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.

    Have just enrolled a few days ago in the 300 hours course so it's early days yet on my TEFL journey, but so far so good. Sincere thanks to Elaine in the enrollment section of the TEFL Institute who was a pleasure to deal with. She was extremely helpful and responsive in providing information about the different types of courses, as well as guidance on which course(s) would be the most useful and suitable for me, as well as providing various other guidance on the ins and outs of undertaking a TEFL course.

    I'm editing this review as I have since finished the course.This is a very solid course, with plenty of material and resources. I have yet to begin teaching, but I do feel well prepared by all which the 180 hour course provided, including activities and games, advice on classroom management, advice on teaching styles and methods etc.There are weekly zoom classes which one can join though there is no in-person element to the course which I purchases when it comes to the actual teaching.I found the team at the TEFL Institute to be extremely friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. I spoke with Tracy in the chat on their website and had all my questions answered.They have an option to have a phone call with an advisor, and I spoke with Sórcha O' Connell. She really helped me figure out what course would be best for my specific situation, as I was trying to find something that would give me qualifications to work abroad in Europe.

    I have completed the 10 hour TEFL course which includes teaching practice. I am really satisfied with the knowledge and materials I gained. The instructor, Michelle Benson, is amazing and super supportive. She not only presented the information, but also gave some valuable insights.

    Just completed a 2-day TEFL training course with Michelle Kaufmann and it was fantastic! Michelle was super friendly, made the sessions very comfortable, and explained everything really clearly. She answered all our questions and kept things interactive. I’d highly recommend this training to anyone wanting to start a career in TEFL.

    Completed the 30 hour teaching online certificate. Great way to learn about the difference between teaching online and traditional classroom lessons. Detailed course which supplements its teachings with many examples of lesson plans and activities. Very helpful description of different online teaching platforms and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as discussing the potential of freelance work.

    Sórcha was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in explaining the different options I had when it came to choosing a course, she was also very accommodating when I needed an extension to complete the course.

    I had an incredible experience at the TEFL Irish Institute and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get certified. The staff are absolutely fantastic especially Sórcha, who genuinely supports me a lot and helps me when I need– I am taking some courses such as 180 hours of TEFL. The courses themselves were incredibly well-structured, covering everything from classroom management to lesson planning. I feel fully prepared to step into the world of teaching English abroad, and the practical training really prepares participants for success.
