TEFL Courses in York

Marisa

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

  A. Firstly, the teacher (Michaela) was absolutely brilliant. Her friendly welcoming manner put everyone at ease. Her in-depth knowledge and experience meant she could answer our questions; deliver the course clearly- and with a sense of humour- and support our learning, offering encouragement, tips and advice. The group size was ideal (8) and we were fortunate to have a wonderful group of diverse people; the group dynamic worked very well. The elements of the course gave us opportunities which made us think about how we could deliver lessons at different levels and what it was like to be a complete beginner. There was a good balance between subject knowledge (in particular, elements of grammar) and practical tasks, presented in an integrated way. Although it was quite intense, we all agreed it was not only informative but very enjoyable and inspiring.

James

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

  A. Christine was encouraging and great at explaining the confusing topic of grammar. She delivered our class in a fun and entertaining way. We had some good discussion and got the chance to learn for an experienced tutor. I also enjoyed it as I got to take to like-minded people and now feel I have a support group of people to bounce ideas off of. We all became so close over the two days and agreed that we wished the course was all classroom based so we could stay together a little longer. I had a fab time and will recommend this course to others. Thank you so much Christine.

Samuel Twist

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

  A. The activities and group learning format were introduced and implemented incredibly thoroughly. The method by which the grammar and vocabulary was taught was of the highest standard I have ever experienced in adult learning. All questioning and discussion from the group was tackled extensively and in a comprehensive, inclusive manner. The material being taught was also put across with a degree of professionalism so high that it allowed me to form further ideas on potential teaching techniques outside of simply English language. When considering the 2 days that the course was combined into, I feel that the extent of the classroom techniques demonstrated far exceeded what would normally be expected inside of the time limit. I could not recommend the TEFL tutor more highly to friends and colleagues seeking educational training.

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

  A. The tutor both commanded and encouraged the groups' attention from the moment everyone was assembled in the class. This allowed for an immediate sense of congeniality within the group, which established a fluid and relaxed learning format and enabled me to absorb myself totally in the language process. Language techniques were demonstrated in a way that was both stimulating and enlightening. And in a manner which enabled the class to involve themselves individually with the content, whilst still maintaining a fluid learning process for the entire group. Aside from the body of knowledge on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation I was able to gain from this class, it was an exemplary demonstration of the standard of practice required to teach English Language.

• Q. How satisfied you were with the course handouts?

  A. The depth of the subject material went far beyond what was anticipated and I was provided with comprehensive charts on phonemics, verbs and pronunciation. The extent of the materials provided for the presentations by the tutor was also hugely beneficial when fulfilling the exercises.
