The TEFL Academy - WORTH IT!

As an older student who already had an MA I was a bit skeptical that this course would offer value, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only was this course a great fit with someone who already had years of teaching experience, it also helped me with my own language acquisition in Brazilian Portuguese (I live in Brazil) The learning methods transfer into other languages and I found it engaging and thought-provoking. And for the money - there isn't a more valuable certificate program out there.

What was your funniest moment?
...looking for their phone number for an hour before realizing they don't offer phone support!? LOL I don't know....as I was an online student there wasn't the hilarity that ensues in traditional classrooms.

The best Online TEFL Course you will find out there!

I first heard about this certificate a several months ago and started looking for reviews but didn't find anything good. Afterwards, I was scrolling on Instagram and found another Argentinian girl (Caro Piqueras) who talked about the TFL Academy and the wonderful experience she has teaching both abroad in Thailand and online from home in Argentina. I didn't hesitate on reaching out to her and asking for more info. This certificate was everything I was looking for and it has exceeded my expectations. I've learned things I didn't know I needed to learn and I've been able to succesfully put it in practice for the assignments. I'm really excited to start my new journey in teaching english and I feel totally confident and prepared now!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have put even more time in every unit to absorve more information. I've loved this course!

Excellent TEFL Program

What a valuable program! I really enjoyed the course as it was also very informative and educational. The platform presentation is also very professional, structured appropriately and makes for easy learning.Apart from teaching a variety of learners online, I will also be applying what I have learned in my tertiary education lecturing classes. I would definitely recommend the program for teaching english to young and adult learners. It is also a globally recognized program so it will definitely be worth its weight in gold abroad as well.

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps touching on business english as well and incorporating elements of that into the course.

The TEFL Academy

I started the TEFL course last year December and I really enjoyed doing the course. The TEFL Academy provided me with all the materials that I needed to be able to complete the course. The TEFL Academy gave me interesting materials and allowed me to grow as a teacher. The in class section of the course was really interesting and gave me excellent practice and guidance for teaching students in the future. The course was really well presented and is definitely recommended to anyone who would like to teach.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve-racking moment was teaching the in class teaching section. I overcame this with great support from the mentor at the in class event and the support from fellow students.

Level 5 combined course

The Level 5 course was challenging and it was really interesting....the academic content was really informative, I honestly learned a lot from this course, both fro the academic content and research links provided in the course. I love that the course was self paced, I was able to take my time on the more challenging sections without having to be concerned that I was going to run out of time. both the technical and academic staff are extremely helpful, I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to do an esl course.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve wracking experience was having to wait for my final results, I literally checked my emails 6-7 times a day. Eventually I got my results and was beyond relieved to get a pass result

Not a walk-in-the-park

When you think about becoming a teacher, remember that as a teacher you are an instrument in shaping someone's future. This is a comprehensive study course, so plan well ahead to finish the course in the allotted timeframe. It is well structured and the assignments will need time, should you want to get a good grade. When you receive your certificate, it is well deserved and you can start working with confidence. Being a TEFL graduate, you are globally available and you can shape your route while shaping some other futures.

What would you improve about this program?
I would like to have some kind of (electronic) handbook for future reference.

TEFL Academy Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the TEFL experience - the material was great, practical and relevant which is beneficial to teaching English as a foreign language. The course balanced a whole range of things from grammar right through to classroom management which was so valuable. Undeniably, the assistance of the people from the TEFL Academy which included admin and tutors was exceptional with a quick turnover time and always so willing to assist. The feedback on assignments was always constructive. A great experience!

The TEFL Academy level 5 online course

The level 5 TEFL online course was the first course I have ever taken as a fresh high school graduate, and it has motivated me and raised my confidence enough to take up more future courses! My experience was great. Although there are high standard requirements which have to be fulfilled, I have only faced low pressure as this course provides all the help and chances one might need, from experienced teachers as well as ICT personal! I recommend the TEFL course to other (young) people who want to pursue a foreign language teaching career. Completing this course is so rewarding, and extremely beneficial for your teaching job application.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Don't be afraid to use tickets to ask for advice! I thought that asking for help or advice of the course teachers would lower my assignment points, but this couldn't be further from the truth. The teachers are very pleasant and always prepared to help you with all your problems. Thanks to the little help I have asked for, I have successfully completed my course assignments.

Super Informative, well structured and ample time

The time allocated to finish this course is more than enough, I’m excited to be an EFL teacher, the assignments really get you thinking as a student and a teacher in both shoes. I learnt a lot in this course and would recommend to anyone that is keen to add a few hours into their day, whether they are high school graduates or a retired business man/woman. This course does not discriminate and is beneficial if you want to make an impact in the lives of those that are willing to learn English regardless of their age or background.

What would you improve about this program?
It would be good to have a few Online video lessons with a lecturer, at least a set number of lessons within the 6 months
