An Amazing Journey – Perfect for Couples Starting a New Adventure

Our experience with TEFL Madrid Academy was nothing short of incredible. As a couple from the USA, we were unsure how the transition to teaching abroad would be, but the support from the academy made it seamless. The staff guided us through every step, from handling visa paperwork to finding job placements, which meant we could focus on our training. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help. We loved that they not only provided excellent teaching skills but also connected us with job opportunities right after graduation. The community of fellow teachers we met made the experience even more enriching, and we both felt fully prepared and supported. TEFL Madrid didn’t just give us the skills to teach; they helped us start a new life in Spain together. Highly recommended!

What was your funniest moment?
Our funniest moment was when we tried to introduce ourselves in Spanish during our first class, and Tim accidentally mixed up the words for "teacher" and "cooker." The students laughed, and it became an ongoing joke throughout the course. It was a great icebreaker and showed us that mistakes are just part of the learning process!
Pros
  • Excellent job placement assistance
  • Incredibly supportive staff
  • Comprehensive, hands-on training
Cons
  • Intensive training schedule (but well worth it!)
  • Initial paperwork can feel overwhelming, but staff help a lot
  • Limited free time during training

I was nervous about standing in front of a room full of students, unsure if I’d remember everything I’d learned. But the support from the TEFL Madrid Academy instructors made all the difference. They encouraged me, gave constructive feedback, and reminded me that it was okay to make mistakes. By the end of the class, I felt more confident and realized that with practice, I could handle any challenge that came my way.

100% The Best TEFL Academy ever!

My experience with TEFL Madrid Academy was nothing short of amazing! Before even completing the TEFL program, I was struggling to find job opportunities. However, thanks to the incredible support from the TEFL Madrid team, I was offered a teaching position with their sister academy, Exam Madrid, before I even graduated! The staff was always there to guide me, ensuring I had everything I needed to succeed. Now, I'm living my dream in Spain, working with multiple academies and as a private tutor. TEFL Madrid not only gave me the skills I needed but also provided me with real job opportunities right from the start. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join TEFL Madrid Academy!

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments happened during a spontaneous "Spanish slang" lesson we had with our fellow teachers. A friend and I decided to surprise our classmates by creating a mini skit that incorporated some of the quirky local slang we’d learned. We exaggerated the phrases for comedic effect, and watching our friends' reactions—especially when we used phrases like “¡Eres la leche!” (You're awesome!) in over-the-top scenarios—had everyone in stitches. It was a lighthearted way to bond and learn, and it definitely made our language lessons more memorable.
Pros
  • The program offers detailed and practical training that thoroughly prepares you for teaching English. This robust training equips you with the skills and confidence needed to excel in the classroom and adapt to various teaching environments.
  • One significant advantage of the program is the chance to gain practical classroom experience even before graduating. This early exposure to teaching allows you to apply what you’ve learned in real-world settings, build your teaching skills, and enhance
  • The program connects you with participants from all around the world, helping you build a diverse network of friends and colleagues. These connections often lead to lasting relationships and can be valuable both personally and professionally.
Cons
  • The initial training period is quite intensive, with a heavy workload and a steep learning curve. It can be overwhelming at times, especially when combined with adjusting to a new city and culture. However, this challenge is balanced by the strong support

Guaranteed Job Placement—TEFL Madrid Delivers

I can't say enough good things about my experience with TEFL Madrid. From the moment I signed up, they were committed to ensuring my success, and they absolutely delivered on their promise of 100% job placement. I was a bit skeptical at first because it sounded too good to be true, but they proved me wrong.

The course was excellent, covering everything I needed to feel confident stepping into a classroom. But what really set TEFL Madrid apart was their job placement support. Before I even finished the course, they had already lined up several interviews for me, and within a week of graduating, I had secured a full-time teaching position at a fantastic language school in Madrid.

The best part was that I never felt alone in the process. The staff were with me every step of the way, providing guidance and encouragement. Knowing that they had my back took a lot of the stress out of the job search. If you're looking for a TEFL program that not only trains you well but also guarantees you’ll have a job at the end, TEFL Madrid is the real deal. I’m now happily teaching in Madrid and couldn’t be more grateful!

What was your funniest moment?
One of my funniest moments occurred during a classroom observation early in my teaching stint. I was watching a fellow teacher’s class when a student accidentally knocked over a huge stack of flashcards, sending them flying across the room. The teacher, quick on her feet, turned the situation into a hilarious impromptu game, asking the students to “catch” and “sort” the flying cards. Watching the students scrambling and laughing while trying to put the cards back in order was both chaotic and endearing. The whole class ended up in fits of giggles, and it was a great reminder of how humor can turn even the most unexpected situations into memorable learning experiences.
Pros
  • The program provides extensive training that covers all aspects of teaching English as a foreign language. This thorough preparation boosts your confidence and effectiveness in the classroom, making you well-equipped to handle diverse teaching scenarios.
  • Living in Madrid offers a rich cultural immersion experience. You get to explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, enjoy its culinary delights, and participate in local traditions, which greatly enhances your overall experience abroad.
  • The program attracts participants from around the world, providing a unique opportunity to build a diverse network of fellow educators. These connections often lead to lasting friendships and professional relationships that extend beyond the program
Cons
  • I was so grateful to get accepted and complete this program. They helped me through everything, so I can't even think about any con...

Comprehensive TEFL Training with Unmatched Support

My experience at TEFL Madrid was a game-changer. The course provided me with specialized training to confidently teach English for official exams like IELTS and Cambridge, something I never imagined I'd be able to do so effectively. The curriculum was hands-on and focused on real-world teaching scenarios, giving me the tools I needed to succeed in the classroom.

What truly made my journey with TEFL Madrid exceptional was the personalized support I received with all the legal aspects of my stay in Spain. Navigating visas and legal requirements seemed daunting at first, but the team at TEFL Madrid made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. They walked me through every step, ensuring that my legal status was secured and all my paperwork was perfectly in order.

Moreover, they were incredibly proactive in helping me find a teaching position even before I finished the course. Their network of contacts landed me a great job in a reputable language school in Madrid, where I now teach exam preparation classes with confidence. Finding suitable accommodation was another hurdle I was worried about, but TEFL Madrid made it easy by helping me secure a comfortable place to live that fit my budget and needs.

Thanks to TEFL Madrid, I’m not only well-prepared to teach English at a high level, but I’m also settled into my new life in Spain without any of the usual hassles. If you’re looking for a TEFL program that covers all bases—education, legal support, job placement, and housing—TEFL Madrid is the best choice you could make.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
A fun and unique experience I had was joining a "chocolate con churros" tour one chilly winter morning. It was a delightful way to explore Madrid’s traditional cafes and learn about the history of this iconic Spanish treat. We visited several spots, each offering their own twist on churros, from the classic dipped in thick hot chocolate to more modern versions filled with cream or dusted with cinnamon sugar. The tour ended at one of the oldest and most famous churrerías in the city, where we all sat down, warming up with hot chocolate and laughing about our new favorite spots. It was a sweet and satisfying way to dive into Madrid’s culinary culture!
Pros
  • The 100% job placement guarantee is a major advantage of the program. Knowing that you will have a teaching position secured after completing the course provides peace of mind and allows you to focus on your training and adapting to life in Madrid.
  • The program encourages and facilitates cultural immersion, offering numerous opportunities to explore Madrid and the surrounding areas. This immersion not only enhances your teaching experience but also enriches your personal understanding
  • The TEFL Madrid program offers an incredible support system, from the moment you enroll to well after you’ve started teaching. The staff is always available to assist with any questions or challenges, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
Cons
  • While the program is full of enriching experiences, the busy schedule can make it tricky to balance your training with exploring all that Madrid has to offer. However, once the initial training period is over, you’ll have more time to fully enjoy the city
  • Adapting to a new culture can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re not familiar with Spanish customs or the language. But this is also part of the adventure, and with the support of the TEFL Madrid team, you quickly find your footing

Seamless Transition to Teaching in Spain!

Choosing TEFL Madrid was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The course itself was top-notch, providing me with all the necessary tools to become an effective English teacher. However, what really stood out for me was the incredible support TEFL Madrid offered in handling all the legal paperwork and visa requirements.

As a non-EU citizen, I was initially worried about navigating the bureaucratic maze of securing a visa, finding legal work, and making sure everything was in order for my stay in Spain. But TEFL Madrid took care of everything. From helping me with the visa application process to ensuring my legal status was solidified, they made what could have been a stressful experience completely hassle-free. They also guided me through the paperwork for obtaining a work contract, making sure every detail was covered.

What’s even more amazing is that I secured a job before I had even finished the course! TEFL Madrid’s job placement service is second to none. They not only connected me with their partner schools but also helped me land a teaching position right away. I started teaching part-time while still completing the course, which was a fantastic way to gain practical experience and earn an income immediately.

Thanks to TEFL Madrid, I’m now teaching full-time at a wonderful academy in Madrid, and I couldn’t be happier. The transition to living and working in Spain was smooth and stress-free, all thanks to the dedicated team at TEFL Madrid. If you’re looking for a TEFL program that offers comprehensive support, including handling all the legalities of working abroad, look no further. TEFL Madrid has you covered from start to finish.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I could do it all over again, one thing I would change is arriving in Madrid a few weeks earlier to settle in before the program started. I found that jumping straight into the intensive TEFL training while also adjusting to a new country and culture was a bit overwhelming at first. Having some extra time to acclimate to the city, get comfortable with the local transportation, and maybe even take a few Spanish classes would have made the transition smoother and less stressful.
Pros
  • Immediate Immersion in Teaching The program allows you to start teaching almost immediately after completing your training, giving you a hands-on experience that solidifies what you’ve learned.
  • Cultural Immersion Being based in Madrid offers you the chance to fully immerse yourself in Spanish culture. The program encourages you to explore the city and interact with locals, enhancing your overall experience and making your time abroad even better
  • Networking Opportunities TEFL Madrid attracts participants from all over the world, which means you’ll have the chance to meet and network with like-minded individuals. These connections can lead to lifelong friendships and open up future opportunities
Cons
  • Honestly, I didn't experience any significant cons during this program. Thanks to the exceptional support and guidance from the TEFL Madrid team, any potential challenges were addressed promptly and effectively. They made sure that I was well-prepared

Life-Changing Experience in Madrid!

My experience at TEFL Madrid was nothing short of transformative! From the very first day, the team at TEFL Madrid made me feel like I was part of a family. The course itself was rigorous and well-structured, covering everything from lesson planning to classroom management. I felt fully equipped with the skills I needed to step into a classroom and teach confidently.

What truly sets TEFL Madrid apart, though, is their unwavering commitment to job placement. Before I even completed the course, they assured me that I would have a teaching position, and they absolutely delivered on that promise. Right after graduation, I was offered a teaching role at Exam Madrid, their own English academy in the heart of the city. It was the perfect environment to start my teaching journey, with supportive colleagues and eager students.

But the support didn’t stop there. TEFL Madrid also connected me with another language school in the city, where I now teach a variety of classes. On top of that, they helped me set up private online lessons, which have been a fantastic way to supplement my income and reach students from all over Spain. The flexibility and diversity of teaching opportunities have been incredible.

Living and working in Madrid has been a dream come true, and I owe so much of that to TEFL Madrid. The job placement guarantee they offer is 100% real, and they are with you every step of the way to ensure you land on your feet. If you’re considering a TEFL course and want the security of knowing you’ll have a job afterward, I can’t recommend TEFL Madrid highly enough. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice to future travelers on the TEFL Madrid program is to embrace every moment, challenge, and opportunity that comes your way. Be open-minded and ready to adapt to a new culture, as it will greatly enrich your experience. Take advantage of the extensive support offered by the TEFL Madrid team—they are there to help you succeed, so don’t hesitate to reach out. Also, try to learn some basic Spanish before you arrive; it will make your transition smoother and help you connect more deeply with the locals. Finally, explore as much of Madrid and Spain as you can. Each region has its own unique charm, and traveling around will broaden your understanding of the country.
Pros
  • Comprehensive Training The TEFL Madrid program offers thorough and practical training that equips you with all the skills and knowledge you need to become a successful English teacher. The curriculum is well-rounded, and the instructors are experienced
