TEFL Madrid – The Shadow of Covid-19 in Spain

I don’t think that there was ever a single day when I couldn’t walk out of my apartment in the middle of the City Centre in Madrid, and not see the hustle and bustle of people living their lives. Cafés, restaurants, those guys who run around the city centre with cheap knock-offs of professional soccer jerseys, the ongoing tale of a city living its best life.

The Exam Preparation Class - TEFL teachers in Spain

You know that a job is great when it constantly challenges you. Try to imagine that you’re a TEFL Teacher living in Madrid for more than a few years.

Then, you’re given the opportunity to prepare a student for a language exam – something you’ve never done before. You are a qualified, experienced TEFL teacher who now has been tasked with something completely different. You are a fish out of water. You feel like you’re a student again.
