Right Choice

There are so many online courses to choose from that picking a course can feel overwhelming, but I definitely made the right choice with TEFLPros. The staff at TEFLPros were really supportive throughout the whole process, from the first time that I logged-in to helping me find a job. I had previously tried some other big name courses and I felt really let down by their quality, so I never got through them and then my time expired. TEFLPros, on the other hand, was engaging and the quality was so much better than the other programs that I had tried. The TEFLPros program also is mobile and tablet optimized, so I could work on it easily from whatever I was connected to. Thanks to TEFLPros for helping me FINALLY get certified! Can’t wait to start in the classroom.

Review

This course was very helpful. I was able to learn the methodologies and gain insightful experience references to be prepared to make a career teaching abroad. I fully recommend this to anyone who is fully committed yet busy. Thanks for the assistance! The support from the instructors really helped with pinpointing direct and expected issues while teaching abroad and how to adapt and solve these problems. I was also able to commit at my own discretion and complete the course at the pace I could blend with my work schedule. A great overall course for those who are willing to work towards an exceptional teaching experience. The cost and promotion offers provided were top notch and any problems or concerns with pricing and payment were alleviated quickly and sufficiently.

So happy I found this!

So I have been looking at online TEFL courses for a few years now and couldn’t find one I wanted to commit to. I was worried after being out of school so long that I would struggle and not be able to finish. I have to say that Joc and Whit have done an absolutely amazing job with this TEFL course. It was very relatable and they explained everything so well, with many real life experiences. Anytime I had an issue or was stuck I just emailed them and they were very prompt to get back to me and super helpful right away. I also really enjoyed the classroom observations that they had for us to watch. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone thinking about taking their TEFL. You won’t be disappointed! I’m so glad I found their course!

Great Alternative to Classroom Learning

This is a great way to study and obtain your TEFL certificate if you are on the move or can't commit to a classroom-based course. It was easy to create an account and start learning. I was able to fit in the lessons, portfolio work and online tests around my schedule, doing it all at my own pace, completing an entire module one day and then taking a break for several days at a time when I was busy. The course material is clear with written and video instruction, including many classroom teaching videos so you can see the learning in practice. The site is clear and easy to use with progress tracked. TEFLPros were quick to answer any emails so I felt supported when I needed it. Once uploaded, I received clear feedback on my portfolio assignments. All-in-all, a great way to learn and improve my skills. IThanks, TEFLPros!

Teaching English

I was at first a little skeptical but after starting the course, I came to realize several things. First of all how little I actually knew about English grammar and secondly how difficult it is for a teacher to set up a course of learning for non English speaking people. I gained an enormous amount of respect for teachers in general. The course itself wasn't too difficult with one exception. One of the modules was a definite tester for me. And the final exam was also a bit tough but it was that difficulty and toughness that made me so proud of myself that I was able to complete the online course with a passing grade. And their placement service is top notch with help getting work permits and so on.
This is not a way to become rich or even to earn a living wage here in Thailand but if you want to learn how to teach English to non English speakers, I believe that this course is the ticket and shouldn't be avoided because it is a little difficult and time consuming.

What would you improve about this program?
I'm not sure. The online assistance was a great help and I personally needed some of that encouragement when it came to one of the modules.
Perhaps one area that could be improved is a better explanation in the first chapter of everything that should be printed out and downloaded and exactly why. What is going to be needed to be saved for reference material and what is going to be needed for classroom guidelines.

Working with Refugees

For me, the TEFLPros course was amazing! My husband and I love to work with refugees , so I was able to use my knowledge in teaching English to many refugees in Greece, from many various countries. This course is so helpful in not only learning how to write lesson plans and to be able to carry out teaching skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing lessons, but also taught how to make the class work fun! Whitney and Joss were so supportive, throughout the course. I contacted them several times. My favorite part of the course was the videos of actual classes. How fun to see the students and teachers carrying out the lesson plans. I just have praise for this course! I feel much more confident in working with refugees now.
THANK YOU Whitney and Joss!

Best Choice...Even if you're not tech savvy

I was a little hesitant to buy an online course because I'm not the most tech savvy person. However, I can honestly say that the TEFLPros course was incredibly easy to navigate. The course is set up in an intuitive way that made it simple for me to work through in my free time. The instructors really understand the TEFL industry and I like that they have both lived abroad for a long time and can give real world advice. That type of honest "this is what it's really like" talk is the most reassuring to me. I also haven't traveled much and so I wanted a program that would prepare me for interviews in a foreign country. The TEFLPros Interview and Resume guide was invaluable. I feel confident and ready to take on this new adventure!

Now I Can Follow My Dream!

TEFLPros was absolutely the right choice. I have thought about going abroad to teach for a long time and from my very first interaction with them, they have been so supportive. They are not like other online courses. The quality is EXCELLENT. Their attention to detail and personal touch made me feel like I had real teachers. Their course has a ton of video unlike other online courses and they work with you to create a portfolio of lesson plans to show on your interviews. They gave me lots of great job tips and always answered all of my questions. Very impressed and very happy with this course. Thanks TEFLPros!

Great value

There are so many TEFL courses to choose from and I’m glad I trusted my instinct and joined TEFLPros. This course was comprehensive, interesting and supportive throughout the whole process. I started a cheap-o Groupon course a while back and it was a total waste of time and money. Online courses have a bad reputation but these guys definitely smash that stereotype. After trying it for free (which other courses didn’t offer by the way) I could see the the course quality and attention to detail were spot on. Clearly they saw how bad other online courses are and built something of very high quality. Now, I’m working in Thailand and I love it. Thanks to TEFLPros for being such honest and supportive educators!
