TEFL Academy Review

This was a great course and I have no regrets partaking. I was concerned at first due to the fact that I do not have a teaching degree. However, the well designed curriculum was easy to follow. The course, especially the assignments, were challenging but definitely worth it. The step by step advice and how to proceed through assignments was extremely helpful. I enjoyed this course as I was able to work at my own pace which is great for anyone who is working and studying and childrearing. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to teach English. Finally my deciding factor for this particular TEFL course is that is is the only one certified in both USA and UK. This was an added bonus for me.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would say time management and sticking to a schedule. Also read everything! It helps with the assignments!

Level 5 168hours

I enjoyed the course very much. It was a lot of content but absolutely doable. The content was adequate and it covered everything I needed to know to start teaching as a English Teacher. I initially thought the assignments to be daunting since I knew nothing about teaching, but when I started working on it step by step and referred back to the course material, I found that it was achievable. The course helped me immensely as I started teaching straight away. I knew how to plan lessons and how to plan my time accordingly. The support was good and the feedback prompt. I would recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone who’d like to teach English as a foreign language.

The TEFL Academy: First Choice Online

The TEFL Academy offers an extensive 168 hour online TEFL course preparing graduates to teach English away or online. Especially during a pandemic, online options are incredibly helpful, and I was quickly able to find and vet the program through online research. I believe this course held up to its reviews and promised quality, and I feel I am now prepared to begin my teaching journey. A combination of self-study, interactive activities and practical lesson planning assignments come together to create a very thorough and information-rich course. Highly recommend!

Great TEFL course!

If you are looking for an online TEFL course this is the course for you! I did my research and this is the one that grabbed my attention and I am glad. The course is really laid out nicely and it is great value for your money. I learnt a lot through the different exercises and assignments. The platform is easy to use and it covers a lot of topics. The content is engaging and you will feel confident once you complete it. If you want to travel and adventure it definitely sets you up for teaching abroad :)

Opinion about TEFL Academy

I found TEFL Academy via Facebook ads. After checking from different websites and recommendation about whether it is valid website to study, I registered and begin the course.

Throughout the course, I found out that it is a great platform with very nice support when needed and the price is really affordable. Definitely a perfect website to recommend for people that are looking to study TEFL.

Myself completed the program and looking forward to begin my journey with this certificate and exploring the world in the same time!!

Review on my experience with The TEFL Academy

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience of learning through the TEFL Academy! I felt that this course was very organized and that the layout was simple and easy to navigate. I can see the relevance of every unit that was completed and also really enjoyed the variety and difficulty levels of the assignments. I felt that all the assignments reflected an appropriate level of difficulty that could be expected when becoming an online teacher. I also definitely felt that doing this course is an absolute necessity when wanting to become an online/off-line teacher if one does not have a background in teaching, as it teaches a lot of teaching-specific jargon and skills when handling students.

What would you improve about this program?
My only constructive criticism would be to be able to make the content accessible through PowerPoint or in the form of a PDF document to make the note-taking process easier.

Best course ever

This was the best course ever. It covered an array of topics to fully understand the teaching world. The tests and assignments were challenging at times, yet I learnt so much. This course pushed me to my limits as it was a completely new terrain, however it’s the push we all need. The knowledge gained personally and professionally is amazing. You see things in a new light, from teaching to conversing with others. I am so grateful I had this opportunity and wouldn’t change it for anything. This is the only course you need. It’s the best!!!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Time management is key. Ensure you give yourself extra time for assignments so you don’t rush.

Best LEVEL 5 TEFL Course online

As I was looking for something affordable but LEVEL 5 being myself a modest working class guy, I started patiently comparing all the options available. Of course there were those attractive CELTA or TRINITY idyllic and luxurious offers that seem to be conceived for the privileged and fortunate, but if I had that money to go spending on such courses I would be financially buoyant and go on holidays! So, with that in mind, I come across The TEFL Academy. I saw the price and said to myself, wait a minute, you are kidding me. There must be some kind of trick here. I took the time to double check and couldn't find any flaws in what was advertised so I decided to take the chance and go for it, with my budget. I didn't know much about teaching but I have a degree in English philology so it wasn't that hard to find out that these people meant business and were good at it. And thank God I started the course. It was worth each and every penny.

To be frank, I didn't need all those long hours of personal tutoring advertised elsewhere. I needed just what this course offered me, content. A well structured and fully functional online course that covered almost all there is to it in teaching English as a foreign language with the latest in the world of education and adapted to the new technologies. If possible, I wanted them to administer all this in small doses that I could adapt to my everyday stress. Well, they give you 6 months for that and all sorts of solutions so you see the light at the end of the tunnel and you get your beloved certificate with good grades. There was not a single day that I felt my money was squandered. I received support and I learned a lot. That mid term activity was hard but I have the satisfaction of accomplishing something valuable. I thank the academy for such a nice job and I fully recommend it.

What would you improve about this program?
I would add more options to go online and share with other students of the same course. There is a whole world of online possibilities coming our way so anything in that line of work would be great.
