Excellent preperation for teachers to be!

This online TEFL course was very well structured. It wasn't only great for teaching but also to renew some grammar and language theory for oneself. I learned a lot of new teaching techniques that I am excited to apply in the future. Explanations and examples were provided appropriately for each of the sections. I did not really need it because the course is designed pretty self explanatory but there would have been assistance from the company any time. Overall, a great and absolutely managable challenge if you are committed to become a foreign language teacher.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do it. It will benefit you not just in terms of a certificate/qualification on paper but also personally.

I woke up with my TEFL certification on my doorstep! BEST DECISION ever!

It was at the time of the pandemic when I lost my job overseas and I decided to take this online course to pursue my other dream: teaching English to foreigners. Thankfully, my boyfriend looked very much into Let's TEFL's program and he recommended this for me to take. And it was the best decision we both have made. When the time came that I had to be repatriated to my home country, I started this course right away. One thing I liked most while taking this track is that I was able to finish the course while I am doing a part time job teaching English for Japanese students online and while looking for a regular job. You can take so much of your time to review each module and take the assessments right after on your very own pace. Another thing is their promptness to reply on your queries with the best they can. If they are offline, that is just fine because they will email you right away a response. No worries at all. They got your back! The certificate was also sent to me for FREE with a very trusted international courier plus a soft copy of it was sent to my email together with my lesson plan assignment score and feedback which are very precise and direct to the point. Noted on the pieces of advice. Thank you so much!

Now, I am very happy and excited to take my journey to the next level on getting hired abroad to teach English. For those who are looking for a certification course that is legit and trustworthy to provide you that TEFL license, I highly recommend Let's TEFL. I even made my self-introduction video commending this team in helping me get my accreditation. Right after this pandemic, I am so ready to gear up for my dream teaching career. Thank you so much Let's TEFL! All the best.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take your time. You can even do this course while having your breakfast if you are a morning person or while having your midnight snack. You can even finish this in a week or less if you are pretty determined in getting that certification right away. But do not rush this thing because the journey is so much fun to enjoy each module and it keeps someone working on him/herself to become a better person while learning in the process. Have fun and good luck on your teaching journey!

An amazing & excellent 120 hour TESOL/TEFL course.

An excellent well-constructed course, easy to understand. A team with a "Can do" attitude to help you always. I wish I had taken this decision to join earlier! but better late than never. Please act immediately to attend this course!
You must be enjoying a beach vacation while having a sun bath and teaching young students simultaneously. This really good for people who are adventurous retired with family in a beautiful country. Earn by teaching while you are enjoying your vacation.
Good Value for money!

What was your funniest moment?
Learning was made fun and gave a unique experience to go out to teach, enjoy visiting countries & Adventure. "Earn & Enjoy"

If you're looking for a sign on whether you want to take this course or not, well, THIS IS THE SIGN!

Let's make this short and simple:
1. Content- very easy to understand. There's a quiz after each lesson so you won't forget what you just read
2. Support- they've supported me all the way. They even helped me when I had a problem uploading the file for my final assignment which was the Lesson Plan sample :)
3. Value for money- This is the most affordable and legit TEFL course for me. I even got a discount code somewhere online ;) so that made it way more affordable.

Thanks Let's TEFL guys!!! :)

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I finished one whole lesson in about one hour. If only I could do it again, J would set my alarm for just one hour a day to do this and I would've finished it in 5-7 days instead of months. I got lazy because of this pandemic. Sorry 😅

Let's TEFL

Pros:
- Reasonably priced compared to many other TEFL courses being offered online.
- Sections have quizzes and are broken down into easy to digest, informative sections.
- Online support is available, and fairly fast email responses if they are offline.
- Final assignment is marked and returned to you within 7 days.
- Fast shipping of certificate.
- More than one chance if you fail the final exam or assignment.
- Staff will help you with finding an overseas placement if you wish.

Cons:
- Let's TEFL implies they are UK based however they are not. The address on Let's TEFL certificate is listed as London, however, the certificate ships out from Taipei, Taiwan.
- I feel they could have had a more in depth online tutoring section, it only really covers teaching kids online. I would have liked some more guidance on adult online tutoring.
- I have concerns over the privacy protection of students' personal information, I was accidentally sent the full name and address of another student which is quite concerning.

What would you improve about this program?
I would like a more detailed section on online teaching, that covered how to teach adults online in addition to children.

Why did you choose this program?

I chose the 120-hour TEFL Certification Program to have more and better opportunities career-wise. Everyone has dreams and I'm no exception. I want to reach my dreams, achieve my goals. That's why I chose this program: because I know that, by doing so, not only will I have lifetime opportunities, but also lifelong lessons I can share with everyone.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

They guided me when I had questions and doubts. They gave me their full support all throughout this journey - before I enrolled, while doing the program, even after I have received my TEFL Certificate. They weren't rude and were very helpful (even offering assistance when I'm not asking). They gave me additional notes and links to fully comprehend the lessons.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

You can never be too prepared or ready for something even if you think you've prepared yourself or even if you prepared long enough. I like to surprise myself. It's a lot more exciting to not fully know what's going to happen and learn it then and there, but that doesn't mean I didn't prepare beforehand. I'm also prepared, but I learned that you're only going to be skeptical about something if you expect too much or prepared yourself for something you were hoping for. So, expect the unexpected and just go with the flow.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

I did everything at my own pace and time, so I didn't really encounter that much of a problem. I studied three lessons 4 - 6 hours a day. After those three lessons, I would go back to see how much I've understood then I would answer the quizzes and homework. After I've finished all the lessons and took the final exam, I focused on finishing my final requirements and after I've done that and received my results, all my efforts and hard work paid off. It was all worth it!

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle change or meet new friends and not be able to fully enjoy. Of course, those were just fears that one can get over, which I did. Change is hard but inevitable. It was hard coping up at first, but eventually, as I accept change, it became easier. New faces suddenly became new friends and I certainly enjoyed every second of the experience. Just trust on your instinct, pray for guidance and assurance.

If you could do everything all over again, would you change anything?

If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change anything. I'd do it over and over again. It's a learning experience filled with lessons and blessings. I just hope it'll help more and more people in the future. Besides, who says "no" to opportunities knocking? Certainly not the dream makers nor the dream catchers.

Justin grew up in the UK before taking a gap year in Asia. Or at least that was his plan… he's been living and working overseas for 8 years now, and has never looked back.

After spending several years teaching and developing English language courses for schools in China, Justin joined the Let’s TEFL team.

What is your favorite travel memory?

There’s too many to choose from! I was once teaching in Beijing and over Chinese New Year, the weather was freezing cold and everything had shut down for the holiday season. On a whim, I decided to book a flight to the Philippines and go snorkeling.

24 hours later and I was on a beach with a San Miguel and a snorkel. The water was crystal clear, full of fish and I even got to swim with a sea turtle. There was something that felt so free about being able to just grab your passport and go do it.

The only problem was that when I flew back to China at the end of the long weekend, my class found my snorkel-mask sunburn especially amusing, and decided to feature me in their drawings. The pictures were not flattering, but the trip was great.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

My previous jobs have mostly been in rather heavily structured companies with clearly defined hierarchies. I had some creative freedom, but it was always within very concrete boundaries.

With Let’s TEFL it’s much different. We’re encouraged to work on our own projects, and let our ideas come to life. If anyone has an interesting thought then we’re free to discuss and go for it.

In fact, I just got back from a trip to Guangzhou last week… that’s one of these projects that we discussed over coffee last month, and I’ve been able to go and put it into action. But you’ll have to wait and see what that was!

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I was just talking with one of our course graduates this weekend and I couldn’t be happier for him. He landed in China a few days ago to do some traveling before starting his job placement.

Eight years ago I was in his shoes, and it was great to hear his first impressions - the people, the lights, the size of Beijing, the street food, the supercars, the rickshaws, etc. It’s hard to explain, but it’s a complete wave of new sounds and sights that you get to soak up.

There’s so much he’s going to learn in these next few days, weeks, and months. It’s such an exciting time and I know he’s going to love it.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

Our team brings over 15 years of teaching experience together. We’ve taught all over Asia, we’ve helped to develop classroom content used by schools, and we’ve been involved in the recruitment process for new teachers.

With Let’s TEFL we get to apply all of this experience to our course and job placement service. We’ve actually lived and breathed the teaching life, and have put our knowledge into a package which really gives new teachers exactly what they need.

We didn’t want to follow the trend of offering a range of different course lengths such as 40/60/80 or even 150/200/300 hours as we feel they’ve moved away from the essence of what a TEFL course should be - a complete package which provides new teachers with the skills and know how needed to give fun and educational classes to students of all ages.

I’m really proud to say that our course does this - in one concise package.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Without a doubt, it has to be hiring people who have a deep passion for what they’re doing.

If people are passionate about their job it shines through in so many areas. The company will be able to achieve so much, they'll be able to bring innovation to their industry, and it'll be a lot of fun at the same time.

I'd say that this also works the other way around - as an employee if you’re not passionate about the company you work for, and if you’re only arriving each day to collect a paycheck on the way home, then you need to go find something you can really contribute to. We all deserve more from life than that.
