I did the course with TEFL Toulouse this year in July. The course was one of the most intense 4 weeks of my life. The mornings are full of teaching theory, grammar and phonology, followed by teaching practice sessions and feedback in the afternoon. We all had to absorb a lot of information in a short amount of time. For me the group dynamic definitely made it easier, we helped each other get through the initial fears and despite the hard work, we had a lot of fun together!
So if you are wondering, every minute of it was worth it. Jonathan, Helen, Julie and Dimitri are all highly knowledgeable and they all made themselves available in a very generous way. The course was very well-structured and the content was engaging. I started teaching about a month after the course in Belgium and now I constantly find myself referring back to the advice and teachings of the trainers.
Prior to the course I was a bit scared being there as a non-native speaker, but looking back I realize what an advantage it really was! So fellow NNSs, please don’t let this ever stop you from applying!
I strongly recommend this TEFL course to anyone who is serious about teaching!
