Classroom and Online TEFL Courses

Really helpful to gain confidence toward starting my personal teaching experience. A great opportunity to break the ice before facing a classroom in a real school. The exposure to such a diverse group of students offers an enriching learning environment. The teacher's impeccable preparation highly contributed to the success of the entire program. She projected great enthusiasm throughout the whole duration the three-day course. Evidence of her passion for teaching as well as her students. Totally satisfied 👍🏼

The location, facilities and setting were all ideal for this course.
I found Rachael to be an open, friendly, interesting tutor, who wowed us by regaling tales of her travels and experiences in TEFL.
The language and clarity of the lessons made understanding of the subjects attainable. My class was varied in age and experience, but we all gelled and I enjoyed working with everyone. Had I not understood anything, Rachael was helpful in explaining; often with examples and directing where to find information. The end of day presentations could be nerve-wracking, but I feel I gained a good foundation for furthering my study and impending career in teaching. I intend to improve my understanding of the topics covered in classroom with the online course over the next weeks. Throughout the lessons, Rachael provided advice and encouragement, ensured a positive and relaxed- yet productive environment, and I'm very happy I signed up to attend the course (at very short notice), with such an amazing tutor! Most grateful.Thanks again.

I really enjoyed the TEFL course. We were lucky to have a great group including an excellent tutor; Rachel. Everything was explained well and we were given plenty of opportunities to practice what we had learned.

Rachel was very encouraging and helpful to everyone and that gave everyone the confidence and enthusiasm to really get involved in the activities. At the end of the course we were given advice on how to look for jobs and make the most of the course.

The presentation slides to the course were provided immediately which was very useful too.

I found the whole course to be engaging from start to finish. I wholeheartedly enjoyed having Jo as my classroom tutor in Cardiff; she brought professionalism yet fun to the three days. I believe that students should be more encouraged to complete at least the grammar course before arriving for the classroom course as those who hadn’t slowed down the speed at which the class could have gone. Overall though, I’m pleased I embarked on this and can’t wait to put my new skill to good use all over the globe!

Learning online and in a classroom is crucial for me to make sure I understand what I have learnt. The classroom experience was in a really supportive environment, Rachel (teacher) was so lovely and supportive. She always had so many ideas and suggestions which were really helpful. I'm enjoying the course so far both online and the classroom. Everyone in the class was very supportive and we all had an understanding that mistakes will be made since for many it was the first time teaching to a large group.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the program before I arrived but i was pleasantly surprised. The class contained 9 students altogether which i thought was a good number for everyone to be able to gain a good learning experience. The course materials were great and informative and structured throughout the two days that it flowed well. By the end of the two days i felt equipped to create my own teaching lessons and confident to start teaching. The stand out element of the two day course was the teacher Joanna, who's depth of knowledge, patience with students and teaching style was fantastic. I had many questions throughout the two days which Joanna kindly took the time to answer and encouraged me to ask more so if i was unsure of anything or required clarity in any subject matter. She made the activities fun, engaging and created a very fun and enjoyable learning experience. Can't say thank you enough to Joanna for the great teaching experience.

Two long days over one weekend but enjoyable and educational. The tutor Simon had a wealth of experience which he used wisely to help us get the most from the time available. The right amount of practical tasks and plenty of class interaction to maintain interest and involvement. Great atmosphere created with plenty of encouragement, motivation and confidence-building. Quite a diverse group of students which added to the quality of the experience. This course is usually part of a longer online Tefl course with most students seeming to do the classroom element early in their online course. Although it's not required to have started the online studies before attending the weekend, I would recommend completing at least the online grammar module before attending, especially if you don't already speak grammar....

The TEFL weekend in Liverpool was very informative and gave us a good idea of the practical side of TEFL and complimented the online content well. Rachael was an amazing tutor, she was warm and welcoming and did well in keeping us active and interested during the long days. Her balance of professionalism and friendliness was phenomenal. Can't thank her enough. It was a good opportunity to network and meet other like minded people with similar ambitions. I was fortunate in that our small group bonded really well from the offset and I have no doubt that we will keep in touch in the future. The activities were presented clearly and we also took part in some educational games that you could use when teaching a class of your own. All in all, I would rate the program 10/10. It was intense and the days were long, but I enjoyed myself from begging to end.
