The support from the team is wonderful. Everyone is really passionate about being there and preparing us to be the best teachers we can be. Having no formal teacher training and even less grammar coming from the USA, I was a bit nervous to say the least, but the teacher trainers here are very patient and knowledgeable and helped me to feel comfortable throughout the course. They made learning the scary stuff that much easier!

I'm really glad I did this program.

The whole course was great and I was especially happy about the career guidance provided during the course. Michael played an integral part in helping me to find work. His group classes provided in-depth details for finding work locally and internationally and gave detailed breakdowns between teaching private and academy classes. He took the time to help me improve my CV and provided me with essential contacts for sending out my CV to for work. He even took the time to meet with me after the course was completed to provide me with more guidance that has helped me find work in Barcelona. I applaud Michael's work ethic and the amount of time he puts in to helping his students succeed outside of the course to find work. I continue to speak with him as I find him to be a helpful asset as a teacher and friend.

“I must say I NEVER thought I would have such a wonderful teaching experience as I did in January of 2011!  It started with my living arrangements with a wonderful person who has become my life-long friend in Barcelona.  I had the fortunate experience of learning with 11 energetic and supportive classmates (half my age).  The classes were very well organized and the teachers all had AMAZING teaching skills, and so excited to share their creativity and anecdotes they've experienced. The living and classroom experience gave me a confidence level I never knew I could achieve.  I attribute my success in the course  to my classmates and teachers who were wonderfully supportive with our assignments, our preparation for the future and the classroom teaching experiences EVERYDAY for the two week students.  The students we taught were wonderful and endearing and I loved the student evaluation time that was given after every teaching session.  The evaluating teachers were so supportive and thorough with their feedback of your skills that you could only improve with each experience.  They answered every question and gave you everything you needed to be successful.  I took this class to plan for my retirement in 4 years to enable me to travel and supplement my trips with a job.  In the meantime, I will be teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) at night to keep all that I learned fresh in my head.  I loved the experience for me but I also understand the ultimate value of doing this in your younger years.  Your world expands tremendously and allows you to appreciate other cultures and enjoy learning everything new around you.  I have promoted this course to my children, colleagues and friends.  Thank you all for a life-long wonderful experience I will NEVER forget.”

“The friendly and inviting learning environment which Lisa created. The relaxed atmosphere in both the classroom and college facilities meant that my learning and experience of the course was to optimum standard. I feel that everyone benefits from this set up, from us as students to the local people who come in for free lessons. The nature of this set up means that the students being taught by ourselves are patient and grateful. This ultimately boosts confidence and enables us as new teachers to feel comfortable in this otherwise alien scenario.”
