My achievement

Hi, everyone
My name is Natalia, I am an English teacher with an experience of teaching in general education in the Eastern Europe. I came to Ireland four years ago and had been working in service for all this time. I couldn't practice my job because my diploma is not qualified in Ireland. Though, I was very lucky to be able to do the 5 Level TEFL course. For me it was a big challenge as I haven't studied anything the last few years, but all the materials were easy to understand, and Rachel Walsh, my tutor was ready to help me any time I needed. Great thanks to the whole team for this opportunity.

What would you improve about this program?
As not everyone doing this course is a teacher, I would suggest adding more materials about lesson planning.
Pros
  • It is very comfortable do do it, considering that you have a full time job and a family.
  • The access to the course is six months, so everyone can do it on his pace.
  • You are given repeated chances to do your assessments properly.
Cons
  • To my opinion, some modules contain too much information, in others I would like to have more materials..

Beyond my Expectations

There is lot of debate about who has the better TEFL course....

I did double the research and decided on doing a LEGITIMATE Internationally Recognised Advanced Diploma - TEFL.

Best choice. Don't be fooled by fancy words.

The TEFL Insititute is the way to go.

The journey was a long one, exploring parts of the human psyche and behaviours.

Relearning English grammar was a challenge, as it was the first time around through school.

I now have an excellent path to travel acound the world and be able to work and thrive everywhere.
