Review

This highly interactive course was a great introduction to TEFL for me. I had only just begun the online course so was entering as a full novice. In a packed 3 days I feel I learnt a huge amount about what's involved in planning and delivering lessons and taking responsibility as a teacher. Our teacher, Rachel, was terrific. She created a hugely positive and inclusive learning environment; encouraging questions and feedback throughout and sharing some extremely helpful and entertaining anecdotes from her own teaching experience. The exercises were very well constructed and really helpful in introducing the kind of materials we could use. I was never bored and always felt challenged in the course - but in a fun and supportive atmosphere! Great course, thank you.

Private Note to Provider (optional)
It would be helpful to have more copies of course materials - especially instructions for completing the teaching practice on day one. Working in groups with strangers is always a challenge and in my first group (none of us having completed the online course) we struggled to get to grips with things - I wondered later if having more copies of the task outline could have helped.
