Excellent TEFL Certification Program

Jul 31, 2024

I recently completed my TEFL certification with TEFL Provider and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The course content was comprehensive, covering all essential aspects of teaching English as a foreign language. The tutors were knowledgeable, supportive, and always available to answer any questions. The practical assignments and teaching practice sessions were invaluable, providing real-world experience and boosting my confidence. I highly recommend TEFL Provider to anyone looking to pursue a career in teaching English abroad.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice to future travellers in the TEFL program is to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Embrace the local culture, be open to new experiences, and make an effort to learn some of the local language. Networking with fellow teachers and locals can provide invaluable support and enrich your experience. Additionally, be flexible and adaptable, as unexpected challenges may arise. Lastly, stay organized and keep track of important documents and lesson plans to ensure a smooth and rewarding teaching journey.

TEFL

Jul 14, 2024

This course has helped me become much more confident in my english skills, along with teaching me how to be a teacher. I have learnt a lot from this course and my assignments were always marked very quickly, meaning I could progress through the course with no issues. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to get their TEFL qualification. I am hoping to travel abroad and teach english now that I have completed my 120 hour premier online course, which is something I have always wanted to do. It has been made possible by doing this qualification!

Review

Jul 4, 2024

My main issue was the website would randomly crash during a lesson and kick me back to the dashboard page. But otherwise, it was good content, well organized, and the feedback was very in depth. The grammar section was very informative, and did a good job building on the concepts as it went along. I hadn't really thought much about methodology, but that section really opened my eyes to how critical having an organized method is for a class. The course did a good job showing how methodology can make or break a class, and I am definitely going to be using all the advice in that section to plan out my lessons! I'm also glad to have been shown how online lessons work, because I want to start with those first.

What was your funniest moment?
Probably thinking up some funny ways of explaining content/ or playing games. I took an online course. I'm guessing this review page also asks about in-person programs.
Pros
  • Self-paced
  • Time to think about homework
  • Can repeat lessons
Cons
  • Website crashing
  • Not in person
  • No physical practice

Wonderful Experience

May 30, 2024

I just recently completed my 120 hour TEFL online course and just wanted to share that I felt the video content was superbly informative. I feel very confident that I have the skill set to start my journey teaching English to foreign students. I also wanted to add that my tutor, Dee, was incredible to work with. She was always accessible and kind and very encouraging. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in broadening their skill set and monetize what they have learned at TEFL.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do not be afraid to reach out to your tutor. Mine was incredible. Also, it is a good idea to jump back and review video content even if you have successfully completed a module to keep your chops fresh!
Pros
  • Great video content
  • Challenging Assignments
  • Amazing Support
Cons
  • The written assignments could use a little more examples to clearly show what is expected
  • Some of the videos could have actually been longer

Gabby's Input

May 28, 2024

The information was straightforward and the lessons were easy to follow. Some of the written assignments were a little too much and would be better split into smaller portions. Instead of one long lesson at the end, that lesson could be split up into three smaller chunks and then the student could do the one big lesson at the end. This would help process the information and make it less nerve-wracking for people in the program. The tutor was very helpful through the entire process. Having a supporter like a tutor is the key to a program like this.

What would you improve about this program?
The pacing. Some of the lessons are a little too fast.

Why did you choose this program?

TEFL was recommended to me by other travelers overseas. Many people stood behind what an easy and thorough online program it was. I found it was so easy to navigate, print, and study. It was so easy to do homework from any destination I was at. There were many resources that were given, and that helped me out so much. TEFL gives you up to six months to finish the certification but I didn't actually need that long – which reduced any pressures I was worried about!

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

I didn't need to organize much. That's how great the program is. Had I needed any tutoring, there was tutoring available. Anytime I sent an email with any concerns, I would get an immediate response. It was pretty much self-explanatory, and that was the best part about it. In the past, online classes were a bit intimidating to me, but not the TEFL. Easy breezy!

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

The only thing I wish I had known was that TEFL even existed; I would have done it sooner! TEFL has changed my life. I’m always telling people to look into getting certified. There are so many freedoms and opportunities that go along with it. Life is too short. It has allowed me to travel and take control of my finances. Go get it!

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

Daily living abroad is amazing. It’s much more relaxed and enriching. It’s truly fantastic to live in a beautiful location and work fewer hours. I was able to work less hours in a day, and do my photography and other artsy projects I had going on. Life for me was fuller. My week was filled with creating value and creating art. Couldn't ask for more!

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

My biggest fear traveling abroad was that I wouldn't be “employable”. However, once I found out about this program, I felt hope. I applied for jobs immediately after starting the program. So many companies were ready to hire me. I was automatically put at ease and knew I could travel freely and not be concerned about money.

Weren’t you scared traveling?

People usually want to know the dangers of traveling. I traveled with a group so I felt "safer". However, if I had the chance to do it differently, I would have traveled alone or just with one person. Traveling in a big group had proven to be difficult.

I was timid at first but realized that most locals are very welcoming because they really want to learn about the western culture.

What is your favorite travel memory?

During my third year at university, I took part in the Erasmus Study Abroad program. I studied in Seville for 6 months and loved learning about Spanish culture, traditions and obviously tying all the amazing food.

We had a few long weekends away but my favourite one was Morocco. We got the ferry from Tarifa to Tangier and visited a few towns and cities in the north of Morocco. I fell in love with one called Chefchaouen which had nearly all of its walls and floors painted different shades of blue. The local markets were also really cool and I got to try out my haggling skills!

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

I would say that I have definitely been inspired by our students!

I speak to people from all over the world on a daily basis and in most cases, I get to hear their stories, plans, and dreams.

Whether it's someone who has just finished university and is looking to try out teaching for a short while or it's someone looking to completely change their career and move abroad to teach, it's a big step to take!

I think I'm definitely more open to trying new things now and just saying...why not?

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

We have heard back from so many students that it's hard to pick one.

I have to say that my favorite one is from David, one of our graduates. After quitting his retail job and selling his property in London, he traveled for 12 months, visiting 24 countries! Towards the end of his trip, he realized that this was not a lifestyle he wanted to give up so he decided to complete a TEFL course. Since then, David has been living as a 'Digital Nomad' and teaching English online while traveling all over the world.

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

I am currently working through our 120-Hour Premier Online TEFL Course and have also attended our 20-Hour Weekend Course.

The classroom course sounded really intensive at first, but it was so fun and interactive. The tutor taking the course was really great at getting everyone involved and making us all feel confident enough to plan and deliver our own lesson at the end of the course.

If I was to use the qualification to teach, I would definitely consider our Vietnam Teaching Semester. I'd go for this as not only do you have a teaching position arranged for you, but you also have full in-country support for the duration of the program and you get to meet other newly qualified EFL teachers from other countries.

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

I think one of the things that make us unique is that we are a relatively small team so there is still that personal touch involved. Whether you are contacting us via live chat, email or phone, it's likely that the same person will respond.

I think the support that we offer not only prior and during the course, but also after completion also makes The TEFL Org unique. From tech issues to checking your CV and offering advice on finding work, we have a great team all willing to help.

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

I believe that a passionate team of people who are open to change and willing to try new things will always push a company forward.

It's great when you hear that someone you helped at the beginning of their journey has gone on to secure their dream teaching job. I think this keeps everyone in our team motivated to do our best every day.
