- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. I scored this because I found the tutor Emma extremely helpful and she showed me ways in how to teach which I never would have known about only for the classroom sessions. Also it helped me to realised what was important and what to think about when going forward with teaching English as a language.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. Emma was absolutely brilliant as a tutor extremely helpful, friendly,patient and went out of her way to give us tips on how to teach and ideas to think about when teaching.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. Excellent advice received from tutor on how to establish lesson-plans and then put them into action in front of our peers. This was followed by excellent feedback from the tutor.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. Her approach to the course was excellent. She very quickly developed a rapport with the students and showed us how it would feel to be a TEFL tutor.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. We were fortunate to be a fairly small group, and we got on well. Our tutor was sensitive to our differing educational backgrounds, and we were individually able to participate and enjoy the experience.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. Although 20 hours over 2 days seemed daunting, Jo allocated the time available in a way which was interesting and even entertaining at times. I also feel much more confident now to start the e-learning stage.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. I thoroughly enjoyed the two day course, it was exactly what I was looking for. The material was well paced and importantly at the right level. Georgina, our tutor, was excellent and had a great energy throughout both days. She was very knowledgeable and helped make even the grammar section of the course appealing and fun.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. As mentioned the course had excellent energy and enthusiasm and the tone was set by Georgina. I liked her style and the relaxed way she explained items. I got a lot out of her demonstrations of lesson work, eg teaching polish. I really appreciated her honest feedback on my own presenting.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the course. Lynne was so engaging and taught the material with a good mix of activities. It was also refreshing being in an environment of like minded people which was enhanced by Lynne's interaction with us.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. It was a pleasure being taught by Lynne on every level. She engaged the group and maintained her professionalism throughout. I had already finished the modules in the online course and the classroom class re-enforced what I learnt and added new skills such as the teaching practice. I had to go out of my comfort zone in some respects but Lynne handled that perfectly.
- Q. How satisfied you were with the classroom element of the course? A. I felt really comfortable in the classroom, being around 10 people was enough to give to everyone the opportunity and time to participate actively. The lessons were clear and well organised. I liked how the teacher decided for a different layout each day. Although the 10 hours could be really heavy and hard to remain focused till the end of the day, at the same time the intensity of it allowed me to have a full-immersion of what is supposed to be a world of teaching and to keep my enthusiasm awake in the meantime.
- Q. How satisfied you were with your TEFL Tutor? A. I gave this score because the whole 20 hours of the intensive course were extremely exiting, especially thanks to the teacher, Tom. He was great, lovely, spreading all the enthusiasm and love that he has for his job. He was funny and really professional at the same time, making the 10 hours per day much more lighter to stand. And he gave us also many advice's that we might need one day in our career as TEFL teachers. I also really loved the two teaching practices. They helped me to figure out how teaching may look like and how I may feel about it. And I'm glad to have had a personal feedback from Tom for each of us at the end of the course. It was really useful.
