World TESOL Academy's Review

Hesitant at first, I found the course quite informative. What I liked the most is that the course proceeds very methodically and is well-organized that its suits even the busiest of people. While the course doesn't dig very deep into pedagogy, it serves as a perfect introductory course to anyone seeking to get the hang of ESL and get prepared to start their teaching adventure. Another major highlight that I found particularly interesting is that the course is a good blend of theoretical and practical insights (Apart from insightful pieces of advice, you’ll be watching teachers performing in real classroom situations). The platform is straightforward and user-friendly. I also liked the quizzes. Though hard, but they serve the good purpose of keeping you attentive and motivated while scrolling down through the course so that you score high. In the meanwhile, it helps reinforce your newly acquired knowledge.

Even more interesting is the fact that I have received a globally-recognized Tesol Certificate that I can add to my repertoire of qualifications and can take advantage of to boost my CV while I apply to Teaching positions. OH! YES! If You’re interested in an Oline teaching position, this course also gives you a comprehensive introduction with insightful advice on how to get prepared.

Honestly, I believe the course is more than worth its price! It’s a good investment. And, if you manage to convince anyone to join the course via your personal link, you will get some refund. It is all WIN.

Pros
  • It is comprehensive
  • Very flexible in terms of time (quizzes as well)
  • Internationally Accredited Certification
Cons
  • There is no hands-on experience (if you're expecting any)
  • Requires self-motivation and Self-discipline
  • Might not be very interesting to those experienced teachers seeking advanced knowledge

120-hour TEFL/ TESOL Course Honest Review

I recently completed a TESOL certification course, and it was an incredible experience! The program was well-structured, covering everything from teaching methodologies to classroom management and lesson planning. The modules on grammar, speaking, and cultural sensitivity were particularly insightful and practical for real-world teaching.

The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and always available to answer questions. I also appreciated the hands-on practice, where we had opportunities to create and deliver lessons during the course. It gave me the confidence I needed to step into a classroom, whether online or abroad.

Overall, the TESOL course was a valuable investment. It not only boosted my teaching skills but also opened up many career opportunities. I highly recommend this program to anyone passionate about teaching English and exploring new cultures!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I were to do this all over again, I would focus on managing my time more effectively during the course. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed with assignments and balancing other responsibilities, and a better schedule could have helped.

Additionally, I’d try to seek out more opportunities to practice teaching sooner, such as volunteering or joining peer teaching groups. Gaining more hands-on experience while studying could have deepened my understanding and confidence.

That said, I’m grateful for the journey as it taught me the importance of adapting and growing. These lessons are just as valuable as the course content itself!

Pros
  • Global job opportunities
  • Career flexibility (schools, language centers, online)
  • Increased earning potential
Cons
  • Cost of certification programs
  • Time commitment to complete the course
  • Competitive job markets in some countries

TESOL Certificate: Easily Accessible and Luckily Affordable

It was a great learning experience to undergo such lessons in my TESOL journey. I am an English major graduate, so much of the lessons were more likely a review on my part. Still, my mind was refreshed of topics that I learned when I was a student and it was really fun. The course was accessible and engaging, and I would recommend everyone planning to work overseas to enroll and get this course. With all things mentioned, I would also like to note that it is affordable. I got lucky when they had a discount when I enrolled :)

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Answer the course diligently for every topic is useful when working overseas. May your future plans come true!
Pros
  • Easy to answer
  • Stimulated a room for analysis in the assessment part
  • Every lesson is helpful and relevant to teachers
Cons
  • Topics mostly focused on educating young learners

A Transformative Journey with World TESOL Academy

My experience with the World TESOL Academy was truly unique and transformative. Unlike other certification programs, this academy offered a blend of accessibility, flexibility, and depth, which made my journey into becoming an ESL teacher both enriching and practical.

What stood out most was the curriculum’s focus on real-world application. The lessons were not just theoretical; they provided actionable strategies for classroom management, lesson planning, and cultural sensitivity (key skills that are indispensable for an ESL teacher). The online format allowed me to learn at my own pace, but it didn’t compromise on quality. The interactive modules, quizzes, and assignments pushed me to think critically and apply my learning immediately.

Future participants should know that while the program is convenient, it requires dedication and self-motivation. To get the most out of it, immerse yourself fully—take notes, and practice the techniques they teach. Additionally, the academy offers lifetime access to course materials, which is a treasure trove for ongoing development as an educator.

What made my experience particularly special was the global perspective I gained. The program emphasizes understanding the diverse backgrounds of ESL learners, preparing you to teach in any corner of the world with confidence and empathy.

If you’re considering the World TESOL Academy, go for it! It’s not just a certification; it’s a gateway to a fulfilling career in teaching English as a second language.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Uncertainty about whether I’ll succeed in completing the course and applying the skills effectively in real-world classrooms. This fear stems from doubts about my teaching abilities, language proficiency, or understanding of the course content.

Breaking the process down into manageable parts, like completing the enrollment and starting the first module without worrying about the entire course helped me stay focused.
In addition, staying motivated; Kept reminding me of my reasons for pursuing the certification, such as career growth or the opportunity to teach globally.
Pros
  • Affordable and Accessible: The program is cost-effective.
  • Fully online delivery makes it accessible to people worldwide, allowing flexible learning at your own pace.
  • Comprehensive Curriculum: Covers key areas like lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching methodologies
Cons
  • Limited Interactive Features: Lacks live teaching practice or real-time feedback from instructor
  • Generalized Content: The material can feel broad or surface-level, which might not be sufficient for those seeking in-depth expertise or advanced specialization.

Excellent!

I have had wonderful time studying through the TESOL course. The whole course was laid out in a highly compact and comprehensible manner. The language of the course, and examples made the experience of learning very lucid. Especially, the video aids have helped a lot in understanding the concept in a straightforward way. I intend to do a TEYL course as well. Thank you so much for a such fantastic learning experience! I would definitely recommend the course to aspiring teachers and friends who want to make a difference through education.

It's more than worth it

I appreciated that each chapter was short, allowing for an engaging pace that didn’t feel tedious. I believe this program offers exceptional value for its cost. It’s very well-structured, and the content is systematically developed. Another major advantage is being able to complete it online in a short amount of time. However, it’s unfortunate that there isn’t an opportunity to practice actual lessons. Thank you for providing such a great program at such an affordable cost. It was a great experience!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would make my own notes and keep it. Then I would use it for preparing my real classes.
Pros
  • Well organized content
  • Short chapters
  • Online format
Cons
  • No actual practice

Comprehensive and Engaging

A powerful course. Fun and interesting program. Rigorous. I interacted with the materials very well. Rekindled my love for the English language as it took me back to my primary school days of learning English as a home language. I enjoy the quiz-style, multiple-choice style of questioning. I needed this certification to build my skills, and to make myself more marketable to prospective employers. Emphasized the most important aspects of teaching English as a Second Language, both online and in-person. Bravo!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Pace yourself, make notes, and review those notes before taking the exam.
Pros
  • Learnt so much
  • Building skills that I get to take with me everywhere I go, and skills transferrable to most industries
Cons
  • None which I know of at this point.

World TESOL Academy - 120 Hr TESOL - Relevant & Quality Course

Firstly, I only provide honest reviews :)

I have no teaching background at all, but pleasingly, this course feels complete.
It is mostly succinct, relevant and in a logical order.

Albeit me being a native speaker, I found learning grammar correctly a challenge.
Nevertheless, World TESOL walks you through and provides good examples.

I also really enjoyed some of the videos with teacher Jay and the young learners. It was easy to see the kids enthusiasm under the guidance of Jay!

I found the online teaching component had some good ideas that I hadn't really thought about. Additionally, some great tips on what recruiters are looking for and how best to present a demo to them.

Lastly, I had what I thought was a system error. As frustrating as it was, Heather came on line, investigated the cause and updated me in a timely fashion.

In summary, I was pleasantly surprised with the coverage and quality of the course and its value. Accordingly, I recommend this to course to you.

Best of luck on your endeavors!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I thought I could eat most foods - then I came to Vietnam.
At a family gathering I was 'honoured' to be given the pig's umbilical cord.
Tasty it was not :(
Pros
  • Complete course, including online teaching.
  • Logical order, succinct, good tips for practical teaching.
  • Good value.
Cons
  • Minor - I unsubscribed from 'marketing emails', but did not realise this unsubscribed me from 'all emails' ... meaning I missed my subscription end date and had to pay an extra fee to enrol for lifetime access.
