Fancy a change in your current teaching career but want to stay in teaching? This may be something of interest and we can highly recommend the following organisation:
TEFL Toulouse is the only teacher training centre in South West France to offer an externally accredited, 4-week intensive TEFL Course, with 6 hours observed teaching practice. We operate from within our own language school in the main shopping street in Toulouse. Trainees come from a wide range of backgrounds, from disillusioned UK teachers, to recent Univiersity graduates who want to travel the world teaching English to make ends meet, or people seeking to make some money while they enjoy their retirement in France. The one thing nearly everyone has in common is that they are fed up with the UK!
There is plenty of work available once the course is over, and many ex trainees set up as freelancers or even set up their own small language teaching operations locally or elsewhere.
Toulouse is a vibrant city of around 500,000 and home to Airbus. The Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pyrennes are all little more than a couple of hours drive away.
For more information and testimonials, see their website www.tefltoulouse.com
