This was just perfect. Exactly what I was searching for.

I recently completed the TESOL 120 Hour Course, and I found it to be well-structured and informative. The material covered essential aspects of ESL teaching, including grammar, classroom management, and lesson planning, all of which were explained with practical examples. The quizzes and final tests were challenging and helped reinforce my learning, especially regarding teaching methodologies and strategies for different student levels. Overall, it was an insightful experience, equipping me with valuable skills and confidence for teaching English as a second language. Thank you World TESOL Academy Team!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment for me was learning conditionals. Understanding the subtle differences and correctly applying each type was challenging. I overcame this by breaking down each conditional into simple examples and practicing consistently, which helped clarify the logic and usage.
Pros
  • The program offers detailed insights into lesson structuring, which greatly improves teaching effectiveness.
  • It covers a wide range of techniques, from using props to applying different seating arrangements, making classes more engaging.
  • The program allows students to progress at their own speed, making it accessible for busy schedules.
Cons
  • Some areas, like conditionals and tenses, were presented in a way that could be challenging without prior teaching experience.
  • Although quizzes were helpful, more interactive sessions would have enriched the learning experience.
  • The program is heavily tailored to ESL contexts, so aspects of general teaching methodology may feel limited.

Fully Immersive

The modules covered every aspect of classroom teaching and I was pleasantly surprised by module 7 on teaching online equipment and techniques. I would recommend 100%.
The teaching videos were best and I liked that there's a YouTube page to go watch them over and over again; which I subscribed to.
The pictures and videos were very helpful.
The entire course was in plain and simple English which was very easy to understand so even young people/teenagers will be able to follow it.
I rate the course 10/10.

My personal experience with World TESOL Academy

In my review of the World TESOL Language Academy, I found the services to be exceptionally structured and highly effective for language development. The course content was clear and included precise, step-by-step instructions that enhanced my understanding of grammar and other core language skills. Each lesson built on previous knowledge and was thoughtfully designed to reinforce learning. Most notably, the quizzes following each lesson were invaluable that provided an interactive way to assess comprehension and retention. Overall, the academy provided an enriching and impactful learning experience.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments during my World TESOL Academy course was while attempting a quiz on lesson planning. I got stuck and messaged the online instructor for help, but as soon as she asked me a question, I immediately figured out the answer on my own! Then, in the next quiz, I got stuck again, reached out to her, and once again, just as she responded, I solved it right away. I couldn’t help but wonder what she must have thought of my timing! :)
Pros
  • Lessons were presented with clarity and detailed instructions, making it easy to follow and absorb the material.
  • The course strengthened all core language skills, especially grammar that provids a well-rounded learning experience.
  • Each lesson included engaging quizzes that reinforced learning and allowed for immediate assessment of understanding.
Cons
  • The absence of live face-to-face sessions may have reduced opportunities for spontaneous interaction and feedback
  • There should be some lessons/written notes for those who qualify the final assessment test

I have TESOL degree

I am very grateful for having studied at the TESOL Academy. Although I graduated from university with a degree in English teaching after four years, I realized that I hadn't learned enough. After working for two years following my graduation, I enrolled in this course. I have improved my teaching methods for young children and acquired many new techniques. Since I joined this course with both my degree and some work experience, I was able to recognize both my mistakes and successes and learn how to improve further. I have also understood that teaching internationally and instructing those who are learning a foreign language as their second language requires me to continuously learn and improve my own skills. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to study in this program.

What would you improve about this program?
I really liked the method of teaching new vocabulary. Teaching about the body and then having students draw a monster based on that was very enjoyable. One suggestion for improving this program would be to make the explanation lessons more detailed and to include more examples, as I think it would make the lessons even better.

My Experience with TESOL Academy

The TESOL Academy course was highly enriching and practical, covering key areas like lesson planning and communication. The trainers were knowledgeable and supportive, and I appreciated the focus on interactive, student-centered methods. Great preparation for teaching English to non-native speakers—highly recommended!
The trainers were knowledgeable, supportive, and always ready to answer questions, which made the experience even more engaging. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on interactive and student-centered teaching methods, which are crucial for today's diverse classrooms. Overall, TESOL Academy exceeded my expectations and truly prepared me for the challenges and rewards of teaching English to speakers of other languages.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
It was a bit difficult to manage this course with my ongoing job. But I made it! If I get a chance to do this all over again, I would certainly plan out my time better.
Pros
  • Practical assignments made learning directly relevant to teaching. ( Quiz after every module)
  • Expert Support (Videos by Teacher Jay)
  • Emphasis on student-centered methods suited for diverse classrooms.
Cons
  • A few sections felt rushed, making it challenging to fully grasp the concepts.
  • Additional materials and resources for further study could have enhanced the learning experience
  • Some modules required more time than initially anticipated for thorough understanding.

Thanks TESOL Academy

My experience with TESOL was great. I was very excited to complete the lessons. Once you complete one lesson, you are very excited to see the next lesson, regardless of the final exam, which was as if I had passed a fateful exam at a university, but it was very easy because I had completed all the lessons On top of all this, there are practical videos that help give ideas on how to teach.and adapt with students whether young or old. I learned many skills and my English improved greatly, thanks to TESOL Academy.

What would you improve about this program?
The thing I would like to change in this program is that at the end of each lesson I put a general summary of the lesson in the form of a video. But apart from this everything was perfect.
Pros
  • I learned English well
  • I learned skills to teach students.
  • Ease of use and no problems in the program
Cons
  • Too much writing
  • Not enough videos to explain
  • No other negative

The success of Studying

I was really engaged in studying the methodology here. Something I knew, something I had to remember and something I didn't know at all. Here you can find the grammatical and lexical parts, some methodology and a lot of video examples how to make interesting lessons with children. Also there are a lot of useful links with important information about how to make the lesson captivating and alive. After passing the exam you can find the new opportunities to fine the dream job or do what you like worldwide. Very useful for all people who are in teaching!

No complaints

It is as simple as the title states. Very easy to navigate the course. In depth and relevant information. I had one query and was given a helpful reply very quickly. The certificate really helps me in my future life goals. Fantastic value as well for the qualification. I only marked one score down from the maximum five and that was for engagement. Not because the content wasn't helpful or required, but simply because of my own personal learning. Learning and recapping and making sure the knowledge stuck with me in particular modules and lessons was very briefly a bit of a grind. Overall, a very satisfied customer.

What would you improve about this program?
My only suggestion would be to think about moving away from multiple choice questions constantly and perhaps involve some actual written work. Having to actually word an answer yourself would help knowledge stick through the actual practice.
Pros
  • Relevant qualification
  • Relatively inexpensive
Cons
  • Multiple choice almost gives too much of a clue to the answer

Super smooth

In comparing this course to my experience as an English instructor (earlier in my career, and briefly), I can say that this course has everything needed to know to effectively teach TEFL English, in a way which is conducive to learning for foreign learners. From start to finish, this course is easy to follow, easy to digest, and covers all the bases – from theory to practical and useful teaching skills. I decided to do the course because I'm exploring going to live in a non-English-speaking place again, and I enjoyed my earlier experience teaching English.
No regrets.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising thing in the course was seeing Moby teaching English to young learners. I did not know that he worked outside of electronic music.
Pros
  • Easy to understand the course content and information
  • Self-paced
  • The course content is delivered in an encouraging spirit
Cons
  • If anything, I'd propose a different website design, one which is less bland...
