“ I got just what I wanted from the TEFL course at Dunham Institute.  I taught children, teens and adults, and all different levels.  Chiapa de Corzo is a small and quiet, great place to study.”

 Amy Thomas, Cambridge, England

“The Dunham Institute TEFL course was intensive, but I still had time to travel and fall in love with Chiapas.  The host families were sweet, the students really enthusiastic, and the course really prepared me for getting up in front of a group.”

“I had no idea what I was in for with TEFL and the experience at Dunham was a fantastic introduction to the English teaching world.  Although I now mainly teach Business English, I often have to resource back to the skills that I learned while at Dunham Institute.”

Elizabeth Snow, Sydney Australia

“Ok, don’t ever try to teach English without some sort of training.  I found out the hard way that it is really stressful and almost traumatic.  Luckily, Dunham Institute was 20 minutes away, and I got some great training and preparation in a really helpful, educational, and low stress environment.  I was able to get my old job back in Tuxtla after the training and my whole experience changed drastically.  Kids classes are so much fun now!”

Brian Wallace, Oklahoma, USA

“I went to work right away after my training, and found I was a lot more prepared than any of my new teacher co-workers.  The TEFL course at Dunham Institute is really practical and I learned how to teach all ages and all levels.  The adults were a bit intimidating at first, but the overall environment at Dunham is relaxed and friendly, you soon feel at ease.  Chiapa de Corzo is an easy town to get along in, and there aren’t that many distractions, so studying was easy, too.”
