Testimonials:

"We both attended the TLC TEFL course in Florence in summertime. We went there single, knowing nothing about English as a language and nothing about teaching. By the end of the month we had met each other, felt confident and comfortable in the classroom and had made a lot of new friends. We owe a lot to TLC not least because it is where we met, but also it gave us a great foundation as teachers which we have utilized in several jobs since leaving. From being observed and observing others time and time again since leaving TLC, we appreciate the teaching we received more and more because it has given us a head start over so many other teachers. This has allowed us to teach successfully in Italy and China, where we have been able to see some amazing sights together. Over the last year we have been to Florence, Rome, Venice, Beijing and Shanghai and are currently planning a trip to Thailand for the new year. It has been fantastic to see such different cultures in such varied parts of the world. Before doing TEFL we never imagined we would have all the experiences we have had so far and we highly recommend TLC to anybody!"
