About the teacher training centre
International House Lisbon is a specialist teacher training and English teaching centre.
It opened its new premises in the Alto dos Moinhos area of Lisbon just three years ago. This is a safe, modern, area just five minutes’ walk to the Metro (Blue line) and very close to the Benfica Football Stadium. The premises are modern, airy and spacious, and not so big you'll get lost there!
The school is managed by Monica and Diana who have also been runing the successful IH Torres Vedras school, just outside Lisbon, for over 25 years. Monica and Diana have a very practical and welcoming approach to their students and staff. They are passionate about their schools and this is evident in the welcome that students and teachers receive. It is a very friendly, warm school with a great heart to it.

Tutors at this training centre
Diana England
I love helping my students to have genuine fun communicating with each other in English using lively discussions, roleplays, rather than listening to the teacher, copying from the board or doing rote exercises the whole time. In a similar way, I love the way my trainees learn from each other, and enjoy input and teaching sessions.
Herbie Goulart
To successfully complete the course, I recommend you share queries with each other and the trainers; discuss the day’s content to better shape your understanding of it and build on it; have a positive constructive attitude towards all you do and deal with throughout the training.
Kasia Jakielaszek
To get the most from the course and your TEFL career, keep on reflecting, experimenting with your techniques and never stop learning. Try to enjoy teaching as much as you can – if you enjoy it, your learners will too.
Neil Murray
I hope that my trainees can become more confident and competent in front of a group of learners. I hope they leave equipped with effective classroom management skills and a strong self-belief that they can go on to become great language teachers.
Sally German
The advice I give to trainees for a fulfilling career is to try and work abroad if you can, and always try to work for schools that give development sessions and observe their teachers.

What our graduates say
“The course was incredibly well-structured and well-paced, making the learning process smooth and manageable. The live sessions encouraged deeper thinking and allowed for clarifying doubts. Thanks to the tutors’ expert guidance, I felt confident going into the exam and improved my overall teaching skills.” - Dave Naserbakht
“Online units and textbooks complemented each other, being solid and well-organised resources that served as a reference for me to study, revise or expand on crucial topics for the exam. The live sessions were mainly focused on the exam structure and exam practice reviews, and they allowed me to unpack the exam tasks, the logic behind the exam structure and the marking system.” - Camilla Anziliero
