The TEFL Academy Reviews

The course completely fulfilled my expectations. I've learned so much about teaching methods for all the different skills like reading and listening, as well as how to approach grammar and pronunciation. It gave me many interesting activity ideas to use in the classroom. It has also covered multiple teaching aids, their advantages, and usefulness in different situations. I have received in-depth training on how to plan different types of lessons, considering the needs of specific groups (adults, teenagers, mixed nationality groups, etc.). What I enjoy the most about the experience of taking this course is the constructive feedback provided by the assessors to each assignment. I got to know exactly what I've done right and what needs to be fixed, without feeling discouraged. The assignments were always marked on time. All that while being on my own schedule and not having to leave the house. 10/10 recommend!

I found the course to be very challenging, I thought because English is my native language that it would be fairly easy but it was completely the opposite.
This course is tough but if you are committed and passionate about teaching, you will enjoy the challenges it offers.
The feedback given after each assignment is very honest and very constructive.
I have learnt a lot about English, teaching and a good feeling of accomplishment after successfully completing my course!

There were times that I felt like giving up as the work is very new, and there are certain parts that are difficult to understand and its easy to feel overwhelmed. My advice is to do a little bit each day, do not leave it and try a chunk over a weekend and then only pick it up 3 weeks later. This is a consistent learning programme and my advise is to tackle a bit every day to keep your self motivated and especially not to easily overwhelm yourself.

At first I thought this course was going to be a breeze, however whist working through the contents of the course I was surprised at the attention of detail provided. Perhaps because i am a native English speaker some concepts were taken for granted. I learned how to explain concepts in a simple but meaningful way by going though the course and watching TEFL videos.
I would highly recommend that prospective students attend the face to face teaching session as the interaction was fantastic. It's also an opportunity to share learning with fellow students

Be prepared for the assignments, at times I found myself over thinking and answer. The best way is just start writing down your points and slowly your answer will build.
Overall- awesome

The TEFL academy Level 5 online course was very successful in preparing me with the necessary skills and knowledge required to work with various levels of ESL students with regards to teaching english. I had allot of support and never had to follow up on any email or ticket request. The assignments were somewhat challenging and the instructions could have been clearer, but in the end was very well structured.
I required a course extension because i didn't finish within due time, the extension was very reasonably priced. My partner also did the course and found it very interesting, the course covers most if not all aspects required for teaching english to a foreign language and helps the teacher to understand various problems that might arise when teaching.
Highly recommended.

I took this course at a difficult time in my life but the support I received at TEFL Academy was incredible. The online portion of the course was very well laid out and the progress tests and assignments were very easy to understand. The three assignments push you to think outside the box and give you a good experience of what lesson planning will be like in future placements.

The lesson material was very well thought out as well and gave you examples of issues you will likely experience in any classroom setting, as well as examples on how to treat these.

Overall, I felt as though it was a very comprehensive online course with a very good complimentary inclass session. I did my course over two days and though the days were long, the instructors were incredible and made the time fly.

Definitely go with TEFL Academy

Enjoyed the online TEFL course.

Despite not having any experience in TEFL, I found the course easy to follow, informative, challenging and rewarding.

The modules and ongoing tests were well managed to confirm knowledge and gave the reassurance needed when following an online course.

Had to take a break but was available to avail of an extension.

Assignments are informative and challenging but can refer to the modules for guidance and suggestions. Assessors provide useful feedback enabling amendment and resubmission. All feedback is constructive.

Looking forward to receiving certificate and commence searching for employment opportunities.

This course also provided an opportunity to reflect on the construction of our own language - shame we dont learn our own language in this manner at school!

It was actually really fun, saw new places and met a lot of different people, kind and friendly and made so many friends. My apartment was small but it was adjustable, apart from that the people i was giving class for, is so much fun and made me feel so welcome. I really recommend going overseas, it's a great experience and you see things from a different perspective. I came across new and different products, some was surprisingly good and some was terrifying. But at the end of the day it's just another beautiful place with human beings who will make you feel absolutely welcome and going overseas is not so bad, it really takes a short time to find friends and actually become family and its doesn't take a while to feel home, with the right intuition and positivity, any place can feel just as special as home.

I am so grateful I went to the two days of lectures beforehand because I was guided and given assistance I would've struggled without. I really enjoyed spending time learning throughout the course, working through the course material and completely the tests and assignments. It was challenging in many areas but I loved doing it, and found it to be incredibly valuable and beneficial. It extended me and provided me with the opportunity to build on my knowledge of the English language.
The TEFL Course has helped me to teach more effectively, even in South Africa in a variety of subjects.

Currently I am completely m PGCE and I am finding it to be so much easier because of the way the TEFL Course set me up and helped me to gain a greater understanding of how to go about teaching and how to be an effective teacher.

The course was enjoyable and informative. The clear online content was well structured and thorough and made me realise how limited my knowledge of my native tongue had been. The online units covered vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, how to teach receptive and productive skills, lesson planning, teaching methods and classroom management, and lots of help on finding and using teaching resources. I now feel I have a decent foundation on which to start a new phase of my life.
The online material was complemented by fun and confidence-building classroom activities delivered over an intensive weekend by an enthusiastic tutor. The three assignments were demanding: they required a significant amount of time and thought to complete but really cemented the course material. The feedback on the assignments was comprehensive and encouraging.

The TEFL Academy online course was challenging and provided me with all the necessary knowledge needed to start my career in TEFL. The staff was always professional and friendly and all interaction done with them was well received (even the silly questions at times). They reassured me when querying about the course and lived up to the expectations up until the end upon receiving my certificate. The assignments were a bit difficult but upon reading and researching, I was able to figure out exactly what to do. The staff also assured me that they would assist in building my CV and assisting in finding work. TEFL Academy is really one of the best around. Other companies online seemed to scam their clients. TEFL Academy gave me the confidence to start this new venture!
