Great experience

I was able to learn a lot from The TEFL Academy and I have already received students online so it is an amazing opportunity the course is very informative and I feel well-equipped to be able to teach.

The academy was very helpful and the site was easy to navigate. I am extremely excited to see what doors this has opened for me and I am busy looking at going overseas to teach and this has made it possible for me. Being able to travel and do what I love has always been a dream of mine but this has made it possible.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve wracking moment waa meeting my first student
Pros

L Spangenberg Combined level 5 course

I absolutely love this course as a teacher! It gave me so much insight into vocabulary as well as new ideas on games I can use in my classroom! It gave me new strategies. I'm super excited to apply everything I've learned to my classroom!

This course really broadened my knowledge. The course touched on a lot of areas that I was unsure about and didn't know how to approach. I really left with more knowledge. I loved every moment of this course! It's worthwhile. I would recommend this to teachers.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The lady presenting the course, presented a Chinese lesson! It was absolutely fascinating.
Pros
  • Learning new things
  • Growing as a teacher
  • Meeting new people

TTA level 5 online course

The TEFL Academy provides an excellent course for people who want to teach English as a foreign language. My experience with their course was very positive. It was well-designed, easy to follow, and gave me all the tools I needed to feel confident as an English teacher. I believe this course is a great choice for anyone looking to start a career in teaching English, whether online or in a classroom.

One of the best things about the TEFL Academy course is its flexibility. The course did not feel too long or rushed, which was very important to me. I could study at my own pace, which made it much easier to fit into my schedule. If I was busy one week, I could pause my studies and come back to it later without feeling stressed. This flexibility was one of the main reasons I enjoyed the course so much. It made the whole learning process more relaxed and enjoyable.

The course material was also very well-structured. Each module was clear and easy to understand. The lessons were broken into small, manageable sections, so I never felt overwhelmed. The content covered everything I needed to know, including grammar, lesson planning, and how to teach different age groups. It gave me a good foundation in teaching English, and I felt more confident as I progressed through the course.

Another great thing about the TEFL Academy course was the feedback. The tutors provided detailed and helpful comments on my assignments. Their feedback was not only encouraging but also helped me improve. If I made a mistake, they explained it clearly and gave me tips on how to do better next time. This personalized support made me feel like I was not alone in my learning journey.

The course was also surprisingly easy to follow. Although I was learning a lot of new things, it never felt too difficult. The explanations were simple, and the examples were clear. I think this is one of the reasons the course was so enjoyable. It made me feel like I could really do this, even though I had no prior teaching experience.

What I also appreciated was the balance between theory and practice. The course did not just focus on theory but also gave practical advice and activities. For example, I learned how to create fun and engaging lessons, which is something I know I will use in the future. The activities were interesting and helped me see how I could apply what I learned in real-life teaching

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
make sure to travel no matter how scared you may be.

TEFL course was excellent

I recently completed my Level 5 TEFL course, and it was one of the best investments ever! The material you have to cover and complete is extensive, and challenging. Although not easy, you are provided with everything you need in order to succeed. Without a doubt it will prepare you for teaching English as a foreign language - whether it be online or in person. And it has already opened up new doors for me. Excited for the new chapter in my life, thanks to TEFL. Would highly recommend to anyone ready to explore the world of teaching English.

TEFL Course

I enjoyed this course and found it set up very well. The resources given are extremely good and will help me in the future. I also find that it was priced so well for all the information I was taught and the resources that I was given. The assignments were quite hard for me to get because I would procrastinate a lot but I did enjoy them because they were structured very well which helped me to complete them. I enjoyed the little quizzes within the learning and it helped me to retain knowledge. The in-person course was also very good and helped me learn from an experienced teacher in this field

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
When I was moving overseas and had to extend the course because I didn’t have enough time to finish it with university and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to finish the course in time after that.
Pros
  • Structured
  • Resources
  • Teachers
Cons
  • Procrastination
  • Time-consuming
  • Stress

My experience with TTA

I had the best experience studying with The TEFL Academy. There was a lot of assistance, when I logged a ticket they would get back to me within minutes. I can not wait to start teaching. I am so excited to see what adventures I will embark on. I am very excited to make a difference in the world through teaching. Education is very important to me and I feel very honored to be able to teach and educate others. I will also make use of my knowledge in teaching my 1-year-old daughter who stays at home with me.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would take everything one step at a time and not over thing everything as much.
Pros
  • I learned a lot
  • I enjoyed my experience

A Fantastic TEFL Course for Future Teachers!

I recently completed the Level 3 TEFL course with The TEFL Academy and had a great experience. The course was well-structured, and the interface was easy to navigate. The assignment feedback was detailed and helpful. I enjoyed the engaging modules, and the quizzes reinforced my learning. I feel more confident in my ability to teach, especially with the new strategies for teaching children. The resources provided were also very useful. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to teach abroad.
