An Amazing TEFL Experience in Madrid

Coming from Canada, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for the TEFL program in Madrid, but it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. The course was challenging, for sure, but in the best way possible. I learned so much, not just about teaching but also about myself. The trainers were super supportive and always there to give feedback or help with anything I was struggling with.

The teaching practice was definitely the highlight for me. There’s nothing like being in front of a classroom of real students to push you out of your comfort zone. By the end, I felt confident and ready to take on any classroom. Plus, Madrid was just amazing. The city has so much energy, and there’s always something to do — whether it’s trying tapas at a local bar, exploring the beautiful streets, or just hanging out at Retiro Park.

If you’re thinking about doing this program, just be prepared to put in the work. It’s not a walk in the park, but it’s worth it. You’ll leave with more than just a certificate — you’ll have amazing memories, new friends, and a lot of new skills.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Honestly, I was surprised by how much I connected with the students during teaching practice. One class even surprised me with a little thank-you card after one of our lessons. It’s little moments like that which made this whole experience so special.
Pros
  • Trainers who genuinely care and support you
  • Practical experience with real students
  • Living in Madrid and exploring everything it has to offer
Cons
  • The workload can feel heavy at times
  • Housing options could be more varied
  • I couldn't go to the beach at this time of the year

An Amazing Journey with TEFL Madrid!

As someone coming from the USA, I was excited but nervous about starting my TEFL journey in Madrid. Looking back, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The program was incredibly well-structured, and the support from the staff made the entire experience smooth and rewarding.

The hands-on teaching practice was invaluable. I walked into my first lesson unsure of myself but finished the program feeling confident and prepared. The trainers were encouraging, giving honest feedback that pushed me to improve. Madrid itself was a dream — the food, the vibrant streets, and the cultural richness made every day special.

What future participants should know is that the program is intense but absolutely worth it. Be ready to work hard and embrace the challenge. It’s not just about earning a certificate; it’s about growing as a person, building professional skills, and immersing yourself in a new culture.

For me, the best part was meeting incredible people from all over the world. The friendships I made, both with classmates and locals, added so much depth to my experience. This isn’t just a program — it’s an adventure, a stepping stone to a brighter future, and a chance to make unforgettable memories.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind and be ready to step outside your comfort zone. Embrace the intensity of the program — the more you put in, the more you’ll get out. Learn some basic Spanish before arriving; it’ll help you connect with locals and navigate day-to-day life more easily. And don’t forget to take time to explore Madrid and soak in the culture.
Pros
  • Incredible support from staff and trainers
  • Immersive teaching practice with real students
  • Living in one of the most vibrant cities in Europe
Cons
  • The workload can be challenging, especially at first
  • Limited accommodation options
  • Some teaching materials could use updates

An Unforgettable TEFL Experience in Madrid!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one I had at the TEFL Academy in Madrid. As a Brit looking for a challenge and a change of scenery, this program delivered everything I hoped for and more. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, always ready to support and guide us through what was a demanding but deeply rewarding course. The hands-on teaching practice with real students was invaluable, giving me the confidence to step into a classroom anywhere in the world.

Madrid itself added so much to the experience — from the vibrant culture to the endless tapas nights with my classmates. The balance of rigorous training and the chance to explore a stunning city made this program truly unique. Future participants should know that it’s intense, but every bit of effort pays off when you leave with your TEFL certificate and unforgettable memories.

What was your funniest moment?
During a teaching session, I was explaining common British idioms, and one student asked if "knackered" was an illness. The whole class burst into laughter, and it became a running joke throughout the rest of the lessons. It was moments like these that reminded me how rewarding and fun teaching can be!
Pros
  • Supportive and experienced instructors
  • Practical teaching sessions with local students
  • Immersion in the vibrant culture of Madrid
Cons
  • The schedule is intense — be prepared to work hard
  • Accommodation options could be improved
  • Some materials could use minor updates

An Unforgettable Learning Adventure at TEFL Academy Madrid!

If you’re considering enrolling in the TEFL Academy Madrid, let me assure you, it’s an experience like no other. My name is Hugo Coleman, and I’m from England. I completed the course in 2024, and it was one of the most transformative educational journeys I’ve ever undertaken. From the start, the support from the staff was exceptional — they were welcoming, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable.

The training sessions were engaging, and the hands-on teaching practice was invaluable. The feedback from instructors was constructive and personalized, allowing me to grow with each session. I’d especially highlight the practical teaching hours where we worked with real students. It’s one thing to learn teaching theory, but to apply it in a live classroom environment was a whole new challenge that ultimately made me a better teacher.

Madrid is a fantastic city to live in while training. The blend of rich history, delicious food, and lively culture made my free time just as memorable as my training sessions. I’d recommend future participants to explore the local tapas bars and immerse themselves in the vibrant energy of the city.

For anyone thinking of joining, I’d say don’t hesitate. You’ll not only gain an internationally recognized TEFL certification, but you’ll also make connections and memories that will last a lifetime.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments of the program was during our peer-teaching sessions. I was demonstrating a vocabulary activity and accidentally used a "British-ism" that none of the students or other trainees understood. The confusion on everyone’s faces was priceless. We all burst out laughing once I explained it, and it became a running joke for the rest of the course. It’s moments like this that remind you how fun and human the learning process can be.
Pros
  • Hands-on teaching experience with real students.
  • Supportive and knowledgeable instructors who provide tailored feedback.
  • Located in the heart of Madrid, offering an immersive cultural experience.
Cons
  • The course is intense — expect to be fully committed.
  • Housing arrangements can be tricky, so plan ahead if you’re coming from abroad.
  • Limited free time during the course due to the rigorous schedule.

The community of fellow teachers we met made the experience even more enriching, and we both felt fully prepared and supported. TEFL Madrid didn’t just give us the skills to teach; they helped us start a new life in Spain together. Highly recommended!

What was your funniest moment?
Our funniest moment was when we tried to introduce ourselves in Spanish during our first class, and Tim accidentally mixed up the words for "teacher" and "cooker." The students laughed, and it became an ongoing joke throughout the course. It was a great icebreaker and showed us that mistakes are just part of the learning process!
Pros
  • Excellent job placement assistance
  • Incredibly supportive staff
  • Comprehensive, hands-on training
Cons

100% The Best TEFL Academy ever!

My experience with TEFL Madrid Academy was nothing short of amazing! Before even completing the TEFL program, I was struggling to find job opportunities. However, thanks to the incredible support from the TEFL Madrid team, I was offered a teaching position with their sister academy, Exam Madrid, before I even graduated! The staff was always there to guide me, ensuring I had everything I needed to succeed. Now, I'm living my dream in Spain, working with multiple academies and as a private tutor. TEFL Madrid not only gave me the skills I needed but also provided me with real job opportunities right from the start. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join TEFL Madrid Academy!

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments happened during a spontaneous "Spanish slang" lesson we had with our fellow teachers. A friend and I decided to surprise our classmates by creating a mini skit that incorporated some of the quirky local slang we’d learned. We exaggerated the phrases for comedic effect, and watching our friends' reactions—especially when we used phrases like “¡Eres la leche!” (You're awesome!) in over-the-top scenarios—had everyone in stitches. It was a lighthearted way to bond and learn, and it definitely made our language lessons more memorable.
Pros
  • The program offers detailed and practical training that thoroughly prepares you for teaching English. This robust training equips you with the skills and confidence needed to excel in the classroom and adapt to various teaching environments.
  • One significant advantage of the program is the chance to gain practical classroom experience even before graduating. This early exposure to teaching allows you to apply what you’ve learned in real-world settings, build your teaching skills, and enhance
  • The program connects you with participants from all around the world, helping you build a diverse network of friends and colleagues. These connections often lead to lasting relationships and can be valuable both personally and professionally.
Cons
  • The initial training period is quite intensive, with a heavy workload and a steep learning curve. It can be overwhelming at times, especially when combined with adjusting to a new city and culture. However, this challenge is balanced by the strong support
