An amazing TEFL course + personalised experience + teaching opportunities provided

Apr 15, 2021

I am so glad that I chose to complete my TEFL course with Premier Tefl. The course is in-depth and I completed it having felt like I learnt a lot about teaching English as a foreign langauge. The course kept me engaged because of the videos, podcast and friendly language used throughout. All of the staff are friendly and eager to provide students with support both during and after the course. I really like that Premier TEFL offers English teaching internships around the world, the opportunities that my TEFL certificate and Premier TEFL have given me are endless! I highly recommend doing a TEFL certificate with this company!

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly can't think of anything I would improve about the TEFL course I completed.

Premier TEFL is the way to go

Jun 22, 2020

The coursework is engaging and direct. I found the interface very accessible and there is a wealth of videos available for support on using the website. I really appreciated the technical support from the team. Aiveen was so quick to help me with any issue I presented and Sandra was excellent as well. All staff are kind and happy to offer support. Having seen other TEFL services used by friends and colleagues, I can assert that Premier TEFL is the most simplistic and effective. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to travel and teac

A high-detailed course with a nice balance of theoretical and practical knowledge

Jun 16, 2020

The course was quite engaging and resourceful. I enjoyed a nice balance between the theory and practice of teaching.
It provided necessary information and knowledge on how to conduct a successful class with different types of students.
The UI was quite very user-friendly and clear, the information was easily accessible at every moment and it was possible to navigate easily throughout the course.
Customer support was excellent, I got a prompt reply to each of my requests for help and they helped me successfully every time.
Overall, I would recommend them to anyone.

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps the tests/ quizzes could be a bit more difficult. Perhaps, you could make questions more random when it comes to retaking the test.

TEFL certification

May 28, 2020

Premier TEFL has helped me to efficiently acquire a TEFL certificate. The materials are available at all times, from any device, making it easy to choose pace and fit the course around my schedule and lifestyle. Each lesson contains valuable advice, practical examples, reflection prompts to assist in applying knowledge in your own life, useful exercises to reinforce learning and user-friendly tests that check your understanding. Modules end with supportive and uplifting messages and quotes which add charm and inspiration to learning. People in Premier TEFL are clearly passionate about language, teaching, gaining new experience and making sure this is done in a high quality way. A personal tutor is available for help with the study materials, students get two useful eBooks and there are a lot of additional resources available for reference. Despite this being a remote online course, Premier TEFL has managed to convey a sense of individualised approach, warmth and support, all with a healthy dose of humour and wit, making the experience that much more enjoyable. Give it a go, you won't regret it! :)

Premier TEFL Review

May 20, 2020

The team at Premier TEFL are beyond helpful. I was put in contact with Ameerah. I had experienced several personal issues that meant I had been unable to complete the course. I was very nervous that I would be told I would have to pay all over again. However, Premier TEFL were unlike other companies, and they really showed that they valued everyone they speak to. I was given the chance to continue to course without having to pay again. The course itself it very informative, and the modules are well structured and orderly. Once I have completed the course I know I will be ready to teach English to a great standard.
A genuinely lovely company of a great standard.

What would you improve about this program?
I would perhaps make some of the modules a little more concise as it could at times be overwhelming. However, I also think this is what makes it a great course as it is very in depth and is necessary to prepare us as English teachers.

Informative

Apr 17, 2020

I must say Premier TEFL was a great experience. I especially liked how the video portion corresponded with the material. The course was easy to maneuver and comprehend. Premier covers all aspects of classroom/online teaching. You will actually put yourself in the learner's place. Premier causes you to realize how it feels to learn a foreign language. With that being said, you'll be able to teach with compassion and patience.
I would recommend Premier TEFL to anyone seeking excellent certification.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Why did you choose this program?

I chose to complete my TEFL certificate with Premier Tefl because I knew it was the first thing I needed to start teaching English online. I wanted to choose a company that had courseware that would actually prep me for my new career, which is what I got with this company. Not only that, Premier Tefl provides so much support and guidance to their students. I received a stellar course and wonderful support from the team that made the transition into online teaching so much easier than I expected.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

Premier Tefl was an incredible company to complete my 120hr TEFL certificate through. Correspondance with their team was always easy and they provided so much support throughout the course. The course itself was great! I actually felt like I was learning the necessary tools to become an ESL teacher. The software was easy to navigate and the course was engaging from start to finish. I completed my certificate feeling as though I was really ready to start teaching ESL students.

The only thing you have to organise on your own is actually completing the course!

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

If you're thinking about getting your TEFL certificate and completing a Premier Tefl course, I would highly recommend getting yourself a small notebook to write down what you're learning. The courseware is very informative and educational. The new knowledge that I obtained, I was able to retain and use in real-life ESL teaching because I wrote things down as I was studying them.

I would also recommend seeking the help of the staff for any query you may have whether that's in relation to the course itself or the opportunities that having a TEFL certificate can provide you with. The whole team is really supportive and helpful!

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

You can complete your TEFL certificate at your own pace with Premier TEFL. If you want to study the course quickly, it is possible to do so! I wanted to complete the course quickly so that I could start my new career as an online ESL teacher as soon as possible. I studied for at least a few hours every day until I completed it. However, you have that flexibility, so it really depends on your individual situation. I would recommend putting some time into it every day so that the knowledge you're learning remains fresh in your mind and you can start your career as an ESL teacher sooner.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

I think my biggest fear starting my career as an ESL teacher was whether I could retain students and make a lasting career out of having my TEFL. I realised pretty quickly that I had a passion for teaching English as a foreign language and I was equipped with the knowledge to do so thanks to Premier TEFL. Honestly, I am so glad I got my TEFL and made the change in my career, I now have a ton of amazing students who I get to teach daily, I really didn't need to have that fear.

What advice would you give to future TEFL teachers?

Just do it! As cliche as that may sound, having a TEFL certificate has opened up so many doors for me. I can now fulfill my passion for travel, while at the same time working a job that I am very passionate about. It is so rewarding to see my students improve their skills in every class and to make strong connections with them and their families.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Snorkeling in the Caribbean is certainly on top of the list and jumping down a waterfall in the Amazon rainforest in Venezuela.

I went for an evening walk through a small village in Italy with friends and in the middle of nowhere, the was an old ruin which must have been a small amphitheatre at some stage. Locals had brought food and there was a band playing, it turned out to be one of the most magical nights ever. We ate, drank and danced through the night.

I have so many great memories of the amazing friendliness of people met across the globe who made me feel at home.

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

I love providing our customers with the best customer service that I often wish I would receive myself. I feel we are very different and really care about every single person who gets in touch with us.

I always loved to travel and have visited more than 30 countries, it is so great to share my experience with others and meet like-minded people every day!

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

I love hearing from everyone but was most impressed with a student who completed our course and found her calling teaching in an orphanage in Costa Rica and decided to turn her life around at the age of 58 years, amazing, isn't it!!! It certainly proves that you are never too old!! Do not dare not to dare (C.S. Lewis)!!

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

This is a very tricky question, they are all great! If I would have to pick one it would be our program in Argentina Buenos Aires. Most of all because Argentina is still high up on my travel list and I know how well our partners are looking after everyone.

Patagonia is still a big dream of mine and I can't wait to go someday!

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

We are all working great together and are looking after each other very well. There is always someone willing to help with tasks and you always feel supported. We have a very healthy atmosphere in the office and it is fun too ;-)

It is the best feeling to go to work every day and look forward to it!

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

It is definitely our can-do attitude and that spreads over all departments. I feel so lucky to be a part of Premier TEFL, we work in this great team and we all really love what we are doing. We are all curious to hear from our teachers and get excited about their achievements and are with them all along the way and after ;-)
