Highly recommend

I completed the Level 5 combined course and managed to complete the online portion in under a month as I had enough time to dedicate towards it. I'm extremely happy with the course content and it's quality. The assessments were challenging but not too difficult and the tutor feedback was always quick and provided useful advice I could put into practice. The in-person classroom portion was delivered by a gentleman named Ian who I can't thank enough for making the class engaging and much to learn from. I'm very happy to The TEFL Academy and will seek job assistance when I have graduated.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Delivering a lesson in front of the class was a little daunting but it was easy to overcome the nerves through the support off my peers and the instructor. I had to take advantage of the opportunity so I could really get a feel of what delivering lessons in actual practice would be like
Pros
  • Informative
  • Engaging
  • Meeting like-minded individuals
Cons
  • Long day

Teaching English as a Foreign Language Level 5- The TEFL Academy

I recently completed the TEFL Level 5 course online, and it was both a highly rewarding and challenging experience. As a non-native English speaker from Mauritius, the flexibility of studying online was invaluable, allowing me to balance my coursework with my responsibilities as a teacher and a mother of two.

The course provided a comprehensive overview of key teaching principles, covering everything from lesson planning and classroom management to more advanced topics. One of the most valuable aspects was learning how to adapt teaching strategies to suit different types of learners, a skill that will undoubtedly be useful in any educational environment. The curriculum was well-organised and covered various levels of English language instruction, from pre-beginner to advanced adult learners. Additionally, the course introduced important teaching frameworks such as the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which were new concepts for me.

That being said, the course was not without its difficulties. The three assignments demanded thorough research and critical thinking, which at times felt overwhelming. However, these tasks encouraged a deeper engagement with the material and helped me refine my research skills. Ultimately, they strengthened my understanding of essential teaching methodologies and better prepared me for real-world classroom experiences.

The support from tutors was outstanding. Their timely feedback and guidance were instrumental after each assignment, making the learning process more manageable. Additionally, the online platform was user-friendly, making it easy to access course materials and submit assignments without any difficulties.

Since completing the course, I have been receiving many opportunities to teach abroad, something that would not have been possible without this training. The course effectively prepared me to navigate real-world classroom situations, develop engaging lesson plans, and adapt my teaching methods to suit different learning styles.

Overall, this course was a significant step in my personal and professional development. While it required commitment and effort, the benefits have been well worth it. I highly recommend the TEFL Level 5 course to anyone seeking a thorough qualification in teaching English as a foreign language, especially those who need the flexibility of online learning. It is a transformative experience that opens doors to exciting opportunities around the world.

What would you improve about this program?
The program is already complete and well rounded. However, as the materials is online, you no longer have access to course materials after the course is over. It would be nice if some of the contents could be downloaded.
Pros
  • very effective feedback from tutors
  • great insights on lesson planning
  • applicable to a wide range of students
Cons
  • Overwhelming at times
  • Assignments need lot of time to complete
  • Access to course materials lost after the course

Moving to Rome with TEFL level 5

I began my TEFL level 5 qualification while still working full-time in my home country New Zealand. I found it hard to commit time to it while working a 9 to 5 job, but once I left and started preparing for my trip to Rome I started making good progress in the course.

Now I'm in Italy, a certified teacher, and I'm working for a private language school in the centre of Rome. I have two students so far; one is the personal chef of an Italian diplomat, the other is a prominent Italian actress. I interviewed at about 6 or 7 different schools and found one where my employer has a genuine interest in catering to my specific talents and expertise.

When I moved to Rome, where the Jubilee is now in full swing, I quickly realised that finding an apartment was going to be difficult. I was running out of savings fast and had to find a solution, so I applied to volunteer at one of the hostels here in Rome. This decision came out of necessity but now I realise it's one of the best things I could have done moving to a new city, because it helped me make so many great friends here right off the bat.

Now I've found an apartment here in Rome and I'm feeling reasonably comfortable looking at the year ahead!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My best piece of advice is not to take anyone else's advice. The way a person travels is personal to them - do it your own way.
