Review by Krista, July 1, 2010
I did the Tefl Worldwide program this year and it was great! it is definitely an intense 4 weeks, but you learn so much! tThe main instructor is awesome and all of his teaching methods really help you to become a confident teacher. I met great people from all over the world and now live with 3 girls from my program! I got hired at one of the largest local language schools here in Prague before I even finished the course. They staff at TEFL Worldwide helped me to prepare for the interview with the school and I got hired on the spot. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an exciting and new opportunity to work and live abroad. If you have any questions, let me know! I would be more than happy to give more insight!
Review by Ginny, July 8, 2010
I did the TEFL Worldwide Prague program back in 2006 and I STILL love talking about the wonderful things it did for me. The four weeks I spent in the program were some of the most memorable ones out of the year and a half I lived in Prague. The instrtuction, hands on teaching experience and the simple comfort of having a community there in Prague waiting for you were all WELL worth the money. Because I got my TEFL certiciate through TEFL Worldwide Prague I got to live and teach in Prague, South Korea, Peru and Spain! Even four years later I am still close with the people I met in that four week program. It was such a special experience that I will never ever forget. Awesome accomodations, engaging instruction and a beautiful, magical city to learn in…what could be better?! I highly recommend this program to anyone who is seeking a legitimate program that actually cares about its students. All the TEFL Worldwide teachers I know are competent teachers who are full of amazing stories from their time in the program. You can’t go wrong with this one…you should feel lucky you found it!
Review by Bill, July 31, 2010
I was in the TEFL Worldwide Prague class in September of 2009, and had the most marvelous experience. I have absolutely no regrets about my choice. The classes and instructors were extremely helpful and every minute of instruction and preparation was meaningful. I could not have hoped for better instructors, and the school was very caring about all of us. My certification opened doors for me that were above my expectations. I have already worked at a school in the Czech Republic, and have offers in Barcelona, Poland, Germany, Turkey, and several other places where I am interested in teaching . In just four weeks of the class, I met some great people, including a number of Czech citizens, with whom I maintain contact. I’ve examined a lot of programs, but I’ll never regret my decision to take the course at TEFL Worldwide Prague. The instruction I received remains with me as I plan my lessons, and one cannot study at a place that has a better background than the city of Prague. For those people who hope to be able to teach TEFL around the world, you need to learn from the best, and the school has a worldwide reputation that cannot be matched by any other school. This means that doors wil be opened to you that were unexpected by you. This is the program that seems to excel above all others, and is a choice that you will never regret.
Review by Erin, July 31, 2010
I just finished TEFL worldwide Prague on June 25th and let me tell you, it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had the pleasure of being apart of. The trainers made the course interesting and exciting, all while teaching you so much new information! Don’t get me wrong, it was one of the toughest four weeks of my life, but I came out a better and more experienced person. I got hired at one of Prague’s biggest language schools three days after I graduated and haven’t regretted a day of my training yet. The teacher trainers (terry and dan) give you some of the most useful tools you will ever need. Even if you take this course and decide not to stay in Prague and teach, your skills that you take away will be some of the most useful tools you get. I advise anyone that is even considering taking this course to do it. I promise, you will not regret it one bit!!
Review by Felix Schniz, August 2, 2010
The time at TEFL Worldwide was, as far as I can tell, a vital step to improve my career prospects as a tutor/lecturer and a beneficial program in general.
The course taught me a great variety of methods to tackle all imaginable situations one might face as a teacher. The provided opportunity to teach in an actual Czech language class gave me the security to apply everything that I learned for the best effect. The input given by the dedicated and helpful staff and TEFL-instructors has helped me ever since; the notes about grammar, phonetics and education are by far the most concise guidelines I received in my whole academic career and I use them for private repetition on a regular basis.
In my opinion, the program only had one minor issue. It may be not a definite point of criticism about the course but it should be mentioned that participants will most likely have to bring quite some extra cash to Prague. Classes can of course be held with a minimum of materials, but if you want to prepare and execute a diverse set of methods while teaching, you will definitely need to buy colored markers/paper/foil for an overhead projector and so on and so forth in order to do a top notch job. This, however, was just a minor setback in an otherwise great opportunity for avid language teachers to improve.
While I cannot comment on job placement right now, as I went back to university after the TEFL program and have only given one-on-one lessons since, I can assure you that out of the people who completed the program with me, everybody who immediately wanted to find a job as a language teacher has been able to find one within a few weeks.
TEFL Worldwide Prague definitely has much to offer and gives a great insight in how to improve one’s own teaching skills.
Review by Carly H, August 5, 2010
I would definitely recommend TEFL Worldwide to anyone – I had a great experience there. Terry, the instructor, is just all-around an incredible teacher, and I felt 100% prepared to start teaching after four weeks learning from him. The course is also really well-structured, with teaching practice with Czech students built into the schedule.
TEFL Worldwide has a great reputation among language schools in the city, which is really important for jobsearching. We had a job fair on the last day of the class where different schools did presentations and we could leave our CVs with their reps, and I was contacted only a few days after graduation for an interview and had a job within about 9 days of finishing the class.
Additionally, leading up to the course, during it, and after it, the staff at TEFL was incredibly helpful. They have answered countless questions for me regarding every part of the TEFL experience and the move to Prague, and even months after graduating, they still frequently send me e-mails with both short and long-term job opportunities.
If you’re considering the program, DO IT!!!
Review by Adam, August 13, 2010
I took TEFL last summer and was thought that it was excellent! Terry (the main teacher) is great and I felt like I learned a lot and was much more comfortable in the classroom than I otherwise would have been. The course was definitely more work than I anticipated it was going to be. You are thrown right in and it can definitely be stressful at times, but it is great preparation for when you get a job. Everyone at TEFL is extremely friendly and truly cares about you actually learning how to be a good teacher. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
Review by Lowell, August 14, 2010
If you want quality, then this program is it. Nothing is given to you. You have to earn every bit of it. That’s why I picked TEFL Worldwide over the other language schools. The staff and faculty are wonderful. They make sure you have all the tools needed to complete the program. The teachers are hands on and have years of real world experience. I recommend this over any language school period.
Review by Tree, August 17, 2010
TEFL Worldwide Prague is the only school that I have attended outside of the U.S. so I don’t have anything to judge it against, however, from some of the less than satisfying stories I have heard, I can confidently say that it is one of the best. Going into the course I really didn’t know what I wanted to do after becoming certified. In many ways I still don’t know today. But during the course I quickly realized something that I didn’t know before going to Prague. I realized that teaching is something that I have a passion for. TEFL Prague teaches you to teach the way that a second language should be taught, and it’s integrated Czech lessons prove that learning a language is not only about the student, but about the Teacher as well and how that teacher presents the material and makes it fun and interactive. To sum it up, In just one month TEFL Prague opened my eyes to a life of being able to teach and travel, and sent me away with a lifetime full of memories and friendships. I highly recomend this school.
Review by Trish, May 25, 2011
I took this course over 6 years ago and it remains one of the most challenging and satisfying things I have done educationally to-date. In four short weeks I learned more about the English language than I did in 26 years of “being native” (which I thought was the main selling point for me teaching abroad). TEFL Worldwide gave me the tools to understand why things worked the way they did in English and HOW to convey that successfully and simply to students. I felt so confident leaving TEFL Worldwide, that I didn’t become one of those “come-and-go” vacation teachers; no, I’ve been teaching abroad now for 6 years and I don’t see myself going back. What a wonderful impact this school has had on my life in so many ways.
Review by Kate, January 8, 2012
I took this course a few months ago, and it was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made. the teachers were great- friendly, helpful and approachable, even after the course was over. The office staff is incredibly helpful too, and are available even after the course to help with visa questions and job questions. I’m so happy I took this course, it is so high quality, and they make you work REALLY hard- which pays off in the long run! I completely recommend TEFL Worldwide!
Review by Michelle Brier, January 9, 2012
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with TEFL Worldwide. Dan is an amazing teacher and I loved learning from him. He’s very patient, smart and made learning easy and fun. I loved the curriculum, how we were taught to teach grammar, all the suggestions we were given for lesson plans and being able to practice on real students.
I appreciate the location of the housing to the school. The villa was very comfortable, clean and close to the school, public transportation and grocery shopping. The internet situation was trying at first, but I was grateful when it all got worked out.
I think the school facility is nice. It was clean and user friendly.
I loved the one-to-one experience. I thought it was great.
I really appreciated my experience at TEFL Worldwide. I have recommended the school to many people, as many were very intrigued by my adventure. I will continue to recommend the school to anyone who asks.
Review by Carmen - Lidia, April 21, 2012
I have recently completed the TEFL course at TEFL Worldwide Prague. It is an intense course – I learnt in one month more than I learnt at University when I studied to become a teacher. The most important thing I learnt is how to determine students to use the words they know in their own sentences. For those who are teaching English as a second language in their own country I am sure you understand how important this is and for the others, who want to become teachers, this is a must that you should be aware of.
I have heard so many times that grammar can be fun but it was something to trick students for 5-10 minutes. After the course, I consider that grammar can be definitely enjoyable. The teacher makes the difference! I feel rich as an English teacher and I feel this thanks to the excellent tutors I had the chance to know at TEFL Worldwide Prague, Dan and Kenny.
Why Prague? Because being in a country which language you don’t know will make you feel like a student; so, before planning your lessons remember how useful/vital were other things when you tried to understand a new language.
Thank you very much TEFL Worldwide Prague. Carmen-Lidia Nistor

Review by Coleman, April 21, 2012
After completing the TEFL course at TEFL Worldwide (March-April 2012) I am extremely happy with my decision to take the course here. It was definitely not stress-free but it was fun, challenging and worth every penny.
I chose TEFL Worldwide because it was clear that their students kept in touch with the school and many were available to contact via email and Facebook. Being able to contact past students made the choice much easier.
The staff at the school is amazing. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful and will not hesitate to offer assistance (even beyond course-related issues). The teacher trainers are incredible – they obviously enjoy what they do and they do a great job.
The accommodations are nice and are close to the school and are reasonably priced. The school’s location at Vysočanská is nice – not in a touristy area, but not off the beaten path. The metro/bus/tram station is so close that all of Prague is a short ride away.
I highly recommend TEFL Worldwide to anyone planning on getting their TEFL certification – you wont regret it.
Review by Aaron, September 10, 2012
My experience with TEFL Worldwide Prague was honestly everything I expected and more. I knew the course would be pretty intense and I would be teaching the second day of the course, so mentally I pretty prepared, but the course was packed! There was no stone left unturned. The instructors knew their craft inside and out and were able to completely answer any and all questions asked when it came to teaching English as a second language. Although it was a lot of work, it clearly paid off because now I am working full time in Prague, living with some great friends that I met through the TEFL course and I really couldn’t be happier. This is ALL thanks to TEFL Worldwide Prague.
One of the truly best things about TEFL Worldwide Prague is the job placement. Yes, it does comes down to you as the individual when it comes to the interview and such in order to be hired for a position, but TEFL Worldwide Prague would feed me advertisements for jobs non-stop until I was able to find the perfect job. Now, I am teaching at a great elementary school and look forward to my job everyday. If you are looking for a serious but well worth it class, you should definitely look into TEFL Worldwide Prague.
Review by Daniela Mirdita, February 4, 2013
I took the TEFL course this year and I definitely found it very useful and rewarding.
It is worth it to attend it for someone who really wants to learn how to teach and wants to have a great experience in contact with these people.
I am very glad to have meeting all these people, the instructors, the staff, my colleagues and living in Prague.
It is for sure an intense and hard course, but you will find it very worth it. Once you enter the school without any notions about teaching, you’ ll go out with the abilities to cope with the problems of teaching and being able to manage classes of different levels.
Kenny and Dan, the instructors, are very professional and give you a whole range of tools and techniques about teaching. They are always available when you have concerns or doubts about every kind of issues.
They are always there for you and I really thank them for their availability and presence in everything.
Also the whole the staff, in particular Justin and Renata are wonderful people and know how to do their job. They are available whenever you need, give you advise and help for job hunting.
I definitely recommend the TEFL course to everyone who wants to enter the teaching world because you will be taught by experts and professionals, and for sure, you will not have regrets afterwards.
Review by Stephanie Olan, March 10, 2013
TEFL WorldWidePrague was an amazing experience. The instructors Kenny and Dan are extremely hands on and very involved with your training. At TEFL you have an indepth 120 hours of training and about 10 hours of hands on practice teaching. Kenny, Dan and Andrea are there to provide constant assistance with your lesson planning and give you constructive feedback on the success of your lessons. The office staff at the school are also amazing. Justin was there to constantly answer any questions I had before the trip and anything pertaining to Prague. Renata was so helpful in helping us understand how to navigate the metro system or even translating information for us from Czech. All of the office staff was extremely willing to help in whatever ways possible. They made the school a fun and warm environment and made sure that any questions you had were answered. They were also very efficient in helping us find jobs. Although TEFL does not provide job placement, they do an amazing job of providing job assistance. Renata was constantly sending out emails with new job listings, and Justin was always there to help review a CV or cover letter, which was extremely useful. Aside from job assistance they also helped me and 3 other girls with housing assistance. Justin does an amazing job of staying in contact with past graduates and he was always informing us of flat vacancies, which is exactly how we got our current flat. TEFL was an amazing experience and I think the staff at TEFLWorldWidePrague are the people to thank for that. I loved my experience there and the warm family environment that they provided and would recommend anyone interested in this once and a lifetime opportunity to seize it and apply. Your European adventure is waiting for you and it starts at TEFLWorldWidePrague!
