My Journey

I did TEFL from Goa in May 2017, I must say that I had a marvellous time here. To start off with my trainer Pinky Tripathi ma’am was the best thing that happened to me in a long while, I have done other courses in the past and had had many other mentors but Pinky ma’am will have a profound impact on me because she is the best I have been taught by so far. The course took place in a very spacious venue where we had AC and cold water available throughout the day , the room was very cozy and worked perfectly as a classroom. Pinky ma’am was always absolutely helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable, she left no stone unturned in drilling concepts in our minds and making our peer and practice teaching worth with her minute observations and valuable feedback. She was well prepared and gave me immense knowledge and taught me new techniques to teach English. Her creativity has left me in awe as I never thought things could be done in class so creatively. Though the classes were hectic I looked forward to each day because I had peers who were full of life, I learnt a lot from them and they kept my interest rate high in the class with their ideas and creativity. The curriculum which ACT follows is very well set and is designed in such a manner that helps the trainee to become a well rounded teacher, it caters to all the parameters required for an English teacher in an ESL classroom. With the curriculum my trainer put in her own inputs to make the course interesting and keeping our spirits high, we did lot of activities in class which helped me in paying attention throughout the day. The best thing which my trainer came up with was change of locations for our classes which broke the monotony and made our classes fun, we went to the beach, the pool area and a restaurant to study, I loved those sessions because they were so interesting. Our course co-ordinator was extremely helpful and was available whenever I needed his help. I would obviously recommend this course to all the teachers I know, it has helped me and will help everyone. I would like to thank ACT for giving me the opportunity to learn in Goa and under such an experienced and well versed trainer.I would advise everyone to do this course under Pinky ma’am as I feel she is the best. Kudos to ACT and Pinky ma’am the best trainer anyone could get.
