Weekend TEFL Testimonials

"Greetings from Rio. I took the weekend course 2 months ago and I've already been teaching in Brazil for 3 weeks. The i-to-i course was the perfect preparation and my tutor even helped me find my new job. Thanks guys."

Martin O'Reilly, 2007

"The grammar and language module was fantastic. I've been teaching in Thailand for 3 months now and I use the knowledge I gained on the course every day."

Lisa Lanson, 2006

"I took the 80 hour course last summer. I did the weekend course in Edinburgh, started the online course while I was living in London and ended up finishing it while teaching in Mexico. Taking a TEFL course has completely changed my life."

Fraser Comrie, 2007

"It was a highly effective introduction to the nuts and bolts of teaching which provided a valuable foundation for starting out. In particular it was possible to develop new skills and build confidence in their execution."

Colin Davis, 2007

"I liked being introduced to a concept (grammar/vocab) without realizing I was being "taught" it. I also enjoyed the interactive nature of the course. Our tutor was very knowledgeable. She encouraged our questions and had a laid back approach."

Tara Demers, 2006
