Home / TEFL courses / Greece / Corinth

The ancient city of Corinth is a significant historical area with many important archaeological sites and, after Athens, is the most frequently visited part of the Greek mainland. Visiting the Peloponnese region provides a wonderful opportunity to experience traditional Greek culture and to explore the rich history of the ancient Greek civilisation. Corinth is located only 50 miles from Athens and is surrounded by small coastal towns and beautiful countryside making it an ideal choice for your TEFL training course.

Modern Corinth has all the amenities you could want for an enjoyable stay with us. You will find many charming restaurants, cafes and bars, several beaches and all the services you may need such as banks, shops, travel agencies and public transportation to Athens and other surrounding communities.

Our TEFL course in Corinth also has close ties to a recruiting agency which will provide help in finding you a teaching position in Greece. Upon completion of your course, we are also happy to help you find a job elsewhere within Europe or even further afield.

The School

The ITTT training centre is perfectly situated in the coastal village of Vrahati, only ten minutes from the modern city of Corinth. Our centre has a large classroom which also serves as the primary teaching practice space during the course. It is well-equipped with an overhead projector, modern audio-visual equipment and whiteboards. We also have a separate, smaller classroom which is used for training and teaching smaller classes.

Our Corinth TEFL training centre also provides a resource library with a wide array of helpful materials, as well as plenty of space to relax in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. The centre is well-equipped with computers to aid your lesson planning and you can also bring your own laptop with you and make use of our centre’s wireless network.

Accommodation

We provide convenient accommodation for our trainees in Corinth, right across the road from the training centre. The main house has three twin rooms, one double room and one single room, accommodating a total of nine people. There are two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a washing machine, and a communal lounge. In addition to the balconies surrounding the house, there's also a large garden furnished with chairs, sun beds and a barbeque. The rooms are cleaned and sheets changed on a weekly basis and the whole house is equipped with wireless internet access.

Rooms in the main house are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so please book your place on the course as early as possible. If the house is full, or if you prefer, we do have other apartments available nearby, and trainees who stay in these can still use the facilities at the main house.

Just a two minute walk from the accommodation you will find the heart of the village, with banks, a post office, bus station, taxis and shops. This is a popular vacation spot in the summer as the beaches are excellent and have earned the European Union’s Blue Flag award. While the nightlife is lively, with clubs, bars, restaurants and cafes, the village itself remains relatively unspoiled.

Corinth is easy to reach using the direct suburban rail link from the airport railway station. Regardless of your accommodation choice, we will pick you up at Corinth railway station and take you back there once the course is over — free of charge.

• What can I expect during teaching practice?

  Close

  Teaching practice takes place in the afternoon, generally between five and eight o’clock. The majority of our teaching practice is with young teenagers at a small private school near Vrahati. At certain times of the year we also have additional practice at the training center.

  Each trainee usually teaches once per day to make up the total of ten hours during the course. Trainers provide extensive help with planning each lesson and give written feedback which forms the basis of the feedback discussion after each lesson.

  Lessons are based upon real teaching resources found all over the world and you will have the chance to create your own materials as well. You will also receive the aid of your course trainer throughout lesson planning and receive immediate feedback on your lesson after it’s been delivered. Practicum is assessed and a satisfactory assessment is required to earn your TEFL/TESOL certificate.

• Who usually attends the course?

  Close

  The maximum class size in Corinth is 16. Most of the participants are American, British, Canadian or Australian, although we do accept non-native speakers of English who have a high proficiency in the language.

• Is there a dress code?

  Close

  For all input and tutorial sessions at the training location, there is only one specific dress requirement: Both men and women should have a shirt covering their shoulders. The course operates from within a school so we ask you to be mindful of this, as well as being mindful of your peers and to respect the fact that you are a visitor in another country.

  During teaching practice there are specific requirements that adhere to the local dress code. All trainees are expected to dress professionally according to the following guidelines:

  Women: Shoulders should be covered, blouses with sleeves are suggested. No low-cut necklines, very short skirts or bare midriffs. Open-toed shoes are acceptable, but not hiking or flip-flop sandals.

  Men: Long pants, slacks or trousers are required, jeans are not acceptable. Short or long-sleeved shirts with a collar are necessary, although a tie is not required. Loafers or dress shoes are both fine, sandals are not acceptable. Long hair should always be tied back.

• What should I bring for course studies?

  Close

  Please be sure to arrive on the first day of the course with a notebook and a pen. We also encourage you to bring a laptop as we have Wi-Fi at the training center. We will provide all course materials for you so there is no need to bring anything else for the course itself.
