Good course material

I completed this course in about 3 weeks time and must say it was very well designed.

There is a lot of valuable information in this course, and you can apply most of what you learn in a teaching role or similar. I particularly liked the section on grammar structure which i found was challenging but helped me improve my grammar skills. The lessons go into details with examples and your understanding is tested with quizzes after each section.

I had issues with a previous online TEFL course (from another company) which tainted my trust in online courses but after my experience with MyTEFL changed my outlook and restored my faith.

If you have not started a course yet and are debating starting one then my only advise is to enroll with this company!

What would you improve about this program?
I wished that I would be able to get some in class experience or a in person demo.

Brilliantly designed

Brilliant introductory course and for its price you can not go wrong. Lots of great information about teaching and how to manager classrooms etc. The course is broken up into manageable sections and after each of these is a small quiz.

I did the course at a very casual pace mostly while commuting to and from work each day as it was easy to access on my tablet or phone. You can complete the course quite fast but I would suggest taking your time as there is tons of valuable information which can really be used in real world settings.

Overall I would say the course had great value and was designed very well. My experience with mytefl was seamless and the staff was helpful when I had any questions.

Thank you to the admin team for being there when I had any questions!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Signing up sooner would have been nice (we all know hindsight is 20/20)

Enjoyed eery minute

MyTEFL, thank you. Your 120 hour course was perfect. I enjoyed the self paced structure and found myself looking forward to more lessons. I just recently move to Grand Bahama and wanted something to add to my resume, I'm happy this course was available. Super easy to use, follow and thought provoking. The support materials, in the library section, are super useful and cover all areas of teaching EFL, what a great resource. The MyTEFL staff were quick to respond with any and all questions with answers that were useful to move forward with studying, resume building or job searching. I felt completely supported throughout the whole process and would highly recommend to friends, coworkers and family. I have no doubt that this was the right decision for me and I'm excited for my future working with students all over the world. My only question is, where to I want to go from here? The possibilities are endless.

What would you improve about this program?
I would not change anything. I would recommend just the way it is and only wish I had started sooner.

Great value course

The course was not only well designed and informative, but it was convenient for me to study on my own time and at a good pace. I tutor part time outside of my regular job and only heard of this course because my colleague who also does tutoring advised me she had taken the same course. She had pointed out the fact that it contained a lot which could be applied in the daily role as a tutor.

I didn't even have to complete the full 40 hour course before I saw the value in the lessons. The whole course was written and put together in a way that it was easy to understand but also challenging with the regular quizzes.

The price point didn't break the bank but the material and resources offered are very handy and useful to anyone in a teaching role.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would perhaps look into enrolling in the 80 hour course

Phenomenal Experience.

There was a ton of information available online about the different TEFL courses companies offer so it was hard to decide and make my final choice. I ended up choosing MyTEFL due to the reviews online as many have stated their success with the job placement.
Upon completion of the course I must admit that although I felt prepared for a teaching role, I was unsure about how to get the ball rolling. The staff at MyTEFL was very quick to respond and provide me with all the details of the Thailand internship.
Upon my arrival in Hua Hin I was introduced to the other interns and we took part in a 1 week onboarding session. The onboarding really helped me get comfortable, I along with the other internships (most of who were unfamiliar with Thailand) got to not only experience the local culture but were shown important things we would need to know for day to day living. This entire experience was nothing short of amazing and I am certain I made the right choice!

What would you improve about this program?
I would have loved to spend another week onboarding however I fully understand the need to move forward with the placement.

Very detailed and educational

The course was very detailed and insightful. After the introduction the course dives into valuable lessons and tips on how to be an effective teacher. This section was especially informative and I found it touched on both the do's and dont's to secure good habits from the start. The course was written with care and along with it being very in depth it also was easy to understand and relate to. I really feel that the course had tremendous value for its price and I have already recommended it to friends!

I loved the fact that the course was accessible through my smartphone and I could still navigate through the pages and quizzes easily. Not mention the great experience I had with the staff at MyTEFL from the moment I decided to enroll in the course, to when I had questions about my next steps following completion.

10/10 rating

Great Value and Highly Convenient

I really enjoyed the myTEFL program. The content and classroom examples provided in the coursework has helped me be able to envision a game plan for being an effective teacher oversees. My wife completed a TESOL Certification at a four year university and she affirmed that the content I was going over in the course was good.

After I completed the program, I felt prepared to answer any “pop quiz” questions during my interviews. I was also ready to explain on the spot how I would teach the past perfect to a group of students. Initially, I was nervous about keeping track of all the verb forms, but I felt much more confident after taking the course.

I am happy to say that I have been hired in Shenzhen, China and I will begin teaching this fall. Thank you myTEFL for helping me achieve my goals!

What would you improve about this program?
I would update certain examples or pop culture references in the course. However, the examples listed weren’t distracting from the content being taught

great for learning strategy and practical approaches

I decided to enrol in the 40 hour MyTEFL course as I plan to tutor younger children in EFL starting early next year. Although I do have previous experience tutoring, I felt it would be good to brush up on my knowledge. I also have found from online research that a certificate can help instil confidence in potential employers.
The course focused on helping me learn effective strategies to deliver information as well as creating tests. Because I won’t be tutoring until a few months from now, I was concerned about losing access to the course material. The staff at MyTEFL provided me permanent access to a review account through which I would have lifelong access to the material! And the TEFL library which has some excellent lesson plans and activities for my students. Now that is what I call a good investment in my career.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I wish that I would have known about the course sooner as it would have definitely helped me in my past tutoring

Legitimate and user friendly course!

The online course is user friendly and easy to use. It took me a good ten days to complete the course by putting in 3 hours some days and on average 2.5 per day. The tests are not too difficult if you thoroughly do the reading and you can always go back to review the reading if you are unsure of an answer during the tests.

The administration is helpful and got back to me the same day I requested my certificate hard copy to be sent. More than 45,000 people have completed their tefl certification course over the last 30 years. You can get job placement in exciting and unique countries like Myanmar. I would highly recommend signing up for their tefl certification course if you are short on time and can’t afford to spend $1,600 or more on one of the in person courses .

I believe they are one of the better companies out there and if you are going to Japan with NOVA then you will be relieved to know that NOVA accepts My Tefl . Good Luck and don’t over think your decisions!

What would you improve about this program?
I would maybe include 20 hours of classroom practice time .

120 Hour TEFL Certification

I recently completed the myTEFL 120 Hour course. I found the course to be excellent in terms of quality and value and I recommend the course to all of those wishing to pursue a career in the EFL industry. The course is well broken down and covers all of the areas that new teachers will need to succeed in a teaching role. I feel that the course is beneficial too to those with teaching experience. For myself, I have experience teaching teens and I found the course to be excellent as it gave me significant insights into effective ways to teach adults. I particularly like the regular tests at the end of each topic to ensure that understanding is there before progressing to the next level. Also the fact that you can work at your pace has been extremely useful to me as I am currently travelling. Thanks myTEFL!
