I completed the TEFL course in August 2019 and had an excellent experience throughout the entirety of the course. Prior to the course, Chelisa and Cheryl were in frequent contact with me to provide all the information I needed about the course and to answer any questions I had. Since my course was a bigger group, we were taught by two different trainers, Kenny and Jazmin. They were both excellent instructors. Input sessions covered a variety of subjects related to teaching English, and all of the sessions were very well prepared and informative. Even though trainees are thrown into teaching from the very first week of the course, I felt prepared to teach my first lesson. The course is very intense, but if you manage your time effectively it’s no problem completing all of the assignments. Feedback on teaching practice was accurate, helpful, and very constructive. Even when being more critical of a trainee, the feedback definitely felt like it was given to help us, not to make us feel bad. There was always a trainer available to help during office hours if we needed assistance with lesson planning or other information related to the course. There was a large focus on grammar, both in increasing our own awareness of it as well as learning how to teach it. Cheryl has been fantastic with providing job guidance and interview preparation, and since the program has such a good reputation in Prague it has been easy to find a job here within a few weeks of graduation. I’m not currently looking to teach children but I took the Young Learner’s Workshop in case I want to in the future, and that was a valuable aspect of the course as well. The office staff were always very kind and helpful. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at TEFL Worldwide and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to teach English abroad.

I attended the TEFL course here in August 2019. I regard it as one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life! The content of the course was fantastic, no filler, just the good, useful, practical stuff. It helped me get from nothing to teaching my first class just within three days. We immediately jumped into how to make a good lesson plan, what are the lessons’ formats, how to decide on objective of the lesson, what are the system aims, skill aims, how to give clear instructions, how to teach new vocabulary and how to make a lesson out of a textbook page – all that within the first week! That really helped us to jump right into teaching and immediately practice what we had learned. I feel like I learned more in that one month than I would have learned going to college for three years.

The trainers were very helpful and friendly, and even though it wasn’t always pleasant to have your every lesson assessed and your every mistake judged, at the end of the day, the feedback was what really helped us improve and gave us a lot to think about.

The course took a lot of work and effort to get through, and around the week 3, the workload was really starting to get unbearable, but somehow we still managed.

I only have two things that I could possibly complain about. The library of resources I feel was a little lacking. There wasn’t a whole lot of textbooks to choose from, and I wish they would have at least some of them in a pdf form and the audio in mp3s. They only had CDs, and honestly, there aren’t many notebooks or PCs with a CD drive anymore. The other thing is, I wish they would have provided a clasroom for the one to one session. We had to meet at a restaurant or a café which was kinda uncomfortable and felt a bit unprofessional.

But overall wonderful experience, fantastic course, and great after graduation support 🙂 I fully recommend it to anyone who wants to try teaching English abroad, meet a bunch of new friends and learn!

The course was really cool, sometimes was difficult too much information at the same time, you have to be ready for the lesson plans and how to work the best way as possible, the trainers gave us all the steps and resources, help us with the lesson plans and how to deal with stress situations.

Honestly the TEFL course was really nice, a great decision in my life and I really enjoyed the time in Prague with my partners at TEFL, so a 100% recommended, I work in Mexico as a German teacher and within the next months I will start teaching English again.

Regards from Monterrey Mexico.

This course was amazing! It’s very fast so you’re thrown right into it but you are helped the whole way. They don’t expect you to be perfect. It’s not super hard work, but it was time consuming because of the lesson planning. The in-person teaching with real ESL students was the best learning experience. Coming to this program as a non-teacher it really increased my confidence in my teaching ability. I would recommend this to anyone!!

This TEFL course is probably the best you can get! All the trainers and staff are so helpful and friendly, and Jazmin an Kenny are perhaps the best teachers I have ever had. They gave us the best example of how to teach English in a fun and engaging way, and will be my inspiration for years to come!

The course is tough, one month of hard work and study, but it’s worth it. I feel confident now to take on the world, whereas before, especially being a non-native English speaker, I did not feel that I could teach English to others. If you do this course though, do your travelling and any touristy stuff either before or after the course. You won’t have much time to focus on anything else than studying. That said, it was well worth all the effort!

Conclusion: great course, great staff, great trainers, and great decision!

This course was exactly what it should be. It was an intense month of focused learning that prepares you to be the best trained TEFL instructor possible. Their curriculum is geared to address any language. It is extremely well structured and thought out to cover every facet necessary for success in this profession. Although at times you will feel overwhelmed, it is doable and the support offered will not allow you to fail, unless you want to. Don’t go with the idea you will be able to travel to surrounding countries while taking this course. If that is your plan, either schedule your travel plans before or after finishing, your weekends will be spent studying. Having attained 3 graduate degrees before, I can equate the experience as a mini masters in teaching English. If you are serious about being practice ready, then this school is for you.

Coming into the course after almost two decades out of school I wasn’t sure what to expect, or if I would be able to successfully complete the course. TEFL worldwide Prague came in strong and precise, giving me all the tools I would EVER need in the world of being a EFL teacher. The classes were intense and well structured, and any moment that began to feel any bit overwhelming I was able to ask the outstanding instructors for guidance. I was always met with a very professional and efficient response to my questions, but was also able to develop a strong bond to the intstructors. I consider them all my dear friends and i know that they still welcome any and all questions going forward in my journey! On top of all that, I now have over a dozen close friends and colleagues all across the globe! I consider taking this class as one of the greatest decisions I have ever made!

TEFL Worldwide Prague was a great experience. The entire office staff – Cheryl, Dana, and Veronika – was always kind and extremely helpful! The support doesn’t stop after graduation. They have continued to offer support and answer any questions after graduation from the program. The instructors, Kenny and Jazmin, as well as the other observers, Adrian and Allison, were knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. The teaching and feedback provided throughout the course was exceptional. Kenny and Jazmin put a great deal of effort into making sure the course prepares you to be a successful teacher. So, naturally the course requires a lot of effort from you, too. My advice to anyone considering the program is to complete your assignments as quickly as you can. Don’t let yourself fall behind because the course moves quickly, and it could become stressful to those who procrastinate. However, even with the pace of the course, there’s plenty of time given to complete all the assignments. Ask questions, take good notes, and improve from the feedback the instructors give you. This was truly a positive learning experience! Without hesitation I would recommend TEFL Worldwide Prague to anyone considering a TEFL certification.

The TEFL is one of the best school I studied at and it’s also one of my best choices so far.

I‘ve learned many good things and techniques at this course.

Our teachers Kenny and Jazmin are very experienced and knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in all the ways.

I also want to say thanks to Cheryl, Dana and Veronika for their help and support.

As a non-native speaker, I thought it will be hard studying with all of those native speakers. However, it was a big challenge for me and now, I can only say that I am really happy that I chose TEFL World Wide Prague!

The teachers taught me all main techniques how to become a good teacher. If you pass this English course, so it’s just up to you what you will do…after the course, you have all important experiences and knowledge about teaching English abroad. I would definitely recommend TEFL course to all future students.

I started considering a TEFL program in 2015 and was in contact with several different schools. For the majority of 2018 Cheryl and Dana were in contact with me regularly to answer my questions, provide information, and give support. Never once did the staff push for enrollment or commitment to the program, but continually offered patient (and quick!) responses to any questions or concerns I posed.

The level of instruction and feedback during the course was excellent. Having gone through several academic programs I believe my standards are pretty high. Kenny and Jazmin were knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and supportive during the entire process. Allison and Adrian also provided helpful and insightful feedback as observers that allowed for continual progress throughout the course.

Without hesitation I would recommend this program to anyone – the support and guidance are there before, during, and after!
