Excellent Course

I learnt all the essential topics which go into being a teacher of English abroad. The user experience was very easy. The interface was modern and simple to navigate and I had no issues in signing up or accessing the course. The end of unit tests were a great way to check on which topics I need to work on, and the end of course assessment was challenging yet a helpful way to also see areas for improvement. I will take on board what I have learnt in this course and hope to implement the skills I have acquired in my teaching journey.

A Really Good Course

I found this course really engaging and just the right level of challenging. I feel like I've gained so many skills and understandings from it that will help with teaching EFL. This course doesn't just teach you how to teach EFL but it also provides transferable skills, for example I have applied the seciton on SMART Objectives to my university degree and life in general. My only critique of the course was that it over complicated some examples by forcing itself to create generic student characters in order to use singular, gendered pronouns (he/she) unecessarily when it would be much clearer and easier to just use the singular they/them.

Amazing course!

This was a really thorough course which has equipped me to embark on my first teaching abroad journey. It was very easy to follow, with a mix of short activities, example resources, podcasts, quizzes and relations to real world. I particularly enjoyed the content relating to lesson plans, they go over each step in detail and go through how to effectively plan a lesson which was the part I was most concerned about. There was also a downloadable template to use for future lessons which I will be using when I get to my school. I'd really recommend this course!

Engaging!

It is good to be able to work at your own pace and the inclusion of videos, example worksheets, example lessons and assessments is so beneficial. I have learnt a lot from this course and can't wait to put it into practice! The quizzes after each module were great as they allowed me to think about what I had just learnt. The podcast sessions with James were also an engaging aspect that helped break up the course great. I enjoyed how the course also included classroom management, assessments and example activities as I was only expecting to learn the English language.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I have never travelled alone before and have decided to become a TEFL teacher in Thailand. I am nervous but more so excited for this adventure! With this course I feel confident and being organised and doing plenty of research also helped with my nerves.
Pros
  • Recapped English language that, as a native speaker, I wasn't too familiar with
  • Helped me understand how to run lessons to benefit students
Cons
  • It was a lot of information to take in

Super easy to use

This TEFL course was super easy to use and navigate. I learned so much whilst being able to fit it around everything else going on in my life. The podcasts from James were helpful and a nice way to break up the other lessons. Can't wait to put everything I have learnt into practice when I go abroad next year. I enjoyed being able to gain points for various activities and the leaderboards were a really fun motiator to keep participating in the course and see how many points you could earn. Would recommend.

Enjoyed the process

I liked the mix of mediums used for the learning process. There was a combination of tutorials, presentations, and reading which made the course easier to digest. The tests at the end of every unit helped record progress through the course. The final assessment was tough but rewarding to pass and was a welcome challenge. Also, the consistent inputs from James were very helpful in reminding a learner about aspects of teaching to look out for to enhance the learning experience for both the students and the teacher. Overall, the course taught me a lot regarding the deconstruction of English as well as cultural aspects to be considerate of when interacting with a group of people from a society different from one's own.

Great course

Its a very comprehensive and helpful course.
While the slides can get a bit lengthy at times, it does a great job of covering the many bases that are required for preparing to become an EFL teacher as well as going into enough detail to make you confident in the areas.
The site is very easy to navigate and simple to follow, and the modules are clearly categorised.
The podcasts with James add a nice variety and he gives an enlightened insight drawing from his own experiences as an EFL teacher.

120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course Review

TEFL Nomad has provided me with substantial, high-quality, accredited training that will hopefully allow me to succeed as a competent and effective EFL teacher in Vietnam next year. The course was well structured, informative and easy to follow. The podcasts with Jamie were particularly beneficial. He provided me with lots of good tips and tricks. Due to this course, I now feel fully prepared for what I anticipate will be an amazing experience in Hanoi. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a TEFL qualification.
