Excellent program

Jul 1, 2026

Great program. Excellent support. My tutor Angie was supportive and very responsive in marking my assignments. I was amazed at the resources that were provided as part of the course. Also impressed with all the support groups connected with the TEFL program. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to obtain their TEFL credential. I am also impressed with the price of the course and the value that was presented to students. The number of resources and tips available was also very impressive to the students.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The amount of resources that were available to students.

Practical, supportive and well-organized

Jun 30, 2026

I had a very positive experience with The TEFL Org. The course content was practical, well organised, and easy to follow. I especially liked that the teaching methods were realistic and focused on situations that teachers actually face in the classroom, rather than just theory.

The tutor feedback was detailed and helpful. Every time I submitted an assignment, I received clear suggestions on how to improve my lesson planning and teaching methodology. This helped me think more deeply about my teaching and become more confident in designing lessons.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their teaching skills. Thank you to The TEFL Org team for creating such a valuable learning experience.

What was your funniest moment?
Sometimes the lesson videos were so relaxing that I accidentally fell asleep while watching them but I always went back and finished them later.

Excellent preparation to relaunch my TEFL work

Jun 26, 2026

I received my MA in TESL over 30 years ago, and have not taught in about as long. As I return to TEFL, I was very pleased with the TEFL Org course. It sparked old knowledge and taught me new skills and frameworks. And it was simple, accessible, and structured in a way that reinforced learning from many angles. The self-pacing and ability to return to videos, download scripts, etc. where all valuable as I juggled life, work, and TEFL studies.

I will confess that I am out of the "homework" and "assignment" habit, so was surprised by the Instructor's feedback on my initial submission. Surprised in a marvellously positive way. His rejection, twice, was absolutely founded, and I was grateful for not only his honest challenge to my work, but also his comprehensive guidance on how to do better.

TEFL Org wants to produce/support good teachers, and I hope I will be one again. Knowing that TEFL Org remains a community I can connect with and count upon is a reassuring thing. I will highly recommend the course and TEFL Org to others seeking to train or improve as TEFL teachers.

Really Good course

Jun 20, 2026

This course was really good. I teach math but I also want to offer English so I will have more opportunities. This course helped me understand how to prepare and to teach English classes. It was also nice to get a refresher grammar course since I haven't reviewed grammer in a long time. I also didn't know how I would teach an online class. The module for teaching online classes really helped me to see how online classes are a good opportunity to teach from anywhere. I feel a lot more ready for to teach English now.

Pros
  • Work at own pace
  • Flexible
  • Good quality at affordable price

TEFL Org 120 hour course

Jun 2, 2026

This was an enjoyable and really useful course. It's broken down into 5 separate courses coving Grammar, Methodology (How to Teach English), Teaching Large Classes, a video observation course and Teaching English Online. I also took the additional course of using AI in the classroom, which is also a graet resource for lesson planning and preparation.

I was assigned my own personal tutor who provided help, support, encouragement and feedback throughout the course.

So thank you to Joanna and the TEFL team. It's a great course and I'm very proud to be a qualified TEFL tutor!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Keep going if you do this course. The first 2 courses, Grammar and Methodolgy are the longest and most involved, then it becomes easier to get through.

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.
