- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. It was informative - I felt I've picked up a lot of hints and tips which may not be in the online units, it had elements of humour (thus making it less formal and not boring), it had a good level of interaction and the facilitator on the day kept good order with regards to the 'class loud-mouth' (there's always one) and dealt with the class 'I-know-more-than-the-teacher' guy very well, with answers to everything that was getting thrown at him! It pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me useful insight into my own abilities. It was also great to get feedback from the other class members too - it built my confidence. It also gave me insight into what I need to work on in terms of presenting to a class. It was great and exceeded my expectations.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. He was the perfect mix of good-cop, bad-cop! He passed on a lot of useful information regarding his own experiences which was helpful. It's always good to get some useful hints and tips from someone who's 'been there' in the real world, rather than just reading facts from a book.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I was so surprised at how much I learned and the teacher Iona was incredible
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. She was so engaging and taught me so much, she had such a wide knowledge of tefl so could answer all of my questions
- 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. The tutor was extremely professional. The location was excellent. The course was informative. I was able to answer all questions I had so I now feel confident starting the online modules.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. She was very polite and professional - always positive.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The weekend’s facilitator, Rene did a terrific job. She approached each day with the energy and enthusiasm that we would have to convey to our own students when teaching. She really ‘showed’ us and didn’t just lecture. I have a lot more insight and knowledge now of what it takes to teach EFL, as well as some of the things I can expect when I go overseas.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. As stated before, Rene’s tutoring is commendable! She approached each session with energy and enthusiasm and was an exemplary teacher. It allowed me to see exactly what is required to be a good and effective teacher. Rather than telling us, ‘do this or do that’, she showed us through her own teaching.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The classroom course was interesting and informative. Learning how to structure and present a classroom lesson - and having the opportunity to practice in front of students - was highly beneficial. Our teacher for the weekend was fantastic - fun, friendly, and organised. The material was all covered in an enthusiastic manner, and questions were all answered knowledgeably.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. She was wonderful. The time went by quickly as she kept the course structured and interesting throughout.
