Brilliant job placement support

I chose to get my TEFL qualification with MyTEFL mainly for the job placement. They have a network of partner schools around Asia, and help all their graduates to find suitable teaching placements which include work visas and great pay (about $2,000 per month).

As I came near to completing my 120 hour course, the team helped me to check visa requirements, prepare me for an online interview and secure a job in Taiwan. 2 months later and i'm about to fly out to begin my life abroad! Thanks MyTEFL

10/10 - It's worth paying a little extra!

This TEFL course has really helped me to not only become a qualified teacher, but to also understand the industry which I've just entered.

It gave me a lot of insight into the different types of schools around the world, employment requirements and how much to charge for my teaching services.

I now feel like I have all I need to find a job, and teach with confidence. Definitely worth the money!

Great preparation for teaching

MyTEFL gave me a whole new perspective on teaching. I'm a little embarrassed to say now, but I thought teaching abroad was more about playing games and reading Cat in the Hat. Now I understand how much more to it there is, and it feels good that i'm now trained and prepared - though it did get a little dull after a few weeks of studying ha.

I'll just be totally honest here. A 120 hour course is what you need to meet employment/visa conditions in quite a few teaching destinations. It doesn't sound too bad (and yeah it's not really) but it can get boringgg after a few weeks. But yeah... i'm not sure how you could improve that.

A very good online course

Hey everyone.

I enrolled in this course after seeing numerous reviews online, and thankfully I wasn't disappointed.

It wasn't as easy as I had expected, some of the lessons are pretty tricky to get your head around, but to be honest i'd say that's a good thing. For example, you don't want to be stood in front of a class trying to explain subject-verb agreements without practice beforehand.

For me, the course has been great, and i'd recommend it to anyone looking for an online TEFL certificate which actually helps you teach.

What would you improve about this program?
The staff were really helpful and found me some great options for short-term teaching placements in Asia, but it'd be useful if there was a similar section online which you could browse as well.

Exactly what I needed!

Hi!

This course was super handy, and I learnt so much more than I expected. Without it I'm not sure what I'd have done when I actually arrived in the classroom.

The grammar exercises were probably the most useful. There's a lot of terms, phrases and sentence structures which I simply wasn't aware of. I don't even want to imagine what it'd have been like if I had just walked into the classroom without this training. Nightmare.

myTEFL also helped place me in a school in Taiwan, and I'm currently loving it here. The city, mountains, people, food... it's just something else.

I'm also really thankful for the teaching skills and curriculum development modules... they've helped me turn dull lessons into fun activities. It's already making teaching way more interesting for me and the kids in my class.

10/10 for me.

What would you improve about this program?
120 hours is a little long... so naturally it gets a bit dull... but that's something I guess all courses have in common. If you want a visa for a lot of countries, you need the 120 hour course. Just have to put your time in now and reap the benefits when you start your life abroad :D

Good course for the money

I didn't really have the time or money to go for a teaching course with classroom experience, so I went the online route.

As it was so much cheaper than the courses with on-site classroom training, I was concerned it might just be hollow with nothing useful. However, I was completely wrong.

I learned a lot, picked up some great skills, and certainly benefited from its flexibility.

Would recommend it if you're in the same boat as me.

It'd be good if you could add a module of in-class training.

Decent course, no complaints at all.

Really can't fault the course at all. Easy to work through each lesson, the software was very user friendly, and the staff went out of their way to make sure I was happy.

Not sure what else to say - if you're looking for a great TEFL course, here it is!

What would you improve about this program?
At first I thought an app for my iphone would be sweet, but i'm not sure if that'd be too casual. There's a lot of content to absorb. It's probably for the best to sit down and think about it.

Recommended course!

My dad bought this course for me as a present. I have to admit that it wasn't what I expected, nor what I wanted at the time.

However, after the first week I was hooked. There's a real sense of achievement with progressing through the course, completing exercises and hitting milestones.

I haven't tried any other courses like this before, so I can't compare it to other companies. All I can say is from my personal experience, this course was simple, easy to understand, and the customer service was always fast and friendly.

Have recommended it to my friends.

What would you improve about this program?
Some social features would be interesting - sharing my progress on Facebook etc.

Straightforward and simple.

To my surpise this course was actually quite interesting. There's a lot that goes into teaching English which I hadn't considered. Phonetics, grammar patterns, managing a classroom, designing tests etc.

My-tefl sets out the information in a really clear and simple way. You can tackle each module in your own time, and you always have a good idea of your progress. I personally found it useful to easily know where I was in the course, and what's coming next.

Another great thing about this course was the live tutor support. Whenver I got stuck, or needed that extra hand, I could reach out and chat with someone. Sure, I could have made it without them, but it helps to really understand it. That's what you're paying for, right?

Highly recommended course. They're even helping me to find a work placement for when I graduate university later this year!

What would you improve about this program?
I guess it got a little boring around the half-way point.

Great value and support!

Greetings from Korea!

I enrolled last year after hearing that you need a 120 hour TEFL course to obtain a visa for teaching here.

As a native speaker, I wasn't sure what benefit I could get from an online course, other than finishing with a certificate. The answer, I can tell you now, is a lot!

I definitely took my language skills for granted before taking this course. You may learn to speak English through 26+ years of life, but you don't appreciate the skills needed to teach it.

MyTEFL helped to break down all the complex parts i'd used without conscious thought, and give me the ability to teach with confidence.

A huge thumbs up from me. Affordable, super friendly, and they even helped me find a good school to teach at! 10/10.
