Read below for Pilar’s full interview.

Why did you take a UK-TEFL course?

I wanted to learn new games for students and refresh methodology.

What are you are doing now?

I am an English teacher in Peru, I have a degree in education and have been working for more than 10 years. My students are mostly business students as one of the requirements of the course is speaking fluent English.

What is your favourite part of teaching English as a foreign language?

How students understand and practice the language in their own style, it’s fascinating!

What are your future plans?

I would like to become a better teacher.

What advice would you give to someone wanting to become a TEFL teacher?

• Have tons of patience and be open to learning from your students.

• It is important to bring a big smile to your classes.

• You should know what interests your students; it makes you connect with your pupils.

• You need to give your best every single class and you should stay organised.

• It is lovely to share experiences with your colleagues; many times they bring you new ideas of games and activities.

• Before travelling to your new place, you should conduct research on local customs and food.

Would you recommend taking a UK-TEFL Course?

Yes!
