- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. The course gave me a good insight to what to expect, and covered a vast amount of ground in many aspects. However the timetable advertised was too ambitious; our excellent teacher kept the pace up but some themes were either quite sketchy or not covered at all. The Teaching Practice sessions were a bit muddled as we were trying to interpret how to use the resources we were given, which most of us found hard to elicit and adapt material from rather than concentrate on practising teaching.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. He was good anyway, knew his material thoroughly, kept the atmosphere jolly without letting it become silly, mixed the class well, and used technology very effectively. He pointed out pitfalls and areas of sensitivity. He made the course enjoyable.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. Iona's years of practice was evident. The class was informative and fun. The pace was fast when it needed to be and slower when necessary. We didn't have to sit down all day and take copius notes. She engaged with us all day long and gave necessary relief from the basement classroom.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. Iona's teaching made sure everyone was included. No hiders in the background. The small group work built confidence. She didn't own the classroom - we all did. The things Iona taught stayed in my memory. The hours flew by in a good way.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. First of all, the course was a real eye opener for me....the idea that each lesson required so much planning and organisation had not really crossed my mind. Our course lecturer, Emma, was superb. She was encouraging, informative and set a very high standard for the class to reach to in such a short period of time.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. Emma was excellent.....she had a no-nonsense approach yet managed to cater to the the different levels of each student. She was able to teach a huge amount of information to us in a short time and did it in such a way as to make it memorable
