Program Reviews

The program gives you real world, interactive training that is applicable to both adults and students. You will practice various teaching scenarios with actual students, both online and in person, so that you are equipped to handle any level of teaching English to non native speakers. TtMadrid’s methodology ensures that students practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening so that they have applicable skills for their everyday lives. The instructors are available for all kinds of questions and support- including how to get acclimated to Spain with the proper documentation and necessary paperwork necessary for living and working in a foreign country.

I’m incredibly grateful to TtMadrid for the outstanding support they provided during my transition to living in Madrid and learning how to teach English. The staff are exceptionally welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely invested in their students’ success. Having such strong guidance while moving to a new country and starting a new job made the entire experience far less overwhelming and so much more enjoyable. It’s truly reassuring to know I have their continued support throughout my entire stay in Madrid.

From the beginning I have received a huge amount of support when applying for the TEFL program at Tt Madrid. My first point of contact was Charlie who is wonderful. She was quick to reply to my emails and made the application process manageable and was a joy to deal with. During the in-person part I met the team who are extremely friendly and approachable. Katie and Gretchen were my go to people and genuinely made me feel at ease. They are both incredibly warm and offered so much help in all areas.

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!

Completing the TEFL course with TT Madrid has been an incredibly rewarding experience! It was an intensive but fun journey, packed with learning, laughs, and plenty of support along the way. 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!

I had the best experience with TtMadrid! The online section of the course was well organised and we received consistent feedback throughout. The in-person course was intense, but we received amazing support at all times from the TtMadrid staff. The teaching practices with real students were a great way to practice and develop our teaching skills, as well as experimenting with various resources. This course has also given me the opportunity to meet some amazing people, and develop a deeper understanding of the Spanish culture.

TT Madrid was a great experience and the perfect first step toward living in Spain. They provide support with the visa process and everything you need to get settled. Also, their partner Spanish school has very good teachers and a great method to teach Spanish. As soon as you finish the course, they start sending job alerts, making it so much easier to find work. Madrid is also a great city to live in. It has everything, a great nightlife, hiking places near the city, many cultural activities etc and it’s very international. Highly recommended!

TtMadrid is more than just TEFL; and for the TEFL program, they are sufficient at what they do. Ensuring you pass actually helps their numbers.
As far as the company itself, they are what you can expect from an education organization. The cost of their program/s is/are on the higher end of the local market, so I recommend you do your research. You may read all 4 and 5 stars from people finishing the TEFL program because the school has your write the review in your last day/s while you are in class so they can review it with you. Keep in mind, in the last few days of the TEFL program, of course you are pleased with the outcome of the program, because you passed, but in all reality, a TEFL program is a TEFL program, so again, do your research.
Part of the packet is to include your visa and some Spanish lessons, well you have a certain amount of time to do complete your lessons so they consider themselves a school or an academy, but in this case, it is not an academic school; therefore, they are an elective school. You elect to go to this school and you elect which program you want. From this, they feel they must control the rest of the outcome with little input from the consumer.
If you start to work after TEFL, then those Spanish classes become very difficult to attend. Going into the summer time, they have very little to no staff; therefore, even if you are available, they may not be. They shuffle teachers around so much and have you bounce from teacher to teacher. Each teacher teaches differently and is always starting over in the program. TTMadrid feels it is their right to move you to where they feel you belong rather than what you want.
As all of this is going on, you are losing time on your visa which you cannot complete your prepaid Spanish program. This is a way the company gets to keep the money without having to actually provide the credit to you. So, it becomes a lose lose on your behalf while they rake in the money. Then, if you bring this to their attention, sure they will always defend "why" but at the end of the day, it is the consumer that pays the price; in multiple ways and the consumer is the reason they are in business. TTMadrid even mentioned they can give a 3 month extension to our visa to try and finish the program, but actually, you are automatically given the extension to take care of an extension even without the school; so they try and make it feel they are there to help.
So, do your research, because other schools in the area can give you all of this, mean what they advertise, provide you with an actual job, and provide unlimited visa renewals; something TTMadrid cannot live up to.

This course was great. I loved that we got so much practical experience, as we were able to teach 6 lessons, to different group sizes, levels, and age groups. This means we leave with some experience, for new teachers like myself. They had great online resources and we studied everything from grammar to phonology. Andrea, Brittany, and Helen were fantastic, supportive and kind. It's a lot of hard work, there are a lot of assignments and deadlines, but you leave completely prepared to teach. I would 100% recommend the course!

This program really sets you up to be a competent and knowledgeable English teacher. The classes are filled day to day with lessons such as grammar and phonetics but also with practical information about what it is like to specifically teach in Madrid and in Spain. With intense training and teaching practices, there is constant support from the trainers as well as important feedback. I was hired within my first week of finishing the program thanks to TTMadrid sending out my CV to multiple contacts.
