Program Reviews

The TEFL Academy's Level 5 course is well-regarded for its comprehensive curriculum, covering essential teaching methodologies, grammar, lesson planning, and classroom management. It offers flexible learning options, combining online modules with practical assignments. Accredited by international bodies, it meets high teaching standards, making graduates competitive in the global TEFL job market. The course is user-friendly, with supportive tutors, though some learners find the workload demanding. Overall, it's a solid option for aspiring teachers.

The Telf Academy has opened a lot of doors for me. They've provided plenty of opportunities for both personal and professional growth. It took less than a week after completing the course to see the fruits start bearing.

For great support, every step of the way, and an in-depth understanding of teaching both online and in person I would recommend The Telf Academy. They provide fun and interactive practice by applying what you have been taught. I feel part of an evolving and connected community.

Growing up in a diverse country such as South Africa, exposed me to many different languages, cultures, socio-economic backgrounds and history. As a result I developed a passion to further educate myself about these unique differences of our “rainbow nation”. Though each category of difference was imperative to explore, the eleven national languages of South Africa stood out for me. It made me question English as a medium of instruction in the country and as a universal language.

When I started asking myself these questions, I was taken aback by how many people are required to learn English to embark on their educational and professional endeavours to become successful. This made me curious about the history of English and the influence of the language on other countries. As interesting as my findings were, it still left me with more questions: how non native learners are able to become fluent in the language, how they are able to overcome the various challenges and barriers while learning a new language, and more importantly, how it later impacts their life. Thus, I discovered that the only way to provide myself with these answers is to experience what it would be like to teach a foreigner English.

As a result, I started my TEFL journey with the TEFL Academy. Even though I completed my course online, it equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to teach English as a foreign language. More importantly it taught me that language and culture are two important aspects of the students’ learning process as most of them travel abroad to learn English.

As soon as I finished the course, I applied for jobs in my country and was successful in finding one. When I started teaching, I felt so prepared, excited and driven with passion. Thanks to the unwavering support, guidance and profound yet intensive educational experience from the TEFL Academy, I was able to navigate through my job with ease and in turn answer some of my questions. Additionally, it also sparked an interest in me to travel and teach abroad.

Who knows, maybe in the future, teaching English as a foreign language will be a topic of interest to pursue when I study for my masters degree.

The course is time effective. You can fit the course into your busy schedule and work on it when you have time. They provide a lot of support and information about everything related to the course. They always answer an email when you need help. When the course is finished they provide a whole lot of resources for what you can do afted you have completed the course. The informaton provided in the course is really helpful and teaches you a lot. They also provide recourses within thd course about each topic to help you after when you get a job in this specific field. I would recommend this course to anyone who asks.

The TEFL Academy offers an outstanding learning journey for anyone looking to start their career in teaching English. The course content is clear, comprehensive, and engaging, covering everything from grammar and lesson planning to classroom management. The flexibility to work at your own pace was perfect for balancing the course with my other commitments. The support team was incredibly responsive and helpful whenever I needed assistance. Overall, it’s a fantastic option for anyone wanting to earn a globally recognized TEFL certification with plenty of practical advice and resources. Highly recommend!

I am thrilled to share my experience completing the Level 5 TEFL course with The TEFL Academy! This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I couldn't have done it without the outstanding support from the tutors.

From the very beginning, the course materials were well-structured and engaging, making it easy to dive into the content. However, what truly stood out to me was the responsiveness and encouragement from the tutors. They were always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and offer guidance. Their dedication made a significant difference in my learning experience.

I feel confident and well-prepared to start my teaching career, thanks to the comprehensive training and the supportive community at The TEFL Academy. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering a career in teaching English as a foreign language.

Thank you, TEFL Academy, for this incredible opportunity!

Warm regards,

It's been a joy following this course, I felt great support as in the beginning, I was a bit uncertain. But all went well, the topics are really well designed and lessons follow up perfectly...

All thinkable topics are mentioned well written and shared in a very easy-to-understand language... I liked studying this course a lot. I would do it over again right away.
