Customer Feedback

The trainer was very good.

Emma Partridge


The trainer was excellent. I thought the course gave a great insight into the world of teaching and a broad view of language both of English and of other nationalities. I enjoyed learning whilst on this course about the directions that TEFL can take you, and learning the art of good teaching.

John Symms, 2009


The trainer was excellent. She put things across in an interesting and clear way. She made the course fun and very engaging.
It was an excellent intro into teaching English- it gave me lots of ideas and lots of things to think about.

Stuart Lawson


The trainer was really good. He had loads of energy, was very friendly and made the course good fun. The course was great. I feel I learnt loads and really have a good basis for teaching english now. I got lots of good ideas for teaching activities.
