Thank you it was a wonderful experience

I had a wonderful experience with myTEFL while completing my 120-hour TEFL certification. The course was well-structured, easy to navigate, and covered all the essential aspects of teaching English as a foreign language. The lessons were informative and practical, helping me build confidence in lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching methodology.

What I appreciated most was the flexibility of the course, which allowed me to study at my own pace while balancing other responsibilities. The content was clear, engaging, and suitable for both beginners and aspiring ESL teachers looking to strengthen their skills.

I would highly recommend myTEFL to anyone considering a career in English language teaching. It provided me with valuable knowledge and prepared me for exciting opportunities in the ESL field.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you're planning to teach abroad, don't be afraid to take the leap. The journey can feel overwhelming at first, but proper preparation makes all the difference. Complete your TEFL course seriously, take notes, and try to understand the practical aspects of teaching rather than rushing through the modules just to earn the certificate.

Research your destination country, learn about its culture, and keep all your important documents organized. Stay open-minded, adaptable, and patient because living and working in a new country comes with both challenges and incredible rewards.

Most importantly, believe in yourself. There may be moments of self-doubt, but stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to some of the most meaningful experiences of your life. Teaching abroad is not just about building a career—it's also about personal growth, cultural exchange, and discovering strengths you never knew you had.

Great Foundational Training

I used my tefl cert to help me prepare for teaching in Thailand and online. It was great foundational education and it's been super useful. I often go back to the course as a refresher. Good value as well. Overall this cert was well worth it.
I've been teaching in Thailand since 2024 and the cert has helped a lot. I think if anyone wants to teach abroad, the first step is to learn all the important knowledge and skills and this cert can help.
One other thing I really appreciate is the help and support from this organization.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
First day of class was intense! Its best to breathe and focus on the teaching and materials.

Amazing experience

Learning with MyTefl was an amazing experience. It was easy to use and the content was engaging. The customer service was very helpful when I needed it. I took the extra course in online learning which I found relevant as teaching English as a second language online is becoming more popular. I am looking forward to using my new found knowledge of teaching English as a second language in the future both online and abroad. I am confident that MyTefl will help me find the best placement abroad to use my new skills.

A wonderful 140-Hour TEFL Certification - Perfect for new college grads

I chose to contact MyTefl due to the positive reviews I saw posted online via both websites and personal blogs. I first contacted Mytefl.com with questions and all were happily answered (quite quickly) by Mislav. When I decided to take the course, I shared my college transcripts as a way to get 50% off my course since they offer a full-time university student discount. This made their already well-priced courses even more affordable. They quickly issued my discount and I happily began my 140-hour master course. As a non-education major who is seeking a job overseas, I found the MyTefl course easy to navigate and understand. I also loved the free tutoring they offer if any questions arise when you are completing their courses. Additionally, the material and quizzes are engaging and the MyTefl platform was easy for a novice like me to navigate. I also appreciate that this fabulous company offers a built-in library with a vast number of teaching resources their students and alumni can use in their careers, in addition to job placement assistance. I honestly have no complaints and highly recommend this wonderful TEFL course to anyone who is seeking a TEFL certificate or wishes to teach overseas.

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly feel the MyTefl.com courses are well-structured and ideal for anyone seeking a TEFL certification, whether they are in education or in another field like myself. Therefore, I would not change anything :-)

A Teaching Certification that Prepares You Well

I was initially in contact with Vincent at MyTEFL. He offered customer service that hit home. With how he responded to my initial email and considering that he offered me what I needed so that I could get started, I am grateful I chose MyTEFL. Regarding the reading material, I was initially expected that I would have to watch videos, but upon paying, I found that it was all in written form, which worked out well for me because everything was succinct and well-thought out. I'm now ready to move to Chengdu China!

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe you could include a city-focused job locator feature.

MyTEFL

The subject matter is thorough and well formatted. The regular use of short review quizzes is good for the student to keep on top of each unit of study.
As an inexperienced on-line learner, the course built my self confidence.
The presentation of teaching strategies is solid and sensible. However I suspect someone new to teaching might feel more reassured with some visual examples to illustrate the concepts. In my case this was not necessary as I am an experienced teacher, in fact I have mentored and tutored many first year placements and student teachers. This is their most significant field of self doubt. Usually the content is their strength.
As I said this course gave some very succinct and helpful advice on teaching strategies.

What would you improve about this program?
As detailed above, I believe some visual strategies of classroom teaching would round out this course for those with no teaching experience.
Just saw opportunity for photo upload, and that is not relevant in my case.

140-Hour TEFL Certification through myTEFL

The 140-Hour program through myTEFL was extremely thorough and well worth the (rather affordable) cost. Throughout the course, I was highly impressed with how up-to-date course content was as it was easy to see that the course is consistently being improved upon. The only thing I would've enjoyed seeing a bit more of is video content. As someone who learns best by witnessing things firsthand, I would have loved to watch the teaching methods in action. I also wish there was a way I could look back at this course throughout my first months teaching (it expires 180 days after you gain your certification), but the built-in library offers a plethora of resources to download to bring with you into your budding career.

Overall, I loved taking this course and found myself spending hours going through modules before even realizing I'd spent so much time learning. If you are on the fence about going through with a TEFL certification, I highly recommend myTEFL not only for their courses, but also for their aid in job searching as well.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make sure to download all the resources as they won't always be available! Have fun learning :)

Great quality, great price

After much research, I decided to give myTEFL 120 hour course a try and I'm glad I did! UI is clean and content/quizzes are very engaging and relevant to all levels of experience. I plan to teach English for the first timr in Japan but will start online teaching for now due to Covid-19. I feel like this course gave me confidence to pursue this goal. Customer service is AMAZING. It's also great to be able to refer back to course material after finishing upon request. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to teach English for the first time or veterans as a refresher.

Definitely recommend!!! 10/10!

I am so grateful I came across this online course because it took me about one month to complete it. I have to say that I was very motivated to have my certification as an ESL teacher so I can apply to work oversea, so it was very easy to work on it everyday for about one hour.
-The platform is very easy to naviguate through, with an easy-access tutor to help you and answer your questions.
-The pace is yours, so you can go entirely at your own flow (which is another plus).
-The price is very cheap to have an accredited certification.
-The website stays accessible after you completed the program, so you can keep access to all the information (for a certain amount of time).
-myTEFL helps you find jobs in many different countries after completing your class.
-The material is very easy to understand, very well explained and presented, and gives you opportunity to discover helpful website with activities or materials.
-Support team is very accessible and reply quickly when you encounter a problem.

Finally, I highly recommend the program to anyone who is seeking to expand their teaching skills and want to go oversea. It is the best opportunity and I am excited to be part of a new project outside my home country.

What would you improve about this program?
Honestly, nothing. I don't see how it could be any greater.
