Excellent!

The course I took was the 120-hour online OnTESOL. It was very helpful and I learned a lot. The material was easy to read and understand. If I had any questions, my tutor was very helpful.

The course helped me to obtain an online teaching job. I took the course a few years ago. I taught for about 1 1/2 years with VIPKid. Now I am going back to teach again and want to take the 20-hour online course as a refresher before I continue. I am looking forward to taking the next course since I had such a good experience with the first one.

Pros
  • Good instructions
  • Material was easy to navigate.
  • The tutor was helpful
Cons
  • None

Worth every dollar!

I recently completed the OnTESOL 120 Advanced course, and it was absolutely worth every dollar spent. The course not only provided me with the skills and knowledge necessary for teaching English as a second language but also helped me secure several job offers in Japan.

The tutor was exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive throughout the course. They made the material challenging yet accessible, ensuring that I truly grasped the concepts. Their guidance went beyond the course content—they even provided invaluable resume advice, which proved instrumental in landing job opportunities.

Overall, I highly recommend the OnTESOL 120 Advanced course to anyone serious about teaching English abroad. It’s a comprehensive program with dedicated instructors who are genuinely invested in their students' success. A fantastic investment for anyone looking to start or advance their ESL teaching career!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I were to do the 120-hour Advanced TESOL Certificate program all over again, one thing I would change is dedicating more time to practicing live teaching scenarios. While the course provided a solid theoretical foundation and great practical tips, more opportunities for live, interactive teaching practice would have been beneficial. Having more real-time feedback on my teaching techniques from experienced instructors or peers could further enhance my confidence and classroom management skills. Engaging in more hands-on teaching experiences earlier in the course would make the transition to real-world teaching even smoother.
Pros
  • Comprehensive and Practical Content: The program covered a wide range of topics, from language acquisition theory to practical teaching strategies for grammar, reading, and speaking. The balance between theory and practice helped me feel well-prepared for
  • Flexibility and Self-Paced Learning: The online format allowed me to complete the course at my own pace, which was great for managing my schedule. I could revisit lessons as needed and work through the material without pressure, making the learning experi
  • Supportive Instructors and Feedback: The instructors were always responsive, providing timely feedback and answering questions. Their guidance made the learning process smooth, and I felt supported throughout the course.
Cons
  • Limited Live Teaching Practice: While the course content was rich, there was a lack of live teaching practice or real-time interaction with students. More opportunities for hands-on teaching with direct feedback would have been valuable for gaining practi
  • Interaction with Peers: Although the course had forums for discussion, the interaction with peers felt minimal. More structured peer collaboration or group work could have enhanced the learning experience by allowing us to share ideas and learn from each
  • Cultural Context Depth: While cultural awareness was covered, I felt that more in-depth exploration of how to handle various cultural challenges in the classroom could have been helpful. Additional case studies or examples of teaching in diverse environme

120-hour Advanced TESOL - Excellent Course

Even though I've been teaching English for 4 years, this course was exceptional. All the materials were incredibly useful, including the additional videos and resources. I especially enjoyed the Phonology Module; my knowledge in this area had become rusty, and it was great to refresh it. The Methodology Module was the highlight for me. I took great pleasure in creating lesson plans, and with Margaret's help, I had the opportunity to refine key points. I loved that I could work at my own pace, which allowed me to balance this course with my main job.

Pros
  • Useful materials and resources.
  • The mentor was really fast in checking my lesson plans.
  • Flexible pacing to fit around my main job.
Cons
  • Some content might feel repetitive for experienced teachers.

120-hour Advanced TESOL certificate

The program of the course is well-structured. The videos were a helpful component in each module. I do recommend watching them as well as reading the materials. Also, practice tests are a great way to improve your chances of getting a better score on the final exam, particularly in Grammar and Phonology modules.
The lesson planning module was a bit challenging but very useful.
I would probably expand the section on lesson-planning to give students more opportunities to practice.
Overall, it is a great course. I do recommend it.
