Excellent experience

I completed my TEFL course in the UK, but wanted to gain more confidence and also skills in teaching EFL. The week volunteer teaching position sounded perfect. I felt it would be less pressure as it was a volunteer position.

It was organised from first applying and throughout the week I was there. The accommodation was good and a location great. Valencia is also a very cheap place to live.

I was very nervous about teaching and Alyx and Paul were there to reassure me and give hints and tips with each lesson plan. Just before my first class I was so nervous but Alyx and Paul reminded me that students are aware we are new teachers and that everything would be fine. After the first lesson I was elated that I had done it and I also really enjoyed it. The students were lovely and they even helped me places to visit and what restaurants to go to.

Those working at the school socialised in the evenings which was great fun. For those that are worried about going alone, you will be made to feel welcome as soon as you get there. I class it as an excellent experience I will never forget.
