The course was user friendly, easy to understand and engaging. I would highly recommend the course to those who want to teach either online or abroad. If I had any queries or needed assistance, the tutors and admin were quick to assist, respond and guide me. The excellent feedback on assignments really helped me understand and grasp the concepts of the course. Thank you to TEFL Academy for helping me achieve my goal of being a teacher to foreign student's and keep up the fantastic and great work.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

Cons

Managing my time to complete course.
Juggling current work and home to finish course.
Unexpected interruptions that made me stress.

We moved from Ireland to Spain very recently and I was looking for a program that could help me get started with a teaching career. This program ticks all the boxes. It is informative and packed with enough information to get anyone ready for a new career or a change in career, and it's perfect for travellers wanting to work while they see the world! The tutors are helpful and supportive, and the constructive criticism after assignments makes it easy to move forward with any hurdle you could possibly encounter. I am very happy with the course and can recommend it to anyone looking to start teaching!

The online course is interesting and well-designed, it provides helpful advice and materials for language teaching. It gives you brilliant insights about how to teach to students of any age from children to teenagers and adults. The online platform is appealing and interactive. The assignments are demanding but necessary to practice what you have learnt during the course. Support is always available when needed. Orientation is provided throughout and after the course about navigating the platform and job opportunities.

The Level 5 TEFL course was really great! I thoroughly enjoyed this new and exciting experience. The lessons taught me all I needed to know about teaching English, and they were engaging and simple to follow. I liked learning about lesson planning and how to manage a classroom. The assignments made me think and helped me practice what I learned. The tutors' comments were really beneficial and offered me wise suggestions for improvement. This course gave me the skills and confidence to start teaching!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

I would put in more time... I feel if I had allocated more time to this course... I would have achieved a lot more from it. Last studied, 20 years ago!

Pros

The course covers everything you need to know, making you feel well-prepared to teach English.
You can study at your own pace, which is perfect if you have other commitments.
It allows you 6 months to complete the course, which is very helpful too.

Cons

If you're not used to online learning, it might take some time to adjust.
Some assignments can take a lot of time especially if you are working full time.
The course pushes you to think critically and work hard, which can feel tough at times but ultimately makes you a better teacher.

Overall, I found this online TEFL course to be an excellent investment in my professional development. The course provided a comprehensive overview of language teaching, practical tools for creating lessons, and valuable support from tutors and fellow students. Whether you're new to teaching or looking to enhance your teaching skills, this course offers everything you need to get started on your TEFL journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to teach English as a foreign language, whether in-person or online.

I was under the impression from the price and what I'd read about TEFL courses, that this one would be a walk in the park. Happily, I was wrong. I say this because, whilst the course isn't the toughest thing you'll ever come across academically, it's far from an easy A. So you get a course that takes a bit of hard graft and, ultimately, a diploma that you've definitely earned.

If you possess zero TEFL experience, you'll think, "How could I have jumped on a plane to teach abroad without this?" Look no further than the TEFL Academy.

Pros

Value for money
Timely feedback
Overall, a testing course

I can't recommend this course enough for individuals who are considering going into a career involving teaching English abroad or simply those who want to improve skills in communication. I found the course a good balance of challenge whilst not being overly difficult and it teaches you a wide array of subjects and skills, breaking down each topic into easy-to-understand modules. The formatting is amazing, colourful and fun which creates an engaging experience which is easy to focus and concentrate on. Initially, I believed I would dislike the assessments dotted around the course but they were actually also very enjoyable, providing an opportunity to employ your newfound skills. This course is easy to balance with work or school (coming from a student who was completing the last year of my degree simultaneously with this course). In conclusion, I highly recommend to anyone contemplating achieving this level 5 certificate.

Pros

Easy to follow material
Provides resources to use in professional career
Extensive feedback on assignments

Patrice Condon

Program

Level 5 TEFL Course in Europe

Job Title

Student Advisor / Administrator

Patrice works as a Student Advisor in the Student Services department of The TEFL Academy, assisting students with enrolment, general enquiries and providing an insight into the wonderful world of TEFL teaching!

Having taught in Spain as a TEFL teacher, she uses her experience and familiarity with the TEFL industry to aid and provide advice to both prospective and current students.

What is your favorite travel memory?

I have spent many years studying and living in Spain. I moved to Alicante, Spain to study as part of my Erasmus programme and lived there for nearly 2 years. I fell in love with the country, the people, the culture and, of course, the food!

I then moved to Murcia, where I taught English as a Foreign Language for a year. It was the best experience of my life and really shaped who I am as a person. I was teaching young learners (5-7 years old), teenagers and adults. I also taught Business English to local companies, which was really interesting! My favourite moment was when I could see that the topic or grammar point we were covering in class actually clicked with the students. It's such a proud feeling to see your hard work paying off and getting good results.

I spent my free time traveling around Spain and visiting different cities such as Valencia, Madrid and Granada. I fell in love with the small, rustic, colourful villages of the small towns, the gorgeous architecture and the warm, open personalities of the local people. I improved my language skills immensely and by the end of the year, I was able to hold a strong, fluent conversation in Spanish, so that was another perk of the experience!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Working with The TEFL Academy is great fun! We have a fantastic team of supportive, enthusiastic and quirky staff. I really wanted to work for this company because I was keen to share my experiences with others and give hints and tips into what's it's like to be a TEFL teacher, what to expect, what to do/avoid doing. I have heard so many interesting and heart-warming stories from our students and I've also learned so much about different cultures of the world.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

My favourite return student story is one from our student Sandra Dawn Biddulph. Sandra completed our course and went on to teach in Northern Spain as a TEFL teacher. As a mature student, it was amazing to see Sandra immersing herself completely in life of the school, the local community and religious fiestas. Sandra worked in language schools but is also a private tutor. I love that our course has provided her with a full skill set and that she is using what she has learned to help others on their language-learning journey!

I was really able to relate to Sandra, having gone through a lot of the same experiences in Spain. Sandra proves that it is never to let to follow your dream and that jumping into the deep-end can result in the most fantastic experiences.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

The TEFL Academy offers many different internship programmes. If you're keen on working in Spain, I would definitely recommend the Spain Internship programme run by Meddeas. It offers TEFL-qualified teachers the chance to move to Spain to work as a language assistant teaching children from 2yrs to 18yrs old in a Spanish school for 3-9 months. I would love to complete this programme because it offers full board accommodation with a volunteer host family, which I think would be a fantastic experience and a great way to fully immerse yourself culturally. You receive a monthly allowance also, which is more than enough to get by, as your expenses in Spain will be quite low. Food, transport and accommodation are so cheap! A full meal would cost you less than €10 in most restaurants and a beer is only €1.50 on average, which is crazy!

Working 20-25 hours per week in a classroom environment, the programme gives you the chance to work on and develop many skills, such as public speaking, language skills, creativity, team working, topic preparation, patience, maturity, autonomy, and cultural awareness.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

I'm proud of our team every day. I love the fact that all of the staff in Student Services have TEFL experience and have worked abroad. We have a really broad range of knowledge, which is amazing because it allows us to help students out no matter what side of the world they're looking to teach in. We have a really strong and passionate team, who love what they do and I believe that we help with drive the company forward in the best way possible.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I think that it's essential that a company has a key set of values that it sticks by to in order to be successful. The TEFL Academy strives to provide support to our students, from the moment that they enrol, to assisting with their course, to the proud moment when they obtain their qualification, right through to their exciting job search. It's important that we are empathetic and that we can relate with our students on a personal level.
