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 30 Hour 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. The world is your oyster!

What our teachers say

Louise

An overall excellent teaching English experience in Spain. It was a cultural shock when kids would come up and hug me after class. I’m still finding my feet around matching the right level of content to the correct course. I have a presentation about Ireland once a week, and we speak and play games in class. Students are interested to learn about my culture and talk about their culture in Spain.

    I have done 2 TEFL courses with the institute. I found both the courses useful and pretty informative. I would recommend these courses for those who wish to get into the exciting world of English language teaching. Rachel Walsh has been very supportive to me throughout the 2 courses.

    I am pleased to announce I have just completed my TEFL Level 5 Advanced Diploma! The team at the TEFL Institute of Ireland are amazing and super helpful when it comes to support and advice. Rachel Walsh was particularly helpful and I think she deserves a special mention for organizing a bonus module free of charge. I would highly recommend The Institute to career changers or anyone looking to up skill. Their online delivery is smart and simple to use.

    I had a great experience in taking the 180 Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma Course. I have been working as a foreign language teacher over a decade and the course truly enriched my professional skills. The fact that it englobes the experience of working as a teacher in online and face to face classes for both young learners and adults makes this course an indispensable opportunity. I also would like to enjoy this moment to thank Rachel Walsh, the customer support advisor, who kept informed during the whole process.

No doubt, Shauna is the right person on the right place! Such a generous! She helped me to get other 3 months extension (FOR FREE!) with my course!

    I recently completed the TEFL 300 hour course which has given me a great understanding of the subject itself and teaching methodologies, lesson plans, etc. The course itself was very accessible and provides for all different types of learners. The staff are extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries or questions you may have. I would highly recommend!

    The moment I made the decision to embark on a TEFL course and teach as a volunteer in Thailand marked a turning point in my life. I eagerly searched the internet in pursuit of the best course provider, determined to find the perfect fit. Eventually, I stumbled upon the TEFL Institute of Ireland and began this incredible journey. I am filled with hope that I will soon be there, ready to start my teaching career. Undoubtedly, this experience will bring about positive changes in my life.The institute is responsible.. the courses are so interesting and practical. The people are so helpful specifically Leo and of course Emma.. I plan to take a course with you so thanks for all the help.. the price is reasonable and you can pay it in installment so you can afford it. the future is bright with the institute. Leo, Ann, Emma and Rachel, Thank you all for the help...
