Program Reviews

Completing the TEFL course through The TEFL Academy was an incredibly rewarding experience. From start to finish, the structure, content, and support provided exceeded my expectations and truly prepared me for teaching English as a foreign language. One of the aspects I appreciated most was the course layout. The online platform was user-friendly and made navigation easy. Each module was clear, concise, and well-paced, making it simple to follow along without feeling overwhelmed. The topics were broken down into manageable sections, and the inclusion of videos, readings, and interactive activities kept the learning process engaging throughout.

The content itself was excellent and very relevant. I was impressed by the emphasis on not just grammar and language structure, but also on practical teaching strategies. There were plenty of real-world examples and lesson planning exercises that helped me gain confidence in my ability to step into a classroom. The course also included training on how to adapt lessons to different age groups and proficiency levels, which I found incredibly useful. What really stood out to me was the support system. The tutors were approachable, responsive, and always willing to help if I had any questions. I appreciated how quickly they replied to emails and gave thoughtful, encouraging feedback on assignments. It really felt like the instructors cared about my progress and wanted me to succeed. Another highlight was the final assignment. Completing the lesson plan gave me a huge sense of accomplishment, and I now feel much more prepared to create my own lessons in the future. The course also includes helpful resources on how to find a teaching job after qualification, including tips for creating a TEFL CV and where to look for jobs. I now feel equipped not only with knowledge but with the tools I need to begin my TEFL journey with confidence. Overall, I highly recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone considering teaching English abroad or online. The course is affordable, flexible, and packed with valuable content. I’m grateful for the experience and excited to put what I’ve learned into practice.

Thank you to The TEFL Academy for such a positive and educational experience!

I was skeptical going into this program as I had read reviews online that English teaching programs are not worthwhile or below standard except the top tier ones like Cambridge which cost a lot of money. I can tell you the TEFL course is NOT a "pushover" course. I've taken two of their courses. They are well structured and very educational. You will need to put in the time and concentration to pass it, but well worthwhile. The customer support service is excellent as is the exam tutor feedback. Overall, you're getting a very well structured course, excellent support, very well made online site with great UX and knowledge you'll be able to utilize right away.

I enjoyed the course, I thought it was challenging but not overwhelming. The course is laid out in a way that keeps the learner engaged. The course is very thorough and covers alot of information in a short amount of time and manages to do this in a very digestible and smooth way. I would totally recommend this course to anyone trying to break into the English teaching industry. The work opportunities provide many options to work anywhere in the world. I felt like the homework was challenging but not unmanageable.

I had to redo my TEFL credentials and found the TEFL Academy to be an easy and convenient solution to my problem. The course is tailored in such a way that it especially cares for newer, prospective TEFL teachers; however, I felt that the program was a really interesting and refreshing take on the otherwise tedious pain of having to do another TEFL certificate. I would definitely recommend this program to friends and anyone else looking to get into teaching ESL abroad and then heading to Vietnam, as there are plenty of good jobs, people, and amazing food.

The Level 5 TEFL Course introduced me to so many teaching concepts I had never considered before, like innovative teaching methods and classroom materials. It reassures me a lot that I have been able to get my head around these parts of the EFL teaching profession before embarking on my own adventure. The course is really easy to follow too and is ideal for anyone wanting to support their CV while they work or study, but I would recommend doing it little and often, and you will finish it before you know it!

It was the best experience I've ever had. Thankful for everything. Currently waiting for my physical diploma to start my teaching journey. Easy-to-manage e-learning, professionally written themes, and curriculum. As this course is online, I wanted to finish it in a short time and succeed in one month. I really appreciate the effort that this course gave. Hope to get the perfect teaching job abroad with this diploma. I'm proud to be a TEFL Academy graduate, and I will continue to support this project in the future.

I found the TEFL course challenging for me. It's been a while since I studied and did coursework like this before. Once I got into it it worked out well for me and i managed to do it. I am now qualified and now preparing myself to be ready to teach online with platforms like preply to begin with.. I will be moving to Vietnam soon so this will provide me a great opportunity for a new and exciting future. I highly recommend starting this leveln5 course even if it's been many years since you have studied

Enrolling in The TEFL Academy’s online course was one of the best decisions I made as an aspiring English teacher. This comprehensive, well-structured program not only equipped me with the skills needed to thrive in the classroom but also offered flexibility and support that made the learning process enjoyable. For anyone considering a TEFL certification, I wholeheartedly recommend this course as a valuable investment in their teaching journey.The course’s curriculum stands out for its depth and practicality. Modules cover essential topics such as lesson planning, grammar fundamentals, classroom management, and teaching methodologies, ensuring a balanced blend of theory and real-world application. What impressed me most was how each unit built logically on the previous one, gradually enhancing my confidence. The grammar section, often daunting for many, was broken into digestible segments with clear examples, making even complex concepts accessible. Assignments mirrored real teaching scenarios, such as designing a lesson plan for diverse learners, which prepared me to adapt to varied classroom environments. The inclusion of multimedia resources, like video demonstrations of teaching techniques, further enriched the learning experience.

The course was an excellent way to improve skills and gain more knowledge as a teacher. It has definitely added value to my portfolio. I would highly recommend teachers or anyone who would like to pursue teaching to engage in this course, it is easy to work through especially with the efficient support of tutors. The course has a good balance between written information, examples and videos to support each lesson. The assignments are challenging but the markers are helpful with the feedback they provide.

I'm very happy with the course! It was comprehensive, covered many different areas of teaching, and consisted of a good balance of different activities (text, videos, interactive activities, tests etc). The self-paced timing allowed me to study whenever I could, and in the end, I completed the course in less than 3 months. The course also offered technical support and student support but I'd never had any questions to either of them.

Thank you! I feel much more confident and equipped with all the necessary knowledge to start my teaching journey 😄
