Mid Tesol

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences As the 60 hours, TESOL course is coming to an end, I have started to think back to my first teaching experience. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Joyce C. When I was a university student, I decided that it was a good idea for me to find part-time work as an English tutor or teachers assistant so I could get the first-hand experience in teaching. I began teaching a 9-year-old girl who attended the local school in Hong Kong. Her name is Charmaine. Her mother was concerned about her English writing abilities, as she often made grammar and spelling mistakes during homework and tests which caused her grades to suffer. Charmaine was quite shy and her self-confidence had been damaged due to...  [Read more]

As the most populous city and the capital of the state of Utah, Salt Lake City has plenty to offer trainees taking a tefl/tesol training course. Famous as the home of the Mormon Church, the city is also well known as a center for outdoor activities, a reputation that was greatly enhanced when it hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 2002. Since then, Salt Lake City has seen a dramatic rise in visitors who are keen to experience the fantastic conditions and facilities for winter sports in the area, as well as the natural beauty of the region through hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing.

Known throughout the world for its influence on music, film, fashion, art, finance, education and, as the home of the United Nations, its importance in politics and diplomacy, the magnificent city of New York truly is a global city. Due to all its many influences, as well as its seemingly endless list of sights and attractions, New York is one of the world’s most visited cities and one of the most popular destinations for completing a tefl/tesol training course. Although the first European settlement in the area goes back around 400 years, it wasn’t until the mid 19th century that New York City really started to boom.

  Our course in Chiapas de Corzo is located in the south of mexico. It also borders Guatemala and flanks the Pacific Ocean.

The summary is accurate but the town is overlooked by most tourists—which is great for sustaining authentic local customs. Our center is in a small town but we’ve got big plans for all trainees who take our course. On the weekends you can tour up a nearby mountain to San Cristobal. The town is home to ancient ruins and beautiful lakes. For those who wish to take a longer trip, the world-renowned Mayan ruins of Palenque are only a seven-hour drive away from Chiapas de Corzo. Day trips to waterfalls such as El Chorreadero and El Chiflon are also great options....  [Read more]
