From University Professor to Confident EFL Teacher

I originally enrolled with The TEFL Academy just to “explore options”, but the course ended up reshaping my professional plans. I’ve been a university professor for many years, and this qualification has given me a clear, practical pathway into teaching English as a foreign language.

The online course was well structured and easy to follow, with each unit building logically on the last. The assignments were challenging in a good way and closely linked to real classroom practice. My tutors’ feedback was detailed and respectful, which helped me improve rather than simply tick boxes.

Thanks to this course, I now feel confident about integrating ELT principles into my university teaching, offering English classes part-time (online and in person), and eventually moving into Business English and academic English. For anyone who already works in education or is considering a career change into TEFL, I would highly recommend this course as a solid, professional starting point.
