Instructor-led Online TEFL Course

As someone who has teaching experience but not experience teaching English, I found that this course was a great opportunity to learn about what it's like to teach English abroad. There are videos of classroom sessions which are great examples, and you can practice writing lesson plans with detailed and timely feedback from the instructors. You can also revise the lesson plans you submit based on instructor feedback.

This course is a bit more expensive than some 120-hour online TEFL courses, but it seems more thorough than average, from what I researched. This company also helps with document legalization, which is rare for TEFL companies, and a major help if you're going to China. The course is mainly focused on teaching children, but there's lots of helpful teaching theory relevant to any age group. I was able to finish the course in a little under a week, but I made it my main focus. The exams are low-pressure because you can download the readings and reference them as you take the exams.

I loved the class videos which gave me more practical knowledge about lesson planning and classroom management. I liked that each chapter were set in different ways carrying over learning material which didn't make it boring at all. Its excellent to be able to download the videos and chapters for future reference, which i will definitely use! The review questions at the end of each chapter definitely helped to be less anxious about the final test. To be able to login and logout and still take off where you've left, is very good especially to be focused and not to be forced to finish everything at once. The instructions were very clear and the videos were great examples. The feedback regarding your lesson plans is well constructed and easy to understand and use. The support team from the program is very efficient and constructive

I am an ESL teacher in China who completed this TEFL course the summer before I moved to China to begin my new teaching job. This course was very convenient as I had been living in a different country and was already preparing to move to China when I needed to take this course, and I recommend it for teachers in a similar "transition period" situation who may not have the time or funds to complete an extended in-person TEFL course.

I found the course convenient, useful, and well-maintained. It was a good choice for me as I prepared to make the move to China to teach and needed to clearly document my qualification for my job. The course material is practical, and there was an appropriate amount of material for someone like me looking to pick up a qualification quickly but also earn a real, useful qualification.

I found the teacher link very easy to use. The course has a lot of supporting videos which assists a candidate by giving them a clearer sense of what to expect when they teach abroad. The layout of the chapters through the course gives you a good sense of progression, and this allows you to map out for yourself how you wish to proceed. The quizzes after each chapter allow you to acknowledge your progress, and serve well to test your knowledge on the chapter completed. Overall, the course flows really well and is very thorough. If need be, support from staff is also available. This course has been a very positive experience, and has shared a lot with me. Thank you to Ginger, for all the support and feedback given to me during the course. I really appreciated it.

Ali did a wonderful job with providing me with information at every step and making sure I was feeling comfortable with the process. I wouldn't have received my job offer if it wasn't for Teaching Nomad, they made the process so much easier and I felt reassured in the schools I was applying to. The job that I received was from a government school and Ali always made sure my questions were answered and if I felt like something was not right, she would always be willing to provide me with more information.

I also took the TEFL course which was useful in some aspects as I did learn much about teaching but for me, the presentations and videos made the course as interactive as possible and for the price, it is a very good course.

I would definitely advise using Teaching Nomad to anyone who wants to teach in China. It will make the process so much easier.

The course was very informative, inspiring and insightful. It stimulated my intellect and shaped my role as an educator. I now have knowledge about classroom management. I gained vast knowledge about learning theories and how to incorporate the elements from different theories into my lesson plan.

The TEFL course provided insightful information about the role of the teacher as a manager, organiser, motivator, facilitator, tutor and co learner. These different roles illustrate how the teacher is the number one instrument to learners and how each role is vital in their learning process. I loved watching the videos as it provided me with guide lines . I loved how the children interacted with their peers and how open they were to speaking English and they respected the no Chinese rule. Most of the activities enhanced communication in real social contexts.

I enjoyed this course. It was challenging, yet doable. The information presented was clear, and I was able to test my understanding through quizzes. I was given practical experience through creating my own lesson plans. There was adequate information available to help me do this. The course provided videos and sample lesson plans and really helped me understand how to go into an ESL classroom and know what I'm doing! The assessment portions were very helpful, and having the chance to analyze classes taught by other teachers was invaluable. I was able to determine approaches and methods I could incorporate into my own teaching. The price is right, especially as they help with the document authentication process. Overall, I recommend the course and you will learn a lot from it.

I signed up for the 120 Online TEFL course through Teaching Nomad. The online course was very helpful, the outline was easy to follow, easy to understand and informative. It was interesting to learn, the reading material was straight forward and helpful in understanding what it takes to teach in a different country. I really enjoyed the course and feel confident that I can be able to teach English.

The videos that were on the website were helpful with seeing what it is actually like to teach students. The video content spoke to what the course was speaking about. Seeing how the students were in class gave one an understanding as to what to expect when they are to get an opportunity to teach.

Oliver Gorman was the recruiter who helped me with my process. He always had time to assist and answer questions. I have been offered a position at a school and look forward to what is ahead.
