By the end of this module, you’ll know your present continuous from your present simple tense no problem. Most of all, you’ll be familiar and confident with grammatical terms. We know that grammar can be intimidating for new teachers – it won’t be at the end of module 2!

Module Three: How to Plan Your Syllabus & Lessons

Being the best teacher you can be is down to planning. On this course you’ll get the planning techniques that will not only save you time but will ensure that your lessons run smoothly. You’ll gain students’ respect which of course is great for reviews (especially if you are teaching online).

Walter was a ray of sunshine during a very overwhelming time. The TEFL course deadline was pressing, and I was struggling to keep up with... everything due to life circumstances. Walter went above and beyond. He personally arranged for everything I needed and more to ensure I could finish my TEFL studies successfully. He was incredibly responsive and helpful, and I never felt like just another number. Thanks to Walter's personal attention, I feel confident and supported again. Huge thanksread more

I had the privilege of being a student in Michelle Benson's 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course, and I can... confidently say that it was an empowering experience. As someone with ADHD, I often struggle to stay focused and engaged during live classes. However, Michelle's teaching style captivated my attention from the very beginning! Michelle presented the course objectives in a fun and innovative way, and her ability to make even the most "boring" concepts exciting was truly inspiring. I found myself eagerly participating in discussions and activities, which is not an easy thing for me.Michelle treated every student with respect and kindness and encouraged every participant to actively participate. Her encouragement made me feel valued and motivated to excel. Her course equipped me with practical tools, ideas, and resources that I can apply directly in the classroom. One of the highlights was when Michelle taught us a few basic phrases in Amharic. I was thrilled to share this newfound knowledge with my Ethiopian friend, who laughed and corrected my pronunciation. I wholeheartedly recommend this 10-hour practical teaching course to anyone teaching or planning to teach TEFL. Whether you're a seasoned educator or a TEFL student, this course is invaluable.I can't wait to apply what I learned with my students! :)read more

Hi everyone my name is Amanda Reverol, and I just finished doing my 10 hour TEFL course with Michelle Kaufmann and it was great she was... very kind, patient, motivating and she explained and taught the course very well, she taught us to use the stress in the word like present and present like present as a gift and present as giving a lesson to others, and she also taught us past , present and future tenses like past perfect, present simple and future continuous , so overall the course was very easy to do and Ms. Michelle Kaufmann was a very nice , unique and amazing teacher.read more
