I already had a Masters in Education before doing the TEFL program at The Language House. And, let…read moreme tell you, this 1 month of hands-on training was more valuable than 2 years worth of studying pedagogy. If you are looking for a fun, fast way to learn how to be a great teacher: this. is. it. Plus, you'll meet life-long friends and get to explore one of the most charming cities on earth. If you are thinking about doing it...do it. : ) You won't regret it.

I signed up for the four week intensive course to get my TEFL certificate (which had been…read morerecommended by several friends as the best way to teach English and one of the most recognised certifications globally). I was expecting a 9 - 5 scenario of turning up, getting a book to read and going home... Little did I realise that The Language House TEFL in Prague has trained over 3000 graduates and had their training down to a fine art. It required a lot of work, but that the trainers and staff were there to help out every step of the way offering to go the extra mile if ever I needed clarification or help with anything, for example lesson planning. By the end of the course I had learned so much and feel I am ready to teach English at all levels from private tutoring to a 30 students at once. They also offer housing and job assistance (from hints on your CV, being a reference, or just pointing you in the right direction). I honestly haven't met a group of people more passionate about what they do and so willing to help you have the best, most exciting time teaching abroad. As a bonus The Language House TEFL is located right in the middle of the historic part of Prague, which makes it a great place to experience this amazing city and a life (changing) experience you'll never forget.
