Program Reviews

I did this course because of all the great reviews I read and i had the same experience. Online courses aren't really my thing but this one was really good. I needed the certification to go teach in Vietnam later this year. I definitely feel prepared to be in the classroom. Before taking the course I had no idea how to lesson plan, I mean I know how to speak English fluently but I didn't realize how different it is to plan a lesson. For this course, I had to plan several lessons and they were all reviewed one-on-one so I knew that I was getting real support, that meant a lot to me since I am totally new to all of this. I have a friend in Vietnam so I didn't really need job assistance from TEFLPros but I'm sure that if I did, it would have been great considering how hands-on they were for other parts of my training. I can't wait to start teaching!

TEFL certification was a requirement for most of the jobs I was looking at so I did some research and found TEFLPros. I was really happy with everything that was presented on the course. I was a total beginner, basically all I can do is speak English but I had no idea how to teach it. This course really helped me understand how to plan proper lessons. I learn by seeing/doing and the thing I really liked was the video component. I'm not sure how many hours of observed classes there were, but it was a LOT, probably more than what I would have observed in person. I also had to write lesson plans in order to pass the course. I'd recommend the course for anyone who wants to feel prepared to teach. Now I know how to plan lessons, handle the major grammar points and do some classroom management. Highly recommended.

Today is my birthday and my favorite present was my TEFLPros course passing email! Haha. But seriously, I enjoyed every minute of this course. It challenged me but I also felt like I was being fully supported by the course itself but also the TEFLPros staff. Because it's not a big mega-TEFL operation like other courses, they are able to support you individually and I really liked that. But if you're someone who likes to go it alone, you can totally do that too. What I really liked about the course was that it felt like I had real teachers. I kinda live in the middle of nowhere so going to an actual classroom was basically impossible for me. But I wanted something that felt personal and was good quality. These ladies nailed it. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like I really know the instructors on the course even though it was all online. That's pretty cool! I also got personal congrats emails from the co-owners which really meant a lot to me after learning from them for the whole course. So happy I chose this course and so excited to start teaching abroad :) :) :)

Such an awesome experience! Didn’t expect to get much out of this but boy was I wrong. It was so informative and inspirational. I have already recommended this course to other friends and colleagues so they have the opportunity for the experience I did. The instructors were helpful and answered all of my questions from a simple question to the more intricate ones. While the course was challenging it was challenging in the best way and pushed me each and every day. The best thing about it was how inspired I felt to be a good teacher after taking it. I felt really prepared to help other people learn English and that was important to me. Every module had interesting new content that kept me engaged. I’m teaching in Bali and they helped me get my resume all ready to go so I could get my dream job.

Teaching abroad has always been something I have wanted to do. Before I move, I am going to teach online and volunteer at a local community center. I wanted to do a course that would prepare me to teach well both online and in-person. TEFLPros was it. The program they offer is comprehensive and no matter what you plan to teach, they help you learn how to adapt it. The course requires you to do some lesson planning and self reflection which has already been helpful in my volunteer teaching. My favorite part of the course was how clearly they walk you through each step of the process. I was worried that an online course would lose the human element, but with TEFLPros, I felt like I knew my instructors by the end. If you decide to take this course, you will feel prepared and enthused about teaching English!

I was really happy with all the modules of the TEFLPros course. The organization and flow of the course is quite impressive. Each module flows clearly to the next. The activities all relate to the content that was taught in the lesson. I learned lots of useful tips. I also want to point out how incredibly helpful they were when it came to helping me find a job. They were responsive and provided me with many resources that were relevant to me (not a generic email). I never felt like “just another student”, the whole thing was very personalized. The course includes and interview and resume guide but I also got one-on-one help from someone on their academic team to find specific jobs and edit my resume. This is a course that actually prepares you to teach and supports you all along the way.

I do a ton of research before I sign up for anything and I looked at probably 20 TEFL courses. I ultimately chose TEFLPros because 1. they have the best reviews of all courses 2. They seem completely focused on providing service and a good course 3. They are really direct and honest, I never felt like a number.

TEFLPros was the only company who answered my questions and didn’t hunt me and try to sell me with “promotions” and “one day only discount” and “guaranteed job”. The are really transparent especially about job stuff. I didn’t realize that other courses basically sell you to recruiters and take a commission. I don’t like the idea of that at all and TEFLPros doesn’t do that. If you ask for it they will consult you and then give you a ton of resources to get a job. I got an awesome one in Vietnam thanks to their help. TEFLPros course quality was excellent too. I was totally prepared to teach because now I understand how to plan a lesson. Great course, great job assistance, great choice.

My experience with TEFLPros was excellent from start to finish. I always do a lot of research before I sign up for stuff and I literally couldn’t find anything negative about these guys so I signed up. It’s clear why all the reviews are 10/10. The course was excellent. I thought I knew how to teach English because I speak it. Wow, I was wrong. This course shows you how to plan a lesson from start to finish. How to use materials to make your lessons interactive. How to manage students. How to elicit questions and answers. Just so much useful content. And the best part is that they don’t cut off my access to the material after I graduated. I can still access it if I want. I can’t understand how anyone would compare TEFLPros online course to one of those Groupon things and say “all online courses are the same.” It’s so so so not true. I feel totally prepared to teach a class. Oh! And they helped me find lots of great jobs in Vietnam. Great course, great content, great job help. Thanks TEFLPros.

As an experienced high school teacher, I wanted a TEFL program that would prepare me for the day-to-day responsibilities of teaching English abroad, not just a piece of paper to send to prospective employers. TEFLPros' course provided clear, practical instruction about lesson-planning for the English language classroom. I loved the videos in which the instructor models her thought process while planning a particular type of lesson. The recordings of real English classes then allowed me to see how lessons on paper would translate to an actual classroom while still enabling me to complete my certification online while traveling. I'm glad that I'm coming out of the course with a portfolio of lesson plans that I will be able to use and adapt right away in my future classroom. Thanks, TEFLPros!

I feel so prepared to teach after taking this course. I am going to start by volunteering at my local community center before going abroad. I can't wait to use the lesson plans from this course. On the course, you will watch lessons taught by real teachers and you can download their lesson plans to use in your own classes (there are 18 plans!). On top of that, you have to make your own lesson plans that one of the teacher-trainers checks with you so you'll actually have real practice and mentoring about how to plan lessons.

Another thing that made TEFLPros great is that it was easy to study from my phone or iPad. I don't always want to carry my computer around with me so it was nice to be able to access the course from other devices. I don't plan to teach online, but for anyone who does, the stuff you learn in this course could be easily adapted. This is the top rated course for good reason! Thanks team :)
