Testimonials
What an enriching course! The tutors and the trainers are exceptional and really gave me the confidence and tools! I needed to get starting in teaching. It's an extremely intensive course so it's not the for the faint-hearted but well worth the investment! A great feeling of community between the students too. Thank you Sophie and Agnès.

Now that I'm quite settled in my job as an English Trainer in Paris, I've had chance to really reflect upon and appreciate my learning experiences with you and Agnes at TEFL Paris. It was immediately evident during the course that its intensive nature is essential to providing such a comprehensive experience. With hindsight, it's easy to recognise all the thought, detail and care which makes the TEFL Paris course so supportive. Once you get 'out there' into the world of English teaching, you truly appreciate the real value of this course.
I have found the TEFL Paris certificate to be like a professional 'passport'. Employers in Paris are familiar with the TEFL qualification and the Center at Tournan-en-Brie. Even during the interview stage, it helps to be able to talk the 'lingo' of the professional English Teaching world and give examples from real teaching practice experience. Once in the job, it really comes into it's own and acts as a solid foundation on which to begin an English teaching career.

It was so good that sometimes I wish I could do the course all over again!

Merci une mille fois

The theoretical side of the course provided us with a solid foundation and the necessary tools with which to begin teaching. The teaching practice was invaluable as we were able to try out the different techniques as we learned them and gave us the opportunity to experience teaching to a variety of levels. Our trainers were not only professional and experienced but also very supportive throughout the entire course which added greatly to the learning experience.
Finally, the lovely and comfortable surroundings in which we lived and worked made for a very enjoyable stay and I would not hesitate recommending this course to anyone interested in an ESL career.

I just want to thank you so much for being so wonderful to me at school and personally. You are so intuitive and caring. I miss "my room" very much. I miss the scenery. I miss the baguettes, of course! You couldn't have done more for us - to make us feel more at home. It was just lovely. Thank you for all of your encouragement and strength in believing in me as a future teacher.
Merci beucoup, Danke Schon, Grazie, Obragado, Gracias. It was truly a wonderful experience. I'll never forget it.

Love Always,

Just a quick note to say thank you for the contact with XXXX Institute. I had an interview today, and they offered me a job right away!! I haven't accepted yet, because I have another interview on Monday with a school called XXXX. I am so amazed...I sent out only 2 CVs and they both called me - I didn't even need to call them and ask for an interview. I never had any doubts that the course would be useful, but I honestly didn't expect to have a job offer less than one week after the end of the course. Thanks again.
Emma Kuskoff

Amazing - great programme! It was nice to analyse and learn the language that I already speak. I am so glad that I did it. Even if I don't end up teaching, I learned a lot from the course to take wherever I go.
Margaret Warren

The course is excellent. It can be intense at times, but the mission of turning the students into good teachers in just a month necessitates that. It was always enjoyable and everyone strives to create a cooperative work environment, carefully balancing the serious and the fun.
Mark

Even better than what I expected! I was very inspired by the style and the substance was very constructive. I now have a full toolbox that I can use in my classes!

It was also very useful to be able to test the new tools in reality! Probably one of the rare opportunities to have professional critiquing and feedback - very effective to work on just one or two points to improve at a time.
I appreciated the comments, advice, hints given before the teaching practice... often a little something that made a big difference. So in the future, when planning a lesson, I shall ask myself: What would Sophie and Agnès say?
I've met exceptional people, the team spirit was excellent, very friendly atmosphere. The working conditions are exceptionally good in beautiful surroundings in a small group. I had to give 200% of myself, but it was very rewarding and fun!
Céline Paul

It truly was a great experience. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and to help us to adjust to life in France.
Better than I could even have hoped for.
Adam Burnett

"What would I have done had I been put in front of a class without having sat this course?" Probably just stared and blubbered for an entire lesson!

This course is probably the best decision I have taken in regards to my aspirations of becoming an English teacher. It was an eye-opener for me; I learnt so many things during this one month that would probably have taken a life-time of errors and trials to learn.

Armed with this invaluable TEFL Certificate, I am ready to take on the challenges, highs and lows of the teaching world!

TEFL Paris is a wonderful experience. You will meet other trainees from all over the world and become friend with them. The trainers will train you for any possible situation that could occur in your future teaching career. You will discover your reativity, strengths and talent here.

Be prepared for a serious but rewarding commitment. Teaching staff is extremely encouraging and open your eyes to several perspectives of both teaching and learning. They prepare you well for teaching various ages as well. (children and adults).
Sarah Paschke

I would absolutely recommend this course to prospective students. It is an intense and very thorough course to prepare new teachers for the world of English teaching. With extensive methodology and grammar lessons as well as significant teaching practice and observation. If you come in with no prior experience, you will leave ready to get up in front of the class and speak with enthusiasm. I was very pleased, also with the experienced and supportive trainers. This was an excellent course choice- and it was fun, too !
Stephanie Tofte

The classes were very well structured. Sophie is an amazing teacher who enjoys what she does and does it with an art and joy that are impressive ; a good role model for what everyone of us should strive to achieve. The school is in a calm, beautiful environment which allows for the intensive learning experience. The detail and attention are very invaluable. I felt very well attended to.
Colum Morgan

The teachers are excellent, thorough and very professional. You will have a sense of achievement when you finish the course. The course is fun, students work together and the group evolves as a whole. Come ready for a challenge and ready to devote a month to growth. You won't regret it !
Scott Nagle

I really enjoyed the course.  The programme is very well designed, spreading the various subjects (methodology, grammar, practical...) over the 4 weeks - lots of advice, examples (teacher was a live example - use as a model!). Studying all aspects of teaching and levels (1-to-1, children, business) = complete course.

I found it a very enriching experience to be able to see (and sometimes participate) in the other students' lessons. it is also essential to have the 'debriefing' sessions at the end of each teaching practice session to allow improvements.  Thank you both! You helped me to surpass myself - be more confident in speaking in front of people, etc. You are so encouraging that it made me really want to go forward. You are both very professional in the way everything was organised! It was a very enriching experience: I would definitely recommend this course! Thank you Agnès for your immense support!

TEFL Paris is not your average English teacher training course, but so much more. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Tournan – Sophie and Agnes were excellent and very supportive throughout. The training comprises of a complete immersion into the TEFL world and offers an in-depth course leaving the graduate with a wide skill base and the confidence to teach in a variety of settings. The course is not for the faint hearted, we were teaching students from day three! The program is held in a lovely setting – so even if you are stressed and up to your eyes with lesson planning – you can take a deep breath – and let the peaceful surroundings calm you down!
I had two job interviews for teaching positions in Paris; I was offered both jobs and this was before the course had even ended!
If you are looking for a TEFL course that offers much more than the standard, you have absolutely found it here.
Thank you again Sophie and Agnès for your support.

I have nothing but praise for the TEFL Paris course. The school in Tournan is a wonderful place to study and live: it's right in the middle of a park with fruit trees and a big sky overhead. 

Of course, there is also the light and dazzle of Paris; but be forewarned that due to the intensive pace of the course you will probably only be in Paris on weekends and selected evenings. 

The class itself is great. You will be busy but not too busy; for me it was the right balance between rigor and relaxation. The trainers are real experts who will go out of their way to help you. And best of all, after the month is over and done with, you will have met people whose friendship you will want to hold on to the way one holds on to a lovely memory.

TEFL Paris has been a phenomenal experience : I made great friends, learned a lot and most importantly had a blast !

Memorable experience ! It was one of those life changing experiences or as I would say "a fork in the road... and you simply take it !"
