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.

Árbol de la ansiedad

Image
Árbol de la ansiedad (Psic. Fabiola Cuevas) Les comparto una explicación didáctica de lo que es la ansiedad a través de un árbol. Te cuento cuál es su origen y qué son las cosas que la aumentan. Espero que les ayude para entenderse mejor. La Tierra fértil donde se da la ansiedad es el miedo, donde se pueden dar raíces de creencias (distorsionadas) que con el tiempo se convierte en estrés. Este estrés puede ser pequeño y manejable como pequeñas plantitas, o bien, crecer a un tronco más robusto que ya sería la ansiedad, esto depende de qué tanto reguemos (aumentando) nuestras creencias distorsionadas. El riego, el agua que le da vida a la ansiedad está compuesto por experiencias de abuso y trauma, por tener un patrón de comportamiento hacia el control, la resistencia y el perfeccionismo, por comportarnos con los demás bajo el esquema de co-dependencia, obsesionándonos y acumulando emociones, negando y evitando los problemas y distorsionando la realidad por nuestra baja autoestima

Until You Have Better Work Habits, Productivity Apps Are Useless

Until You Have Better Work Habits, Productivity Apps Are Useless "Being busy does not always mean real work.The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”  — Thomas A. Edison According to a recent McKinsey report, today’s workforce spends 61% of their time managing work rather than doing it. That’s insane. We can do better than that. There are hundreds, if not thousands of apps that promise to make you work smarter, better and even faster. A quick glance at the productivity section of any app store reveals thousands of options for various email, to-do, calendar, notes, workflow, and everything else apps. Many people spend a lot of productive time shifting between apps everyday without getting significant work done. The bitter truth is, until you have better work habits, that insanely great productivity app can’t

You Were Born To Thrive, Not To Play It Safe In Your Comfort Zone

You Were Born To Thrive, Not To Play It Safe In Your Comfort Zone The Obstacle Is the Way “ My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.”  — Maya Angelou We are born to thrive, not to play it safe in our comfort zone. We avoid failure because it weakens our self-esteem — although failure is a prerequisite for success. How do you feel about this statement? What emotions come up as you contemplate its meaning? That is where you need to spend more time exploring your deepest self. Ask any entrepreneur or adventurer, and they will tell you failure is essential. However, I do not wish to embellish this article with positive psychology to make you feel good. So let’s cut to the truth since something drew you here, whether by accident or as a regular reader. For many, surviving means getting through the daily grind, only to endure the same battles over again. This is not living because we are need
