Honestly, I can't recommend the Level 5 TEFL Course enough!! It was one of the best decisions I've made in a WHILE. I think the course itself is really well put together, and the dashboard is so easy to use that studying never felt like a chore...
A massive shoutout to Lisa, who always replied to my emails within about 6 hours. No question ever felt like a silly one, and she was always so helpful! Jess from the employability team was amazing too and really helped me find teaching opportunities after I finished the course. The post-course support has been kinda fantastic!
Merlin, the AI chatbot was kinda cool, on the learning platform. He was genuinely useful whenever I got stuck, and some of his comments actually made me laugh out loud haha
The Discord TEFL Community has honestly been one of the best parts of the whole experience. I've met so many lovely people from all over the world, and it's been such a great place to get real advice, swap ideas, and connect with other teachers while travelling and i dont know many other companies that have this
After completing the course, I started teaching English online alongside running my own online Qigong business, Moonrise Studio. It gave me the freedom to live in Thailand, and I genuinely felt like I was living like royalty! I also used TEFL AI tefl.ai to help with lesson planning and activity ideas, and it made teaching online so much easier. top tip for ya there!
Overall, this course gave me so much more than a qualification—it gave me the confidence, support, and freedom to build the lifestyle I always dreamed of. If you're thinking about teaching English abroad or online, I'd recommend The TEFL Institute in a heartbeat!
