your trip Itinerary

On arrival, you will be collected by your host family or school liaison, who will take you to your new home (or you may travel by public transport, and your host family will meet you at the station).

During your first week, you will receive a local school induction and get the real inside scoop on teaching in Spain from other experienced teachers.

Your school liaison will review your teaching schedule, uncover the dos and don’ts of the local culture and placement, and nail down transport and logistics.

You will be fully prepared before you step into the classroom.

Now that you have been trained up, it’s time for the classroom experience. Remember your 120-hour TEFL Course which includes our Teaching Young Learners Specialist Course in this package will give you the theoretical knowledge you need to start teaching. You will be working around 20 hours a week as a language assistant. You’ll be teaching students ranging in age from young learners to older teens with mixed levels of English. This will you give you an invaluable first-time teaching experience. Your goal will be focused on conversation practice and helping your eager students feel confident as they develop their skills. You’ll also be a proud ambassador for your home country by sharing your language and culture. This is a big part of this placement at school and with your Spanish host family. Your local teaching colleagues will be your go-to for teaching tips but don’t forget to bring your ideas into the classroom. We included our Teaching English Through Yoga and Mindfulness course to make your lessons unique. There will also be plenty of time outside the classroom to explore cities nearby, such as Barcelona and bond with your fellow teachers.

Congratulations, you did it! Make sure to celebrate this achievement.

The possibilities are endless for you now as a confident and experienced TEFL teacher, and the world is your oyster.

What our teachers say

Evelina

Hi everyone. This is Evelina and I’m here to talk to you all a little bit about my experience in Thailand. I am from Lithuania originally but moved to Ireland back in 2004. In Ireland, I graduated with an International Business degree in 2018. I’ve always wanted to find a way to travel and even live abroad.

Domhnall

I received my bachelor’s degree in English and history from University last October. In my last year, I was still undecided between doing a master’s degree or going directly into a career, so I decided to take a year off and travel while I could. I’d heard about TEFL courses for a long time…

    I received excellent personal follow-up shortly after my exploratory browsing - including multiple telephone conversations. Killian Bukulin's client care was brilliantly timed, informative and supportive throughout my decision-making process. Thank you!

    A very positive experience with TEFL. The courses have given me the confidence to take up the challenge of teaching English to French students now that I am happily retired.

    I was thinking about taking one of the TEFL courses but I wasn’t sure which one would be the best for me. I was examining the options and at that moment my phone rang and it was Killian. He was very helpful and willing to guide me to the right choice giving me the necessary information!

    Had a great chat with Elaine, who was as equally informative as they were cordial. I highly recommend the TEFL institute for those looking to explore the field.

    I’ve had a positive experience as a Level-5 TEFL student. There are weekly zoom meetings to assist your progress, and ample chances for professional development, usually at no extra cost. Customer support—with special thanks to Lisa—is also very responsive. I recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland.

    I participated and completed the Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies with Michelle Kaufmann. It was a 10 hour online course and I had a fantastic learning experience with Michelle and the other students. Michelle was an excellent tutor and really helped me to understand and learn effectively. Thank you Michelle.

    I did the 10-hour virtual course with Michelle and really enjoyed it. She was super engaging and made the time fly. Her energy kept the group going, and she handled the class really well. We managed to cover all the key points and still had time to try out our own teaching practice and talk about our plans for our career within TEFL. As someone who has taught around the world, Michelle was able to give everyone very helpful advice about what it takes to teach in Asia, Europe, Canada...

    This was my first time participating in an online classroom setting. I expected there to be connection issues, but fortunately there were none. Clear sound, great interaction amongst fellow classmates and the host/teacher Michelle K. was really very good. Personally I think she is excellent at what she does, her tone of voice, how comfortable she made me feel as a student of TEFL, and her own experiences shared with us. I found this extremely useful. Friendly and great interpersonal people skills :)

    I contacted The TEFL Institute with. an interest in taking one of their courses. Killian Bukulin contacted my promptly and was most helpful in assisting me to decide which option was most suited to me. He supported me in my decision making without any pressure. He presented me with the different options and discussed the pros and cons of them. He was pleasant and very professional to deal with! I am delighted so far with my choice and this path! Thank you!
