Great resource

The course is what you make of it, there are a lot of resources made available and motivated self study can have you well-prepared to teach. All the important fundamentals are covered and nicely summarized. This makes referencing very convenient.

I would also recommend being sure to read and use the supplemental material as it really provides a much deeper dive into each sub-section. If this is the only training you have done these sections will be invaluable.

Overall, it was a positive and educational experience.

What would you improve about this program?
I would add more testing or more module practice exercises
Pros
  • Covers a lot of breadth
  • Concisely sums up the fundamentals
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Less in depth coverage

120 hour course is exceptional value and very helpful for self and gaining employment

The 120-hour course is of exceptional value and very helpful for self and gaining employment. I found that I had not remembered some things from when I learnt English in primary school. Although I apply all aspects daily, I could not recall what those elements were called. This has been a great refresher for my own education in the English language, and I feel more confident about teaching now.

I would recommend this course to first-year university students, even those whose English is their first language. An enormous amount of content here would assist university students in writing academically and even more so for those who use English as a second or third language.

What was your funniest moment?
When I could have sworn I've never learnt something, only to find that I apply it all the time.
Pros
  • Easy to read and follow
  • Assessment is fair
  • Practical course
Cons
  • Huge amount of content

Thank you World Tesol Academy, for this opportunity. To anyone considering furthering their education, I highly recommend this ACADEMY - it's worth every effort!

The most surprising thing I experienced was realizing just how much I was capable of learning and achieving, even after being out of a classroom setting for so long. Going back to study felt intimidating at first, but as I progressed, I discovered a new level of confidence and determination within myself. It was also surprising how supportive my family were making the journey enjoyable and motivating. Earning my certificate become not just an achievement, but a reminder that its never too late to grow and challenge yourself.

Review of TESOL/TEFL Course

This TESOL/TEFL course provided a strong foundation in effective teaching methods. The inclusion of video demonstrations was particularly helpful, showcasing real-world classroom applications.

While the course covered a wide range of topics, I believe it could benefit from more specific guidance on teaching adult learners with low English proficiency, such as strategies for building foundational literacy skills and addressing learner confidence.

Overall, the course was informative and valuable.

I had the pleasure of completing the TESOL and TEFL online courses, and I must say that they were truly outstanding. The courses provided an in-depth understanding of the essential teaching methods and strategies, making it incredibly beneficial for both aspiring and current educators.

The content was well-organized, covering all the key points with clarity and precision. Important concepts related to lesson planning, classroom management, and language acquisition were explained thoroughly. I particularly appreciated how the courses balanced theory with practical insights, making it easy to apply the knowledge in real-world teaching situations.

Additionally, I found the material to be very engaging and thought-provoking, with a range of activities and examples that kept me motivated throughout the program. I also appreciated the flexibility of learning online, which allowed me to study at my own pace while still gaining valuable knowledge.

Overall, the TESOL and TEFL courses were both informative and enjoyable, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their teaching skills and knowledge in the field of English language teaching.

Excellent for Experienced Teachers from English-Speaking Countries

If you grew up speaking English, this course does a good job of making sure you know the fine points of grammar that you're likely to teach to students learning English as a foreign language while not bogging you down in assignments that would really just confirm what you already know. That being said, if your only experience with English is some college classes, you may need a longer course.

Experienced teachers will breeze through the sections on lesson planning, pacing, and classroom management, while still picking up a few pointers for teaching English internationally. If you've never taught before, I would not recommend using this course as your sole preparation. While you'll get some good tips, they'll fall far short of what a new teacher needs. I've seen some reviews criticize the teaching tips as obvious, but I think it's more that veteran teachers already know these things, which doesn't mean everyone does. I've known college professors to be blown away when K-12 teachers mention simple things like the importance of learning your students' names and calling them by name.

If you've got years of teaching experience, you're probably considering this course as a fast certification option, and you will finish fast, so just be happy about it.

What would you improve about this program?
It would be nice if the modules had pre-tests that let you skip it if you pass, and then provide longer content sections for those who do not pass.
Pros
  • Experienced teachers can finish quickly
  • Certification proves you're ready to teach English
Cons
  • If you've never taught, this alone won't prepare you

Worth Every Penny!

As a professional looking to upskill in teaching English, I can honestly say that this course was comprehensive in scope and detail. More importantly, though, the practical tips, demo lessons, and lesson structure made studying more fun and worth one's time. I carefully took copious notes on delivering lessons with the plethora of tips and tricks the course suggested. Because of this course, I am now looking at a career teaching ESL with more confidence and passion! Kudos to the team who developed the program!

What was your funniest moment?
I really enjoyed watching the videos of teachers interacting with the kids! I couldn't help but smile every time I saw myself doing the same gestures, speech, and expressions as the teachers in the demo when I practiced in front of the mirror.
Pros
  • easy to navigate
  • real world examples
  • lesson structure
Cons
  • could've had at least one facilitator-led discussion or a welcome orientation LIVE.

My course journey

I recently completed the English Tutor course, and I have to say, it exceeded all of my expectations. As someone who was looking to transition into tutoring, I wanted a course that was both comprehensive and flexible. This course delivered on both fronts and more.

First off, one of the standout features of this course is its user-friendly structure. Everything you need to succeed is provided in the modules, which are well-organized and easy to navigate. Whether you're reviewing grammar rules, learning how to plan lessons, or practicing different teaching techniques, each section is clearly laid out, and I never felt lost or overwhelmed. You can work through the lessons at your own pace, making it incredibly convenient for anyone with a busy schedule or other commitments.

Each module is packed with valuable content that caters to a wide range of learners. There are detailed explanations, video tutorials, and practical assignments that help reinforce your understanding of the material. I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and exercises that encouraged me to apply what I was learning immediately. The course also covers a variety of topics, from basic grammar and vocabulary to more advanced techniques for teaching English as a second language. It gave me the confidence to not only teach beginners but also more advanced students.

Another aspect that really stood out was the technical support. While the course was designed to be self-paced and user-friendly, there were a few times when I ran into a technical issue or needed clarification on some course content. On every occasion, the technical support team was quick to respond and extremely helpful. They always made sure that I understood the solution or were able to guide me through the problem until it was resolved. It’s comforting to know that help is always just a click away, especially when you're navigating new territory.

The instructors were also great. Although the course is largely self-directed, the video lessons provided are clear, engaging, and well-presented. The content felt very current, and the teaching strategies shared were practical and actionable. I felt like I was learning from experienced professionals who genuinely wanted to help me succeed in my career as an English tutor.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to take the next steps in my career. The course has equipped me with the knowledge and skills I need to start tutoring students with confidence. It’s one thing to know English, but teaching it effectively requires a specific set of skills, and this course has certainly given me that. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to land a tutoring position soon, and I’m confident that the skills I’ve acquired here will help me stand out in the job market.

In conclusion, if you're considering becoming an English tutor, I highly recommend this course. It offers great value for the price, is easy to follow, and provides solid technical support when needed. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, this course will prepare you to succeed in tutoring and, hopefully, land your next job!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just take your time, don't hurry on finishing it and have fun!
Pros
  • got a refresher about the things I already knew about the English language
  • learned new things and skills that I will need to do this new job
Cons
  • some lessons are a little too long and could be shortened

Excellent

It was such a great experience. The course was detailed and useful in a way that will guide and help any teacher especially those who are new to the job. I really enjoyed each and every lesson throughout these last few weeks. I liked the formats of the lessons and how they are explained and the quizzes at the end of each lesson weren't difficult too once you manage to understand them. I am beyond happy that I took the chance and subscribed to this course, I am sure that it will open more doors for me in the future.
