TEFL academy review

My experience in the TEFL Academy was more than wonderful, doing the course at my own pace was great as the course did not get in the way of our busy everyday lives as individuals with responsibilities. Tefl academy helped me to achieve my level 5 168-hour TEFL certificate from South Africa, whereas I would like to teach online and gain experience to go overseas.

I am also finishing my undergrad degree and working full time as a teacher assistant as well as being a teacher; my life is busy, but somehow, due to the convenience of TEFL Academy, I got my certificate.

What was your funniest moment?
The best part of the program was attending the 10 hour in person training
It was really fun and I loved meeting new people

  • Exciting

The course is incredibly flexible, allowing you to study at your own pace and fit learning into your busy schedule. The dedicated tutor team is always available to provide help and support, making the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Now that i have completed the course i can work from the comfort of my home and earn. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get TEFL qualified! Invest in your future.

Great all round experience

Very comprehensive course, however, some of the material is rather technical. I loved the very comprehensive feedback on all the assignments. Very responsive student and admin support teams. Highly recommend this course especially if you don't have a teaching degree. It's practical, hands-on material enables you to hit the ground running in your teaching career! Challenged my brain to think outside the box at times, big challenge at my age. Excellent experience overall! Highly recommended, be prepared to work hard.

What was your funniest moment?
I sent student support an enquiry about one of the assignments. As I hit send I realised the answer was staring at me in my face! Needless to say, I was red-faced when the tutor responded! It was just a senior moment! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Pros
  • Comprehensive course material - helps build a solid foundation for teaching.
  • Flexible - online learning helps to juggle other responsibilities
  • Excellent Support: tutors are responsive and highly knowledgeable. Detailed feedback on assignments, which really helps in developing your skills.
Cons
  • Workload - was feel overwhelming at times, if you're not used to a lot of self-study or if you're juggling other responsibilities.
  • No interaction with peers - lack of in-person interaction may not be ideal for those who thrive in human contact environment.
  • Cost to apply for an extension, quite high.

TEFL Online Review for Assistance

I had a lack of confidence at first when starting my TEFL at the TEFL Academy.

They usually say online you would have support but the institution fails to do so however I can't say the same with the TEFL Academy. Their level of standard is high and they are always willing to make your journey easy as a student.

The amount of feedback you get as a student supports you by correcting any errors. If I don't know anything I have just been taught feel free to message your tutor they are the best and will help you with any question.

What was your funniest moment?
When I submitted assigment c but missed out on a document she kindly reminded me and I had a great laugh about it because of the well constructed feedback she gave me and I did not fail the assignment.
Pros
  • Establish Better Vocab
  • Establish Confidence
  • Engaging with people around the world

Level 5 TEFLacademy Qualification

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I got a fright when I submitted my first assignment and it took 3 weeks for me to get my results, and once contacting the TEFL academy, a very nice lady helped me almost immediately and apologised as the tutor had marked my assignment but forgot to release the results, I thought this was a funny accident and didn’t make a big fuss about it, but then they gave me a 3 week extension for the course due to the inconvenience. I was very impressed!
Pros
  • Easy to navigate
  • On-the-go access
  • You can leave the assignments for another day when you’ve got more time
Cons
  • 6 months feels very short for 10 modules
  • No WiFi means you can access your modules
  • I honestly can’t think of more cons
