TEFL Madrid Academy is simply the Best!

The local staff helped me with absolutely everything throughout my program. I had already been in Spain for a number of years, so a lot of my things were already sorted out regarding hous- ing, visa, bank card, etc. Even so, there are always little tweaks and kinks in the road that you can’t really foresee, and the program was there to back me up literally every time. Every little question I had about my visa, even though I was already going through the process for the fifth time, they were there to help. All of my questions about what to do when I was unsure of certain things that were going wrong with my bank account, or even the right questions to ask when renting an apartment even though I had already done it, they helped me out. Everything from serious paper- work right down to little pieces of advice, the staff in my program were there to help me. That is to say, they even did things for me that weren’t really part of their job, answered questions that weren’t really their concern, and supported me so I could get by. For that I can say they are not just staff at my program, but they are people, even friends, that just want to help, from one person to another.
Even during the most confusing parts of my process, I knew I could rely on the academy to make things clear to me. Because of this I never felt like I was alone or lost. Coming to a new country and doing a TEFL class can be both daunting and confusing, and it’s important to have a good support system because honestly the long list of things to do and the confusion can be enough to turn anyone off from going abroad. But with staff like I had, you realise it’s not really that hard, it’s just new, and with them to help you every step of the way, you realise it’s totally possible to do everything that needs to be done. And so, you are free to take the first step towards changing your life without having to worry about a million things at once. Although you can’t put all responsibility on the staff, you can always know that they are behind you to give you any support you may need.
