Great Experience

I found the lessons to be easy to understand, yet very complete. The authors incorporate practical solutions for many classroom situations, along with explaining the theoretical bases for why certain techniques work in certain situations, while others are best avoided. Topics like classroom management are discussed, as well as practical methods for teaching beginner, intermediate, and advanced, students. Overall, a great experience.

Very useful and wondeful experience

It was very useful experience for me. Thank you for your help in my professional development. During the course I gained a lot of new information which will be helpful for me in my future job as an ESL teacher. It was very interesting and exciting for me to learn by this program and I reccomend everyone who wants to be an ESL teacher overseas to pass this course and obtain lots of new information.

Overall good if you need the certificate to go abroad and already have teaching experience

I've been working with kids and young adults in academic settings for years and had taken pedagogy and linguistics courses in school, so this course was incredibly easy for me. I actually was able to complete it over one weekend, but I recommend giving yourself a week or two if you don't already have the linguistics and pedagogy background.

My bottom line recommendation includes the caveat that you will get the certificate, but should probably review the materials on your own after and do outside reading too, especially if you don't have a pedagogy background.

Remarkable TESOL experience

Being a Math graduate and coming into this course knowing nothing about teaching, the course has really exposed me to the various factors that contribute to a successful English teaching career, especially with regards to class room management. I really enjoyed the flexibility of the course, as I was able to do it at my own relaxed pace which contributed greatly to my understanding. I just love this course and think that it is a great learning tool for those professionals who want to become the educators of tomorrow.

What would you improve about this program?
Make videos longer.

UniPrep 120 hour TESOL course

I love that this course is set at your own pace. I finished within two weeks. It's a stress-free and informative certification course! The ONLY downside I experienced was the course videos are autotuned so it takes a unit or two to get used to the guys voice. Other than that, this course was exactly what I needed to take the next step in my TEFL career. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to teach english abroad.

What would you improve about this program?
Use an actual voice for the videos. The generated voice got to be slightly annoying.

Thank you!

I want to teach in China, and Uni-prep was referenced to me by a friend who told me that getting her TESOL certificate was an easy and smooth process. Therefore I decided to try it out. I just finished and this is the only program i've seen that is well organized and informative. The videos were a great addition because they go in great detail, but not the the extent to where is exhausting. The reading is also easy and well organized. I couldn't be happier by this service. Thank you!

Great Review Course

As someone who graduated from university with a degree in TEFL, this was a wonderful review course! I really enjoyed the videos and commentary, as well as the examples of activities and assessments in the articles. Going through this course has given me some great tips and reminders and will be extremely helpful during my job hunts for teaching in Korea. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting a review course on TESOL and classroom techniques!

What would you improve about this program?
I think I would make it a bit more challenging, with more critical thinking involved for the educators taking the course.

Great Experience!

The Uni-Prep TESOL Course provides its students with the flexibility to complete the whole course at the latter's desired pace. I enjoyed taking up this course. I am glad to have taken this course as it has equipped me with the basic skills and knowledge that I need in my first post as an English teacher. The website has a very friendly user interface. It is well laid out and easy to use. The handouts are very informative and provides useful and innovative strategies for teaching the English language. The materials and the visuals are very well prepared.

Thank you from Chile!

I am very glad that I decided to earn my TESOL Certificate via the UNI-Prep Institute. Having international, online access to course materials allowed me to complete course requirements rapidly, at my own pace, in the comfort of my apartment in Chile. Not having to wait for international shipping of materials or awkward in-class lecture times only offered at certain times of the year was a huge plus for my timeline.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to teach English in conjunction with one of the United Nations' English Opens Doors Programs for public school children.

What would you improve about this program?
Adding printable in-class resources like picture flash cards for beginners/intermediate/advanced vocabulary would be a plus (that focused on groups of the first 3000 English words).

Adding printable lesson plans for particular subjects organized by beginner/intermediate/advanced would be great.

Great experience for non-native speaker

I enjoyed the course a lot, it was a great experience. I am not native speaker, however, the program is designed so good that it is easy to follow and understand. Quizzes are not difficult if you read the provided information in pdfs or watch the videos. I can't wait to apply all I have learnt in a real-life situations. I hope soon I will have just opportunity. I will try first to gain some experience in my own country, and then I will move to somewhere else. I am sure my Uni-prep TESOL certificate will help me to find a job wherever I go. Thank you very much.
