- Q. Did the course live up to your expectations? A. It was challenging but a great overall experience with a great overall experience. The Classroom element gave me a very thorough taste of what it is to be a TEFL teacher including lesson plans, what to incorporate and the methodology and style of teaching. The 2 days flew by and were full of all types of activities and practices. The lesson planning and practice sessions were a bit daunting but gave me a good taste of what to expect and highlighted areas where I can improve. I really enjoyed the German lesson, which really put us in the position of the students I may teach in the future. I was surrounded by a lovely group of people. Everyone in the group got involved, shared ideas and were very supportive of each other.
- Q. Do you have any comments about your TEFL trainer? A. Debbie was an excellent teacher and extremely approachable. We were all put at ease right from the beginning with a brilliant ice breaker. She provided us with lots useful information and was very knowledgeable about all things TEFL. Debbie gave us very thorough feedback after our teaching practice giving us large amounts of positive feedback and giving extremely useful advice as to how each of us can improve in our lessons. Questions were always encouraged and if we did not understand she always took time to explain things in a way we would understand. Thank you Debbie.

She was very enthusiastic about getting involved in TEFL, very encouraging and eager to answer any of our questions.
