The Classroom

Our bright and cheerful classroom comfortably seats up to ten trainees (the maximum we accept on our courses to keep personal attention high), and your trainer, of course!

Central heating and radiators are provided for the cooler months, and in summer blinds and curtains keep the temperature just right.

This is where the bulk of your training takes place and it also includes an extremely comprehensive library of teaching books and resources (one of the best in Paris, we are proud to say).

You can and should freely use everything on offer, and each trainee will also be responsible for keeping a shelf or section of our resource centre in order. This is an important aspect of professionalism which is one of the criteria taken into account in your final TEFL Certificate grade. Busy teachers in any language school always love being able to find their favourite resources in a flash, and you will be no different.

All in all, our trainees really enjoy living and working together at TEFL Paris, with the odd game of frisbee or a stroll in our lovely park to relax from time to time. Taking some 'time out' now and then is essential, whether for a walk in some of the nature that's on your doorstep, or a trip to a world-famous museum like the Musée d'Orsay or just along the banks of the Seine taking in the atmosphere and the history.

The Teaching Hall

The local town hall - la Mairie - are happy to let us use one of their premises to offer English lessons to people from the local community. We have three groups running at the same time, and you will be teaching a range of native French speakers from beginner to intermediate/upper-intermediate level.

We also have a wide range of ages, from children to retired people, which makes the groups dynamic and varied. Our students are extremely nice people, who enjoy coming to their English lessons and like most of all standing up and using their English to communicate with each other in real-life situations such as booking a ticket or going shopping.

The one thing all our 'guinea pigs' (the students you will be teaching!) have in common is a positive attitude to learning English and an understanding that you are trainees, not experienced teachers, and that they need to be gentle with you! And of course there are always trainers on-hand to help out with organisations, moving chairs around and so on. You're never completely on your own.
