TESOL Courses in Australia - Sydney

TESOL Sydney

Our Australian TESOL training centre is in Sydney, a city many believe to be the most popular multicultural city in the southern hemisphere. Many come to this vibrant metropolis of 4.5 million people to see the majestic Harbour Bridge, the fabled Opera House, the historic area of The Rocks, the stylish Sydney Tower, Darling Harbour and a number of other attractions. Sydney has many exciting opportunities for you during your stay.

The city of Sydney is very near a number of really beautiful beaches, national parks, and fun urban areas. With its clean air and bright, sunny blue sky, it's not hard to understand why over 10 million tourists visit Sydney yearly.

The most popular beach in Sydney is Bondi Beach, with its collection of shops and restaurants, beautiful scenic views and fun night spots. Most tourists gather here, so you can meet people from all around the world on the sand and in the pubs. Visit Cronulla Beach, if you want to experience a beach the locals frequent.

If you love animals, then you must visit Taronga Zoo and Sydney Wildlife World, which has a lot of Australia's wildlife living contentedly in replica sanctuaries. If you're into history, the city is full of 18th and 19th century buildings - each with their own story to tell. Finished in 1898, the Queen Victoria Building is one of Sydney's most memorable buildings. It has several levels of cafes and shops in an old-world style, making it an enjoyable retreat from the activity of the modern city. The Rocks district has been well preserved and modern shops are blended into areas that look like they did 200 years ago. There are over 15 museums in Sydney, featuring everything from science and discovery to art and history. The National Art Gallery and Australian Museum alone would take a couple of days to explore.

If festivals are your cup of tea, Sydney is certainly the place to be. From Chinese New Year and arts celebrations to the Royal Easter Show, there is at least one festival of some kind taking place every month in Sydney. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival and Parade is the most popular festival of the year and takes place in February. The largest festival of its kind in the country, it attracts over 500,000 people on the day of the parade. If you're coming to Sydney in February, be sure to book your accommodation at least six months in advance!

Sydney is a very ethnically diverse city. People from almost every country in the world live here. Parts of Sydney look like London, while other parts look like Japan. Check out the suburbs such as Ashfield for Shanghai Town or Leichhardt for Little Italy, and visit the Korean and Spanish neighbourhoods as well.

Nightlife in Sydney is really dynamic. With hundreds of clubs, pubs, bars, restaurants and sporting venues, there is lots to do, with some places open 24 hours. Try a pub crawl tour, enter a pool competition, check out happy hour or visit a Bavarian bar. There's something for everyone at night in Sydney.

Sydney continues to build its huge train system, with new stations and networks appearing all the time. Trains will take you from the airport into the city. If there isn't a convenient train to take you where you want to go, you'll find a bus or taxi. If you're staying for a while, consider renting a car. Several main arteries throughout the town make navigating fairly quick and painless, and there's no beating a drive over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Bus tickets are available throughout the city, with several options to choose from that can also make use of ferries from Circular Quay to Manly.

Sydney's official website, http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/, is a great resource for additional information on this fabulous city.

Sydney Climate

No time is wrong to visit this outdoor city, when it comes to the weather. Even winter is usually balmy and the darkest month in the dead of winter, July, still averages six hours of sunshine a day. Because Sydney is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are the opposite of countries north of the equator. December to February is high summer, while June to August comprise winter. Springtime, beginning in September, brings flowers as well as the main festival season. Manly Jazz Festival on Australian Labour Day weekend in October is of particular note. Because Christmas is in summer, December is hysterically celebratory and the city keeps on partying right through New Year's and on to Australia Day on January 26th. Christmas Day is spent at the beach by many Australians! Outdoor music events, festivals, swimming and surfing competitions, regattas and more keep the up the pace right through the beginning of Autumn in March - the rainiest month, with around five inches of precipitation. Winter doesn't get too cold, but temperatures can go as low as the 40s. However, a 60 degree day in July is not unheard of, with clear and sunny skies.

How to get to Sydney

Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport is on Botany Bay's north shore. Flights from New York take around 20 hours, 30 minutes, and from Los Angeles you'll be in the air for about 14 hours, 40 minutes. Qantas, Australia's national airline, (800-227-4500; www.qantas.com/us), offers the most flights, but United and British Airways also have many flights. The CityRail Airport Link (www.airportlink.com.au) leaves the airport every ten minutes from around 5.00 am until midnight for the ten-minute trip to Central Station. A taxi from the airport into the city center is around $20. The TESOL training centre is just a short walk from Town Hall station.

Sydney Accommodation

There are two accommodation options in Sydney, all being single rooms, but you may share if you choose to.

Harbour Breeze Lodge, around 15 minutes by ferry or bus from the school, is a popular and small hotel. All the rooms here have a comfortable bed and cotton linen, a TV, kitchenette, fridge and sink. The cost is 1080 Australian dollars for a single room for the duration of the course, and for shared accommodation, A$560 per person in a room with four beds, A$600 per person in a three-share room, or A$640 each for a two-person room. All rooms at the Harbour Breeze Lodge have shared bathrooms.

Sydney has very many premium hotels. We recommend you arrange this kind of accommodation yourself online. Prices begin at $180 per day.
