AFTER ALL, HOW CAN YOU BECOME A TEFL TEACHER IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD SOME REAL CLASSROOM PRACTICE?
WHEN YOU GO FOR YOUR FIRST INTERVIEW, IT'S PROBABLY THE FIRST QUESTION THAT YOU WILL BE ASKED.
'HOW MUCH TEACHING PRACTICE HAVE YOU COMPLETED, HOW MANY HOURS HAVE YOU SPENT IN A CLASSROOM? HAVE YOU TAUGHT ADULTS, HAVE YOU TAUGHT CHILDREN?' ETC.
YOU'LL NEED AN HONEST AND AUTHENTIC REPLY.
WITHOUT ACTUAL CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT A SCHOOL WILL OFFER YOU A JOB IN TEFL, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
AFTER ALL, WOULD YOU ALLOW SOMEONE INTO A CLASSROOM WITH ZERO CLASS TIME EXPERIENCE?.
OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T.

This is what a few of our past students now working have said: -
'The clarity of the explanations helped me to comprehend the role of the TEFL tutor, the mini assignments kept me involved and all the resources available to me were a godsend''.
