The TEFL Academy Reviews

I really enjoyed their backup service, trainers were knowledgeable and quick in response, and kind to answer all my questions. The online program was thorough as I was able to review my past knowledge and learn new methods and techniques of teaching with them. The way they returned my assignment and their feedback on it was positive and fair while addressing my weak points. They also provide a lot of tips and further reading resources for the future, I already bought a book from them regarding punctuation book and enjoy reading it. I would definitely recommend these people for training in English teaching online or abroad.

I was worried that the course would be boring and dry but it was not. I found it extremely useful and was interesting. There was a lot of depth in the information about teaching styles, planning, theory and so many tips as well as resources provided. I have a huge bank of resources and knowledge to draw on now and I'm very glad that I chose this course over some of the other less intensive ones. While it was interactive due to lots of quizzes and exercises, I think there could have been a little more live support from real instructors during the program, maybe through live lectures that are integrated into the main course material or something like this.

The whole experience was very valuable. The contents of the units are relevant and straightforward. They’re guided so you can go through really easily, at your own pace. For those who don’t have any experience in teaching, you’ll find the assignments completely useful as they provide real-life case studies. Also, the course provides model templates and further references where you can find helpful ideas and tips to create activities, design and plan lessons and so on. All in all, the level 5 course integrates theory and practice in an engaging way.

I'm very happy that I chose to do this course. I'm even happier that I completed it. I must admit, I found the first assignment (there are three in this course) incredibly overwhelming and I was ready to throw in the towel. I felt that there was an information overload and it all became too much. It's incredibly detailed. If you're thinking of doing this course, you have to really want it. It's not something you can do half-heartedly. The assignments are all a lot of work and demand a lot of your time. In saying this, however, I enjoyed the Units, the Interactive Activities and the Tests. I learned a lot and for this I am grateful. The tutor support was extremely prompt. I already have many years teaching experience as a Drama teacher, which is why I chose the online TEFL course.

My experience was unique in such a way that I got involved in mentoring the English language to some high school learners while I was still busy with my online TEFL course.
Furthermore, they are non-English speakers in my area from Somalia. With my experience with the TEFL classes, I also managed to assist them with English word pronunciation.
Future participants must enjoy taking the course because, in my personal experience, I have learned that English is like a bridge that connects people, nations, and countries.

Enjoyed my time studying at TEFL, it was outside my comfort zone but learnt a lot. Content was engaging and a good mix of text, video and activities. The assessments were challenging and forced you to think which is great preparation for teaching in the real world. Only piece of positive criticism would be to delay the first assignment to after module 6 as this module had loads of great content I would like to include. Apart from that a well run course with good support throughout. If anyone is thinking on doing their tefl I would recommend.

I truly appreciate what I learned from this course. My teaching skills improved significantly. I recommend to pay for it and enjoy the adventure.

I am currently teaching english to kids and adults, and thanks to this course I have become exceedingly skilled at my teaching. In this program, you will learn from relevant theories of how to teach English to the history of language teaching and even of how language is acquired and learned. Therefore, this journey will make you shorten a whole career into a 6 month course.

As a teacher that just began her career, after finishing this course, I feel so much confident. I use religiously very resource I have from The TEFL Academy and also their pieces of advice and information.

Regarding the lessons, I felt like they were placed in a logical order and quite intuitive to follow. Moreover, the language used felt appropriate and comprehensive for anyone who wanted to learn how to teach English.

The team was so kind everytime I needed help and guidence. Also, their feedback was very useful and precise.

In other words, thank you The TEFL Academy for all the support given. 100% recommend this course.

I was working in finance where I had no passion, time for travel and experiencing cultures and life.I wanted to pursue a career change however I was reluctant as I would have to study again and I did not think I would have time to do so and worried about risking it all to start again. However The TEFL academy extinguished all those fears,I feel that the academy has made me more than capable to achieve my dreams and goals internationally. I managed to finish while working and I'm ready to be a teacher and confident in my ability to teach and have a new start in life, because of my amazing experience my life partner has started the course and we are both ready to take life in our hands and live our international dreams.

The Tefl Academy Online level 5 course is an excellent, organized, thorough and useful course for anyone looking for a part time job, extra income, or future career. Administration is made easy with an easy to navigate website and assistance is always there in case of need. I thoroughly enjoyed the course as it was helpful and engaging throughout.

I learned a lot and feel equipped to begin the journey as a TEFL educator.
