This course is definitely unique

This is an excellent course and is really well structured. The units are well set out in order and there are videos to guide you along the way . When asking for assistance the staff replies almost immediately.
The assignments are challenging but very fun at the same time.
The feedback on assignments is excellent.
I have done another course with a different company and I can definitely say that The Tefl Academy was worth it. All materials given before and during the course is very helpful and informative.
I enjoyed this course to the fullest!

Great 👍

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... There is an abundance of material available and I would like to mention the great diversity of ways to implement the learning for teachers. 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.

What was your funniest moment?
The films provided are really funny sometimes and help me a lot with learning...

Would recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed enrolling into this course. The level 5 course that I selected enabled the option to add on classroom learning too. Being amongst other students helped to consolidate my learning. The tutor was excellent and I really enjoyed his learning style - it was a fun and interactive day!. The online content was suitably challenging but that's to be expected for a level 5 course. The tutor support was very efficient and informative and I always felt assured that help was at hand. The layout of the course asell as the content was interactive and varied which helped to maintain my interest and understanding. I have already recommended the course to friends and would highly recommend it to others!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was quite nervous doing the role play during the class based learning but once I was paired in my groups I felt immediately ease. The tutor was very supportive and I felt great overcoming my fear of public speaking especially given it is central to role of being a teacher
Pros
  • Varied content
  • Prompt feedback
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Further support for jobs/careers needed

Review

The Level 5 TEFL course was a great experience for me. It taught me how to be a good English teacher. The course had many useful lessons that showed me how to plan classes, manage students, and explain difficult ideas. I liked that the course focused on practical skills, so I could practice teaching right away. The teachers were helpful and supportive, and I met other students online who were also learning. Some parts of the course were challenging, but that made me learn even more. Now I feel confident in teaching English to students from different countries. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to become an English teacher. It's worth the effort! The course is well-organized and easy to follow. I learned many new things and improved my teaching skills. If you're interested in teaching English abroad, this course is a great place to start. It opens doors to exciting teaching opportunities worldwide.
