Why I Would Recommend Taking a TEFL Course to My Friends - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
I never thought I needed to take a test to teach English before doing the TEFL course. Graduating from an all American boarding school to doing my undergrad in Denver, Colorado and using my time off to teach English in India I did not think a test would benefit me in any way. It was not until I was required to attain a teaching certificate in the country of Thailand where I did my research and decided upon taking the TEFL. There are two main reasons as to why I think the TEFL would benefit anyone: 1. Time efficient and 2. Educational.
Taking the TEFL course is time efficient.
There are so many things I was able to learn from taking the TEFL course.
The TEFL course is time efficient and has proven to be educational.

Adapting to the Differences Between Group Teaching and One-to-One Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Lesson planning for an individual ESL student can be successfully adapted from lesson planning for a group once the teacher recognizes the differences and similarities between teaching a group and teaching an individual in a one-to-one setting. My first teaching experience was volunteering to teach a multilingual, adult class. After the class ended, Yordanka, one of the students, approached me for private help with her English conversation skills. I kept the following concerns in mind when conducting one-to-one sessions with Yordanka. These concerns address seven issues: student needs, student talk versus teacher talk time, trust between teacher and student, scheduling, lesson duration, the timing of lesson elements, and supplies.
