Pros
  • Able to move to a country you have dreamed to go, and not just earn a living but join a community
Cons
  • It is a tough course. I have a masters degree in medical Anthropology, and a native English speaker, so I assumed I was educated enough, however, I had to work hard.
  • The staff were so helpful. They got back to me, seemingly, without minutes, to lend support

Big up TEFL!

It was a fantastic experience! Super helpful support and always friendly. The 10 hour in person course was a highlight for me. Great guidance and a very fun and effective learning environment. If you get Jennifer Hall as your instructor, then I am very happy for you! Thank you to the TEFL team for making me as ready as I could possibly be for my future as an English teacher! I would recommend this course to anyone who loves teaching / the idea of teaching as this will open up doors of opportunity 10 - fold!

Pros
  • Interactive
  • Fun
  • Effective
Cons
  • It takes time
  • If you are studying English, may have a lot of redundant information.
  • It is a bit costly.

My time/Experience with TEFL Academy

My experience at the TEFL Academy was great because of their top-notch training, staff and resources. They provided detailed and up-to-date information on teaching English as a foreign language that I could immediately use in the classroom. Additionally, their online platform was easy to navigate and learn through, allowing for convenient learning at my own pace. The instructors did a great job of providing helpful feedback and guidance throughout the course so I could feel confident in my teaching skills. They also offered a unique employment support program that helped find potential teaching positions in my area. This made the job hunting process less stressful and gave me the resources and confidence needed to land a teaching job. The staff was always available to help answer any questions and provide needed guidance. The resources, teaching techniques and job support make the TEFL Academy one of the top TEFL courses around and it has made my experience amazing. They are doing an outstanding job providing quality education as well as job preparation and support.

Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Quality
  • Affordability
Cons
  • Time Commitment
  • Limited Support
  • No Interaction with Instructors

The Tefl Academy

I was working in finance where I had no passion, time for travel and experiencing cultures and life.I wanted to pursue a career change however I was reluctant as I would have to study again and I did not think I would have time to do so and worried about risking it all to start again. However The TEFL academy extinguished all those fears,I feel that the academy has made me more than capable to achieve my dreams and goals internationally. I managed to finish while working and I'm ready to be a teacher and confident in my ability to teach and have a new start in life, because of my amazing experience my life partner has started the course and we are both ready to take life in our hands and live our international dreams.

Pros
  • Easy course material
  • Dedicated support team
  • Diverse learning and teaching material
Cons
  • Assignments tends to take longer than expected
  • Grading time is inconsistent
  • More feedback can be given

TEFL Level 5 Incredibly thorough & Very Informative

The TEFL Level 5 course was very thorough and well structured. The sequencing of the units was well planned. The content covered in the course was well thought out and the examples given in each unit were sensible. At the end of each unit was additional resources which were extremely useful for students and these would certainly come in handy for students to use in their TEFL journey. The assignments at the end of unit 5,7 and 10 were pitched at the right level and students would be able to apply the new knowledge acquired to ensure they are able to answer them. I would definitely recommend this course for students that want a course that sets them apart from the rest when it comes to their TEFL career.

Pros
  • Well structured
  • Rigorous
  • Assignments pitched at the right level
Cons
  • More time consuming than initially anticipated

TEFL experience

My experience was amazing as the customer service support and tutors were amazing. I would encourage potential students to do the combined course as the peer-to-peer teaching practice is priceless and has prepared me to teach and boosted my confidence. It feels like a real life teaching scenario so it is very beneficial and I still draw on that experience today and will continue to do so as I venture into teaching English.Try to manage your time well as you will have to pay for extensions if you don’t. Do not hesitate to get in touch with customer support or the tutors as they are very helpful.

Pros
  • Easy to understand
  • Great support
  • Online system is sufficient
Cons
  • May take longer to finish course
  • Paying for extensions
  • Not balancing life and course
