If I already have a bachelor’s degree in education, is it necessary for me to become TEFL certified?
If you're considering teaching English as a foreign language, obtaining a TEFL certification is highly recommended. While a degree in education can be a valuable asset, teaching English as a foreign language requires specialized training that is different from traditional teaching methods. A TEFL certification program provides comprehensive training in language teaching techniques, classroom management, lesson planning, and assessment, all of which are essential skills for teaching English to non-native speakers. At Vamos Academy, we offer a range of flexible and affordable TEFL certification programs designed to meet the needs of today's English language learners.
What can I expect as an average salary upon completion of the course?
Teaching English as a foreign language can be a rewarding career, both personally and financially. While salaries vary depending on factors such as location, experience, and employer, you can expect to earn a starting salary of approximately 800 to 1000 Euros per month, working 30 to 45 hours per week. While this may seem modest compared to salaries in some European countries, it's important to note that the cost of living in Spain is lower than in many other countries, allowing you to live comfortably on this income.
What type of learners will I be teaching during my teaching practices?
Our TEFL certification program provides hands-on teaching practice with students of various ages and English proficiency levels. This immersive experience enables you to develop the skills and confidence needed to work effectively with diverse groups of learners. At Vamos Academy, we believe that practical experience is essential for becoming a successful English teacher. Our comprehensive teaching practices ensure that you receive the support and guidance you need to refine your teaching techniques and prepare you for a rewarding career in teaching English as a foreign language.
How can I prepare for the course?
Preparing for our TEFL certification program involves more than just studying teaching methods. To make the most of your experience in Spain, we recommend that you research the local culture and customs, so that you are better prepared for your journey. Understanding the customs and traditions of a new place can be an enriching experience that enhances your teaching skills and helps you connect with your students on a deeper level.
Are there any technology requirements for the course?
To succeed in our TEFL certification program, you will need to bring a laptop to class. We highly recommend that you are proficient in using Google Suite and other online platforms, as these tools will be essential for lesson planning, project management, and communication with your fellow students and instructors.
What should I pack? Is there anything specific that I should bring that may be difficult to find on site?
It's important to plan ahead if you have specific needs or preferences. If you take a particular medication, we recommend that you speak with your doctor to ensure that you have access to it or a suitable alternative during your stay. Similarly, if you have a favorite spice, sauce, or condiment that is not commonly found in Spain, you may want to bring it along to ensure that you have everything you need to feel comfortable during your time here.
Do I need to be a native English speaker to apply for the course?
You do not need to be a native speaker to apply for the course, but you must possess a C2 level of fluency.

Can I teach in China?

Do I need to be proficient in Spanish in order to teach English as a foreign language?
