The TEFL Academy Reviews

The Tefl Academy provided a useful platform to learn on. Instructions were very clear which was helpful considering online courses can be very confusing. This was a logically set out course with a generous amount of examples given so you can truly understand the concepts as well as a variety of activities in between the coursework which provide mini tests so you can gage how well you are grasping the concept of the work. The activities are all very easy to follow and rather enjoyable in my opinion. The end of unit tests can be quite tricky but they ffird you the opportunity to fail, restudy the work and try again which is motivating. Tefl assignments defintaly proved the most challenging but they provided examples of what you will encounter in the real work of teaching therefore you learn a lot whilst doing them. Overall I was very satisfied with the course and would most certainly recommend it.

The course guided me through every step and made me eager to push on. I got a great sense of achievement on finishing the course and am keen for more..The step by step units helped build knowledge and confidence. By structuring the course in this way when the end of unit tests came along I felt fully informed and was able to complete the test quickly and accurately. The info provided with each assignment made it easy to know what was expected which cut out any uncertainty pre submission. I really enjoyed the experience.

I was thinking about doing something different and started surfing the net. Came across many sites but TEFL Academy gave much and needed information. Apart from the content of the course, it creates awareness of the world ahead and what to watch out for.
I don't think I would be found wanting with all the needed information and a bonus top up course which strengthens me further.
The course actually answers the answered and there's no need to look further to any other.
I loved the course and feel great I took it up.

Of course I don't have any comparison to other TEFL programs as I've only done this one, but for me the content was very engaging and written in a way that wasn't tedious to read. The activities helped to reinforce the content in a simple way. The support team was very responsive. The only negative for me would be that the assignment instructions were a bit hard to muddle through. The assignments themselves made sense and weren't too difficult, but just the instructions and all the different documents seemed a bit more complicated than necessary. Another thing I like is that they seem to give a lot of support even after you complete your certificate in finding a job.

I did the level 5 course with The TEFL Academy and it was money well spent. It was extremely convenient to do this course at my own time and pace. The course can be completed in less than 6 months and everything is online. The staff of The TEFL Academy gives complete feedback about your assignments and the marking of the assignments gets done within a few days. The course material is interesting and provides multiple resources for lesson plans and activities. I can recommend this course to anyone who would like to explore their options in teaching English online or overseas.

The Level 5 TEFL Course gave a great overview and starting point of what is needed for English language teaching. I appreciated that there was a significant portion dedicated to learning grammar as native speakers often know how to use grammar correctly yet would not be able to explain the rules to a non-native speaker.
I also liked that throughout the course a wide variety of exercise examples, learning games and teaching techniques were provided. This is something I would be able to revisit if I'm having difficulty engaging a particular class or student to have a different approach.
Thank you!

I undertook the Level 5 TEFL course in hopes to teach abroad. I was not prepared for how lengthy the chapters would be and had started off committed to note taking which prolonged the length of time I took to finish the course. However, after Assignment A I realised you don't have to study too intently to pass the assignments. You can always go back to each chapter at any time. I enjoyed the learning activities although there could have been a bit more for checking understanding. The website is designed fairly well and easy to navigate. I found it a bit annoying however to constantly get logged out for being inactive for a little while. Besides being tedious at times the course content is overall very informative. I learned quite a lot of things I had not known about the English language beforehand. It also gives helpful guides and tips to teaching. Any queries I had through the course were addressed usually within a day or two. As far as what happens after completion of the course, I can't say much as I'm still applying for jobs (completed a month ago) nor can I comment on how ready the course gets you to teach. I was unfortunately under the impression that they would assist you more actively in finding placements but the help given after completion is simply links to job sites. If you're not from the developed (first world) English speaking nations, such as myself, be warned there are countries that will not want you. Something I had inquired about prior to undertaking the course but was assured not to worry about. This is obviously quite disappointing as it should be about a teacher's qualifications and capability.

I have recently completed the online level 5 TEFL course with the TEFL academy. I found the course really engaging and well-structured. It begins with learning the different aspects of English language and provides lots of ideas and further reading in relation to activities and ideas that can be applied in the classroom. I particularly enjoyed the end of unit assessments at the end of each unit as I felt that these gave me something to work towards and kept me focused throughout the units. The coursework activities are interesting and engaging and the speed feedback and grades are received is absolutely incredible. The amount of feedback provided and support from the examiners is also amazing. I would recommend this course to anybody who is considering teaching English as a second language whether that be in the UK with EAL students or abroad.

I started this year unsure of what I wanted to do during my gap year. I have always enjoyed teaching so when I heard about this course I jumped right in. I really enjoyed the course and loved how easy and accessible it was to do. The assignments were challenging in a good way (they get you to think out of the box) and the end of unit tests are great for checking which work needs revision. I enjoyed the course so much that I am actually upset that it's over. Although, I am excited for what's to come.

The TEFL Academy is a great institution for acquiring a TEFL certificate to teach English online and even abroad. The institution is widely known and accredited. It offers great support and its content is informative. I would recommend the TEFL Academy to complete the level 5 TEFL course because the academy offers great feedback and guidance throughout the journey even after you have completed the course. The admin and technical staff are really patient when it comes to the learners and they are really helpful until you get your needs met, which is a great characteristic especially in this industry.
