- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I thought the course was excellent, very informative and the tutor was excellent. I went into the course not being 100% certain teaching abroad was what I wanted to do but I left the course now knowing its definitely the right thing for me to do. I also know more on what to expect when I do it and how to get myself in a position to start applying.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. I felt he was almost faultless, he remembered everyone's name almost instantly and he was very enthusiastic which rubs off on the students which is a necessity when your spending 10 hours a day in a small room with people you've never met before. Probably couldn't have asked for a better tutor, very helpful.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I didn't really know what to expect from the course, and was really glad that we didn't focus too much on the content, but how important the delivery is in order to ensure effective teaching. It really got me thinking about how difficult it is to teach in an environment where students understand very little or nothing of English. Before the course I thought it would be easier than teaching native English speakers but actually found it would be much more difficult. Agi taught us some great techniques that we could use. The class was very interactive and all of the activities that we did we could apply to our classes so it was all completely relevant. On entering the class, I didn't feel very confident as I didn't have any experience in teaching and a few of the other students were teachers. However, by the end of the course and with Agi's feedback, I felt like I really could be a good teacher.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Agi, the tutor, was extremely professional throughout the course and I had complete trust in her ability. I was quite nervous at first as I thought I'd be much slower at grasping things than others as they already had teaching experience, although Agi made me feel confident by providing constructive feedback. Everyone bonded well during the course and I think that was with Agi's help by ensuring the lessons were interactive and fun. I think most of the students would agree that she really knew what she was talking about and gave really useful information from start to finish.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. Our teacher was very pleasant and friendly. I felt that we had plenty of opportunities to ask questions which were all answered. Iona (our teacher) also made an effort to give us information which was most relevant to our independent reasons for taking the course. The class was motivating and I left the course looking forward to completing the rest of the work.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Our tutor seems to really enjoy her job which made me very optimistic about teaching English once I have completed my course. Our teacher was pleasant and friendly. We got through the information quickly.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. I thought 20 hours over two days was very hard but also very necessary. I was impressed with how fun it was and what should have been a harsh 20 hours actually was really enjoyable and informative. I also think the location of a hotel helped as it had toilets close by, and hot drinks. Also we got lots of breaks which I thought helped to keep motivation going and by doing so took into account the long hours of the course. It was very appreciated.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. My tutor was Judy and I think she helped to make the course extremely enjoyable. She was bubbly, happy, informative and a very good teacher. I hope that I can be half the teacher that she has become.
- Q. How satisfied were you with the classroom element of the course? A. The teacher was very experienced and made the class fun as well. The course material was clear and well structured, and the exercises that we were made to do has motivated me even further.
- Q. How satisfied were you with your TEFL Tutor? A. Ian clearly knew his material well, we had confidence in him and his abilities. He maintained a relaxed atmosphere that lent itself well to good learning.
