Shanghai 120-hour Classroom TEFL Course

If you are looking for a worthwhile (and crazy fun) TEFL course, look no further than Teaching Nomad. They really are the greatest.
The support I received from this company right from the get-go was astounding. My thousands of questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly.
The course content was useful and well-presented and the observed teaching practice was the best way to put the theory we were learning into practice.
Our trainers all went well beyond what was required of them- not only did they do a fantastic job of imparting their knowledge on us, but they also helped us with many day-to-day tasks like organising sim cards, helping with directions, and so much more!
The job support I received was also incredible!

Thank you so much to everyone who was part of this course in any way- I had the greatest time and am looking forward to teaching in China!

My TEFL experience with Teaching Nomad has been an incredible one. Everyone from administration to the trainers has been incredibly helpful and responsive.The course was well designed for us trainees to comprehend and to better learn, understand, and experience the life of an English teacher in Shanghai. Ginger, Nicole, Lisa, and Nik has been amazing through out the course in answering every questions we had and coming up with every resources we needed. Thank you Teaching Nomad for this amazing experience!

I took the TEFL 120hr in-class course in Shanghai and I was so glad that I've did it. Although I had teaching experience prior to taking the TEFL course, I immediately realized it was the right decision to be TEFL certified at the beginning of the course, because it helped me understand how to become a good teacher and at the end students are the ones who benefit from it. I got to understand how to help students improve their English in different kinds of doable and effective ways. I liked that the course had explained not only the perspective as a teacher but the perspective as a learner as well. Good teachers should always be ready to adjust to the student's needs.

The theories and material covered in the course were realistic (very user-able). Although the study workload was very heavy, it would be worth and paid-off as soon as the teachers applied the theories or the teaching skills into their own classes and noticed how effective they were.

I love one of the quotes from my instructor, Steve, "It's easy to be a bad teacher," as it reminds me of how to NOT become a bad one. I strongly believe that teachers should never stop learning.

During the course, situations happened. Sometimes things were subject to change. But the manager was beyond helpful. He was caring to all the trainees and always offered help when needed. Last but not least, the TEFL course is an intensive course and don't expect it is easy. But you will not go wrong for the time and effort you spend if you plan teaching as your career. For any teachers who are looking forward to improve their teaching skills, I would highly recommend taking this course with TN TEFL Academy.

Teaching Nomad's TEFL program has been a wonderful experience. Myself, coming from a non teaching background, now feels fully equipped with the skills and confidence to make a success in my change of career. All those involved in the program were impeccable in the teaching and administration of the TEFL program. And at no time were we the students left feeling isolated and without help and direction. A deep thank you to all at the Teaching Nomad TEFL program!

I took the course in Shanghai this November and have no regrets. It was well worth the effort, time, and money. I had no teaching experience prior to the course, and I didn't have much confidence that I was cut out for teaching. Now, thanks to the Teaching Nomad crew, I am looking forward to starting a new teaching career in China.

The instructors, Lisa and Steve, made the course lectures interesting and relevant by sharing their own teaching experiences, both good and bad. They allowed other students with teaching backgrounds to share their experiences relative to the lesson. They were also very helpful and encouraging when giving feedback before and after the teaching demos.

The customer service beyond the class is also top notch. Ginger (TN Program Manager) went out of his way to help myself and others get accommodated in Shanghai. He was always quick to address any questions or requests made by the students. He also gave great teaching advice and feedback after our teaching demos.

Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely recommend the TN TEFL course to anyone interested in teaching abroad.

Firstly, I would like to begin by thanking Teaching Nomad for the commitment and professionalism shown towards not only the course but it's trainees as well. Secondly if you are interested in pursuing a teaching career in China then I would highly recommend the 120 hour in-class TEFL course. This program is designed to help individuals gain a better understanding about teaching and the dynamics involved in it. The course provides it's students with a solid framework from which you are then expected to apply the knowledge and skills you have gained. All in all the program was a success and one will have no trouble finding a job at the end of it. Lastly I would like to express my gratitude to Ginger, Lisa and Steve. These are the best trainers one could possibly ask for. They are patient and are always willing to help you no matter what.

It's been a pleasure

One of the nights, 2 of the classmates and I went drinking but had class the next day. We probably got home around 5am. The next morning, we made it to class but it was obvious we were all tired. We had a foreign language class at night and everyone literally looked like they were sleeping throughout the whole thing! Good times but we should of probably did that on a weekend.

The program and the people at Teaching Nomad were absolutely wonderful and truly made the experience what it was and definitely enjoyable. Information was effectively presented to us in a number of manners and we were able to practically use said information in demo teaching classes. The children were amazing and those teaching classes really allowed us to build and expand on our own developing teaching styles.
