers are very helpful in helping address these. I feel extremely supported and prepared moving forward. It's a challenging and time- consuming course, so I couldn't be happier I got to take it with the kindest and most enjoyable people possible :) Thank you to everyone who made this experience so rewarding and fun, I will always be so grateful.

TEFL course for all ages

I arrived here not knowing anyone, being 59 years old was a bit intimidating but it soon felt like home. TEFL Madrid was different from what I expected. I’ve had the greatest experience ever and made the best friends a person could have. All the teachers are AMAZING! They really care and are here to help you succeed.
The school is in a nice location, down town in Madrid. Good team both, teachers and administration. Helpful + full energy. A lot of fun. Regarding the classes, I was in a small group so everyone got much attention. The teacher was professional and a nice guy. Every day it is possible to participate in activities about culture, food, etc.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be prepared though...they call it intensive for a reason. Cancel your weekend plans when you´re there!

TEFL Madrid helped me settle into Spain

If you are looking for a great space where professionals can guide you and help you learn while having fun, this is your place. It is a lovely and cosy academy with a great team at the heart of Madrid for either learn English or get your certificate as a TEFL teacher.

TEFL Madrid helped me settle into Spain and provided an excellent course to prepare me for being a teacher and the most important, I got many job offers by the time I completed the course.

I highly recommend the school to anyone considering doing their TEFL. They are the only ones to 100 % guarantee job placement.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Getting many job offers while I was doing the TEFL program and getting a job within 3 weeks.
They really get the job done!

TEFL Family in Spain

My boyfriend and I decided to both quit our awesome job in the States to teach English abroad in Spain. It was a huge decision for us. We spoke to a lot of different schools and chose TEFL Madrid. They answered all our many questions, made us feel very comfortable with the move, and helped us along the way. The course was awesome…great teachers and a whole lot of learning. The support from TEFL Madrid continues after you leave and it feels like a little family here in Spain.

Thanks again to all the instructors and staff at TEFL Madrid for making the month of August such a memorable experience, as well as the continued help and support post-graduation!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
A siesta is a pretty big deal in Spain… and rightly so! Usually, around 1-4pm, many shops, offices and restaurants will shut their doors for a little afternoon kip.

TE Madrid

I was very nervous to make the move from California to Madrid but TEFL Madrid made everything so easy. From the minute I signed up to now, when I am living in Madrid teaching English, the employees at TEFL Madrid have helped me every step of the way. It seems as if there is an endless amount of paperwork needed to be able to live and work in a new country and I never would have been able to do it without their help! They really go above and beyond to make sure you are set up. In addition to this, the TEFL course itself was a perfect balance of hard work and fun. They have the course structured in such an effective and efficient way, you can see that it has been perfected over time. Overall an amazing experience and I highly recommend TEFL Madrid to anyone looking to learn how to teach English!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Despite the diversity, a few rules hold true, no matter where in Spain you’re planning on visiting and indeed, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first or tenth visit, Spain always manages to find brilliant ways to surprise and impress you

100℅ Teaching job guarantee

Jordon was an amazing teacher. It was an intensive course but I left it as a certified teacher with a lot of experience in the classroom. It was a great program, everyone was welcoming and helpful with answering all of my questions.
TEFL Madrid was a wonderful experience ever since I applied to the course. I was offered help with finding a place to stay in Madrid and getting everything settled in. The course was definitely challenging, but in a good way.
TEFL Madrid offered me a job my first week of the course. Definitely recommend.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
The course itself was very informative with plenty of teaching practice from day one, and immense support from the tutors.

Best TEFL School in Spain

I recently completed the month-long certification course at TEFL Madrid. Based on reviews, I was expecting a strong program but the reality was much better. The course is dense and fast-paced but efficiently taught. The feedback from the instructor is specific and applicable. The administration is also very supportive and helpful with visas & the day-to-day issues of getting set up in Madrid. I am now in the midst of the Developing Teacher program and continue to be pleased with the instruction and facilitation of the course
 Really recommend, very friendly staff and I learnt so much in a short space of time. Very happy with the lessons and experience that I gained.
 Maria was a great teacher and so knowledgeable, thankyou 💕

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Cannot recommend TEFL Madrid highly enough. All the team challenge you, whilst supporting and helping you along the way.

TEFL Madrid is like home in Spain

I enjoyed and learned so much about myself and my own language doing the course at the TEFL Madrid Academy. Jordan was brilliant, not only did he teach us the skills that are necessary for us to become a good teacher but also put us in the deep end and that definitely helped myself to grow. If anyone is thinking about coming to Spain to gain their tefl to teach, then this is the place for you.
The tutors and staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, and although the course is intense, they help you through all the way. Plus, living in Madrid whilst you're doing the course is a great experience. They also offer great career guidance after you finish!

The amount of work, effort and time involved is priceless. This Academy does everything for us. This is the purpose of my review, and I hope everyone can read it this time.
