TEFL Courses in Chicago

Philip

• Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course?

  A. Alexandra was a highly effective instructor. I especially liked how she taught a lesson in the Romanian language without using a word of English. This showed us how we can teach even absolute beginners without relying on their L1. It was helpful to write lesson plans and to get feedback on this process. It was helpful to teach an English class to other students and to watch other students teach English classes to us. It was also good to meet other people who are planning to teach English.

• Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor?

  A. Alexandra was highly effective, knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. I did not even realize Romanian was her first language until she told us.
