Costa Rica TEFL is a program designed to help you discover your own potential as an individual and as an English teacher. The staff were extremely professional and personable while instructing throughout the day and night. They were available and ready to provide beneficial feedback that allowed for me to carry out more concise lessons and to create a better classroom environment. The director of the program, Barbara, met one on one with each student for job placement assistance. She listened carefully to where each student would like to be placed and what kind of teaching experience we were looking for. She helped me land my dream job, teaching EFL in a coastal town in Costa Rica! Thank you as well to my teacher trainer's, Vanessa and Margaret. Both teacher trainers were so respectful in a process that can sometimes seem quite intimidating. The group of students in our session came from all different ages and countries. It was very interesting to hear and to view their diverse teaching methods and experiences. Thank you to Costa Rica TEFL for an incredible learning experience!
Costa Rica TEFL created an inviting and safe space that allowed me to not only learn creatively but strategically and practically. I loved all the different games we learned to teach our students and I feel confident knowing that if I go anywhere in the world I have the skillet necessary to create a lesson plan even with limited materials. The location is prime right on the beach in guanacaste. I felt supported through every step of my training and I highly recommend Costa Rica TEFL for your teaching certification.
I took the TEFL course November 2014, and it was such a good experience. The teachers were patient and helpful about everything. The town was beautiful and relaxing too. Lots of friends were made and lots of things were learned. I really loved this experience.
If you're currently looking for a TEFL course to complete abroad, I highly recommend you choose Costa Rica TEFL. With its close proximity to the beach, excellent Teacher Trainers, and helpful staff, it's the ideal place to get TEFL/TESOL certified. I completed my TEFL certification in January of 2017 and it was the best thing I have ever done. I made so many new friends from all around the world and gained invaluable experience abroad. The Founder and Director, Barbara Miller, is also extremely helpful with finding jobs upon completion of the course. In addition, she will always be there to help her TEFL graduates get jobs in the future.
This is an incredible company and course. The curriculum, instructors, and practice teaching experience guarantee that you will leave the program feeling confidant and ready to teach no matter your prior level of experience. The location is amazing - beautiful beaches, jungle, wildlife, and culture. The job placement assistance can’t be beat either. The teachers and Director, Barbara, really work smart to help every student secure teaching jobs not only in Costa Rica, but worldwide. I can’t say enough good things about Costa Rica TEFL. If you are considering, just make the commitment to yourself and DO IT!
