We are a team of experienced teachers who specialize in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Together, we have witnessed rsthand the booming demand for quality English teachers in Madrid, Spain.
The Market
To capitalize on this niche, we seek to provide
a unique opportunity to native English speakers
from the United States, Australia, Canada and
the United Kingdom. TEFL Madrid will provide a
supportive avenue for these individuals to gain
comprehensive expertise in teaching, while
gaining huge personal bene ts from a lifestyle
transition to a new country.
Our TEFL students will be guided and supported
through the process of relocating to Spain,
learning to teach English, nding a teaching job
and experiencing what life has to o er in their
new environment.
According to the top international accreditation source,
ACCREDITAT, it is estimated that approximately 1.7 billion
people are learning and using English worldwide in 2015.
This is predicted to rise to 2 billion by 2020, giving us an
opportunity at TEFL Madrid to prepare and train the next
generations of TEFL teachers within this multi-billion dollar
industry.
Teacher training is therefore an essential part of this industry
and has a unique business focus. TEFL training has been
coined as a revolving door for business due to the nature of the
service. It has been estimated that every year, approximately
fty percent of all English teachers abroad will leave their
current teaching positions and return to their home country. In
consequence, this generates more than 100,000 new teaching
positions for English teachers abroad each year. The demand
for new English teachers is therefore always great, meaning
TEFL training academies can greatly bene t from the in ux of
prospective students wanting to train.
The Market Overview The global TEFL industry is a rapidly growing business with an increasing number of individuals withan acquisition to learn the English Language for business and education.
Safety and Security
The safety of our students is a
priority. We will ensure to the
highest degree possible that
those who choose to attend
our program are fully informed
on all potential risks involved
in moving to a large European
city, as well as the realistic
expectations and challenges of
beginning teachers in a foreign
country.

Why choose TEFL Madrid?
TEFL Madrid o ers students a unique experience. Past students feedback strongly explains the quality of education they received as well as forming friendships and feeling like part of our family within each course group. TEFL Madrid does more than just nurture students to become good teachers. We also continue to stay in contact and support with our alumni, o ering teaching ideas, job opportunities and enrichment sessions, all free of charge. Our enrichment classes focus on a range of topics suggested and designed based on the students that attend. A sample of recent enrichment sessions led by our team are detailed below.
Reviews from students mentioned their quality and accommodating learning environment and that they were relaxed and supported to teach. TEFL Madrid o ers a 120-hour intensive course plus 6 hours of a real teaching practicum. The teaching practicum not only takes place in our academy but students are exposed to non-native English speakers ranging from beginner to advanced levels during the course.
Finally, TEFL Madrid only o ers accredited courses, from the lead accreditation source ACCREDITAT. Holding that accreditation is not only a mark of quality for any employer that you may work for but it is also a re ection of our quality as an institution as we uphold to the accreditation standards.
Our goal is to train individuals ways to teach English with skills, expertise and grow a real passion for the English language. We also feel that it is paramount that training classes are kept small to ensure that each student has ample contact time with their training mentors. Having a training coach that knows and works closely with the student plays a key role in their acquisition of teaching.
