Accommodation

Leave your accommodation to us!

We strongly recommend you use our free accommodation finding service, rather than risking an airbnb or similar, or trying to commute for over an hour. We put you directly in touch with our lovely hosts who understand the timetable and demands of the course.

We have host family type accommodation – studio (ie one room) flats, semi independent accommodation (eg you have a part of the house which is separated from the rest), or sharing with a family. Coming with a dog? With a partner? A child?  You name it, we can probably set it up!

We have handpicked the nicest places for our trainees – we think you will love yours. You will pay the rent to the landlord directly upon arrival.

How does TEFL accommodation work?

All you need to do is tell us on your application form that you would like accommodation and if you have any preferences, allergies etc, and we will put you in touch with an English speaking landlord or two.

There are several options: studio apartments, living with a family, living independently with a single owner and shared apartments. If you want to come with a friend or a partner we can usually provide accommodation for both of you.

How much can I expect to pay for the month? How does TEFL Toulouse accommodation compare?

Some of the landlords rent very nice rooms for as little as 500 euros for the month, whereas some TEFL courses in London or New York will want at least this figure PER WEEK! Other TEFL courses quote cheap accommodation, but in the small print you are sharing a room! Yuk.

I’d like to live on my own for the TEFL course

We have studio (ie one room) flats from  around 700 euros, and have handpicked the nicest places for our trainees – we think you will love yours. You will pay the rent to the landlord directly upon arrival.

Consider accommodation fees when choosing a TEFL course

Your TEFL course fee + accommodation fee + living costs in Toulouse can make our TEFL course turn out better value than staying in your home country and doing a TEFL there – do some research! We have been using many of the same trusted addresses and landlords for some years with very happy results. All if this means that you have an address to go to when you arrive at the airport in Toulouse. All of our accommodation is within very easy reach of the training centre, and are all suitable for quiet study.

Can you pick me up from the airport?

We can arrange airport pick ups, although getting the tram into town couldn’t be easier and only takes about 20 minutes. The airport is quite small, and just walk straight out of the door and onto the tram. Get a “10 trips” ticket from the machine. Everyone speaks English.

I’d rather find my own place with AirBNB or similar

Fine, of course. Just be careful of potential problems with wifi, heating, hot water, noisy or newly arriving flatmates, obsessive owners or other unexpected surprises that aren’t always made clear. That’s why we recommend our trusted landlords. You don’t want to be moving out of your place during the TEFL course and trying to stop the landlord keeping your rent….

What about when the course finishes? Can you help me find somewhere?

Sure. You may not be able to stay where you are (we need the room for someone on the next course) but during the 4 weeks with us we can help you a lot with accommodation. You may even want to find somewhere with another trainee you met on the course. Were here to help!
