Lane Q TEFL

I started this TEFL program when I was unemployed. It was a great hope for me that I would be able to teach foreign students something I was already very skilled in. My goal is to move to Japan and teach people English, possibly even how to do broadcasting in English. I looked at many different programs and it seemed this was the best product for the price. I started a new job half way through my course but was still able to dedicate some time to finishing the assignments. I think there are a few too many videos.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
It's easier than you think. Just follow the directions on the assignment and don't be afraid to get it wrong the first time.
Pros
  • Resume building
  • Personal achievement
  • Hope
What other participants should know
  • Dry
  • Kind of boring
  • Hard to keep motivated

Comprehensive program

I recently completed the 120-hour Level 3 TEFL course, and I must say it was an incredibly enriching experience. This comprehensive program provided me with a solid foundation in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), equipping me with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in this field.

One of the standout features of this course was its well-structured curriculum. The modules were meticulously organized, covering a wide range of topics essential for effective language teaching. From lesson planning and classroom management to language analysis and cultural sensitivity, each module was designed to address key aspects of teaching English to non-native speakers.

What made my experience unique?

Coming into this course I was both excited and anxious. I made the decision of looking at a couple of reviews online before deciding on this company. As a result, my experience has been educational, enriching and hopefully rewarding. Overall, the unique combination of comprehensive training, practical experience, individualized support, accreditation, and career development opportunities makes the course experience a valuable investment for any individual aspiring to become Foreign English Teacher.

What was your funniest moment?
Definitely, the creative lesson plan. Having being able to design a lesson plan and create teaching materials allowed me to tap into my creativity and innovation. In addition, I was able to develop engaging activities and resources tailored to the needs and interests of learners which made me very fun as much as challenging.
Pros
  • I enjoyed the practical exercises. Very educational and gives you confident and helps develop necessary skills.
  • The content was honestly amazing. Reminded me of primary. It offered comprehensive training on various aspects.
  • Lastly, having to obtain a internationally recognized certificate.
What other participants should know
  • Time and commitment. I honestly though 6 months would be enough. However, I ended up losing tract of time.
  • Cost. Yes, I had a very big discount. However, having no one to offer assistant made it seem unreasonable but it was worth it.
  • Varied quality. This basically supports my second con, which is to say I would have preferred the Level 5 course because of its benefits.

Good course

I wanted something to do to keep my mind active and to give myself a way of earning part-time. For me the ability to undertake this course, which was level 5, online was crucial for me now that my mobility is not so good. This training pushed me out of my comfort zone since my previous degrees have been in a scientific subject but there was always ample support there to help me when I needed it.

My intention now is to look for part-time online 1 to 1 teaching to help those who are starting off in University in England in scientific and engineering subjects, and after this course I feel fully confident in being able to do so.

A rich learning experience

The experience was very rich. I learnt a lot. One always thinks teaching english is an easy task if you speak the language. The topic i found most interesting was personal reflection after lesson. It has even helped me in my general life to diarise personal stuff. My plan now is to look for an online job and thanks to the support from TEFL it has been made easier. The course assignments were very tough. The support given by the team helped. Attending the online class was very helpful. Thank you for the great course.

What was your funniest moment?
The funniest moment must have been preparing the assignments. You write something and think it’s correct but when you revise your work and research more you actually see you off track. Thinking about it now it really is funny.
Pros
  • The support was really good.
  • The feedback from assignments was useful.
  • The website and reference material was top notch.
What other participants should know
  • The multiple choice question were a bit tricky.
  • The assignment was questions were a bit confusing.
  • The support online can take a bit of some time.

Level 3 Certificate

I absolutely loved this experience because I learnt so much about myself and my capabilities. This course brought out a side to me that I had no idea existed. I am so happy that I am now a qualified EFL teacher! I can't wait to start my journey as a teacher and see what the world has in store for me.

I am confident that I am ready to start volunteering and looking for work as an EFL Teacher. I am ready to embark on this new journey and change lives around the world! I am ready to visit different countries and meet different people - thanks to the TEFL Academy

What was your funniest moment?
In primary school, I partook in the annual sports. So this one day we were doing long jump and I fell face first in the sand!

Easy and flexible resume enhancement

I did not have a set plan to teach english as I have a master's in chemistry but I live abroad in germany and see my native English background as an opportunity to combine my science background with English in a teaching role. This a was a flexible opportunity to enhance my resume and hopefully find a niche where I can help my community. I loved that I didn't need to completely switch but could just add this to my current responsibilities and complete it on my time. I now feel more prepared to switch positions and find a teaching role.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do it

Accessible and worthwhile!!

This year I got a sudden inspiration to tutor English, and looked online for the best courses to help me.

The TEFL Academy had great certifications, was affordable, and once I started the program I knew I made the right choice.

The lessons were easy to understand, and the assignments were tough, but reviewed with patience and forgiveness. I breezed through the lessons but spent my time carefully on those assignments!

I feel like I actually learned how to manage being a teacher and would definitely recommend this to others!
