I have recently completed my180 180-hour TEFL course with Laura Graham. The course itself was quite fine; the assignments, assignment... control, and grading were acceptable in both the content asked and the answering speed. I only ask if they could add a part for "teaching young learners, or business English which are important parts of teaching English. I thank everyone who helped me, and wish them well.read more
