Excellent Weekend

I had a great weekend in Brighton doing the course. While it's a hell of a lot more challenging then I thought it would be it was none the less great fun and informative. I learnt many new things that I simply did not know about the English language lol. The group of students were a very mixed bunch of people from all ages and back grounds. They were really good people to be around. Simon the teacher was extremely good and informative but funny at the same time. I cannot recommend the course enough.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Presenting in front of everyone I found bit nerve racking as they were a new group of people I had never met before.

Excellent, extremely useful and rewarding course

This course was excellent. The online modules provide you with a huge range of skills that equip you to teach EFL. The 20 hour weekend was the most valuable part of the course, reinforcing the skills within the online modules but also providing a very interactive experience. The interactive weekend course was very enjoyable; I learned a huge range of skills and also built up my confidence in terms of going on to teach a class of my own. Overall, the course has provided me with all the skills necessary to take my own lessons, and given me a lot of inspiration to carry into the classroom with me.

I would also like to say that the leader of my 20 hour weekend course, Elizabeth, was excellent and made the weekend thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding.

A fun and learning experience

The 20 hours spent on a weekend for the classroom course of the TEFL were totally worth it. Not only did I have a lot of fun and enjoy all the modules given, but also it was a very rewarding learning experience on how to manage a class. The teacher (or instructor) Rachael Smith was really helpful and achieved successfully an entertaining module we all certainly enjoyed. We left the course understanding the importance of planning a lesson beforehand and how to handle students' struggles with some practice ourselves. I must say the practice lessons we had to plan at the end of each day with the materials and instructions we have studied before were the most useful, making you realise your mistakes and how to correct them (it is not as easy as it looks!).
All in all, apart from the great learning face-to-face experience I could meet new fantastic people whose aspirations are similar to mine, and so, exchange ideas and destinations. We would definitely keep in touch and who knows, maybe share the workplace someday!
Special thanks to the work and effort of Rachael Smith, I would completely recommend this course with her.

TEFL Course, Novotel Reading, 30/11 - 1/12

This was one of the best presented and most enjoyable short courses I can ever remember. Elizabeth was exceptional. She presented everything with good humour, expert knowledge and fairness.

The subject content was excellent with Elizabeth's emphasis not so much on the intricacies of the English language, that will follow online later, but more on how to structure lessons and develop a presentation manner that can enthuse and inspire the students. The venue in the town centre was a good choice too, and a class size of twelve was perfect.

Grateful thanks to Elizabeth. Through her style and charisma she managed to forge twelve complete strangers into a cohesive class very quickly and made learning fun. Speaking for myself, she has made me feel very enthusiastic about the hours of online study ahead.

What would you improve about this program?
There was nothing to improve, it was excellent in all respects.

Great experience

It was a very enjoyable course, great experience where we all learnt a lot. I would definitely recommend this course to those who are interested in teaching english as a foreign abroad and at home. I made good friends at the course and Simon, the trainer was absolutely amazing and helpful. I feel much more confident in teaching english as a foreign language whether it’s here at home or abroad and very excited to get into. I learnt so much about what I need to do and know for this. Simon covered almost everything and filled any gaps in our knowledge. We spent a very fun, interactive and educational 20 hours. I feel a lot more secure in myself when it comes to what I need to do in order to complete my course and teach. A very memorable weekend. 10/10

Great TEFL course

Last weekend I attended a TEFL course - the content was centred around teaching techniques for both vocab and grammar and putting that learning into practice. There was a wide variety of people there - all with different reasons for going into TEFL. It was inspiring to hear their stories and we created a WhatsApp group to share tips afterwards as well. The quality of teaching was excellent - Simon was a formidible teacher with a lot of experience in TEFL - he paid attention to every student and got the content difficulty level and timings perfect. Both days are around 9-10 hours of content but he made it engaging and, consequently, the time flew by! I would definitely recommend this course. I Met some great people and learnt a lot of vocational techniques. Thank you!

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps there could have been some parts of the course you need to complete beforehand in order to allow more time for certain sections of the course.

20-hour Fun Classroom

I was nervous and don't know what we will be doing in class. But when it started it was fun and interesting. All the activity was good and fun to participate in. Being a student and a teacher was a nice practice experience.

Thinking of ideas of teaching and topics and then delivering it to class was a fun activity and definitely gives you the feel on how you teach and also another person's teaching ways.

Trying out different levels of materials such as Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, and Advance feel the difference on how to teach a class depending on which level of class you'll be teaching.

It is best to participate and enjoy the activity, lesson, and learn.

Would definitely recommend this course to have a feel alone with the online course.

What was your funniest moment?
The Group Activities and practicing teaching as well.

Demanding yet fun!

The weekend workshop was demanding but also very fun! The people and the tutor helped to create a relaxed atmosphere so no one felt discouraged to participate. Even though some participants have never taught before, the whole group (the tutor included of course) was always encouraging and NEVER judged anyone. Also the tutor was super helpful and even gave some insider tips which were very useful.

Even though the workshop was rather long there were many short breaks and bottled water was provided all the time. All due to the tutor’s positive energy and the lively tefl programme, time flew by quickly. The provided material was super interesting!

I would totally recommend the whole tefl programme to anyone who is interested in teaching English.
