The TEFL Academy provided me a wonderful online experience. The content was clear and easy to understand. The support was excellent and when contacted, immediately helped me with my queries. The feedback for the assignments were very helpful and detailed. The tutors informed me of how to improve my lesson plans. The content was easy to read and understand. I also found this experience very enjoyable and fun as the assignments give you a chance to adapt your learning styles. I would definitely recommend this course to many people.

The website TEFL uses is easy to navigate. The information is presented in different ways; there is a lot of reading, but there are also video's and also exercises where you can see the views of fellow students. You can completely work through the material at your own pace. The assignments are clearly explained, with an example you can review. The instructions make it very clear what is expected, and you can also see the criteria that will be used for grading. The assessment is very quick; I received feedback within two days each time. The feedback is detailed and really helpful. In short, I highly recommend taking the TEFL Level 5 course.

I enjoyed my course thoroughly. I felt the coursework was both simple enough for me to grasp but also challenging enough to help me learn and grow
I always had support within 24 hours and my work was graded soon after I submitted ensuring I had enough time to fix anything or resubmit. I also got detailed feedback on all of my assignments so I knew where I could put more effort. The platform was incredibly easy to use and it has tonnes of resources so you always have material to use even after the course

Recently, I finished my TEFL course with TTA, and I must say, I couldn't be more satisfied. Complex yet perfectly fitted assignments for course objectives have challenged me to think critically and apply everything learned in practical scenarios. The instructor feedback was amazingly detailed and constructive; it showed me where I needed to improve. Also, the content was comprehensive, well-structured, and covered all the essential points necessary for one to later on have a very successful career in teaching English. It really equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to feel confident in my teaching abilities.

Attending the Online Level 5 Course at The TEFL Academy was so exciting!
The course is perfectly structured and covers thoroughly all language parts and the four language skills a teacher must teach.
The online text explains the information clearly; it provides examples, situations, and references. It also contains links to other parts of the course dealing with the cited topic. Thus, the information is recycled and it becomes easier to remember what you have learned.
Even though it is an online course, I felt part of a community and never felt alone. I think this is quite special. This is one of the reasons why I so much appreciate The TEFL Academy course, and I tell you why. First, at the end of each topic you test your knowledge. You shall pass the test to move on. This made me feel involved: I thought I could check my learning, it doesn’t matter how. Secondly, whenever I had a problem or was curious about something I asked for a teacher's support, and received an immediate reply. Third, I attended a weekly non-mandatory webinar: the teachers were extremely professional, gave lots of information, and answered to students’ questions. Thus, I virtually met other students and this was very interesting.
As the acronym TEFL means, the course teaches how to teach English as a foreign language. The TEFL Academy course comprehensively provides all the skills a teacher needs with non-native English: in a monolingual class, a multilingual class, or individual lessons. This particular detail is the focus of the course. It is interesting to learn that as a teacher you must use only English, a foreign language, whatever the students’ level and age. You might think that’s hard with a beginner's class. The TEFL Academy course explains why the teacher must speak English and only English and how s/he makes the students understand what s/he is saying. I learned lots of tricks that helped me teach with fun. Also, I learned many games to use during lessons: my lessons are now exciting and involve my students.
The TEFL Academy course provides teaching materials and shows how to use it. Online materials are also included. A teacher must keep updated and the TEFL Academy course provides references.
As I mentioned, in the online TEFL Academy Level 5 course I appreciated testing my knowledge at the end of each chapter. It was an invitation to review what I had read and already understood. When you pass the end of the chapter test you can move to the next chapter. This method is very appropriate: a teacher must know all teaching aspects and be prepared before any lesson.
The TEFL Academy Course focuses on planning lessons. Accurate planning is the key to a successful lesson. This takes a considerable teacher’s time, especially at the beginning of one’s career. But it is necessary: students will soon feel the teacher’s inadequate planning and preparation, and they will not be able to learn effectively.
Last but not least: the TEFL Academy teachers are professional, experienced, helpful, and wonderful!

This course was exactly what I was looking for. I needed online study to provide me with the knowledge and skills to start TEFL teaching, and this course did that very effectively. The content developed logically, and was clearly presented. I found the level to be appropriate, easing into the topics, but then providing some challenges too. The online support was excellent, with rapid and clear, helpful responses. The three graded assessments were good opportunities to practice the material learned, in a practical way. I was also very impressed by the speed with which I received useful and supportive feedback.

Growing up in a diverse country such as South Africa, exposed me to many different languages, cultures, socio-economic backgrounds and history. As a result I developed a passion to further educate myself about these unique differences of our “rainbow nation”. Though each category of difference was imperative to explore, the eleven national languages of South Africa stood out for me. It made me question English as a medium of instruction in the country and as a universal language.

When I started asking myself these questions, I was taken aback by how many people are required to learn English to embark on their educational and professional endeavours to become successful. This made me curious about the history of English and the influence of the language on other countries. As interesting as my findings were, it still left me with more questions: how non native learners are able to become fluent in the language, how they are able to overcome the various challenges and barriers while learning a new language, and more importantly, how it later impacts their life. Thus, I discovered that the only way to provide myself with these answers is to experience what it would be like to teach a foreigner English.

As a result, I started my TEFL journey with the TEFL Academy. Even though I completed my course online, it equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to teach English as a foreign language. More importantly it taught me that language and culture are two important aspects of the students’ learning process as most of them travel abroad to learn English.

As soon as I finished the course, I applied for jobs in my country and was successful in finding one. When I started teaching, I felt so prepared, excited and driven with passion. Thanks to the unwavering support, guidance and profound yet intensive educational experience from the TEFL Academy, I was able to navigate through my job with ease and in turn answer some of my questions. Additionally, it also sparked an interest in me to travel and teach abroad.

Who knows, maybe in the future, teaching English as a foreign language will be a topic of interest to pursue when I study for my masters degree.

The TEFL Academy offers an outstanding learning journey for anyone looking to start their career in teaching English. The course content is clear, comprehensive, and engaging, covering everything from grammar and lesson planning to classroom management. The flexibility to work at your own pace was perfect for balancing the course with my other commitments. The support team was incredibly responsive and helpful whenever I needed assistance. Overall, it’s a fantastic option for anyone wanting to earn a globally recognized TEFL certification with plenty of practical advice and resources. Highly recommend!
