Taking the OxfordTEFL course has been one of the most worthwhile experiences in my life.  The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and because of the course, I feel fully prepared to enter the world of TEFL... I would definitely recommend it to anyone I meet who is interested in learning how to teach EFL.

Jennifer Kleffman (April 2011, Barcelona)

 

After studying at OxfordTEFL I feel thoroughly prepared for life in TEFL. 

Simon Butterfield (March 2011, Barcelona)

The course is very well run, the tutors are very helpful.  It was a great experience!

Ciaran Henry (March 2011, Barcelona)

The staff at Oxford are all really personable and willing to help; this applies even when they are not strictly working. The course is well structured and set out.   Personally, I appreciated the use of deadlines, and also having a mid-course appraisal. I found the feedback beneficial and helpful, receiving guidance and advice from qualified teachers. It was effective for improving my own teaching. 

Kay Laundy (February 2011, Prague)

I feel that I've learned a lot about every aspect of language and teaching.  At the same time, I now realize how much I didn't know. I think this is a good thing... I feel like I've accomplished something very special. I also appreciated the wonderful personalities and care of each trainer; they helped to provide a fun, welcoming environment

Evan Iannitti (February 2011, Prague)

I learned so much about teaching, English, people and Spain.  I would recommend this course to anyone that would like to grow as a person.

Grisel Famania (January 2011, Barcelona)

I've been training and facilitating for over ten years. I thought I was pretty well-versed in my delivery, but Oxford opened my eyes to new styles of teaching and the differences between North American and European styles; specifically teaching English to non-native speakers... [the tutors] would answer our questions through daily classes and personal consultancy. They've become pros in determining student needs and knowing exactly where to incorporate the important lessons in to the teaching schedule... The tutors are fantastic, supportive and bent on having each student succeed.

Steve Coghill (November 2010, Prague)

The tutors here are excellent! Cat, Violeta and Nicola provided great teaching models and gave articulate, useful feedback.  It´s the best professional development I've had in years.

Christine Kauffman (October 2010, Barcelona)

I would recommend this course to anyone considering teaching English.  The teaching is top class and the practical experience gained on the course is invaluable.  

Oliver Lowe (September 2010, Barcelona)

This course prepared me more than I ever expected. The tutors are incredibly helpful and understanding. I never felt pressured or judged. I came with no experience and now I feel comfortable to go out and teach. The Oxford TEFL is the way to go!

The help with finding jobs and the CV workshop was excellent - that's why I'm employed right now. I will be using my experience at Oxford TEFL for many years to come, no matter what my profession may be.

Catherine Brzycki (August 2010, Prague)

The course was well thought out, providing the essential information and advise to become a successful teacher, through input sessions, valuable feedback from teacher practice, and generally a great training foundation... The challenge never got to be too much as the support the tutors gave really helped a lot. The course had the right balance of a friendly, informal atmosphere, and a motivating learning and teaching environment.... I learned a lot, feel like I got a great start, and gained the confidence to teach.

Geraldine Andrews (April - July 2010 - Part time TESOL Course Barcelona)

I found this course extremely useful. The tutors were very well prepared and easily accessible. The director was available all the time for questions and support and was very encouraging and helpful with the projects and assignments. The schedule is perfect for somebody who wants to work at the same time. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to get an excellent training experience.

Ximena Soto (April - July 2010 - Part time TESOL Course Barcelona)

I found the course absolutely helpful. The tutors were knowledgeable, supportive and always available. If you've developed some bad habits regarding teaching, this course is great to unlearn those habits. You will find the requirement for self-reflection on your teaching style, lesson planning really invaluable even if you've been teaching for many many years!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course... I have met some really great people and think that all the tutors have been very supportive. I don´t think that I could have asked for any more from a course and would highly recommend it to anyone who was thinking of doing it.

Tara Mooney (February 2010 - Barcelona)

The course is a great way to start a career in teaching English. From the first day you develop the confidence to teach and in 4 weeks you learn a great deal. 

Oliver McAdam (February 2010 - Barcelona)

I have learned a lot on this course... Everyone on the course is really friendly and supportive and I am glad that I chose to do the course here in Barcelona.

Narin Cakir (January 2010 - Barcelona)

An excellent course which teaches you as much about yourself as it does about teaching. Whilst you arrive with pre-conceived ideas about teaching, it is never quite the same when you face up to 15 or more students. You then realize it is down to you to motivate and teach them and the reality of the whole experience hits you. I found the four weeks very fulfilling and have learnt an enormous amount about teaching techniques and the importance of rapport.

Kevin Wilford (November 2009 - Barcelona)

A very rewarding experience as you get to see results first hand, when students leave the class using grammar/vocab you have taught them it definitely gives a very good feeling. Great way to meet people, everyone becomes very close and I am sure I'll be back to visit soon!

Marianna Xenakis (October 2009 - Barcelona)

I was really inspired by the skills displayed by the tutors. The techniques we'd studied were illustrated in the lessons I'd observed. The feedback was honest and done in a really constructive way - thanks! The Young Learner's session was fabulous - a real insight into the different techniques needed and the ways the learning can be conducted. 

Karen Mee (October 2009 - Prague)

Assignment instructions and requirements were well explained and with examples, input sessions fed into the assignments well. Tutors were very supportive and helpful in giving feedback and suggestions to improve teaching skills and lessons. SLP sessions with tutor available to answer Qs and give guidance (i.e. close on hand if needed). Great to actually start teaching in first week and good to get such practical experience.

Lana Thornycroft (February 2009 - Barcelona)

I was very impressed with the organisation and structure of the course. Each week built on the previous week's knowledge.

Brian Mauleon (January 2009 - Barcelona)

Everything was incredibly well organised, such a high level of professionalism from absolutely every teacher. Amazing level of co-ordination and communication between everyone. Thank you everyone at OxfordTEFL! I came on a recommendation and I will certainly be recommending to others.

Ben Craven (January 2009 - Barcelona)

I feel that the dynamic between the tutors and the trainees went very well. I always felt that I could go to the tutors and receive help. Everyone at the school is very warm and welcoming. I would recommend this course to anyone who has ever had an ambition to teach or anyone who is up for a rewarding challenge!
