Co-teach with one of our senior teachers

In the second week, you will co-teach with one of our senior teachers. This is important because you can learn useful techniques from experienced teachers and you get to practice teaching with ‘real’ students rather than people that are just getting classes for free. Finally, presuming your OxbridgeTEFL trainer confirms you are ready, you will teach the full class for your final two weeks. The senior Oxbridge teacher then becomes your observer and evaluator, marking your in-class performance on our credential sheets using our mark schemes. These marks go towards your final grade. At least 6 hours of evaluated teaching practice means your certificate will be recognised by the British Council. The OxbridgeTEFL course online grants you many more to ensure a great teaching expertise on completion!
