- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The course was very well structured. The pace of the course was just right despite the fact it was quite demanding. But somehow I felt manageable which boosted my confidence. As being a non-native speaker, I was a little bit worried if I can keep myself up with the native speakers. In fact the peers were very supportive, and my knowledge of grammar and pronunciation exercise were somewhat better than them. It was fun to challenge the activities. I learned lots of things working with the teacher and the peers.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. She presented the course in a pleasant manner;easy access but very professional. I was actually relieved to find that she had lived and taught in Japan, so that she was familiar with our culture as well as the weakness of the Japanese learners. It was really great.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The teacher was so experienced in the teacher role of tefl that she covered everything we would need to know about when teaching foreign students.She was also an excellent listener so when a question was asked , she would always demonstrate to the group the answer so everyone was involved. She kept us interested at all times . Thoroughly enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend this to other people who would like to train Tefl.We had a small group which was an advantage as we could cover more work which we didn't expect. Classroom was nice and plenty of room with comfortable seats.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Excellent teacher. Well educated and an experienced traveler. A voice you could listen to forever and a day. Had empathy with candidates and so helpful when one had a problem. Ten out of ten for me.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. As a complete beginner to teaching it provided a very thorough introduction and gave a lot of opportunities for participation rather than just sitting listening to the teacher. Teacher was excellent, engaging and encouraging throughout. Very good to have the two teaching practice opportunities and good to teach in pairs, especially for me as I had never taught before.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. She was very engaging and warm and encouraged everyone to participate. She explained things very well and was always on hand during activities/ teaching preparation to offer advice and help if needed. She was very encouraging and positive and offered good constructive criticism of the teaching practice in a way which was very helpful. She gave lots of useful tips from her own experience of teaching.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I found the classroom element to be a highly rewarding experience on a number of levels. It is easy to see why it is a necessary part of the training. It shows the candidate just how much preparation and effort go into teaching as well as putting them in the position of the student which helps familiarize them with teaching methods from that viewpoint. The teaching style of the tutor was first rate, Joe very quickly put the class at ease and got us into the swing of things. I think his relaxed, straight forward and personal approach helped the class come together very nicely and got everyone to open up. Overall I was very happy with the course materials and activities and the way they were presented.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. I think that Joe's teaching style and methods of presentation were a large part of what made the course so accessible and informative. He led the class through a lot of complex concepts with skill and subtlety, He elicited a lot from the group which seemed to help us help each other through sharing our different experience and viewpoints. Also I feel that when teaching the class directly his explanations were clear and easy to follow. All in all I found the whole weekend to be extremely positive and this was in no small part down to the skill and knowledge of the Tutor
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. It had the right balance, to me, of learning whilst being interesting, and had the element of humor from time to time. The teacher(Kelly) was excellent and the other students in the course were a pleasure to work with. This was probably helped my the fact that there was a good mixture of age groups.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Kelly made the course as intresting and was clear with what was expected. She was always availble for questions and clarification. She worked well with all age groups.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The teacher made the course interesting, interactive and informative. I felt like I have learnt a lot in terms of Teaching as well as planning for lessons; making lessons interesting and successful. I really enjoyed meeting other people on the course and practicing our skills with them too.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. The TEFL Tutor was professional and was a good teacher, she explained things well and taught me new information. I like how she would provide an example to the class through her own teaching techniques and then let the class plan for and execute their own short go at delivering a practise class.
