Train To TEFL:Teacher Training & Language Learning

07/09/2026

Why did Becks decide to train to teach English?

Before taking the Trinity CertTESOL, Becks had never taught before. Her background was working with refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK and Europe.

Through that work, she saw first-hand the difference that being able to speak English could make – helping people navigate everyday life, build their confidence, settle and become more involved in their communities.

She regularly referred people to ESOL classes and saw the benefits those classes could bring.

Eventually, it made her realise that teaching English was something she wanted to be able to do herself.

Becks recently completed her Trinity CertTESOL with us at Train-to-TEFL.

If you’ve been thinking about training to teach English, we still have a few places remaining on our September courses:

🎓 How manageable is the Trinity CertTESOL?

Glenn, a recent graduate from Hong Kong, has just completed his Trinity CertTESOL with Train-to-TEFL.

We asked him what advice he would give to future trainees about managing their time and balancing the demands of the course.

His advice? The course is definitely manageable, but if you’re fitting it around a full-time job, good time management really matters.

Sometimes the best instruction is no instruction at all

A great teaching tip from one of our recent CertTESOL graduates.

When giving instructions, demonstrating what learners need to do can be far more effective than a lengthy explanation.

Learners can see exactly what the task involves, making instructions clearer and helping them get started with confidence.

A simple technique that can make a real difference in the classroom.

"Stay organised and don't leave your assignments until the last minute!"

That's Noreen's top piece of advice after successfully completing the Level 5 Trinity CertTESOL with us.

In this short video, Noreen shares why she decided to train as an ESOL teacher, the lesson that completely changed the way she thinks about teaching, how the course helped build her confidence, and why she'd encourage anyone considering a career in ESOL to go for it.

If you're interested in training to teach English, we'd love to hear from you!

Do you find yourself scratching your head over how to tackle the language analysis on your lesson plan?🧐

You are not alone! It’s the part most trainee teachers find hardest.

So to help, I’ve designed a guide to completing language analysis with confidence. My 6 step guide covers the different types of lessons you might teach with worked examples to bring it all to life.

If you’d like a free copy, comment GUIDE and I’ll send it straight over. 🤩

This year marks the 154th anniversary of Trinity College London, and we’re proud to be entering our 10th year as a Trinity CertTESOL provider. 🙌 🎉

Over the last decade, we’ve had the privilege of training and supporting teachers from a huge range of backgrounds, watching trainees develop their confidence, skills and careers in ELT.

We’ve seen the course evolve through enormous changes, including COVID, moving from fully face to face delivery to the blended format we run today.

We’re proud to be celebrating not just our own milestone, but the achievements of all the trainees who have been part of the journey over the years.

Happy anniversary Trinity College London! 🥂 🎉
