It is still possible to get great paying jobs overseas as long as you can demonstrate your ability and LACK OF ACCENT when teaching. Don't let your passport limit your potential. Talk to me.

ALTERNATIVES TO INTENSIVE?


Yes! it is possible to do a combined, in person and Skype-based course, however, it will take longer than the three weeks. Usually, tailor-made to your schedule and time restrictions.

What IS Included in your course:

Your course will include everything that you will need to master your this subject. Course materials are written to the highest standard and advice is always available from your tutor.

Included:

  • Full course materials
  • Personal tutor
  • Support 7 days a week during your course
  • Unlimited time for completion of the course (ONLINE VERSION ONLY)
  • Reference from your personal tutor
  • Careers advice
  • Help with CV guidance- interviews - job search
  • Connection to recruitment agencies in Mexico - T-Chrs4PV
  • Free guide to TEFL
  • Study skills
  • Resources 
  • Student activities during the course. eg. Field trips to the Pyramids (Additional payment for the transportation)  or the famous historical parts of the city
  • Post-course support

What is NOT Included:

  • Accommodation (We can assist in recommending nearby hotels or hostels)
  • Meals
  • Stationary and materials you need to create your lesson plans and teaching materials
  • Local transport
  • Air flights
  • Airport pickup and drop off. (This can be arranged at a small additional surcharge)
nb: This is tailor-made for the specific group of students in attendance. There is a maximum of FOUR students in a class and generally only 3. This outline is provided as a guide only.

Starting for your third day you will be working with real students on a 1:1 basis. During these interactions, you will be supervised and debriefed after the lesson with learning points to improve your teaching skills.

Personal chemistry is an essential part of being a successful English teacher when working abroad. Being sensitive to cultural variations whilst still delivering the best form of English language teaching is what will set you apart for the rest. I value this part of the course as our flagship section.

Academics is one aspect however equally important is your ability to TEACH and to interact and motivate your students. You will be taught how to motivate even the most stubborn of students and to provide them with quality and fun English classes.
