A formidable experience

Feb 27, 2014

Hello, I have just finished the one month Tefl course in Paris and I would like to tell you that it was a fantastic experience. I felt it was quite intensive as I had no previous background experience in the teaching world, nonetheless, it was extremely interesting. The course was given by a teacher who was very professional and experienced and who devoted a lot of time to the individual needs of the students.This was great for me because I feel that I have really progressed in my understanding of English. One major strength of the course was the teaching practice, it was really a great opportunity to put into practice what we learned. Now that the corse is finished, all I can say is " fantastic, brilliant", I enjoyed every minute of it, even though I missed out on a lot of sleep. I would strongly recommend the Tefl centre in Paris to anyone who is considering a career teaching.

What would you improve about this program?
It would be interesting if a program was put in place for those who come to learn English. It would be of immense help to the participants of the course.

Highly recommended!

Feb 3, 2014

How strongly I would recommend this course to anyone aiming at EFL teaching.!! The instructor and Director of the Centre is a high professional, with great experience and a very mature approach, all in all making the course, although very intensive, so enjoyable. I personally learnt a lot, and am so grateful for it. All students came from very different backgrounds and contributed to a great enriching experience! In one word, I loved it and would definitely recommend it at 200%!! I am now much more confident and am starting my new career (and my new business) as a Teacher with excellent full preparation. so, just go for it!!

What would you improve about this program?
It might indeed be even more useful to have more students attending the trainee lessons, in order to practice the teaching with larger groups.

Paris Course

Feb 2, 2014

Hi i did the TEFL course in Paris , in January 2014 , when i joined the course i did not realy know what to expect since i was doing an english course in Paris and did not have a lot of acedemic experience . The overall experience was great , our teacher was very experienced in teaching , it was clear that he had handled various different types of situations in the teaching world , and that even though we were all from very different backgrounds he could relate the course to each one of us.

We were 6 students from very different back grounds in education , and we all had very different golas in participating for the course, some of us wanted to travel , others wanted to see if they could be teachers , and some wanted to teach in TEFL schools for small children.

He was able to reach out to each of us , and focus the course according to each ones skills .

The teaching experience that we had to do by the second week of the course realy gies you a feel of being a teacher , while the teacher gives you all the material on how to get organised and do a lesson plan.

At the end of the month we had each done 8 hours of teaching adults and we all felt that yes we can teach englis in TEFL schools .

Sincerly

What would you improve about this program?
Start focusing on Grammar and phonatics a bit earlier , spread it out a bit , so it does not have to be such a concentarted lesson , and could be easier to learn.

January TEFL course in Paris

Jan 30, 2014

I warmly recommand this program. It takes place in the very center of Paris, in a cosy place.
The teacher emphazise on both fluency and accuracy and as many as 8 hours of teaching experiences is included. This provides a real and concrete experience of what teaching implies. The feedbacks we get after the teaching exercices are precise and of much help for my furure job as a TEFL teacher in Turkey.
Other students come from different countries and cultural background, creating an inspiring experience in itself.
The phonetic and the grammar lessons are of easy reach and they definitly will be reused for my forecoming teaching job.
All in all, just great !

What would you improve about this program?
More students in the teaching experiences would have been even better to create even more role plays amongst students.

Is there assistance provided to help students find employment?

Yes, there is. Our program in Paris, as all of our programs, comes with an excellent career support . Not only do we help students to prepare a CV/resume and cover letter, we provide them with school addresses in Paris or all around France. We also supply our graduates with actual job leads which we receive from schools in Paris or in other parts of France on an almost daily basis. We even provide...

Sophie Priso

Program
120-Hour TEFL|TESOL Certification in Paris, France

Why did you choose this program?

I have been a FSL (French as a Second Language) teacher for awhile now and figured that it would be much more practical that I teach English (my native tongue) in French schools. I have lots of experience teaching but desired to have a little more experience teaching in English specifically before I start teaching it at the beginning of this school year. I searched for programs I could complete in my home city, Paris, and that's how I found TEFL. It looked like a wonderful program, and it did not disappoint!

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

Seeing as I am already a Paris resident, I didn't actually require any help organizing things that most students needed (for example: plane tickets, SIM cards, lodging, budgeting, transport options, dining options, communication in the foreign language, etc). Because of my lack of need in this area, I don't have a personal story to tell, though I know that the professor of this class, Steven Jacobson, was incredibly helpful to many of my classmates when it came to organization and pre-departure.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

Be open to the experience! I think you can get a ton out of this class if you are really willing to put yourself out there. I can be a pretty shy person, and during this class, I really tried to venture out of my comfort zone. I am so grateful I did! There are many opportunities for observation, teaching, and discussing,

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

During the week:

  • Monday-Thursday are spent in the classroom (10AM-5PM, but this can go longer).
  • Friday morning: Time out of class is meant to be dedicated to preparing lesson plans.
  • Evenings/Week-ends: Depending on how efficient one is during the week, the course will occasionally call for minor preparation in "non-class" time.
  • Homework: You have to do write-ups of observations, course lessons, and evaluations.
  • The fourth week: You will have three online final exams, they each take about thirty minutes and these are done during class time. The material is covered in class and in a manual given to students before the class starts.

Daily Schedule:

  • 10AM-1PM: Preparation, group discussion, teaching.
  • 1PM-2PM: Lunch.
  • 2:15PM-4:00PM: Teaching.
  • 4:00PM-5:00PM: Discussion and review of the day.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

This question doesn't apply to me, so I can't really answer it. However, I will say, don't be afraid to do this program if you don't know Paris or don't speak the language! Steven Jacobson, the professor, is an American. He is very friendly and willing to help with anything that may seem overwhelming! Plus, Paris is a pretty global city, and it won't be too hard to find someone who speaks English, Spanish, or German, so if you speak at least one of those languages, going to Paris without a word of French is definitely plausible!

Any last piece of advice for prospective students?

Don't be disillusioned by the communication with the New York office! Before you arrive in Paris, you will be in communication almost exclusively with them. I legitimately thought TEFL Paris was a scam because communication with the New York office was so terrible. However, your problems with them will be worth it once you arrive in Paris; the end result is worth the original struggle, promise! ;)
