What our trainees say

Every teaching skill I have learnt has been a result of this course. I didn’t know if I would even like teaching, so just being in front of class has been really valuable experience in itself. Perhaps in particular, learning about the elicitation, CCQs and lesson planning has been the most useful and have been the main areas of development.

I’ve enjoyed all aspects of the course. … I didn’t have much experience prior to the course, so I found everything useful. My most valuable teaching/learning experience was the guidance from tutors when lesson planning and feedback after sessions.

I managed to make my lessons more student-centred and interactive. The elicitation techniques we were taught were wonderful.

I think the best thing I developed during this course is confidence. I now know that I can be a teacher and I can be comfortable in front of the classroom.

The whole course was very well-structured in terms of content and procedures... I learned how to be more structured and organized when teaching, be clearer in my instructions, give efficient feedback, monitor actively, etc.

The staff at AVO-Bell have been lovely – very helpful and always polite, which has made the whole experience of this course so much better.
