What some of our past students say

  • The most thorough and helpful TEFL course in Madrid hands down. The teachers are incredibly attentive and the coursework ensures you understand what and how to teach. I was provided every material needed for the class and to succeed in the job market afterwards. If the idea of a family and a life long team who is there to support and help you after you finish your TEFL is something you want, then sign up for this course immediately. I am 100% satisfied after finishing this course- from the first day of week one to the last day of week four. The staff here goes above and beyond helping the students. I absolutely recommend this course!

  • Great experience and excellent teachers! I would definitely recommend this program to all of my friends back in the states ! The teachers not only care about your education, but your personal needs as well. They helped me get appointments for getting legal in Madrid and had a great system in assisting throughout the process. Thank you so much for a great month and a chance to meet some amazing people (:
    Brittany Scrivens
  • I did the TEFL course here in September and I can't recommend it enough. The staff are super friendly, easy to talk to and are always there to help you out - even after the course ends! The feedback they give you on your teaching is invaluable. The course itself feels really well designed and efficient. It's incredible how much you can learn in one month! I also really love the unlimited free coffee.

  • (This review is for Lifestyles program only. I had received my TEFL certificate at another school previously) Moving to Spain can be frustrating. TtMadrid makes it less so. While still in the States, Helen (from the associated language school downstairs -- LAEMadrid) walked me through the visa process. There is no way I could have completed it without her. After arriving in Spain, Rory helped me finish all the legal work. I've had more email threads with him in the past 3 months than I've had with my family in the past 3 decades. He, and the other staff at TtMadrid, were there for me every step of the process. If you want to teach in Spain legally as a non EU citizen, I cannot recommend TtMadrid highly enough!

  • I definitely recommend this course - it really prepares you for the outside teaching world! The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, really friendly and make the sessions informative and fun - owe a massive thanks to them. There was two weeks to pay the course fee after being accepted, at one point I got really nervous and I was going to opt out but on the last day I changed my again and I am SO glad I did! If you're considering it, don't hesitate - do it!
