My Highest Recommendation

At Vantage TEFL, an enormous amount of preparation went into the class content. Each lesson has been prepared with supplemental material and excellent teaching slides. They do not re-state the content of the course book

This is particularly true of the grammar lessons. I was previously taught English grammar as a lot of rules that had to be memorized. But at Vantage, grammar was presented in a systematic and realistic way.

I also sing high praises for Vantage’s approach to lesson planning. Previously, I had the impression that lesson plans were just an administrative burden. However, after learning how to formulate professional lesson plans, I now see them as an indispensable tool. Classroom sessions don’t intimidate me as before because I now know I can deliver my class in a systematic way. The lesson plan raises the level of quality of the class I teach and increases my confidence going into the classroom.

Vantage also excelled on the employment front. Their Jobs Coach taught me how to create my own Power Resume and cover letters. This has been enormously helpful to me. Instead of a laundry list of past jobs and education, the Power Resume shifts the focus to what I can do, and the teaching skills I have to offer the employer.

Shortly after completing the course, I already have two interviews scheduled and several requests for more information indicating some interest from those schools or agencies.
Everyone at Vantage is very supportive and are ready to help every step of the way.

I experienced some practical difficulties during the class that were health-related and the Vantage team was very supportive in helping me get through those problems.

The most important question to be answered in any review is “Was the Vantage TEFL course worth the time, money, and effort required?”. For me, this is an emphatic “Yes!”.

I feel well-prepared to assume teaching duties and, just as important, I feel well-prepared as a job seeker. If you are considering a career in teaching English overseas, I give Vantage TEFL my highest recommendation.
