I took my TEFL certification with Tico TEFL in May 2016. I was part of a college group with four other students travelling from Iowa.
The course was fun and interesting and the classroom sessions were always really interactive. We had regular assignments to complete, some were challenging but there was help available whenever I struggled. The tutors were very good and explained everything to us well without it being overwhelming or dull.
It was great to get to go to the schools too. The kids were so funny and sweet. They were my favourite part of the whole course. I think the classroom experience was helpful in understanding what we were learning in class.
My class was nine people in total. We all stayed in the same place and it so fun to hang out together in the evenings. The accommodation was very comfortable, we had breakfast provided before class in the mornings and also use of common areas and a kitchen.
Grecia was a lot of fun for us as a group. We often went to the outdoor pool on the weekend which is just a short walk away, there are also lots of restaurants and bars too so you won't get bored easily. There is a beautiful waterfall nearby where you can go and spend the day swimming. The free bonus classes are also very good, especially the Spanish class.
After the course I was recommended to apply for an internship at one of the schools and will now likely return to Costa Rica next summer for a few months.
An awesome experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in becoming a teacher.
