A great addition to those who are know Something in teaching

I was considering relocating to Asia from Europe, and at that time, the TEFL course seemed like a quicker route into teaching. Even though I hold a Master’s degree in Pedagogy and have a few years of school teaching experience, I found this course to be extremely valuable and efficient. Academic programs often lack the kind of deep, practical content that this TEFL course provides, especially in terms of real classroom application.

Now, I got my certificate, I can’t help but reflect on my previous teaching experiences. I realise that my lessons were often quite boring and not engaging for students — even though we were following strict government curriculum plans. The constant change of new material from lesson to lesson made it difficult for students to retain what they had learned.

This experience has made me reconsider my approach. I now understand that delivering an engaging, meaningful lesson requires more than just following a syllabus. It demands thoughtful planning, interaction, and strategies to help students connect with the material. So, moving forward, I need to carefully reflect on whether I want to return to teaching, and more importantly, whether I can deliver the kind of dynamic and effective lessons that truly support student learning.

This course was an amazing add-on to my exosting base and experience.
