Hilderstone College: Meet our Teachers
Will my teachers be good?
It's an important question when you are choosing a course: How do I know if my teachers will be good? We want to put your mind at rest - Hilderstone teachers are among the best in the UK.
Why are Hilderstone teachers special?
Hilderstone College has a large permanent staff of fully qualified teachers who do most of the teaching at the College. All of these teachers are graduates and have specialist postgraduate teaching qualifications (see list). This means, in British Council terms, that they are fully “TEFL qualified.” They are also highly experienced as teachers and teacher trainers. Most have taught English in other countries as well as in the UK.
Evidence of excellence
In questionnaires completed by all students at the College between 2005 - 2009, over 95% said the teaching they received and the College in general were "Good" or "Very Good".
Teaching methods
Our teachers use a wide range of up-to-date materials and technology, and are constantly involved in the production of new ideas and teaching materials based on English as it is used today. We also believe that if you want to learn English fast and effectively, then you need to enjoy your learning. Variety is part of this process – variety of teaching styles, variety of materials and variety of activity. Our teachers are friendly and accessible, and are always happy to help and advise – or just have a chat!
