Education

I want to share my opinion about this platform and about the Tesol exam. I was doing my learning during one month, that was great idea, that I could learn whenever I want to. Also the platform was comfortable to deal with. There were no concerns during the learning, everything worked good. I really appreciate that in our time we have the opportunity to learn like this. I want to say thank you for those people who create it and gave us a chance to get all necessary knowledge online. And now I will be able to teach other people.

excellent

The course is easy and straight forward it gives one time to understand each and every lesson because you can take it at your own convenient time. I feel anyone able to speak English can manage to handle the lessons without any difficulties and without needing any help from the online tutors. The quiz at the end of each lesson is very helpful and easy provided you take some notes down as you progress with the lessons, i personally dedicated one hour thirty minutes, five days a week and this really helped me complete the course with ease.

120-HR TEFL/TESOL Certificate

I completed this course in March 2024. I was in need of an accredited TEFL certificate as my previous one (from a different company) had difficulties when I needed to authenticate it for overseas use. Several of my current coworkers have used this website to obtain their certificate, and they recommended the course to me.

This course provided useful information for teaching English both overseas and online. The website was easy to access and use. I will definitely recommend this to my other teacher friends who are in need of an accredited certificate.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Review the summary page at the end of each module, it will greatly help you during the quizzes.
Pros
  • Website is easy to navigate
  • Support responded quickly to my question
  • Can be completed on my own time
Cons
  • I would like more videos and examples of activities that I can use in the classroom

How I Got More Experienced In Teaching

I really enjoyed the course. It was fun learning something completely new and becoming more experienced. There were topics I knew well before the course though. So I had a perfect opportunity to brush up on those. The information is well-structured and presented. Taking quizzes after each module helps see if you did well. Real video lessons with professional teachers are good ways of gaining practice and experience. And each time you struggle to understand something, a helper is on hand. I recommend taking the course and improving your knowledge.

What would you improve about this program?
Some subjects are covered too carefully, e.g. parts of speech, and seating in the classroom; some are lacking in more detailed examples, e.g. teaching listening and writing to beginners, and introducing new words.
Pros
  • certificate
  • video lessons
  • helpful educational websites
Cons
  • not enough real examples
  • some information is excessive
  • more videos are wanted

Genesis

This is the start of my dream to be an effective, efficient, and excellent language teacher abroad. I have long planned to earn an English Language Teaching certificate but have been doubtful where to earn it. I was afraid to be scammed. Thankfully, I found World TESOL Academy. I read its reviews and was able to form my trust in this academic center. The course training did not just teach me the theories but injected real-life situations that are gender and culturally-sensitive. Thank you for this platform, I can dream big because of this!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Just recently, I defended my thesis proposal. I was able to pass it but with major revisions. It was nerve-racking since I presented in front of the doctors of Linguistics. However, I was able to push through because I studied hard. Moreover, I was able to reinforce my ideas through this course training.
Pros
  • The platform is very user-friendly.
  • The contact persons behind this program platform are very responsive.
  • The course itself is very comprehensive and teacher-empowering.
Cons
  • Since it is an online platform, I study sometimes due to poor connectivity.
  • Majority of my learning here made me realize how vast Philippines has to cope with other countries.
  • I hope the minimum accessibility of 4 months would be extended. This would help teachers like me review from time to time.

I can do it, then you can too, why not? :)

Hello everyone,

My full name is Tran Thi Hoang Oanh. You can call me Oanh. I am Vietnamese and an ESL teacher in Vietnam. I feel so excited because I just received my 120-hour TESOL/TEFL Certificate on January 27, 2024! This course lasts 4 months, however, I completed this course in 1 month! Today, I would love to review this certification. This certificate is issued by World TESOL Academy, Accredited Teaching Certification of the United Kingdom.

Firstly, I want to tell you how useful this course is. Seriously, I learned a lot from this course, especially, I loved all the teaching tips they provided. They are short, concise and very easy to understand, follow and practice. For example, how to teach effectively, it really depends on the class size, whether it is small or large. How to solve some problems when incidents occur in the classroom. More importantly, how to inspire students to learn if they are not good at or do not like learning English.

Secondly, talk about the quiz and the final exam. After each lesson we need to do a quiz. You can do it many times until you get 80% score. For the final exam, it is not easy with 65 questions, you can only retake it 4 times and you also need to get 80% score so that, I highly recommend you study each lesson more carefully and take notes on some important points, in the same way I did! You can then pass the test as well as review for these useful teaching notes in the future.

Last but not least, I want to tell you how you can take this course, how much does it cost and how to pay. A piece of cake !! Just go to Google or Facebook and type in World TESOL Academy and you can give them your information. In terms of price, it is very reasonable, only costs 34 USD, lifetime learning will cost more than 15 USD. You can pay with a Visa Credit Card, like I did!

In short, if I can do it, you can do it too, why not? :). Thank you so much for your reading ! Keep up your good work! I really hope my review was helpful to you! Good luck to me and you too! :)

Great course

I liked that the course was well-structured, the material was easy to grasp, the presentation of the material was of high quality, and there were no overly difficult questions. Everything was clear and relevant. I also liked that the course includes an online learning section. I discovered many new techniques and 'life hacks' for myself, which can be applied immediately in practice. The videos of real lessons are very useful, everything is presented in a clear and understandable manner. I also particularly liked that the course discusses how to motivate students of all kinds.

My First Language Test

Hi, I'm Christine Joy Jaco Forro and I am currently teaching in Indonesia as an English Teacher. I took TESOL as it was required of me by the school.

I'm thrilled with the whole experience as this is the first language test I have taken. I admit that I thought it would be hard but while doing the lesson topic per topic, I have lots of realization and learning.

One that made me rethink my current teaching style is that 'students are my clients' so I have to maintain my cool and think of the most creative way to apply classroom discipline effectively without ruining all the more the mood.

Plus, I got to see videos from the lesson that encouraged me to prepare better so it will be an enjoyable time with my kids if not always, most of the time.

With all other things that reinforced my knowledge and skills, I am so thankful for World TESOL Academy.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
It might be a long list of lessons but hang in there and finish the race. You'll thank yourself when you finish.
Pros
  • Flexibility of time
  • Could redo the practice tests up to four times
  • Discounted price
Cons
  • Since the lessons are quiet long, it took me two months to finish

Good course

The overall course is/was pretty good in my opinion, I really appreciated aspects like which country overseas (i'm European) need english teachers, so I was able to imagine myself immerse in different countries and contexts. I think that could be more useful for the upcoming participants having more video based on teaching's experience.
Nowadays, we live in a society that is leading to a transformation, so i think that developing a way to travel, know culture and people from all over the world will be a win for everyone.

Clear and concise course content, challenging and engaging

I found the course to be wide ranging in its content. It covered all major topics, subjects and aspects I hoped for when I signed up. The course was a perfect introduction for someone like myself who is embarking on a new career teaching English. It helped refresh my memory on previously learned (and forgotten) aspects of the English language and taught me plenty of new information too. The couse material is laid out in a clear and easy to understand format with little to no unnecessary information or explanations.

Thoroughly recommended.
