TESTIMONIAL
''I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you all for having me in school over the last couple of days. I really enjoyed the experience, everyone I spoke to (not just the Geography staff) were really helpful and easy to chat with and the two days has only further confirmed how much I want to do this...I look forward to coming back next month for the meet & greet session and really look forward to starting the course in September! If anything, I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't returning today!''

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to spend the day at your college. I had a great time and everyone else was so welcoming. The placement itself was such a great experience for me as it gave me the opportunity to get a real insight into teaching. I learnt a lot from that today, and I'm positive it's going to benefit me in my quest to becoming a great teacher. Thanks again for your time and a big thank you to all the teachers and pupils who made us all feel welcome.”
AP – School Experience Visitor
“Everyone who is seriously considering teaching should complete a well-structured programme like the one offered with TELA as it allows you to truly and honestly see all aspects, positive and negative, to teaching and teacher training, something purely observational work nor volunteering comes close to matching.”
