Final teaching practice
Employers will ask for varying levels of qualifications but that is the same as in any industry, some organisations look for more experienced individuals than others. However, most schools are happy to take on new teachers and there are lots of opportunities available.
Our approach
It’s hands on! During our TEFL Leeds courses, our experienced trainers explain and demonstrate where appropriate, but we make sure our students get involved as much as possible. The best way to learn to TEFL is to TEFL, so look forward to lesson planning, games, and taking part in activities created by other people on the course.
You will create your very own lessons and have the chance to teach your peers. The course will enable you to fully understand how to adapt your lessons to suit different age groups and English levels.
