120h Online Oxbridge TEFL Course in Spain + Teaching Practice & Job

I took the online TEFL course offered by Oxbridge during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was fantastic! The company perfectly adapted the TEFL course into an online version, and it turned out to be amazing! Firstly, the material is easily accessible through the company's inner website, which allowed me to access it every time I needed to have a look at the material. Then, the lessons with my TEFL trainer were both fun and interesting, making them as a discussion rather than as a one-way learning, which I appreciate a lot since I could participate and give my opinion on several topics throughout the course. It goes without saying that both the class observations and the teaching practice enabled me to further improve my teaching skills and get started in my teaching career. Lastly, I am already started with the company, having signed my contract already!! Everything is underway. I can't be happier about having taken this course, it is absolutely worth it! I highly recommend it!

I completed the TEFL in the summer of 2019 with Graeme as my professor. It was a great experinced and im grateful i did because of what I learned and what i have now. He was very hands on in getting all the information i needed straight forward; helped me realize how fun teaching was with Oxinity where i work at now with Graeme. His teaching method helped me obtain the tool to the kind of teacher i want to be, and keep progressing to. He managed to teach a picky learner like me, i felt like I was in the right place the moment we had our interview. He is a huge contributor to Oxinity, hes a leader in this community of teachers, and hes helped so man English teachers in Oxintiy into being part of this amazing community right here in Barcelona. 10/10 experience with him as my profesor, highly recommend!

My TEFL course in Madrid, led by Professor Graeme Bell, was nothing short of great. Graeme is a true expert in his field, creating a rigorous, deeply interesting, and most importantly super enjoyable space for us -his students- to learn the ins and outs of English language teaching techniques, methodologies, and approaches.

During our 4-week course, we met with Graeme four times a week as a group, while he also took the time to have personalized, one-on-one meetings with each of us, to help us develop further as future English teachers. He is personable, extremely knowledgeable about the theory of English language, and most importantly, a great communicator and teacher himself. He took us through the ropes with rigor, but also with tons of enjoyment.

I highly recommend this course led by Graeme Bell to anyone who is looking to become TEFL certified.

Excelent course for those who want to get into teaching. This course is Intensive but doable.
Great teachers and materials. You will have to do some of it on your own (mostly reading) so when you go to class you can discuss and digest the information provided.

I reccomend this course 100% also because it has a quite competitive PRICE
If you need help from the teachers you can always reach them and they are always willing to help.
Graeme Bell is a great teacher, he encourages students to shape their own teaching style after you have learned the theory.

After you have finish the the theory you can then do teaching practice supervised by experienced teachers that will guve you feedback. This is quite handy if you are a bit nervous before you teach for the first time, it boosts your confidence as a teacher and will let you test all you have learned over the course.

When it comes to teaching there's always a doubt in ourselves, despite the fact that we've all been taught before. However, with that course, everything was straight, simple and motivating. The combination of practice and theory was amazingly well balanced. My teacher became also a mentor, a person who was always there for me, motivating me when I needed and giving me the confidence that everybody need when they are trying something that they haven't done before. Sometimes all that it takes is a little push, and I got that form the organization and the teacher. I believe now I'm a much confident man and a good teacher, who knows how to approach a class and how to identify if the students have learned correctly the information given in the class. Because overall, they are the main reason we teach.

I completed the course in person in Barcelona, the course is thoroughly taught and very engaging. Guidance is given at every step and you are supported throughout and always encouraged to ask questions and voice any concerns or problems you’re having. Although being very comprenshive the course is delivered in a relaxed environment and isn’t too overfacing... even when discussing grammar. The teaching practice gives you really valuable experience and introduces you naturally to the rhythm of teaching even if you have no experience. You are also given a full induction into the teaching system and guidance on how to create interesting activities for students. Even if you decide not to peruse teaching after a short while the skills taught on the course are great assets and the material is very stimulating. Special mention to Graeme in Barcelona, our course leader who consistently made the experience fresh and thought-provoking! :)

As someone who was going back into teaching, this course was very useful for me. I learnt about a lot of different teaching methodologies and I was given the chance to apply it in my TEFL classroom, as well as in a real English lesson, where I had the support of an experienced teacher.

The lessons themselves were interesting and well structured, with everyone welcomed to participate and activities which made a lot of sense.

Overall, I think anyone finishing this course will have obtained the experience and confidence necessary to start teaching their own class.

I would recommend this course whether you have some prior teaching experience or not, highlighting also the helpfulness of the staff in regards to finding your first students after the course is over.

I took the course with Graeme and It was just what I needed to get the knowledge and certificate to become an English teacher. He helped me all the way and taught me the materials in a super practical and easy way. Even though I had some schedule issues, It was no problem to reschedule some classes and adapt them to my needs, even for the practical part where you have to be the one teaching (always helped by a senior teacher).
He was always very understanding with my situation and tried to make It easy for me (as I was still studying when I took the course).
Our classes were always super instructive and enjoyable since he always finds a way to make It fun and interesting for each student. You'll see how time flies!

Great value for money, and very supportive teachers.
