TEFL Course Graduate

As a new TEFL course graduate I would like to thank all of the little people for all of their support for me during my endeavors.

But really the course I took was awful. Not because of the course itself, but because of the instructor. He was a complete joke and in no way do I feel comfortable recommending this particular school to anyone in case they must be taught by Hugh.

Let me explain my extreme dislike for his teaching methods:

1) He never answered a question satisfactorily.
2) Often times he would ignore questions asked by students and did not like when students asked him questions.
3) He lacked any kind of social skills needed to be an inspiring teacher (or really a human being).
4) After I would teach a lesson he never gave good critiques that would help me in the future.
5) He did not respect personal space even after someone mentioned it to him.
6) He was the most disorganized person in the world and would forget to tell students of time changes in the written schedule he gave us.

All in all I am happy to have the somewhat useless piece of paper telling the world that I passed this course, but it was rough going.

Even with all of this negativity I am very happy that I got to spend time in France meeting loads of different people (mostly from Sweden). This cohort of mine enjoyed my last week together at the reservoir hanging out and eating cheese. Some also consumed some wine. And generally having a good time together at a bar, on the Promenade de Charles de Gaulle, by the lake... wherever we found ourselves really. In essence a perfect ending to a month fraught with a frustrating teacher.
