Professional online course

I'm a student of this program and I'm happy with the online course. The tTMadrid staff organize the lessons in the best way, they help student-teachers to be a professional and funny teacher.
The tTmadrid have a good system to help teaching. The online course are really interesting for the student because they can practice with students like me, that need to improve.

Amazing and challenging TEFL course!

Tt Madrid provided an incredible TEFL course. The work was challenging but really important for going on to teach and they provided lots of support. The teaching practices that you do on the course are so helpful in putting into practice all the skills you’ve just learnt and you receive detailed feedback and guidance. When I was trying to decide which TEFL course to do I found it really tricky to pick but I am so glad I picked Tt as I don’t think I would have had a better experience anywhere else.

Excellent training!

Excellent training! The teaching was diverse, covering different teaching styles for groups or individuals. We had opportunities to gain practical experience. The training was well-rounded and they covered everything we could possibly need to know as a teacher here in Madrid. Extra classes are available to learn Spanish after hours. We received support with our paperwork including setting up a bank account, and registering for our TIE/NIE cards. We had lots of fun, made friends and lasting memories. I couldn't have asked for more, and our teachers were just awesome and loved by all ;D

TtMadrid, a many splendored thing!

Staff are all welcoming, friendly, cheerful, energetic and very supportive. They chat with you even on personal basis and they use different, creative teaching approach. Molly is a smart teacher, lovely, fun and a people person!

The program is well structured, organized and they listen to your suggestions. They assist you how to settle in Madrid from food, places, cultures, etc as well as visa procedures. Facilities are great; they are continuously improving it up to now.

Most of all, I had the most wonderful classmates ever and an amazing 4-week time with them! I had witnessed and experienced a wonderful sharing, support, laughter, naughtiness, team work and great friendship amongst us. Truly splendid!

Taking the TEFL course at TtMadrid is indeed an amazing experience. It was a rigorous one but all worth it especially when you try to have fun. Plus, you will definitely gain more friends even after the course.

What was your funniest moment?
When I tried to read 'hippopotamus' in my own dialect and almost everybody enjoyed it. And also how I made fun of giving praises to my classmates during our 'extra activites'. Even got an appreciation/award for it! The best part was during our graduation day, we all had a grand time celebrating it!

Great program with fantastic staff!

Taking the TEFL course with Tt Madrid was overall a great experience for me! The program is totally immersive and you learn a ton in a short period of time. Before Tt, I had never taught English before to anyone, but I left feeling confident in my teaching abilities. TtMadrid teaches you everything from how to structure a class in a way that is conducive to learning, to how to manage students who are maybe falling behind or are a little less confident in the classroom. The teachers are always there to give you positive comments as well as critiques in order to perfect your teaching style.

However, the best part of TtMadrid is most definitely the people! The teachers and staff are very engaged, and are always there to help you. They go above and beyond to make sure you are understanding the material and have everything you need to be successful. Besides in-class support, they are always hanging around during lunch (especially Molly!) or after class to check in on everyone and see how they are doing. I think this support system is what really makes the students excited to learn and to be at Tt. The program makes an effort to foster community amongst the students, planning events like a bar night during the first week and a graduation party in the last week. It has been 8 months since my TEFL course and the students in my class still regularly keep in touch. This has been an added bonus of the course, meeting new friends to help you navigate a new life abroad :)

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Teaching your first class can be scary if you've never done it before! However, because of all the preparation TtMadrid provides in advance, and the warm spirit of the staff, you quickly get over the stage-fright and learn to feel comfortable leading a classroom. The teachers are always highlighting where you shine, and constructively critiquing you on how you could become even better. You will leave the course feeling confident in your abilities as an English teacher.

Great support, Ttmadrid

Unlike another place, Ttmadrid gave me such innovative techniques which I can easily apply in class. As an inexperienced teacher, I believe everyone needs a good support. Especially when you start something completely new to you, you need a great team to guide you step by step. I remember I could not attend in one class. Next day, the trainers gave me a private lesson. Finally, being a teacher requires a lot of confidence. At Tt, there are a lot of teaching practices with real students. So you will be more than ready to hit the teaching market. I do recommend Ttmadrid for anyone who believes they deserve the best.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Being an English teacher can really help you to see the world.

TTMadrid is the way to go!

I am super happy about my experience with TTMadrid. They are very helpful every step of the way and are always available if you need help, before, during, and after the program. They equip you with the methodologies and tools to create a lesson plan using the PPP Method. I went into the program without much of an idea of how to plan and teach a class. Afterwards, I was able to create a lesson plan that I knew my students will enjoy and learn. I was able to teach with confidence! Two years later, I am still using what I have learned from TTMadrid.

In addition, TTMadrid helps you with your job search. I found my previous and current teaching jobs through TTMadrid. They set you up for success!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
This program prepares you to teach English ANYWHERE. If you want to travel and still be able to support yourself, I highly recommend this program. You won't regret it!

TTMadrid, is a TEFL Masterclass!

From the very beginning TTMadrid and their incredible staff were some of the most responsive people I have ever dealt with! Through every interaction I learned something new, and was able to get my questions answered!

One of the first things I learned was that TTMadrid would be the longest and shortest 4 weeks of my life. They weren’t kidding! The amount of amazing material they pack into this course is phenomenal! You will feel overwhelmed, but it’s preparing you so well that you will feel confident in every TEFL situation moving. I made some incredible friendships and have skills that will be useful forever! I absolutely recommend this course to anyone looking to expand your way of thinking and teaching.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
You can do it! Just take it one day at a time! And never be afraid to ask for help!

Very happy!

I am very happy with my decision to go with this company. I did a lot of online research and thought this was offering the most for the best price.
I was able to study in Madrid, with teachers who really knew their stuff and were dedicated to helping us learn and achieve through the four week course. The teachers are friendly, knowledgeable and make lessons fun.
I am now teaching and feel fully confident in how to create, deliver and teach lessons! I was worried about the course being too difficult but the teachers take the time to make sure you understand everything.
Wish I could start the journey again and would definitely recommend this course to friends who want to learn to teach!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I did the course again I would relax a little more, you're going to be fine and you will pass!
But equally, I would make sure to do my work little and often (every day) so I can still enjoy the weekends!

TtMadrid is Family

TtMadrid is a real family, not only do they have the best teachers, they also made the whole TEFL learning process fun and easy to understand, although it is a challenging course. The assistance from the team, during and after the course is commendable and when ever you have a teaching question or require assistance, they are their to assist you. From before the course, during the course and after the course the assistance and support is 100%. TtMadrid not only became my friends, but also my second family.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take the plunge and just do it, it might feel scary, but every sweat and tear is worth it.
