Customer Feedback

Overall, very good indeed. Very intensive, especially the first day we seemed to pack a lot in to the eleven hour session. The icebreaker exercises were brilliant, the teaching practice well structured and even the fear of grammar was alleviated through the tutor's positivity.

What I enjoyed most in the course was sharing common goals, to aspire to teach english as foreign language and making the lessons fun, interesting with lots of variety.

Karen Gibbens



I thought the quality of the trainer was excellent. He provided us with need to know knowledge of teaching English as a foreign language. All activities were fun, clear and useful and he provided answers to all questions raised throughout the course. The course was informative and fun. Not once was I bored with any aspect of what we were learning. Enough time was taken on each area to understand fully the concept.
