Program Reviews

Was an awesome experience learning he different techniques one would employ when teaching English which will greatly help me as i embark on my journey. Thankful for the knowledge and theory within the course coupled with the basic testing after every chapter which helped me in terms of my understanding of the course content. The assignments were challenging but fair, they did take a lot of time personally but aided in providing a foundation of how meticulous i will be need to be when preparing my lesson plans for students. Overall i would highly recommend the TEFL Academy course

I loved the TEFL 5 course I did. First, I thought that at the age of 65 and working on International luxury cruise ships for 20 years, I knew how to speak English, but to my surprise I had a lot to learn. I had a little struggle with the assessments because there were some of the old videos on YouTube, so it was confusing, but I got it and, because I am still in the age where I want to do everything without asking for help, naturally it took me some time. I learned that you are never too old to learn and discover new things to do. So I am very happy to say that I will recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their English and also wants to make extra money or do it to travel. I am planning to give lessons online as I am busy doing homeschooling for my grandchild, who is in grade 7 at the moment.

This course has been an eye opener in teaching and the methods The TEFL Academy uses. The approaches and technique in teaching are very student friendly in the fact that students interact and use the target language for practice. I enjoyed the course very much. Further more it enables the teacher to have all students be in a relaxed environment with other students and the teacher as well, by fully interacting in class. Again the course helps the teacher to practice methods of helping students to think very actively in class.

Using the TEFL Academy to obtain my TEFL qualification was really straightforward and simple. I loved the self-guided learning, and the fact I could take it at my own pace. Any time I asked for support, the responses usually came within a few hours, and although I was skeptical to not have a dedicated 'tutor', in the end these fears were unfounded and everything worked really smoothly.

As for the course itself, I was really able to get a good handle on TEFL life, and what I'd need to know, and the assignments were great fun to complete. I would recommend it to everyone if they can do so.

The course was very engaging and easy to follow . It made it easier for me to understand what is expected of a TEFL teacher and what to also expect if given the opportunity that teach in another country . Everyone from the teachers , admin etc were very helpful. When doing interviews I took what I learnt in the course and applied it during the interview. It eased whatever anxieties I had regarding being an ALT teacher . I stumbled with alot of problems with regards to the course but every issue I have had was fixed seamlessly through a simple email .

This TEFL Level 5 (168-hour) certificate course was a completely new experience for me, as it was my first time studying TEFL online. At the beginning, I felt a bit nervous about completing the assignments, but the student support staff were extremely helpful and always guided me whenever I had questions. Their support made a big difference in my learning journey.

I genuinely enjoyed all of the units in the course. Each one was presented clearly, well-structured, and included a variety of engaging activities that made the learning process both effective and enjoyable. I also appreciated the wide range of additional resources provided, which allowed me to explore topics in greater depth whenever I wanted to.

Overall, I feel that I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge and have been equipped with practical tools, ideas, and inspiration to move forward in teaching English. I am very glad that I decided to take this course, and I would highly recommend it to others considering a TEFL qualification.

My experience with the TTA lesson has been truly positive and very beneficial. From the beginning, I found the lesson to be well-structured, clear, and easy to follow. The content was presented in a way that made learning enjoyable, even for someone who may not have a strong background in the subject. The lesson was detailed, yet it was explained in simple terms that helped me understand the key concepts without feeling overwhelmed.
One of the things I appreciated most about the TTA lesson was how organised it was. Each topic was arranged step by step, which made it easier to learn progressively. The lesson did not rush through the content but instead took time to explain important points properly. This allowed me to build my confidence as I moved from one section to another. I also liked how the lesson included examples and explanations that related to real-life situations. This helped me understand how to apply what I was learning in practical settings, not just in theory.
Another impressive part of the lesson was the interactive nature of the learning process. The quizzes and assessment questions were very helpful because they allowed me to test my understanding after each section. Whenever I got an answer wrong, I was able to go back and review the material, which helped me improve. This made the lesson more engaging and motivated me to focus more. It also helped me identify areas where I needed more attention, which is important for personal improvement.
The lesson also provided useful information that is relevant to professional development. I found the teaching style and learning materials to be professional and educational. The explanations were straightforward, and the lesson was designed in a way that encourages learners to think critically and develop strong knowledge. I felt like I was gaining valuable skills and understanding that could be useful in my career and future studies.
In addition, I found the lesson very flexible. I was able to study at my own pace, which made it convenient to balance learning with other responsibilities. The platform was user-friendly, and navigating through the lesson was simple. This made the overall learning experience smooth and stress-free. I also appreciated the fact that the lesson provided a supportive learning environment, where everything was clearly laid out and easy to access.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the TTA lesson. It has helped me gain new knowledge, improve my understanding, and build confidence in the subject. I would definitely recommend the TTA lesson to anyone looking to learn and improve their skills in a structured and effective way. The lesson is informative, well-prepared, and worth the time invested. I am happy with what I have learned, and I look forward to applying the knowledge in real-life situations and future learning opportunities.

I recently retired after a life working in science, engineering and business. After living in France for the last 12 years I realised that I want to stay in this wonderful country. I thought it would be a good idea to try my hand at teaching English, partly as an intellectual challenge, partly as a social activity and also to get a little bit of extra pocket money. The TEFL Level 5 course offered by the TEFL Academy has been the perfect introduction to this new phase of my life. I now realise there is a lot more to teaching English than just being a native speaker. The TEFL certification has given me the confidence to start teaching at the Institut International Langues et Affaires in Rambouillet, which I am enjoying very much.

I recently completed my TEFL course, and I wanted to share my profound experience while learning and growing in my teaching abilities.

The course materials were incredibly engaging, allowing me to dive deeply into the nuances of English. I appreciated the structured approach to language acquisition, which built a solid foundation for my teaching. The resources provided were invaluable in enhancing my understanding.

I'm now empowered to teach English to a diverse range of students, from early learners to adults. I also feel equipped to venture into teaching business English, which is an exciting prospect.

Initially, I felt a bit daunted by the workload, balancing my work and study time. However, I dedicated myself to learning something new. The presentation style of the materials made navigating the course easy. If something wasn't clear at first, I could reread it, which significantly improved my understanding.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience, and I am now a qualified English Teacher, ready to take on the world!

Thank you for this transformative opportunity!

I was able to complete the 168 hour level 5 course at my own pace. The platform was available for me during the intense period that I put myself through to get this certification. There were evaluations to test the attained knowledge after each section and there were assignments that were checked by other peers, the response time for the evaluations was within the set time frame. The course was properly structured, with plenty of information and it even referenced other sources to gain more information on how to become a successful teacher.
