Mark has 13 years’ experience in EFL teaching in Spain and his native Scotland. He has been based in  Barcelona since 1998 where he has taught general and business  English to a wide variety of students including many years of patient teaching with children and teenagers, which we are told he really liked. Mark has been a tutor on the LTCL Diploma in TESOL in Barcelona since 2003 as well as TESOL Certificate courses. He divides his time between this work,his job at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and TEFL Paris.   

 As well as teaching and training he has written materials for a well-known EFL publisher but if pushed he would always say he preferred to be at the chalk-face of day-to-day teaching. Mark has a BA Degree in Business Studies and holds the LTCL Diploma in TESOL from Trinity College, London.

 Maja - Unknown Foreign Language Teacher

Unfortunately we are unable to give you much information about Maja as she teaches our highly confidential unknown foreign language sessions which trainees tell us are one of the most memorable aspects of the TEFL Certificate course.

What we can tell you, however, is that she is a competent and highly appreciated teacher and will help you understand just what it's like to be a language learner again... which will enable you to understand your own students better!
