Super

The online TEFL course was well-structured and engaging, covering essential topics like grammar, lesson planning, and classroom management. The interactive modules made learning dynamic, and the flexibility allowed for self-paced study. The course provided practical strategies and useful resources to build confidence in teaching English. While some sections could be more detailed, it offered a solid foundation for aspiring TEFL teachers. A great choice for those starting their TEFL journey! I would recommend!

TEFL Completed

The course was great and organized very efficiently so I was able to make important notes along the way! The course included just the right amount of information so that the content was thorough, but not too overwhelming. Despite this, they were able to keep the information interesting and engaging with the occasional interaction from James and the activities along the way.

Thanks, TEFL Nomad for the support with completing my TEFL! Iā€™m excited to start my TEFL career going forward with this knowledge.

A Good Course to Introduce or Refresh TESOL Knowledge

I studied TESOL for a year in University and looking to refresh my skills and get accredited so I could teach abroad, I took this course. A lot of the material was similar to what I'd experienced in my University course, with some areas getting more attention, such as teaching young learners specifically, which is what I am looking to do when teaching abroad.

The course includes regular tests to solidify knowledge, and at the end of the course has a final assessment which will call back your experiences on previous tests.

Great course

I really enjoyed how easy this course was to access no matter where I was. The flexibility allowed me to complete lessons at my own pace, whether I was at home, traveling, or on the go. The content was not only informative but also engaging, with a great mix of mini podcasts and slideshows that helped reinforce key concepts in an interactive way. The course kept me motivated throughout, making learning both enjoyable and effective.

I was recommended this course by my university as I am preparing to teach English as a Foreign Language in South Korea. It has given me a strong foundation in teaching methodologies and language instruction, which I know will be invaluable in my future role. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a well-structured, accessible, and engaging learning experience.

The content was comprehensive, covering essential topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, and language acquisition theories. The use of mini-podcasts, slideshows, and interactive activities helped keep me engaged and reinforced key concepts effectively. The practical teaching tips and real-world examples were particularly valuable in helping me understand how to apply what I learned in a classroom setting.

TEFL Nomad Review

I recently completed a course with TEFLNomad, and it was an incredibly beneficial experience. The course content was comprehensive, yet easy to follow, making it perfect for both beginners and those with some teaching experience. The lessons were well-structured, with clear explanations and practical examples that helped me grasp key concepts quickly. I particularly liked the end-of-unit tests after each module, which helped recap what I had learned.

Overall, TEFLNomad made the certification process smooth and enjoyable, and I feel well-prepared to start my journey as an English teacher. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get TEFL certified!

William Davies

Job Title
Travel Writer & Administrator
After graduating without a clear career path, Will took the opportunity to not only travel - but to live and work - overseas to gain perspective. Blissful and eye-opening experiences as an English teacher in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Romania mean that Will now helps aspiring teachers find similar opportunities through programme coordinating and travel writing.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Although I love the freedom of being a digital nomad, I miss walking into the classroom to be greeted by celebration and cheers from my primary students in Vietnam. One student even wrote my name on the back of his Real Madrid jersey - as if I was a famous athlete - which was incredibly endearing and exemplifies the influence and ESL teachers can have on students.

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

I've learned to be more open minded, understanding, and empathetic of applicants and people in general. After having done TEFL, I've adopted a mindset that everyone should do the same. However, people come from all walks of life and have their own obstacles, concerns, and apprehensions about leaving home and venturing overseas. Additionally, I've adopted many positive traits from many of the applicants who exhibit a healthy outlook not only on travel but on life in general!

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

An applicant who went out to teach in Thailand now dedicates her time towards caring for the stray dogs in her local area. Not only has she immersed herself in the community as an English teacher, but she also gives back to the community through caring for dogs who need treatment, sustenance, and other forms of attention. It's amazing to see how applicants can not only establish a second-home abroad but become active participants and provide for the community!

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

Although I am already TEFL certified, becoming certified with TEFL Nomad would have provided me with more perspective and insight into teaching English as a foreign teacher. These course modules would have been more fitting as I was unaware of the extent of not only the language barriers but also how cultural differences affect language acquisition in the ESL classroom.

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

Many TEFL companies lack expertise and insight from former teachers when it actually comes to TEFL. TEFL Nomad lives up to its motto of "for teachers, by teachers," which helps us understand the questions and obstacles that aspiring ESL teachers face. As a company which is entirely made up of ESL teachers in the team, we can put ourselves in our applicants' shoes.

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

Personalised support, frequent communication, and transparency. It's important to get to know the person who is providing services for you to assess the values and characteristics of those who you're dealing with. Personalised support in the form of direct communication can provide plenty of assurance and trust between the applicant and the company.
