- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The classroom element was amazing. I was hesitant in what to expect of it, but it was such a great learning experience. It was fun, informative and gave me so many ideas for my own classrooms in the future. It really taught me that teaching can be fun and you can walk out with a sense of accomplishment and a smile on your face at the same time. Also, in taking part of actually presenting a class it gave me a lot of confidence and broke down some stereotypes I had in my mind of what it is like.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Carmen was very engaging, energetic and worked excellently with the students. She explained in a way that was easy to understand and she really got the whole group of relative strangers to work together in a way that made them feel like friends. She really went above and beyond for the class.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The tutor, John was really informative as well as laid back. He made me feel comfortable to express my answers even though they might have been incorrect. The grouo was small (6 students) therefore it was easy to work in pairs and discuss the task in hand.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. John was very informative and made you feel comfortable expressing your answers or opinions. He also encouraged group/pair activities which made it easier to get to know the other students.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Elena is an excellent teacher and she was very engaging and supportive. There was a lot to get through and Elena kept the group focused and motivated. The course content is very relevant and I ended the weekend energised and ready to get started in the online content. Thanks Elena - you're great!
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Jennifer was an absolute legend. Her passion for teaching and ability to motivate you and teach the subject with such class was truly something special. She made the course fun but so constructive and valuable it really helped me get a firm grasp of what teaching English in a foreign language is all about and how to go about in the best way possible! 10/10 for Jen!
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Mayy was an absolutely excellent tutor. She is honestly one of the most experienced teachers I have ever come across, and the experiences and wisdom she had to share were amazing. I also loved the fact that she had a sense of humour, which helped lighten the immense amount of information to absorb during the 20 hour course.
- 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.
