TYLP is an excellent course to learn different styles for teaching; you know what you can teach to children between 3 to 8 years old, using the four skills: reading, speaking, listening and writing. Also you learn many games and interesting activities that you can do in the class. At the end of the course you have the opportunity to practice with kids and this is a good experience because you start to have a friendship with them. That is awesome! , the kids are very happy and they give you their happiness. And the teacher is very good!
