My Valued TESOL/TFEL Course Experience

My entire experience during this course was incredibly worthwhile. I got to refresh all my knowledge about the English language, from the simplest concepts that are easily forgotten or neglected to the most complex rules that should always be remembered and applied. The training is packed with comprehensive information that will truly prepare one to be well-equipped in teaching English to any type of learner, encompassing proven techniques, varied activities, and methods that cater to whatever scenario might be faced in a class. The sample video also gives a simulation feeling, empathizing the teacher-student interaction. I like how the sequence of topics is laid out, along with the end quiz in every module to assess understanding, and how the program explains educational jargon in the easiest way possible, making it accessible to newbies. Plus, the tutors are supportive and accommodating whenever there are unanswered questions, especially since this is a self-paced class. I'm also grateful and proud to have passed and achieved my TESOL/TFEL certification – it's another accomplished goal for me.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
When I enrolled in this course, I set a goal for myself to finish everything in just a week, so I could maximize my time and not let any opportunities pass. However, I failed to do so, and it took me almost a month and a half to complete it. Despite this, I'm glad that I scored perfectly on all my quizzes, although I only got 95% on the final test – something I could have done better on. If I were to repeat it, I'd aim for a perfect score next time. Nevertheless, I'm already satisfied and happy because I spent a meaningful month learning everything in this academy.
Pros
  • - Prepares a teacher for their future endeavor.
  • Make one gain qualification and essential wisdom for the profession
  • Empirical knowledge is acquired
Cons
  • Needs discipline
  • Self-paced
  • Boring when too long readings

Great experience!

The course covers most aspects about becoming an excellent ESL Teacher. It has all the ground work and can serve as a foundation to build upon through experience. Being an experienced teacher, I learn't new techniques and fun ways to implement them in my classes. The course is organized well and doesnt get boring. Four months is plenty of time to complete the course and the best part is that instructors can be contacted and help you get through. As one progresses along and gains hands on experience as a teacher, the limit lies beyond the skies when it comes to implementing and modifying ways to teach your class using the techniques learnt in the course. Happy Teaching!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Try and be consistent in doing the course in order to complete it and also, try and implement what you learn in real life scenarios; this helps.
Pros
  • Excellent and in-depth grammar material
  • Lots of activities and fun ways to teach are suggested in the course
  • Explanations are easy to understand with lots of examples
Cons
  • I feel the cost of the physical copy of the certificate is too high
  • Could be a lot of knowledge to take in if not paired with experience

The first and the best course that I pay for

I’ve never bought a course before, this first course was totally excellent, easy to use, easy to read and learn.
There are a lot of things that you might know, but in this course, you can perfect your teaching and learning skills and knowledge.

I learned a lot of things that I should know before to start giving English lesson, online or in a classroom, even though I am planing to have another course that this platform is offering, I’m not a English native speaker, but I know and I feel that I can give English lessons oversea, after this course.

A big thanks to World TESOL Academy for giving this great opportunity to increase your skills and get a certificate that works in a lot of countries to get a job doing what you love. If you are the type of person who likes sharing your knowledge, this course is for you

A useful study for my teaching

This course gives me a clear and overall outline of teaching. I also get lots of good ideas that can be applied in my teaching. It would be better if more real teaching cases could be shared, especially in online teaching. I believe that this certificate will greatly boost my future job hunting, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Later, I will try to upload more of my teaching practice here to exchange with your tutors. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. Thank you very much.

Great TEFL Course

World TESOL/TEFL Course was very informative, relevant and their system is user-friendly. The modules provided are of great help, they equip us with the needed information for the exam and I liked the quizzes at the end of each module as they assisted me in checking if I understood the content and I am ready to move on to the next content or module. More than anything, I am happy with the opportunities given to the students to test their understanding and knowledge about the modules. I will surely recommend WORLD TESOL/TEFL ACADEMY to my friends.

Amazing experience

I was so glad that I participated in this online course from TESOL. The website is properly outlined and easy to navigate. I can also do the course in my own free time. As a working mom, it’s very hard to balance my time. However, I find it easier to follow the lessons and it doesn’t require a timeline to finish.

This English course also help me to build my resume and English skills. Sometimes we forget some of the courses that we finished when we are studying. So having this course is really helpful and with the certification that they provide.

Thank you

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I think that my most nerve-racking moment was meeting some Manta Ray in Lembongan Indonesia 😊
Pros
  • Easy to navigate
  • Not time consuming
  • Can manage the time of each lesson

Had a great experience!

I recently completed a self-paced online 120-hour TEFL/TESOL course, and the experience was both rewarding and highly practical. As someone who prefers learning independently and managing my own schedule, the flexibility of this course was one of its greatest strengths. It allowed me to study whenever I had time, without the pressure of live classes or deadlines.

The course was well-organized and covered a wide range of essential topics. This included English grammar, lesson planning, classroom management, teaching the four language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), teaching online and understanding different learner needs. Each module was presented clearly, with explanations that were easy to follow. There were also plenty of examples and practical tasks that helped reinforce the content.

One of the aspects I appreciated most was the structure of the learning materials. The content was broken down into manageable sections with quizzes at the end of each module. This not only helped me track my progress but also allowed me to review areas where I needed more practice. Although the course was self-paced, it didn’t feel like I was learning alone. Tutor support was available via email, and responses were prompt and helpful whenever I had a question or needed clarification.

Even though there wasn’t a live teaching practicum, the course included video demonstrations and sample lesson plans, which gave a clear idea of how to manage a real classroom. It also encouraged reflective practice by having students review their own lesson plans and think about how they would apply what they learned in a real teaching environment.

Another valuable part of the course was the focus on cultural awareness and adapting lessons to suit students from different backgrounds. This is an important skill, especially if you plan to teach English internationally or to diverse groups of learners.

The platform itself was user-friendly. I was able to have access of it both on my computer and phone, which made it convenient to study on the go.

Overall, this self-paced TESOL course was an excellent investment. It provided me with a solid foundation in English language teaching and the confidence to start my journey as an English teacher. Whether you're new to teaching or looking to build on existing experience, I would highly recommend this course especially for those who value flexibility and want to learn at their own pace.

Full of knowledge!

This course has been really helpful. I personally consider it to be extremely useful and complete. It helped me to strengthen my understanding of grammar topics and strategies of teaching. Seriously, I'm amazed of how complete it is! Thanks to the creators of this wonderful tool.

I've been learning to teach on my own and the course has complemented what I've learned and has given me more tools to continue my teaching learning journey.

I also loved to see teaching in action and the teachers seem really passionate about their jobs!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I was surprised of how well the teacher Evgenii manages all his classes. Mostly when it's necessary to establish discipline rules.
Pros
  • All the course provide real-life situations and their solutions.
  • It's very complete and straight-forward
Cons
  • None.
