The TEFL Academy Reviews

I have yet to leave on my adventures but having done the course with TEFL Academy I feel confident in my abilities to be the best I can be. The course was well structured, balanced, had great tests and was loaded with extra reading and research activities. The support staff and staff and tutors are friendly, helpful and generally brilliant people. Their comments and constructive criticism made me feel confident and proud. I would recommend TEFL Academy to everyone that wants to teach and travel abroad.

This was a great experience! Even though I am a native speaker, I still learnt a lot more about my own language! Bring on the TEFL! Bring on the travel! I truly think this is a brilliant course, and the best valued of its kind.
The assistance was one of the best things I found on this course. The instruction was immaculate, and allowed me to pass the course at my own pace. The 168 hour level 5 TEFL course also allows you to have 6 months to complete it, which is more than enough time! With just an hour of study every day, you can complete the course in under half that time. Being online, it is an extensive self-study course with unlimited flexibility. This TEFL course with The TEFL Academy not only opens up new opportunities for work in the future, but is an excellent toolkit for anyone aiming to embrace the English language!

I found the TEFL course I did to be very well-structured and all of the concepts were explained clearly. The two classroom days were very helpful, especially as the teacher had completed the course and used the qualification to get work abroad. The slides on the website are easy to navigate, and the tests at the end of each module were properly designed to recall everything we had learned. It was funny to see the developers of this course using the teaching methodologies they were telling us about on us, but they proved their effectiveness!
The feedback on the long assignments is exhaustive in detail, and helps you improve each time.
I would recommend anyone to do a TEFL course, not only can you teach English, you are given an insight into how teaching any group any subject works best, which is useful for anyone who wants to tutor people professionally or work somewhere where they will be doing a lot of mentoring or briefings. We didn't just learn grammar, but how the psychology of the class can work, and how ideas about language teaching have evolved over recent decades.
Sometimes discounts are available on the price of the course just before their closing.

The course was very helpful and it taught me a lot. The experience taught me to get out of my comfort zone and not be afraid to take on new challenges, it’s not easy teaching and the TEFL finds the best way to teach , it brings a creative and unique to teaching , that should be applied to all school systems throughout the world. It was a good experience learning and doing the work , I got a lot of good feedback and I learned how to handle difficult situations in a suitable manner. The course is great and I will recommend it to many more people. It is a life changing experience and it is a good way to discover hidden talents, for example I didn’t know I would be so good at teaching until I did the course . I would like to thank the TEFL academy for the opportunity

My name is María, I'm from Argentina and I'm living and working in China.
I came to Asia as a traveler interested in discovering a country that had always seemed surprising and intriguing for me.
I settled in Zhuhai in the south of the country and began to meet people that helped me discover my passion for teaching.
Job offers came up but I needed more experience. I did a lot of research about the best courses and I finally chose THE TEFL ACADEMY Online Level 5 TEFL Course without a doubt. The offer of courses is great, varied and the certificate is the most serious and recognized worldwide.
I finished Level 5 and it was really useful, interesting and challenging. I improve my skills and found a job in an English Center where I'm teaching young learners.

The course is a sound basis for aspiring language teachers, providing logically organised and academically supported information. The exercises and assessments guided me to develop practical skills in lesson planning, teaching and classroom management, anticipating realistic situations one would come across in their teaching practice. The course has also provided a wealth of further teaching resources for future use, which I have saved on my laptop. It is excellent value for money! Although I recognise that I need to practice to hone my skills even further, I now know how to exploit online and written resources to advance my practice and to meet identified needs of my future students. The course stressed the importance of student assessment and the need to tailor the teaching material to meet identified aims and objectives.

The Tefl Academy provided me with a great experience. I was taught many valuable lessons, and my skills were sharpened. I enjoyed all the challenges and tasks that the course had to offer. I was challenged to learn more about a wide variety of teaching matters, and to sharpen my own knowledge and skills regarding the English language. During my studies with the tefl academy, I learned a lot about myself, and about how I manage to complete tasks under a set time-frame and stress. The Tefl Academy helped me along the way whenever i had problems or roadblocks regarding my work and assignments. I would definitely recommend this course to anybody who wishes to gain some extra skills in the English language. The course is well worth the money that it cost.

As a graduate of the University of Cape Town, I've had some experience with Online Courses. The TEFL is so much more than that, though. With its wide variety of modules neatly separated into various categories that teaches so many things, it never feels overwhelming or too challenging. Simply put, it exceeds all expectations in terms of content, presentation and overall experience. A fresh and comprehensive take on blended-learning that is welcomed with open arms such that it does not solely cater to people working in Education. This course is surprisingly thorough and no subject ever feels inadequate or unfinished.
I would highly and comfortably recommend this course to anyone, regardless of their interests or field of work. It has something for everyone.

After living in Australia for a year doing a working holiday visa, I was back at home in Vancouver. It seemed like nothing had changed... I had gotten the travel bug really bad... so I started looking for ways to experience living abroad again. I discovered that many people teach English as a ticket to living somewhere new. Although my academic background is Biopsychology.. I thought it was time to try something new.
I was seeking an affordable way to achieve the TEFL certification on my own time, and The TEFL academy provided me with that, so it was perfect for my intentions.
The only thing that this program was lacking is recruitment help.. and I didn't find it very challenging.
Luckily, my friend from university was looking for a replacement in South Korea, so I was able to take over for her and start my adventure.

To me this course was full of enjoyable and unforgettable lessons that improve my teaching experiences a lot. I really recommend this course to those who want to teach English for the first time. In my opinion, If you start powerfully, you will never defeat. The knowledge you gain from this course opens new doors of success to you. By taking this course successfully, you will have an opportunities to teach overseas as a volunteer, internship or for the jobs containing lots of facilities and opportunities to learn a new language as well as being culturally literate. In its assignments you need to do your best and show your creativity for designing activities to motivate learners and let them work harder than the past.
To sum up, TEFL course Level 5 taught me all the information I need to become a greater teacher.
