The TEFL Academy Reviews

This is the perfect TEFL course for anyone looking to teach online or in a foreign country. Easy to use interface, can be used on all mobile devices so you can complete your TEFL course on the go. The course also provides loads of additional helpful material and links to teaching aids that you can make use of while teaching. The end of unit tests provide good coverage of the material contained in each unit. The test questions are direct and unambiguous. The assignments are fun to complete and allow for individual creativity.

This course helped me to focus and improve my teaching skills, giving me the opportunity to analyse different ESL teaching method. The couse is well presented, and covers the most important topics.
The course provides further readings and additional resources useful to support your learning as you work through the units. Without this further material, maybe the course would be a little too basic, so depending on your study method, i suggest to use it as much as possible.
Unfortunately, within the online course you won't practice what you learn in a protected environment (eg. tutoring, internship, class activities...).

I would highly recommend the Level 5 TEFL Course. I think it is a very well thought-out syllabus which gives plenty of, both inside and outside, resources in order to improve one's teaching. The course has not only made me feel more confident as a teacher, but also has inspired me to keep thinking of new ways in which to make a lesson fun and engaging for students. I originally expected more practical training, however, I think that the course offers enough background and tools in order to effectively apply these skills. I think this is an excellent course.

I have just completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) from the TEFL Academy and I must say that I really enjoyed the experience.
The course was challenging, but at the same time very satisfying, and I felt that it covered every area in depth. It was also extremely good value - I'm not sure how they manage to provide this much material and level of attention from the assignment markers for the price.
As with all courses of this type, you need to put the effort in, but if you are prepared to do that, I cannot think of a better course for the money. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend it.

I'm so pleased there was an entirely online option for the course as this made it affordable for me. I found the course challenging and I feel quite prepared to start teaching with what I've learned. The assignments were marked quickly and thorough feedback was given. A little more tutoring along the way would have been appreciated but enough guidance is given in the instructions and videos that its not a problem. Overall, I'm very happy to have been recommended the course and I would recommend it with gusto to anyone considering getting into TEFL.

I am currently studying bachelor of education in foundation phase but wanted to have a TEFL certificate as they work hand in hand and eill help me achieve my future planned adventures.I began my TEFL course in July and have just successfully completed it! The assignments were quite different to the usual because I had older people in mind instead of my usual 9 year olds! I have nkt begun travelling yet but I can't wait to use my TEFL certificate be it overseas in the future or online for now! - Meg

I liked how everything was organised and explained in a comprehensive way. I was taught how to design a teaching plan and given tips on making it work, given an exam on creating an actual plan and was taught the importance of paying attention to the mindset of a student and remembering not to assume knowledge on their part and thoroughly explain everything. This course has given me a great foundation to start my career. And considering the price, it has over-delivered. I've enjoyed the journey with the TEFL Academy and I'd choose it again if I went back in time.

The course provided by the Tefl Academy is an all-rounder, leaving you with knowledge across all the areas required to be a successful EFL teacher. I personally think that the feedback given after each assignment is very helpful and some tutors go above and beyond to support your future achievement and understanding. Each module is supported by assessments and exams and overall, leaves you feeling ready to go out and teach. I would give the course 9/10, as some small grievances such as the ability to download course-notes could improve the functionality of the course material.

Well organised and thought out course. Tuition days are a great chance to learn about the classroom. The assignments are lengthy, but can be achieved part time if planned out well. The instructors provide excellent feedback, which will help you with your teaching and progression with the course. Topics are varied and consider every aspect that you could want to cover as a trainee TEFL teacher. For the price, you will receive good tuition, excellent support and a good understanding and knowledge of the world of TEFL.

I loved every minute of this course and would highly recommend. It had been a while since I had been in education so I was apprehensive, but all my worries were soon diminished. There was more than enough help at hand an the resources provided were top class. At the drop of a hat you could email a tutor or tefl academy and they would be back to you within a day. The content was most informative and I feel more than prepared to teach English to any nationality. Throughout the course it’s so easy to imagine yourself in a classroom and that was very liberating. Glad I chose this company.
