I often refer anyone interested in TEFL course to TTMadrid, and liken their establishment to a “home away from home”. From experience, I know that TTMadrid really looks out for their own and acts a family–constantly offering support, helps their students sort out the legal paperwork encountered when applying for visas, and provides a strong foundation from which friendships and professional relationships can blossom. For me, they are what gave me a sense of community in Madrid, and even now one year later I still feel involved.

As far as a TEFL certificate from TTMadrid goes, you couldn’t do better if you tried. Almost every single employer I have had or interviewed with in Madrid has expressed a deep respect for those who graduate from the TTMadrid TEFL program. Doors open with a certificate in hand from TTMadrid…Don’t hesitate to sign up for this course, you won’t regret it!

TtMadrid is awesome. It’s the best choice I could have made. It was such a fun and amazing experience. I not only gained knowledge and experience from this course, but I have advice and aid anytime I need it from the TtMadrid staff. I now have many friends from all over the world that I met through TtMadrid. These are now my best friends in Madrid that I network and travel with. I am so thankful I chose this TEFL course. I would be lost without it!

TtMadrid is so much more than a 4 week TEFL course. On top of being an amazingly thorough experience, the staff goes above and beyond to be sure students feel confident and prepared for the real world, armed with “tried and true” tips. Professional yet friendly, TtMadrid teaches students to be effective (and happy!) English teachers in a new country. I am so grateful and proud to be a graduate of Tt!

TtMadrid is the best program I could imagine.

I was provided with thorough and practical teacher training by people who know what they are doing and really care about my wellbeing.

They have provided me with a tight and strong teacher/job network and community.

They have supported me with unending aid in the years following the course.

There has never been a doubt in my mind that I found the best teaching program in Madrid and I thank the stars that I had the good chance to walk through their doors in the summer of 2008.

Three cheers for TtMadrid! I had originally skipped across the pond to Madrid from the grand ole (pun intended) USA for a nice relaxing break between careers or graduate school. After returning to sunny Florida and missing everything about Madrid and its Madrilenos I spoke to a good friend of mine who lives in Madrid in search of a way to extend my next visit to Spain. He suggested teaching English and the academy where he had received his TEFL certificate. The academy he referred me to was none other than TtMadrid. He had nothing but positive things to say about the course, Natasha and the staff. My friend put me in touch with Natasha and the rest was history. Natasha walked me through all of the different possibilities in order to execute my plan and I boarded a plane Madrid bound within a couple of months.

The course at TtMadrid was top notch and better than advertised. It was intense but purpose driven and the entire staff is knowledgeable, professional, witty, fun and most importantly caring. It was apparent they are there to expand your knowledge of the English language and groom you into a first-rate professor. They provide you with a great learning environment in a great location with all of the necessary tools and technology. The staff brought me from dunce to the Dr. Douglas “Doogie” Howser of English (If you don’t know Doogie Howser shame on you). The best part is that once you complete the course you are and feel like a lifetime member of the TtMadrid family. They assist you in every step of acclimating to a new country and continue to assist you with whatever your needs are well beyond your graduation. I owe all of my current successes in the teaching field to the knowledge, tips, and contacts provided by TtMadrid. A Real Good academy that produces English professors for the Real World in Real Madrid (couldn’t resist). Two American thumbs up….. way up!

I had been thinking about getting my TEFL certificate for a long time and I’m so grateful that when I finally decided to take the leap I found TtMadrid. The course was definitely intensive, but Natasha and the rest of the TtMadrid team were so supportive and available every step of the way. There was never a moment I felt like just another number. It’s clear that their focus is not simply to get their trainees through the course, but to ensure that each graduate has the skills necessary to become successful and effective teachers in the real world. From visa and housing assistance before arriving in Madrid to the incredible help they give in finding work after graduation to answering the million little questions along the way, TtMadrid provides all the support needed to make the transition into a new job, a new culture, and a new life.

Changing career is difficult. Changing career and country is even tougher! I have a background in sales and banking and thought that teaching English would be something I could never achieve. However straight from the off, it became a real situation with TT helping me along the way.

From the first conversation over 14 months ago to the present day I can rely on Natasha and the team to help me through most things in my life and career.

The course was exciting, dynamic, entertaining, professional, well planned, interesting, and interactive. I am not going to lie, the course was one the most difficult things I have ever done. It was hard work and long hours, but when you pass and have a beer you realize it was well worth it. The support is through out the course.

The support is fantastic and unbelievable. I am currently sat in the school having a coffee and a chat with Natasha and preparing the classes for next week. Once you have finished they do not kick you out the door, the team takes the time to help.

Would I recommend TTMadrid?? With great pleasure!!!!!

This course far exceeded my expectations. I’ve taken a lot of courses over the years (I love learning new things) and I’ve also sourced and delivered corporate training in my work and I can honestly say that the TTMadrid TEFL course was one of the best courses I have ever experienced. It was well planned, professional, interesting, interactive, practical and lots of fun. The amount of support you get, both during the course and afterwards, is phenomenal. I’ve spoken to lots of teachers who did other TEFL courses and no-one got the same level of practical advice, guidance and support as I did from TTMadrid.

The course is hard work, but that is something that they are really open about from the start and there is so much help and support available that it really isn’t a big deal.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the TTMadrid TEFL course to anyone thinking of getting their TEFL qualification.

TtMadrid offers a wonderful course that is both JAMMED packed and thoroughly organized. The teachers are outgoing, available, helpful, and really encouraging. I won’t lie, it is a lot of work but the month flew by!

The day I graduated, I had an interview and began teaching the following Monday. Since that day, Natasha has been available to me for advice on anything: from fixing my schedule to finding a doctor.

She is a people person for sure and wants her students to get out there and work just as much as they want to!

I’m really happy that I decided to take the TEFL course with TtMadrid and to move to Spain!

My wife and I heard about TT Madrid through a few friends that gave us glowing endorsements, and from the start we could understand why. Natasha and her team not only helped answer all of our questions and address all of our concerns, but they also gave all kinds of advice on how to obtain our visas, housing, travel, and even bank accounts and setting up our phones.

The course itself was a blast, but was just as thorough as it was fun. It was well paced, with a great mix of theory, grammar, phonetics, and practice-teaching to make sure we all felt confident and prepared to teach professionally at the end of four weeks. And we made a lot of great friends in the group, as well.

Best of all, after the class is over, we have a great network for jobs right off the bat. The TT Madrid team helps set-up job interviews, create CVs, and even shows you how to maintain a balanced schedule (so you have enough time to travel on the weekends!).

Overall, we’re more than thrilled with our decision and are quite grateful to the team at TT Madrid.
