Do I need previous teaching experience to qualify for a TEFL certificate course?
No, during the four weeks of a TEFL course, we teach you how to teach. First we equip you, then you apply it in face-to-face teaching practice with real people that are learning English. You will study the technical intricacies of the English language and how to be a teacher. You will also be put into the position of the student and begin to learn an unknown language. You’ll teach different levels of local adult students. Each of these classes will be observed by your trainers and fellow trainees. Detailed post-lesson feedback and analysis will be given and areas and priorities for learning the how-to’s of teaching navigated. Most important of all, you will be mentored, encouraged and trained by TEFL professionals who know their business.
