The year that I spend in Buenos Aires was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. There are no words to describe how amazing this city is. The energy, the vibe, the charisma. You just have to experience it. Yes, there are ups and downs. But every second is worth it. Teaching really helps to plug you into the community. You are no longer simply a traveler (an outsider) - you become a member and stabilize. Brad and Michelle do an amazing job giving support and guidance along your journey. You would be crazy not to take this plunge and live your dream.

I had a great time taking my TEFL course with Brad and Michelle. It was very educational! I had no idea about English grammar beforehand! Every aspect of the course was clear and well set out, and I felt very confident afterwards taking on my first students. The practice sessions during the course were invaluable, and the support for the 'first' lesson was great.
The school itself has everything you need and the support didn't stop after the course finished. Brad and Michelle are always there for you to drop by, borrow materials, or just have a chat about how you're doing. So you're not alone once the course has ended! Which I think could be a daunting thought.
I would highly recommend taking the course with them, you will be a happy new teacher if you do!

What would you improve about this program?

I took the course during the winter and it was a little bit cold in the building!

The Buenos Aires TEFL International program is one of my favorite education experiences to date. The faculty were amazing and felt like an extended family. My classmates were incredibly supportive and great role models. It was a small class size and felt like a tight-knit community of like-minded people, all of whom had passion and curiosity about teaching ESL. A very nurturing yet perfectly challenging way to learn the TEFL trade. Not to mention, Buenos Aires is the hub for coffee, food, wine, and party lovers. Highly recommended!

I took the TEFL course in Buenos Aires with Michelle and Brad Raymond. I can't say enough positive things about the course. The classes were well planned, well presented and thorough. All aspects of teaching English were covered, from grammar points to planning lessons. We also had many opportunities to teach real Argentine students. The practice teaching and feedback from Michelle and Brad, as well as from the students, were invaluable. Just as importantly, the course was fun! We laughed and I remained friends with my fellow students.

Michelle and Brad go above and beyond for their students. They have answers to all sorts of questions and are a wealth of information and guidance for life and work in Buenos Aires. I can't say enough positive things about them and the course. I'd do it all again.

What would you improve about this program?

Hmm...hard to think of something. But maybe a bit more time on preparing resumes.

Why did you decide to get TEFL Certified with ITTT TEFL in Argentina?

Elizabeth McInerney - ITTT TEFL in Argentina Participant

Liz: After graduating from university, I wanted to find a way to spend a year working and living abroad. Teaching seemed like a great option, as I hold a psychology background and enjoy working with people. I choose this particular program based off of a recommendation from a friend of a friend, who spoke nothing but praise for this TEFL site. I am glad I followed her advice.

Did you teach abroad? How did this TEFL Course impact your experience?

Liz: I did teach abroad. I taught kindergarten at a bilingual school in the mornings and business English to working professionals in the afternoons. Evenings/weekends were sometimes filled with private tutoring gigs. The TEFL Course helped give me the skill set to navigate all these different jobs and learn how to best serve various forms of learners.

What is one piece of advice you would offer someone considering this TEFL Course and teaching abroad?

Liz: Commit for a year at the least and be persistent. There is work out there but it will not come to you – you have to seek it out.

What was the highlight of your experience?

Liz: My highlight was really connecting with the local community. I fell into the local jazz scene and created a lot of friends through this network. I also lived with two amazing women, one Argentine and one Canadian, who both helped me to feel at home in BA and to grow as an individual.

Anything else you would like to share?

Liz: The ex-pat scene is wonderful. I met such dynamic and incredible people, but I would really encourage you to also try to tap into the local community. Go to meet ups, date locals, go to shows. Essentially whatever your passion is – try to engage in that on the local level in BA.
