Program Reviews

Every element of course readings, writing assignments, debates and online interaction with other students as well as professors were incredibly useful. Within a month of gaining my certification, I went confidently into the TEFL teaching world of Paris, France. Thanks to this program's incredible resources, research techniques, readings, assignments, and in-field teacher training, I currently teach ESL at 4 Universities in Paris, France. This was a career-changing program, can't recommend it enough.

It was a great experience. The support I received during and still after my completion has been incredible. I had a wonderful time connecting with my classmates and professors. Everyone is very open minded and very knowledgeable. The networking access gained in this community has been amazing. I have contacts on Facebook, instagram, and YouTube. They are very prompt to answer questions or any issue you may have. Projects and assignments are easy to understand. I really enjoyed taking this class totally.

My experience with ITA was excellent. The admissions team was very supportive helping me find a program type that was right for me. I elected to get my certification in Costa Rica through their partner. The instructors were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and supportive. They were very realistic about what expectations were for finding a job and helped us a ton with resources. The course really prepared me for what I would be doing in the classroom. The instructions had a lot of experience and shared their knowledge.

I didn’t use it as much as I should have but the support after the course from ITA and the alumni network was great. The alumni network is really big and I was able to help other graduates of the program find jobs in Costa Rica as well.

After teaching English for a while without formal training, I decided seek formal training in TEFL. It made all the difference. Despite having earned a degree in journalism, and feeling confident to navigate the maze of the English language, formal TEFL training helped enormously. Most useful for me was the class management component of the course. I now have the skills to plan, teach and control my classes much better than previously. My classes are now more predictable, relaxed and fun.
The course was challenging, but tutors were attentive and very helpful. I enjoyed the course, and now enjoy teaching much more than before I obtained the training.
The TEFL certificate is indeed a ticket to ride.

I was excited, but hesitant to sign up for the TEFL course from ITA, but after speaking to my advisor, it was a very easy and happy decision. My course instructor was amazing and thorough. I loved the feedback from the course assignments, as well as the forum postings from colleagues. It was a challenging, but very enjoyable course to take. It had me thinking and learning new things the entire course. I signed up for more specialty courses too! Very excited to take those this summer. I recommend.

Great support with knowledgeable faculty and staff. Kind and friendly communiry of persons from around the all. All which who possess the willingness to understand those who they serve. I think TEFL Acadmey ought to have a gain more prestige, and partner with EFL and ESL programs within higher education institutions. Particularly, on a graduate level. I believe there can many who benefit from its courses. However, my most favorite attribute is the community I’ve gained and retained -— that’s my greatest highlight as a TEFL alumna.

The TEFL course helped me get a teaching job in China and has opened doors for me in the education field. I started teaching oral English at a university with low pay, but after two years, and some experience I nearly doubled my pay at a English training center. Having four years of teaching English in China; it opened the doors to teach at an international school. My pay significantly higher than at the training center. I started as an ESL teacher and now I'm exploring a position as a librarian.

Because I love both language and travel, teaching ESL affords me a great way to share my expertise and help people personally and professionally.
International TEFL Academy gave me a way to study online during the pandemic, and my teacher and the materials the school provided were first-rate.
Since then, I've worked remotely for a school for business professionals in Costa Rica, as well as tutoring school-age children who recently moved to the U.S. from overseas.
ITA is a great place to learn.

Having TEFL-certified in International TEFL Academy was an excellent experience.
The materials in the course help me to prepare my start-from-zero journey in English teaching. It is a comprehensive course that ensures the student is prepared to become a teacher. The course itself covers all things that a good teacher is required to have.
What I love the most is the student’s support or here it is called Student Affairs. It is like a wonderful job search department with complete information about potential employers and all things you need to know before you step out to teach in the place that you have been aiming to. You don’t have to worry about what you will do after finishing the course because they are ready to help you with everything that comes next. Another wonderful thing is the connection between fellow alumni from the ITA that will help you to consider better where to teach based on the experiences that they keep sharing in groups. The tuition cost me a fortune but it was worth the money. I had my doubts before I got my feet wet in teaching ESL but ITA helped me get through it.

Despite being an online course, I felt very engaged by both the material and my instructor's teaching approach. Each week, he would send updates on lesson plans, tips on how to 'ace' each assignment, and times he would be available for additional, free lessons. Overall, this course prepared me to become a teacher of English, and added onto my undergraduate degrees I already had obtained. I've received several job offers already, due to ITA's reputation and my teaching ability this class gave me.
