Global English TESOL Courses

In the past I'd helped out with the administrative side of TEFL classes. I got to know some folk that would happily have English instruction, but I felt totally unprepared to embark on this. I looked extensively at TESOL offerings and decided on Global English as they offered courses that were accredited and were very helpful in answering my queries. They had just started to offer online courses, which suited me as it could fit my own schedule. I completed the 150 hour level 4 course recently and it has given me complete confidence in moving on to teaching English and equipped to do this.

The tutor support was excellent and any questions were answered and I felt there was a genuine interest in my learning experience and personal progression.

I found the material was well structured and challenging, especially creating lesson plans and learning grammar.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the course that I did. In the future I would consider doing one of the specialist courses such as teaching 1 to 1 or teaching business English.

I have just finished the TESOL level 3 course and feel completely happy with the experience, completing it in eight months. I started with no in depth knowledge of English grammar, although studying English Literature at college, I felt the grammar would be quite daunting. My previous career experience has been as an Art teacher so English was not a top priority. I am also a slow learner having problems processing information and come under the dyslexic spectrum. However I found the learning experience very comfortable. The modules were clearly explained, and in bite sized chunks. Whenever I struggled with a module I emailed my tutor and she promptly replied with simple and easy to understand advice. The modules were marked within two days at the most and the tutor comments were comprehensive and helpful.

I found the lesson plans quite difficult as they differ from art lessons but managed to get through them with pointers from my tutor. Altogether I learned a lot more about English grammar that I had ever anticipated. The Tips and picture examples were helpful and the links at the end of each module were great.

I have completed many courses in my career, both at college and university. The learning experience in some of these has been uncomfortable and sometimes unstructured, with unsympathetic tutors who don't always seem to know what they were doing. However my experience with the TESOL course has been completely the opposite, there is no comparison. The structure is second to none, the depth of teaching is very good and the the tutors are completely professional.

My plans are to teach English online and later to travel in Asia, probably Thailand, to teach there. I feel prepared and look forward to the rest of my teaching experience.

I am a qualified English teacher and I want to branch out into TESOL. Because I don't need the teaching practice element I decided to go for the 120 hour on-line course. I found the course very helpful, with plenty of practical and theoretic ideas to help the potential TESOL teacher. There was good interaction with the course tutor and all the Units were well paced and interesting. The sections on Lesson Plans were, for me, the hardest, but also the most useful in many ways because this element is so important.

If you are thinking of doing this -or any of the Global English courses - you should be sure you can plan your time effectively so that you get the most out of the modules. Remember that you can always ask your tutor if you're not clear on anything.

When I first started looking for a TEFL course I was overwhelmed by how many options there were and by how expensive they were. I wanted something that would be accepted by any company I chose to go work with and that wouldn't take all my money.

Global-English was the perfect find for me. It's accredited, online and flexible, includes the practicum, and is fairly cheap. The teachers always responded immediately, gave clear answers to any of my questions, and helped me with any additional information I needed.

I chose to work in South Korea and am currently living on a gorgeous Korean island, teaching at some amazing elementary schools, and enjoying every moment of this new adventure. I am grateful to Global-English and this class for helping me on my way! Not only has it helped me land the job but I have definitely used the skills I learned while taking their course! It's a fantastic option for any teachers ready to start a new adventure! Best of luck! :D

The 120 hour TESOL course with Global English is a great program to choose. The support staff are all incredibly helpful, and went out of their way to assist me with documents and other things I required, even responding to me on weekends! The course is a great starting point for your TESOL journey. All the content was easy to understand and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great value course.
