- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I had studied up until unit 5 and completed my first assignment before attending this part of the course. In 2 days with my teacher Julie, I felt I learned so much more by partaking in the class, as opposed to reading it online in my bedroom on the computer. I was a 'nervous Nellie' about getting up and speaking in front of other people, and after the first day I think my teacher recognised this, so she partnered me up with another student who was very good at doing this, and it helped me so much. I felt my confidence growing as the day progressed. I even did a little dance in the classroom with the other student I was partnered up with. And I don't dance, ever! Let alone in front of other people. This class is great for anyone like myself who doesn't feel confident about getting up in front of a group of people and talking.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. As I have said in the previous comments section, my teacher, Julie McCann, was fantastic. She was very informative, she was fun, she recognised my weakness of getting up in front of a class to talk, and partnered me up with someone who was very good at it. I found my confidence growing by the hour as the day progressed, and I feel like I made so much progress in those two days. Part of me was disappointed that it ended after only 2 days.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. Everything was run so well! Our instructor was energetic, involving and very insightful. The practical teaching elements of the course were my favourite and were extremely helpful in terms of real-life application and preparing us for what will come!

- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The classroom element made this course so much fun for me in the last few days. I have learnt so much in just a few hours and met so many amazing people including our Teacher. I gained practical experience and had loads of fun doing it.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. I was so impressed with her lesson and how she explained all of the details. All our questions were answered and she revised what was not understood. She helped with a lot of tips and tricks in the classroom and what can make life easier for us as a TEFL teacher.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I loved the place: a comfortable and nice hotel in the very center of the city, therefore, easy to reach by bus, train or tube; but even more important was the quality of the course, mates and trainer.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Very professional, informative, kind, clear and to the point.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. Classroom time actually boosted my confidence. Before I started I was unsure if this course/field is for me as I have never taught before besides doing a training mentorship at work and designing training programs. The content and activities in the classroom was simple enough to grasp and I enjoyed the fact that learning was very different than the traditional teaching system. The approach in the classroom was "do as I do" instead of "do as I say". I will definitely apply this going forward.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Judy was truly a gem and I appreciate the patience she had with us. All our questions were answered and we all felt comfortable to make mistakes and also learned from them. We were taught in a manner that I wasn't even aware was possible, veery simple. Also happy with all the advise that she has provided us with. Class time was really an awesome experience.
