Program Reviews

Teacher was great, with lot of passion and enthusiasm for the course. She encouraged us to step outside of our comfort zone and challenged us with interactive games and excesses throughout. I particularly enjoyed how we got to learn a couple of extra languages on this course through some class practices, which I thought were very usefully used to demonstrate what our students would be feeling like in class.

Venue where the course was held was of a very good size. Free parking available by TEFL even if the hotel is out of spaces and the break refreshments never ran out.

Overall, it was a very encouraging and enjoyable course to take!

Much better than expected, I found the TEFL course inspiring, and a great springboard for a potentially very rewarding new chapter of my life. I found the on-line component engaging and educational, and I enjoyed the set assignments. Tutor feedback was always prompt with constructive feedback and suggestions for further development. The classroom event was a very enjoyable experience, and an opportunity to meet other students. Despite the long hours (20 hours over the weekend, plus homework), our tutor kept us engaged throughout with many interesting exercises, and an opportunity to develop our own classroom teaching event. A very bonding experience, and a real confidence boost.

Having completed my 20 hour TEFL classroom course I feel a lot more confident and ready to step into the classroom and begin teaching. I think it is important to take the classroom course alongside the online course, as it allows you to put the skills you learn into practice in a controlled setting in which you can receive positive feedback and improve.
Everyone was friendly, fellow students as well as the tutor and it was overall a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for prospective ESL teachers.

What can I say, an absolutely fantastic course with great people! Our teacher Steve, was very understanding and empathetic towards all of our needs. If we struggled with anything he would repeat it in further depth. His enthusiasm was very welcoming, forging us together as a solid unit.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to venture into the world of teaching. The online course can be intimidating to some, but when broken down bit by bit. With the help of your tutors through email and the step by step videos. It is easily crackable.

I really enjoyed this course and material. The organiser made it fun and relaxing, while also giving us invaluable insight into the teaching processes and skills. I enjoyed being put in the learner's shoes and seeing how challenging it can be to actually teach and learn another language, especially if there is no common link. The excersizes were really engaging and fun, the time flew by honestly. Seriously would reccomend to anybody who has ever thought of getting into teaching, really worth the money.

The experience that I gained participating at tefl two days classroom course was unique, because as a native/qualified tutor of Spanish, it was very interested for me to observed the teacher Asif performing the lessons and using different kind of teaching methods, learning styles and resources which has help to improve my knowledge and skills in my teaching field.

It is very intereted for me to be able to teach English as a Foreign Language and to be able to travel abroad helping people who wants to learn the foreign language. Although I am Peruvian/British nationality and my first language is Spanish, however it would be a challenge for me to do that.

Steve, put everyone at their ease straight away and filled the room
with energy and a laugh a minute. Creating a laid back and accessible environment for all learners is something he is particularly good at, he even got us speaking in German and teaching in French, Albanian and Spanish. The success of the weekend is testament to Steve’s enthusiasm and passion for breaking down the barriers of language in a fun and engaging way and making it accessible to all! Thank you Steve- what wonderful experience!!

I bought the TEFL course (120 hours on-line + weekend course in Jury's Inn Dublin) delivered by Mark. There was 12 in the class and the course was held over 2 pretty intense days (Saturday and Sunday). Mark was our lecturer for the weekend and he was superb. He brought great humour to the classroom and the weekend passed quickly. He taught us how to teach using a well defined methodology which included games and other classroom activities. The emphasises was on getting the students involved and interested. With his easy style Mark managed to get everyone to participate - we learned from each other and made good friends over the weekend. I came away from the weekend, feeling I made a great choice in going with TEFL and I would have no hesitation recommending the course to anyone interested in teaching and travel.

It’s like any course, some elements will be taken with me forever yet some elements seemed a bit to in depth and possibly unnecessary. However, overall it was a worthwhile experience. Often myself and some other members of the group couldn’t understand what was actually being asked of us when tasks were given out. Whilst the instructor was a fluent English speaker, (yet not a native) I think it was miscommunication that left us somewhat confused about what she was actually asking us to do! Overall I am pleased with the way the course was handled and would definitely recommend. Thank you! And thanks to Jo for her support throughout the weekend! Much appreciated. Cheers. Dave

Really helpful to gain confidence toward starting my personal teaching experience. A great opportunity to break the ice before facing a classroom in a real school. The exposure to such a diverse group of students offers an enriching learning environment. The teacher's impeccable preparation highly contributed to the success of the entire program. She projected great enthusiasm throughout the whole duration the three-day course. Evidence of her passion for teaching as well as her students. Totally satisfied 👍🏼
