The TEFL Academy Reviews

I began the level 5 course in my final year of high school. I finished it recently. I chose to take the course because I thought I could use the skills it taught during my gap year.

Although I'm unable to travel during this time because of the global pandemic, this was still a valuable learning experience. As the we adapt, so does the academic world. Many universities in South Africa are providing classes online. I'm really grateful for having taken this course online, as I had to develop a good work ethic and needed to learn to improve my time management. I think that, should a situation arise that requires universities to 'go online' again, I'll feel more confident about studying and working from home than I would've without the experience.

I think that the content provided and the ease that one can navigate the website with also made my first online learning experience more enjoyable.

If you're looking for something to do during your gap year other than travelling or working, learning new skills with The TEFL Academy is a must.

I am a Chinese Professor of Computer Science and I wanted to qualify as a TEFL teacher to give me an extra level of skill in teaching and mixed-nationality classes where English is often the common language but sometimes it is badly communicated. I now feel more qualified to help students to improve their communications in such cases. Although I have studied English for a long time I found the course to be more challenging that I thought it would be, but now I have completed it, I feel good about myself. I'm now glad that it was hard to do because now I know that anyone who is TEFL qualified by the The TEFL Academy has a good qualification.

I found this course to be insightful and well organized, learning material was easy to access, clearly set out and full of valuable content. I would recommend students to study this, for possible teaching opportunities but even just for your CV if you are living in a country where English is not the first language. I would suggest students work consistently on their course as the learning content and assignments do require quite a bit of energy and time, leaving it all to the end will not benefit you.

During lockdown in the UK, I was able to focus my attention on the TEFL Course which is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I found the website to be clear and easy to navigate around. The content was also exceptional. I enjoyed working through the units and I found the tests to be a great way to solidify my knowledge.

For assignments, the feedback was well communicated and easy to understand. Overall, a great experience and definitely a great value for money. I look forward to getting out into the industry now!

I have found this course quite challenging and opened my mind to my own language!
I had an extremely pleasant experience undergoing my level 5 course through the TEFL academy. I had no problems navigating or understanding the course and the requirements thereof. The instructions provided throughout the course were fully comprehensive and the online platform was extremely user friendly. The teaching material was well presented and fully comprehensible. The TEFL academy is extremely helpful in terms of providing access to teacher’s resources and material. The content of the three assignments provided valuable practical experience. The assignments were graded promptly and the feedback given was constructive and meaningful. Having completed the course, I feel confident that I am qualified and equipped to start teaching students. I would definitely recommend the TEFL academy to friends, family and associates.

I really enjoyed this course as it was structured in a way that made sure you knew what you had learnt before moving onto the next topic(this was very beneficial for me). It is also very easy to understand what to do-very informative throughout the course and it does prepare you by applying what you've learnt in theory and putting it into practice in the assignments you have to submit. Their support team also made a huge difference to the course as they answered any questions I had and still do after I've finished it within 24 hours. Overall it was worth what I spent but if I had to list the one point about it that should be added, I'd say that they include some online teaching practice with real people but other than that like I mentioned before it was well worth what I spent.

I enjoyed learning about TEFL through the 168-hour online course. The material was comprehensive and covered all topics related to teaching in all kinds of environment. I also enjoyed the assignments. It was always very helpful to have the team available to answer any query at any time. The course provider also offers ongoing support in terms of job search, which i am looking forward to! Thank you very much, TEFL Academy! I am looking forward to embarking on another course so i can specialise further in this field soon.

The TEFL Level 5 online course was challenging, yet highly enjoyable. It has a perfect combination of theoretical and practical training and knowledge. The constant assessments compel you to concentrate and truly learn the work. The assignments have a practical aspect to them. They also require a lot of creativity and a lot of thought. The unit on English grammar proved especially challenging! The course is well designed and user friendly. I am now going to do the top-up course in 1:1 and online teaching. I can't wait to start my online teaching.

This program is an easy and efficient way to get a Tefl certificate! I loved the resources and activities. They were all very useful and I can’t wait to use some of the ideas I learned in my own classroom! Having online class made it very easy to do readings or lessons whenever I had free time! I really liked that each i it was divided into specific chapters. That made managing my work much easier and made me more efficient. I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to teach or travel abroad in the future :)

The course is interesting and informative while also being fun! Every section gives new insights on teaching English that help you form an opinion on what kind of teacher you want to be. The website is easy to use and their support is unending. With all the useful information and links they provide, I suggest taking down as many notes as possible and doing each activity to give yourself as much practice as possible. Would definitely recommend this course for someone who cannot do the combined course.
