Student teacher testimonials

Dale Faustin

"This course was quite challenging. I've never taught English before and was nervous about starting out in Mexico then teaching later in Costa Rica.
The instructors did an excellent job of helping me through the lessons and theory and great feedback during the classes I taught helped me to improve.
Teachers Latin America showed me several jobs offers in Costa Rica as..." more...

Paul Harkins

"The Teachers Latin America course was definitely intensive. It took over my life for two weeks, although I did find time to visit some of the amazing museums Mexico City has to offer.

The most valuable skills that I learned from my instructor were how to prepare for a class, with or without course material provided by a school, and how to interact with students during a class. At the end of the two weeks I felt confident and prepared to teach.

I was immediately able to use the information I learned in the course to use, as Teachers Latin America helped me to obtain a job in Villahermosa, Tabasco. I use the teaching resources CD that I was given on an almost daily basis, as it provides a wide variety of grammar explanations and material for classes." more...

"The TEFL course I did with TLA was really impressive. My course instructor is one of the best instructors I've ever had- he's very competent and knowledgeable about his professional field as well as the actual practice of teaching English, incredibly helpful, and a cool person with great mentoring skills. more...

An-Ling Taaffe

"The TEFL course I took with Teachers Latin America has given me the knowledge and resourses to confidently begin working as an EFL Teacher here in Mexico City. The resourse materials were very comprehensive and prepared me for receiving my first students. The staff of TLA have always proven to be very helpful with making contacts with schools to attain work, as well as being very friendly and fabulous for class resource information and ideas. more...

Erik Roper

"While going through the course in Mexico I was in contact
with friends who are teachers back in the States and when I told them what I was studying they told me it sounded like a graduate studies level of curriculum. I think anyone that comes to Mexico ready to study hard for two weeks can pass this course and will then have a strong theoretical and practical foundation which will allow them to hit the ground running in Mexico as an English teacher."

What's a TEFL Internship like? Check out a recent Mexico City intern's summary.

Everyone at the school has made me feel really welcome and they have treated me as a colleague from day 1. Week 1 - observation with 4 different teachers, at all levels, then concentrating on basics and pre-intermediates with Angel and Roxanna.
Danni arranged staff training form 11-1 each day so I had an opportunity to go through the steps of lesson, relaxation exercises, material, teaching structures etc. This was really useful. Conversation club on Thursday was fun and allowed a little more flexibility for discussion than the very rigid structure in the 4 week courses. Speaking assessment of a new student. More...
