Thank you it was a wonderful experience

I had a wonderful experience with myTEFL while completing my 120-hour TEFL certification. The course was well-structured, easy to navigate, and covered all the essential aspects of teaching English as a foreign language. The lessons were informative and practical, helping me build confidence in lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching methodology.

What I appreciated most was the flexibility of the course, which allowed me to study at my own pace while balancing other responsibilities. The content was clear, engaging, and suitable for both beginners and aspiring ESL teachers looking to strengthen their skills.

I would highly recommend myTEFL to anyone considering a career in English language teaching. It provided me with valuable knowledge and prepared me for exciting opportunities in the ESL field.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you're planning to teach abroad, don't be afraid to take the leap. The journey can feel overwhelming at first, but proper preparation makes all the difference. Complete your TEFL course seriously, take notes, and try to understand the practical aspects of teaching rather than rushing through the modules just to earn the certificate.

Research your destination country, learn about its culture, and keep all your important documents organized. Stay open-minded, adaptable, and patient because living and working in a new country comes with both challenges and incredible rewards.

Most importantly, believe in yourself. There may be moments of self-doubt, but stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to some of the most meaningful experiences of your life. Teaching abroad is not just about building a career—it's also about personal growth, cultural exchange, and discovering strengths you never knew you had.

Great Foundational Training

I used my tefl cert to help me prepare for teaching in Thailand and online. It was great foundational education and it's been super useful. I often go back to the course as a refresher. Good value as well. Overall this cert was well worth it.
I've been teaching in Thailand since 2024 and the cert has helped a lot. I think if anyone wants to teach abroad, the first step is to learn all the important knowledge and skills and this cert can help.
One other thing I really appreciate is the help and support from this organization.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
First day of class was intense! Its best to breathe and focus on the teaching and materials.

Amazing experience

Learning with MyTefl was an amazing experience. It was easy to use and the content was engaging. The customer service was very helpful when I needed it. I took the extra course in online learning which I found relevant as teaching English as a second language online is becoming more popular. I am looking forward to using my new found knowledge of teaching English as a second language in the future both online and abroad. I am confident that MyTefl will help me find the best placement abroad to use my new skills.

A wonderful 140-Hour TEFL Certification - Perfect for new college grads

I chose to contact MyTefl due to the positive reviews I saw posted online via both websites and personal blogs. I first contacted Mytefl.com with questions and all were happily answered (quite quickly) by Mislav. When I decided to take the course, I shared my college transcripts as a way to get 50% off my course since they offer a full-time university student discount. This made their already well-priced courses even more affordable. They quickly issued my discount and I happily began my 140-hour master course. As a non-education major who is seeking a job overseas, I found the MyTefl course easy to navigate and understand. I also loved the free tutoring they offer if any questions arise when you are completing their courses. Additionally, the material and quizzes are engaging and the MyTefl platform was easy for a novice like me to navigate. I also appreciate that this fabulous company offers a built-in library with a vast number of teaching resources their students and alumni can use in their careers, in addition to job placement assistance. I honestly have no complaints and highly recommend this wonderful TEFL course to anyone who is seeking a TEFL certificate or wishes to teach overseas.

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly feel the MyTefl.com courses are well-structured and ideal for anyone seeking a TEFL certification, whether they are in education or in another field like myself. Therefore, I would not change anything :-)

What is your favorite travel memory?

Wow! A tough question. There are a lot. Visiting an Old Believers’ village in Siberia, zip-lining in Thailand, going to Zhanjiajie in China, home of sandstone pillars that inspired the ‘floating peaks’ in “Avatar”, seeing the world’s largest complete dinosaur fossil collection in Ulaanbaatar and exploring coral reefs in the Philippines are some of them.

I’ll probably tell you a story of visiting Yunnan Nationalities museum in Yunnan, China. It covers a huge territory, and you can spend a whole day there. I saw homes, clothes and customs of over 50 minorities in China. This diversity struck me, even taking into account the big size of China.

It gets one to think about the world as an incredibly rich place, with hundreds of different cultures on the planet. We are truly lucky to see that.

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

As an educator with 14 years of teaching experience, years of ESL management and teacher training, I always knew what being a second language learner or a new teacher was like.

However, I was never part of the journey students take after the course is over. This job gave me a chance to learn about another side of the sphere I work in.

It turned out to be very exciting, and as education is one of the fastest developing spheres of life (including the breakthrough of blended learning and international education that we observe nowadays), there’s always a lot to learn.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

That would most likely be Teaching in China. This would be one of the most rewarding jobs ever. Chinese students are extremely hard-working, and they are motivated, too.

Kids are familiar with interactive approaches to learning from the young age, and hundreds and thousands of adults, who you’d think would be set in their own way and use more traditional study methods, challenge themselves in order to become more successful.

Besides, there are always professional development opportunities, and as teaching is a many-sided career, China an educator’s heaven.

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

I’m going to say, successful companies always develop. They need to be proactive and open to new opportunities, but they always remember why they are there and what their goal is. Not every company can change the world, but every company can become best at what they do.

They value their people, because each of them can contribute to the company’s greatness. You never know what (or who) will become a new inspiration for you, your customer or the company.

Prioritize your external and internal customers, be attentive to details, keep learning and trying out new things and surround yourself with people that share the same passion, and you’ll become successful. Greatness is in simple things.
