Testimonials
"The TEFL course at Caledonian School was an eye-opening and life-changing experience for me. I had thought I'd be the only "older" student there, but was pleased to find that the participants in my course and the teachers at the school were from a range of ages and nationalities. I learned more about language, teaching and learning than I thought was possible. I also discovered that I really enjoyed English teaching, and decided to make this my career. The course not only prepared me to work with Czech students at Caledonian School, which I did for 4 years, but also enabled me to teach in Vietnam and at an international school in Malaysia, as well as start working toward my DELTA."
Colleen Kalchik, May '02 TEFL course
"Taking the TEFL course offered by Caledonian was a great experience. From the airport pick-up to the final day of classes, the school provided all the resources needed to learn how to teach English, and the support from the other teachers was remarkable as well."
Gregory Vallarino, September '07 TEFL course
"I always wanted to be a language teacher, and this was the perfect way to get me started. And it was great getting to know my fellow trainees and our trainers."
Katka Spalkova, November '07 TEFL course
"The TEFL Course forced me to analyze the functional components of my own language that I took for granted, and more importantly, how to convey this knowledge effectively. It was a good shock to my system before I became a real teacher."
Peter Campisi, May ‘07 TEFL course
"Aside from the English knowledge gained, the TEFL course experience is a great way to make the transition to the Prague lifestyle."
Mike Olsen, September '07 TEFL course
"When I started my search for a TEFL course, I compared many different schools. I chose the Caledonian School for its great program but I became even happier with my decision when I experienced how easy they made the transition from TEFL student to ESL teacher. The staff is always available to help each other and have been a great resource."
PJ Katz, August '07 TEFL course
"The Caledonian TEFL gave me a solid foundation in how to teach a class in English and enough practice to feel comfortable at my first lesson. Coming in I hardly knew anything of my natural language other than what sounded correct, but I left with a greater understanding of its finer details and how to present them. I would suggest this course for anyone wishing to pursue a career (or even an adventure) in teaching English abroad."
Daniel Gillespie, January '08 TEFL Course
"The TEFL course at Caledonian School was a really good experience. I met a lot of great people, gained valuable experience teaching classes and amassed a lot of good tools and resources to use teaching English."
Blake Statham, Apríl '08 TEFL Course
"Taking the TEFL course at the Caledonian School was a great way to start my adventure in Prague. It gave me the chance to meet and interact with lots of new people, both Czech and American, while learning the ins and outs of the English language. Thanks to the teachers and staff, I was confident and prepared the first time I walked into a classroom solo."
Colin Bobby, August '08 TEFL Course
"My experience with the Caledonian TEFL course was tremendously valuable. I learned so much. The TEFL trainers were very professional and always ready to help. And the school itself is an open and friendly place to be. I would definitely recommend the TEFL course to anyone who is seeking a strong foundation for their teaching career."
Jana Broderick, November '08 TEFL Course
"When an opportunity to move to Prague arose, I realized that my business background would be a benefit as a teacher of English. Prior to arriving I researched several schools that offered TEFL certification and concluded that the Caledonian School had an exciting and worthwhile program. As a native speaker I started the TEFL training not realizing the extent of knowledge of the English language that I possessed, nor how to impart that knowledge to others. By enrolling in Caledonian School's TEFL program I acquired proven teaching methods, reinforced my innate English skills and built my personal confidence to be an effective teacher. The Caledonian School's administration and teaching staff is courteous, personable and attentive to the needs of each individual student. I highly recommend the Caledonian School for anyone who wanting to pursue TEFL certification."
