Maya - Unknown Foreign Language Teacher
Unfortunately we are unable to give you much information about
Maya 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!
Eloise - Assistant Teacher
Eloise is a school teacher in the French national education system and gives one of the demonstration lessons (the other is given by Sab) as well as helping out on critiquing and other aspects of the course from time to time.
