My TEFL experience

This course has opened my eyes to a whole new world of teaching. It has taught me to look at how students see the world and to then use that view to teach them new things. It was fun learning about how to teach different students of different cultures and nationalities. I used to think that there was only one way to teach a class or a student a new language, but this course has opened my eyes to other possible interesting ways of teaching the kiddies how to learn a new language. I would definitely recommend this course as a first time teacher!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Know where you would want to travel to and to which age kiddies you would want to teach and pay extra attention to the parts of the course that address the way of teaching to your chosen age group and nationality.
Pros
  • Teaches you new teaching techniques
  • Opens your eyes to new demographics

My unforgettable experience at The TEFL Academy

I must say my experience with the online level 5 diploma at the TEFL academy was the best. I was able to navigate through assignments that challenged me yet taught me so much about the English language. My favorite part of it all was the fact that I learn at my own pace which was amazing because I was able to grasp the concepts at my own timing. I also loved the fact that I was given access to webinars which really boosted my understanding of the English language. I would definitely recommend the TEFL academy to anybody that is looking to kickstart their teaching career🤗

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would change the fact that I was so scared about the whole course yet it completely navigable and understandable.
Pros
  • Learning at your own pace
  • Affordable learning fees
  • Swift customer service

Comprehensive TEFL Course Review - Unlocking the World of English Teaching

As young South African female, I embarked on The TEFL Academy's online course with high hopes and came away immensely satisfied. This comprehensive program offers a deep dive into the complexities of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), equipping learners with the essential tools and strategies to excel in diverse classroom environments.

From the outset, the course structure impressed me with its clarity and organization. Broken down into manageable modules, each segment builds upon the last, fostering a gradual but thorough understanding of teaching methodologies, language acquisition theories, and practical classroom management techniques. The intuitive online platform facilitated seamless navigation, allowing me to progress at my own pace while accessing a wealth of multimedia resources, including instructional videos, interactive quizzes, and downloadable materials.

One standout feature of The TEFL Academy's curriculum is its emphasis on real-world application. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical concepts, the course integrates hands-on teaching practice through simulated classroom scenarios and lesson planning exercises. Additionally, the constructive feedback provided by experienced tutors was instrumental in identifying areas for improvement and refining my instructional approach.

In conclusion, The TEFL Academy's online course sets the gold standard for TEFL certification programs. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking to embark on a fulfilling journey in English language teaching.

What would you improve about this program?
Even though this program exceeded my expectations by far there is one thing that I would add. As an assignment I think it would benefit the course taker to represent a class and make a video of the representation. Through this you get a practice run and the marker can give you valuable tips for the future.
Pros
  • The online course allowed me to work through the content on my own pace.
  • The course modules is well laid out and organized.
  • The course offers a lot of resources to use in the future.
Cons
  • It involves a lot of reading.
  • A lot of the concepts I have already studied in school.
  • The assignments can become confusing with all the different documents you have to open at once.

Excellent experience

It was a great opportunity to learn and improve as a teacher. The course is divided in a way easy to follow and filled with great practices and tips to utilize in class.
The videos and resources provided were amazing and showed real practices and activities in class, which can be very helpful in the future.
Having all those websites to help create materials for classes is really helpful.
The assignments were a bit too demanding and I couldn't know what remarks I had for my assignments when getting a Merit. Therefore, I couldn't get a better grade in my next assignment.

What would you improve about this program?
The assignments need to be less demanding as sometimes you need to be creative and spontaneous in class
Pros
  • A lot of practices and tips
  • Great videos and resources
Cons
  • Assignments taking too long
  • Not having remarks when getting a Merit to improve

I would definitely recommend them.
