Your trip Itinerary

Your Teaching Experience

A typical week consists of 18 to 25 classes from Monday to Friday, with most weekends free (great!). Classes are typically 50 minutes long, with instruction focusing mostly on English for Communication. You should create them to be engaging and enjoyable.

You may expect to devote 15 to 20 hours each week to class planning, grading, and extracurricular activities. Most schools employ a substantial number of foreign teachers, and most cities have a sizable community of international educators and ex-pats.

The TEFL Institute of Ireland offers a variety of excellent TEFL courses, many of which I have completed and thoroughly enjoyed. They are packed with valuable content and methodologies. Should you have any queries or need any assistance throughout your course(s), the staff respond quickly and are of great help - especially Walter Cullinan!

I have been annoyed with so many conflicting opinions about TEFL opportunities or rather lack of hope for a 65-year-old geriatric with a goal to help teach anyone wanting to improve their English. Fortunately, I was advised to contact the TEFL Institiute, and a very lovely lady painted a picture of hope despite the picture of no hope I had in my mind. I would like to say a big thank you for reaching out to me today. I will in the near future enroll to supplement my knowledge and embark on the adventure of teaching.

Sórcha was a great help in deciding the TEFL courses that would suit me best and align with the intentions I hope to use my qualifications for. Although I’ve yet to apply for the course, it is certainly a career path I would like to venture, all thanks to her help!

Great experience dealing with Sorcha O'Connell. To hear a friendly voice on the phone was comforting when it felt like chaos in my head. Sorcha was very patient, understanding and very knowledgeable about anything about TEFL courses and whatever questions I had. Believe me, there were many .....:) Continued prompt responses to emails were appreciated. Her guidance encouraged me to make an informed decision about my way forward in the TEFL world. Thank you, Sorcha!

I registered for the TEFL course with the TEFL Institue company and it was easy for me to contact to customer service when I had any difficulties, answering immediately.The course is designed for working people because they give you six months to take the tests. All the information is written in addition to having an audio of said information, making it very comfortable to study. Likewise, at the end of the course you have the option to download the title in PDF. I was very satisfied.
