Straightforward and simple.

To my surpise this course was actually quite interesting. There's a lot that goes into teaching English which I hadn't considered. Phonetics, grammar patterns, managing a classroom, designing tests etc.

My-tefl sets out the information in a really clear and simple way. You can tackle each module in your own time, and you always have a good idea of your progress. I personally found it useful to easily know where I was in the course, and what's coming next.

Another great thing about this course was the live tutor support. Whenver I got stuck, or needed that extra hand, I could reach out and chat with someone. Sure, I could have made it without them, but it helps to really understand it. That's what you're paying for, right?

Highly recommended course. They're even helping me to find a work placement for when I graduate university later this year!

What would you improve about this program?
I guess it got a little boring around the half-way point.

Great value and support!

Greetings from Korea!

I enrolled last year after hearing that you need a 120 hour TEFL course to obtain a visa for teaching here.

As a native speaker, I wasn't sure what benefit I could get from an online course, other than finishing with a certificate. The answer, I can tell you now, is a lot!

I definitely took my language skills for granted before taking this course. You may learn to speak English through 26+ years of life, but you don't appreciate the skills needed to teach it.

MyTEFL helped to break down all the complex parts i'd used without conscious thought, and give me the ability to teach with confidence.

A huge thumbs up from me. Affordable, super friendly, and they even helped me find a good school to teach at! 10/10.

Great Value For an Informative Course!

I initially signed up for this TEFL certificate after arriving to Taiwan and interviewing for several positions, and finding out that most schools I visited were asking me for a TEFL ceriticate if I had no experience teaching English already. I had heard it was easy to find a job in the East if you come from a native English-speaking country, and so I assumed it would be easy for me without anything. I had no experience, so I figured I should suck it up and just take the most affordable course I could find. I didn't expect to learn anything, I just wanted the piece of paper...

Turns out I was wrong! Not only was I wrong about easily getting a job with no experience, but I was wrong about not learning anything from the TEFL course. After getting through the whole thing in just two months, I was really surprised of how unprepared I would have been if I actually did get a job without having first taken this TEFL course. It ended up teaching me a lot about teaching that I never expected to learn.

Therefore, I totally recommend this course before you think you can try what I did and just jump into a job without at least the knowledge this course gives you.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to do a TEFL certificate. I read a lot about how many online TEFL courses aren't what they promise to be, so I had my doubts about even doing it. Then I found out about MyTEFL.net...

My cousin completed the 120 hour course on their site and got a job a month later in Thailand. She was very happy with the amount she learned for such an affordable price, and told me that it is TOTALLY worth it. So I took her advice...

Two months later I contacted their friendly support staff and my free personal tutor (James) helped send my resume to a few schools in the countries I wanted to go to. Two weeks later I had an offer for a job in China and they even offered to pay for my flight over...I couldn't believe it!

Once I started teaching in an actual classroom, I was even more grateful I took their course. A lot goes into teaching English as a foreign language!

Most people, I think, underestimate the real benefits of a good TEFL course. Maybe because others do not have the same type of information. With the myTEFL course, I was amazed with how much they broke down everything and made teaching complicated concepts easy to understand.

The only times I contacted them (aside from the time at the end for a job), their friendly tutors got back to me right away with a detailed explanation. That surprised me! I thought for sure I would get some automated Robot response...NOPE! - great service.

If I had to go back in time and choose which TEFL course to take again, I would choose MyTEFL.net 9 times out of 10!

Great course content, great price, great customer service! Thank you!

What would you improve about this program?
I realized after I started teaching in the classroom, that that is where I learned the most important lessons about being a teacher. So, if I could change one part, I would have liked to have some training/practice in an actual classroom. But those types of classes take too much time and cost too much money (for me at least)!
