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

  A. The information received over the weekend course was very needed. As someone who is not a teacher by profession, the tips and information were very useful. The course instructor really stimulated my thoughts about teaching and reconfirmed my interest in teaching abroad. She (Baphiwe) was so enthusiastic and helpful and made the long hours in the class enjoyable and captivating. The weekend will really help with putting the course to action when I eventually start teaching and will help with the assignments.

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

  A. I left the course feeling less nervous and more excited for the future. I had already started with the online course and Baphiwe made things so much clearer and easier to understand . Got to experience teaching..as nerve wrecking as it was I'm glad..it got me out of my comfort zone. All my questions were answered from the type of work we'd have to do, what to expect, all the ups and downs about leaving home to go overseas All in all the experience was great.. I wish the whole course was classroom 😂😁

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

  A. Baphiwe was super friendly and knew what she was talking about. She made sure we all participated and that we got our monies worth especially since I travelled from Port Shepstone just for the course and fearing if it will be worth, i was not disappointed

  A. I gave this score as Bee the instructor was truly amazing at what she does. Every question was answered, everything was well explained and I feel way more confident going overseas and having a proper idea of what is expected. I truly had a lot of fun and walked away happy and 100% satisfied.

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

  A. She was a joy to work with and had a smile on her face all 2 days. She explained everything thoroughly and gave everybody a chance. The feedback she gave was always on point and from going in there with not knowing a lot, walking out - I feel super satisfied and confident walking into a job overseas. She had an answer for everything we asked which was amazing!

Jordan

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

  A. Everything was pulled together in the course, it just made everything from the online aspect of the course fall into place and become concrete in the mind, there is only so much a computer screen can do in terms of getting the information across to the student but the classroom practical was the missing piece that brought it all together for me, gave me greater insight into what being an EFL teacher would do.

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

  A. Honestly such a cool teacher, she had us focused yet entertained all day long, her energy was contagious and she made English fun, any questions we had, she gave a well worded answer that brought closure and always gave constructive feedback in terms of our performance on tasks. Highly recommend her for other courses in the future yet to come.

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

  A. I am a shy person by nature and as a shy person the one thing we dread the most is the ice breaker. The ice breaker for the class was a total different method than the ones I have usually had to endure. It was fun and it broke the ice completely with no hesitations or fears. Thereafter being in the class was awesome with awesome people and an awesome teacher. Baphiwe made the class fun, easy to understand and she was very helpful. She made wanting to be a teacher so cool. I really learnt so much from just 2 days. I came out of my "shell" so to speak and I absolutely loved it. I have already recommended The TEFL Academy to so many people. Thank you guys!!!

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

  A. Baphiwe was very polite and professional. She was informative, she was always helpful no matter how many times we asked the same question if we did not understand anything. She made wanting to teach fun.

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

  A. Was really not looking forward to spending a whole weekend on this, but it went so quickly and was so, so worthwhile. Our instructor, Bee, was incredible and made it all a lot of fun. The topics covered were relevant and will definitely help going forward. It was great also to meet others doing the course and hear how they were coping and hear their understanding of the assignments.

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

  A. Bee was INCREDIBLE! She made the topics fun and had such a great presence and humour. She was in control without seeming like we were being disciplined, and found the perfect balance of letting us enjoy ourselves while not wasting time and knowing when we needed to focus. Her advice and insights into hands on English teaching were great.
