TESOL Certification Class

I was teaching English without a certification and deeply unsure what the hell I was doing half the time and wondering if I did it wrong. Then I found this class.

Overall it was a straightforward online class. The details gave a good guideline I can build upon with my future students and I'm slightly more confident now and I'm not a confident person.

I'm not too sure where life will take me with this certification but at least I'm not going in blind. Considering doing other lessons if I think teaching is my calling

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
A more consistent class schedule and review structure. I had to spent hours reviewing afterwards.
Pros
  • Straight forward
  • Able to ask others if confused
  • Go at my own pace
Cons
  • Boring/Unmotivated
  • I'm unable to open the lessons out of order, for example I want to look at online portion, I can't until I finished the previous classes
  • Waiting for a response

TEFL/TESOL Course Review

It's been a very fun experience to take this course! I've loved the English subject as a kid and now that I've finished my Masters, I want to teach children. This helped me refresh my memory and also gain valuable knowledge about teaching English effectively, especially to my target: young learners. I think that this course is something that helped me realize that English teaching is a serious thing to do so if you aren't ready at all mentally and you do not have a genuine love for teaching then it will be difficult for you. Thank you so much for this course!

What would you improve about this program?
I would add more examples!
Pros
  • easy to follow
  • great schedule and organization of lessons
  • fun way to learn
Cons
  • better with more examples

Great course of instruction

This TEFL course was incredibly worthwhile! This course reviewed so much information that was tucked away in the corner of my brain! To see it in use again will be of great help to students. The blend of theory and practical exercises, especially the micro-teaching sessions, prepared me well for the classroom. The blend of grammar theory and classroom management skills is exactly what I needed. I feel truly confident starting my first teaching job. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about teaching online or abroad.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Turtle soup.
Pros
  • Refreshed my knowledge of English language.
  • Simple methods to adopt then use.
  • Resources provided.
Cons
  • There seemed to be an overabundant amount of time spent on tenses.
  • Some of the questions and answers don't agree.

VERY USEFUL

THIS IS A VERY FLEXIBLE KIND OF COURSE. IT MADE ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE, WHEN IT COMES TO PICKING THE BETTER WAY AND TIME TO STUDY. THE MILESTONE QUIZ IS VERY HELPFUL. SOME OF THE MODULES ARE A LITTLE BIT LONG IN MY VIEW, OTHER THAN THAT THEY ARE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. THE NAVIGATION IS VERY EASY AND IT FLOWS AUTOMATICALLY. THE SUPPORT TEAM IS VERY HELPFUL AND GENTLE. THE EXAM ITSELF WORKS AS A CONSOLIDATION OF WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED THROUGH THE TOPICS. I HAVE A REALLY NICE TIME TAKING THIS COURSE.

What was your funniest moment?
DEALING WITH THE ACRONYMS, THERE ARE SO MANY THAT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO USE RHYMES TO LEARN THEM BY HEART
Pros
  • FLEXIBLE
  • EASY NAVIGATION
  • SELF ASSESSMENT
Cons
  • SOME LONG MODULES
  • FEW QUIZZES
  • SOME COMMON TECHNIQUES

Excellent choice to complete TEFL training

This course is very well structured, sharing relevant and up-to-date information related to teaching English as a foreign language. The content is fresh and easy to digest, and the quizzes and videos provide excellent opportunities to practice and visualize what you learn. I found all the explanations, examples and activities pertinent and well written, with quality information divided into segments that allow you to understand everything quite easily. I sincerely recommend World TESOL Academy and its courses!

TESOL Certificate

I think this has been one of the most important certifications for me, as it will allow me to have more access to jobs in the future and also fill in many gaps I had in specific topics. I think it offers a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know to teach in a school or online, and the resources they provide are adequate and useful. I have already used some of them in my classes.

If you focus on doing it with time and with a mindset of learning, it is a great experience, almost everything try to be very explicative, and not to complicated.

What would you improve about this program?
I think it would be great if the lessons were not only written, but also in video or audio format, since it teaches about learning styles, but the site is only useful for reading and understanding on your own with some examples.
Pros
  • Good for your CV
  • Give you tips to teach
  • Resources and Material
Cons
  • Just Reading
  • Not enough examples

Incredible introduction to TESOL/TEFL

This was my first time doing an academic certificate online and I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience! The lessons were short and engaging and everything was explained so concisely that it was easy to follow. I loved how we were able to watch teachers in the classroom doing activities and seeing how they managed the classes in real time. It was comforting to observe how they handled it and I learnt so much. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I am looking forward to putting my skills into practice soon!

Invaluable Training from World TESOL Academy

I recently completed the 120-hour TESOL course at the World TESOL Academy, and I couldn't be more elated with my decision. From the moment I enrolled, I felt supported and excited about the journey ahead.

The course was incredibly well-structured, making it easy for me to follow along and absorb the material. I particularly appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to study at my own pace while balancing my other commitments. This was a game-changer for me, as I could fit my studies into my schedule without feeling overwhelmed.

One of the highlights of the course was the practical teaching skills I gained. The lessons were not only informative but also engaging, and I found myself applying what I learned in real-life teaching scenarios almost immediately. The resources provided were top-notch, and I felt well-prepared to step into the classroom.

As an added bonus, there was always an online tutor available to chat and answer any questions along the way, which made the learning experience even more enriching. I felt like I was part of a community of aspiring teachers, all working towards the same goal.

Overall, I highly recommend the World TESOL Academy to anyone looking to start their teaching career. The knowledge and skills I gained have been invaluable, and I am excited to see where this journey takes me next!

What would you improve about this program?
I would perhaps extend the sections on verbs in great detail. The different types of verbs and their tenses can be very intense even for the native speaker. I even learned a few things that I do not recall learning in school.
In addition, the portion on sentence structures and tenses, (MOD 3) was intense and could benefit from a few videos demonstrating the variations. That section in general was longer than most and was detailed, I just feel like more examples that appeals to visual and auditory learners.
Pros
  • well structure
  • easy platform
  • self - paced
Cons
  • more time on verbs needed
  • more videos should be implemented
  • a free printed certification should be offered

FLYING COLORS!

I recently completed a course with World TESOL Academy and passed with flying colors. The course was definitely challenging, but still manageable because I always had the reassurance of an online tutor to reach out to whenever I felt stuck. That support kept me motivated and confident throughout.

I found the experience excellent and would gladly recommend the course to anyone considering it(as I've done already!).

Thank you, World TESOL Academy, for such a great opportunity. This course is going to change my life!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Buy more snacks!
Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Tutor Support
  • Rewarding
Cons
  • Response at peak times

An on-point course experience! :D

As an experienced teacher looking to refresh my knowledge and explore opportunities beyond the traditional classroom system, I recently completed a TEFL/TESOL certification course, and I'm genuinely glad I made this investment in my professional development.

It took me two months to complete the course, working at my own pace through the self-paced online modules. I felt really engaged with the lessons since it's always good to revise certain concepts and theories that tend to fade over time. While I initially wondered if a certification course would offer much value to someone already experienced in teaching, I was pleasantly surprised by how relevant and refreshing the content felt.

What would you improve about this program?
Nothing, I think it is on point.
Pros
  • self-paced
  • engaging material
  • great videos
Cons
  • not enough extra material
