Great course

This course has been fantastic from start to finish. I remained engaged throughout and was able to complete it at a pace of my choosing which allowed me to integrate it into my day. The podcasts from James were a great addition and it was helpful to have the insight of someone who has experienced teaching abroad. I am now much more confident in my ability to teach English as a foreign language and I look forward to applying everything I have learnt to my teaching in China. This course has opened the world of teacher to me.

TEFL 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course

Great course which offers a meticulously structured and detailed overview of essential knowledge that has me feeling prepared to teach in front of a class of students from a variety of ages and backgrounds.

The course uses a well-rounded teaching approach by allowing you to utilise different learning styles from content including podcasts, in-depth explanations, quizzes and worksheets, and more. I've also gained great inspiration for my own inevitable lesson planning.

Really enjoyed doing the course, and can't wait for the next steps!

My Experience with TEFL Nomad

I found this course to be both thorough and well-researched overall. There was a lot of information that was presented, but it was conveyed in a simplistic, holistic, and understandable manner that impressed me. I particularly enjoyed the mini-podcasts with James throughout the course, because he added insights from a standpoint of a veteran teacher. His shared anecdotes and advice were engaging as well as very helpful to me, seeing as I am going to be a first time teacher after acquiring this certification. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is thinking about developing their skills in teaching English, especially those who are considering going abroad. I feel much more prepared and ready to meet the challenges that await me!

What would you improve about this program?
In terms of this online program, my one major critique would be that it did tend to skew towards lots of reading and memorization. The end-of-module quizzes were a nice way to ensure that the information presented was retained, but I would have enjoyed a bit more variety in the course, such as having interactive activities (click and drag, typing responses, etc). Also, I found the podcasts to be very helpful and would have appreciated having more of them.

120 Certified TEFL Course

I completed this TEFL course in order to secure a job overseas in Vietnam. Having a TEFL certification opens up so many doors for native English speakers to work abroad. Once you have a TEFL you can work almost anywhere! This course had an easy-to-use platform, was extremely organized, and provided good examples that demonstrated classroom activities well. It is a straightforward way to get TEFL certified. I am excited to being my work abroad! Hopefully, I will be able to use the knowledge that I gained through this course.

TEFL Course

Well organized program which is very clearly informed by experienced English teachers who understand the challenges faced by people looking to teach abroad. The guide to creating materials as well as the provision of templates will prove to be very useful and will help you keep material fresh and presentable with minimal stress. By describing common working experiences this program will help you preempt possibly difficult professional situations and ensure teaching success from the very start of the year.

10/10 Experience

As someone who is new to the world of teaching English as a Foreign language, I have been going through the motions of excitement, nervousness, and at times being at a loss on what my next step should be in preparation for my trip to teach in China. TEFL Nomad has been a great online supporter through its accessible and thorough course.

For someone who does not have a lot of teaching experience or navigating the classroom, TEFL Nomad's 120 hr course really steps in with its modules breaking down the main components of teaching, making some of the most difficult aspects of teaching (grammar, classroom management, etc.) engaging and creative by providing a lot material and ideas to include in your own classroom and something to look forward to and not dread in your teaching journey. Overall, what sets this course apart from others is its emphasis on practical application and empathy when it comes to students. Looking forward to teach from the knowledge I have gained from this course. :)

Pros
  • easy to follow
  • provides a lot of class material and ideas to use in the classroom
  • in-depth context
Cons
  • perhaps adding in more a personal touch from real-life teachers and their experiences, etc

120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course with TEFL Nomad; TFT

A lot of the information in this course is extremely valuable for those beginning their TEFL journey. The course is structured well and increases in rigor as you move through. I The topics can be a bit repetitive sometimes, which can get monotonous. However, it further helps drive some of the necessary points home. The sections regarding grammar, classroom environment, and lesson planning were notably helpful. The podcasts and sample worksheets were great supplementary materials along with the course readings. I am fortunate to have obtained such useful information and will gladly employ these concepts in the classroom! I thoroughly enjoyed this course!
