Please read the testimonials from our former students. You may also contact them via email for further information on their experiences with Costa Rica TEFL:

“I loved all the interactive games/activities made the subject matter interesting and enjoyable. I enjoyed learning from Barbara and Julia you guys are awesome teachers, very talented. I learned a ton. I have definitely become a better teacher. I am more organized; I have lots of activities to use and a wider knowledge on learning as a whole. I feel ready and prepared to be an EFL teacher. The course exceeded my expectations; it was intensive but I learned so much and feel like a much stronger teacher. The material was very interesting and the classroom resources were great. I feel like I can use these skills for many different jobs and social situations. Thanks for all your hard work!'

'I enjoyed the teaching styles and attitudes of the instructors. Everything was always very enthusiastic as well as very, very interactive. For students, things were kept interesting and dynamic each day. I have benefitted quite a bit as far as teaching and teaching styles. A part from that, I have become more comfortable and confident throughout the course as far as my teaching goes. I had a great time with the course and learned a great deal more than I expected. I definitely couldn't have been in a better location for this training!'

“All of the creative activities were fun and useful so we can use them in our classrooms too. I have built the confidence necessary to teach English on my own!”

'I have gained a huge amount of confidence in my teaching ability and the structure (steps to mastery) has really been a benefit in giving me a solid structure which I know will enable me to perform alone. I've also benefitted in ways I didn't expect, Eg. living with other students. I enjoyed the entire course!'

'Everything was so clear and well planned that I'm sure I didn't just memorize but instead learned things I will never forget. I enjoyed the feedback, the attitudes, the smiles and I seriously enjoyed every minute of the entire program. Keep doing what you guys are doing, you rock!'

'I was forced to learn how to be a more creative thinking teacher by developing themes and activities. I really liked being in Samara. The school is in a super location. The teacher trainers were positive and gave great feedback. Barbara gave me super individual support lining up interviews, making contacts and preparing me for the job prospects and future!'
