Program Reviews

When I enrolled in the TEFL Academy Level 5 course I had very little knowledge of the ESL world. I had done extensive research on ESL courses and finally selected this one. The first Unit felt like Gibberish to me, honestly. I realised I had just stepped into a whole world I did not know existed. How daunting! However, for a long time, I had wanted to do a course in ESL teaching in order to gain the freedom to work from almost anywhere in the world. What I discovered along the way though, proved much more valuable than getting a certificate to benefit career-wise. The course offered so many interesting facts and viewpoints on learning and teaching language, and provided sufficient examples and scenarios for me to get a deeper understanding of the ESL world. The student support and markers were also extremely reliable, prompt and courteous; I always felt at ease making any queries or requests. By the end of the course, I felt very equipped to begin my career in ESL teaching, and I am starting to feel like a part of this wide and curious, open and wonderful world of ESL! I'd certainly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in ESL teaching - a warm welcome to the ESL world awaits you in the TEFL Academy!

Taking the Online Level 5 TEFL Course provided by the TEFL Academy was an excellent experience that truly delved into the various challenges of teaching. This was not a "simple" course by any means; I found it challenging, especially the assignments, but it was incredibly interesting and engaging.

The flexibility of the online format was perfect for me, as it allowed me to balance my full-time job and responsibilities as a mum to two young kids. I could pace the course as needed, which really worked well for my busy schedule.

Overall, I highly recommend this course. It offers a thorough and engaging learning experience that is both challenging and rewarding, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to expand their horizons and prepare for future opportunities in teaching.

The program was very insightful because it pushed me to refine my knowledge of the language that I am preparing to teach. Writing, spelling, and grammar are 3 important aspects of teaching a language and I think that the TEFL Level 5 does an excellent job at covering all elements.

Additionally, the training is highly practical when it comes to teaching the material and lesson planning. It covers several teaching techniques and provides resources that can be used to enhance teaching and to engage the students.

I’m now excited to teach my students online and feel more confident in providing them with productive and practical lessons.
