Get TEFL Certified and Volunteer Teach in Europe

It was my first experience teaching with Angoloville. I taught adults English. Everything was pretty organized and professional. The program itself was very informal and flexible. I enjoyed my experience teaching and would love to do another program to get TEFL Certified. What I enjoyed the most were the students and their eagerness to learn. All were hard working, dedicated, and intelligent. They made my first experience teaching exciting and highly rewarding. The organizers were also very easy to work with. All of the directions provided were concise. I think that both the students and the teachers got out of this program what they put in. It was really up to the teacher to make the lessons more fun and challenging for the student. We weren't really provided with any formal lesson plans so had to create them ourselves. I found that correction, repetition, and writing things down significantly helped. The students also needed to be given a chance to think and self correct. I found that teaching came naturally to me and I learned a great deal as I went along. It was a great experience and I can't wait to do it again.

Angloville was a wonderful experience! The online TEFL course provides great practical information for anyone considering teaching English. The course is well set out and has videos to watch, links and tips that are very helpful. The actual Angloville programmes were fabulous. We really enjoyed meeting the local participants, talking with them about their lives, the culture and country, politics, films, all sorts of things. Participants on the programmes had different interests and careers and great senses of humour! It was great to be able to support them in improving their language skills and/ or develop confidence in conversational English. I am a trained teacher and have had English teaching experience in other countries so was very much at home here. My husband though had no teaching experience and knows very little about English grammar so was a little nervous before it started, wondering if he would be very useful- it turns out he loved it!! Not scary at all, very personable and we were well supported. The programme was very well organised and led by down to earth friendly co-ordinators who valued the effort we put in and created a great atmosphere for participants and volunteers alike. We enjoyed social time with participants and other native speakers and had time for ourselves as well. The setting was wonderful, food very good and we enjoyed yoga by the water each morning! A terrific experience I can highly recommend. We are already looking forward to doing more Angloville programmes in the future!

An exquisite volunteer opportunity for trainee and experienced English teachers alike. The Polish participants are so attentive that conversing with them is a true delight. The venues are luxurious with wonderful, traditional cuisine and a relaxing atmosphere. However, the greatest praise must be reserved for the highly competent and well-qualified coordinators who perform their jobs perfectly. They train trainee teachers to become TEFL-certified. Furthermore, even though I had been teaching for seven years before attending the course, I found their coordinators to be highly insightful in terms of pedagogical awareness, more so than their comparative trainers on PGCE courses. They are eager to help all volunteers merticulously attending to career development needs. I would give this course my unconditional recommendation.
