The TEFL Academy Reviews

I’m absolutely thrilled to say I recently passed my TEFL level 5 course! I was skeptical at which provider to go with and I know I definitely made the right decision going with teflacademy! I found the course quite tough at times, but I have also learnt so much. The feedback on my assignments helped me a lot and I couldn’t be more happy to have completed the course.

I am now completing my online top-up course with the tefl academy and delighted at how easy it makes studying online for people who have a busy lifestyle etc. 100% recommend!

I was already working as a teacher when I decided to take this course. I had wished I had gotten a certificate like this sooner because I learned some very useful things I could readily implement into my classes. Not to mention it would have given a boost to my resume. Having a some of the background knowledge and theoretical understanding of teaching methodology was helpful as well. I also really appreciate the job search support they offer after you finish the course. I will use the resources to look for jobs!

This is a good comprehensive TEFL course, very well structured and packed with content - everything you must know to start teaching English. I really enjoyed completing it - all the information flows logically and the collection of extra resources is extremely helpful for deepening the knowledge. I had no previous teaching experience but after completing this course I felt comfortable teaching 1:1 straight away. I am now in the process of setting up my own business. A very useful course for all the future teachers.

I had no idea what I got myself into, but I am so glad I did my course with them. The material covers so much more than what I could have expected! I would have like more videos with examples, but overall a great learning journey! There are so many quick and cheap courses available out there, but I can see the difference between a proper accredited course like this one and a quick course. This course equips you in a way no quick cheap one could do. I really learnt so much and can't wait to start a new chapter in my life!

My overall experience with the Level 5 TEFL course can be summed up in three words: rewarding, intense and challenging! Rewarding because I have studied a very detailed course, learnt many useful and helpful concepts and now have a teaching qualification, intense because it was a very short amount of time to work through a lot of material and the assignments were also very complex, and challenging because it was a lot harder and in-depth than I imagined it would be.

With this course, you only have access to the unit you are working on. Due to the short time frame, I was relieved that the next unit could be started while waiting for the feedback.

The feedback for the assignments was always within the five working days expected time frame which was very detailed and constructive and much appreciated.

I am so pleased I have completed this course and I would recommend it to anyone who is in a position to teach English in a different country.

My experience is truly amazing,the course was easy and all instructions and information were at a fair level was there no need to ask for assistance for most of the course. I would have preferred to beable to start with my next assignment while the one was submitted so while waiting we could work on the next one. I want to further my experience with a class and new students learning different cultures and currently working with young children ensuring different techniques and lesson planning for them.. With my children they prefer work with play.. With the course I have learned how to include fun filled activities to keep the children motivated and enjoy the lessons. I felt this course was a great experience and I would definitely recommend others to take on the course, and a great opportunity for word of mouth to everyone I meet.

I found this course really helpful. Due to the online nature of the course, you have to be self-motivated in order to get through the content and learn it. The end of unit quizzes don't necessarily ensure full understanding, which is where you have to be accountable for your own learning. The assignments are a really good way of becoming accustomed to planning a lesson, including preparation of materials. The 20 hours of classroom experience was really enjoyable and a good place to have any questions answered.

I started this program not knowing what to expect. On arrival for the 20hour course I was warmly welcomed and the training is by far the best I have ever received. The online course was not easy but the instructions were clear and the responses from the tutors was quick and insightful. I would highly recommend this to any person wishing to obtain their TEFL certification. The course was extremely in depth and they provide vast amounts of further resources that can be used to gain a clearer understanding of the work covered.

Taking on this Journey was a quick decision and happy I took it on...Like I say if you don't try you never will know.

Since traveling the world to many countries I found languages fascinating. I realized I picked up the basic language quickly no matter where I traveled. Enough to say hello, thank you, I need, I would like, where is etc.

I lived in Chile for a year and picked up the Spanish Language with in 5-6 months and still speak it fluently. I currently speak English, Spanish, Afrikaans and Sign Language.

I love the idea that if you take the trouble to understand that persons language, you are respecting them for trying to speak to them and understand their culture. They in return respect you back knowing its not your first language, friendships form.

The course was very challenging, but it gave me many more great ideas when it comes to any type of teachings in general. It teaches one to use their initiative, research and network further.

There is so much to learn in each world of any type of subject. I look forward to starting my journey soon to teaching in various countries.

The units were easy to follow with many more self reads and further teaching materials.

The support team is efficient and fast at getting back to any queries.

I recommend this course to anyone that loves to work and teach children, young learners and adults. This is a great way to further ones career in the language and to make friends all over the world. Teaching another person grows their knowledge. Knowledge is Power!

I really enjoyed the course so so much and really didn't expect the in dept detail that I learned.
Every Unit has it's own challenges, but it really helped so much that I knew that if ever I needed help, I can just Email The TEFL Academy and a someone will be able to assist me.
The level of information in this course is really interesting and I learnt so so much of things I never knew and that will help me in my way forward in the EFL career.
Every unit also has a further Reading section were you can read up a bit more if you need more info and that helps alot.
Thank you so much for everybody involved in putting this program together!!
