I find the Level 5 TEFL course really practical and useful to people who wish to pursue a teaching career. The materials are comprehensive and cover all the topics and possible issues the starting teacher might come across. I particularly liked the way the modules were structured with various materials included.

I also find the links and resources extremely useful.

However, I would also welcome more practical examples and tips on what approach to choose for different age groups for teaching general as well as business English – what are typical students’ requirements, standard approach, difference in technique?

Overall, I would like to say that even though I have already been teaching for several years, I found many new and useful tips and a fresh overview of what the contemporary students and teaching requires. The TEFL team and Instructors have always been a great support throughout my studies.

Thanks to the TEFL course, I am excited and more confident about trying to find a teaching job abroad, even as a non-native speaker now. I hope your team is going to be as supportive as ever in my search.

Thank you again, TEFL team.

My experience with the TEFL Academy was a great experience overall. The online system was easy to use and follow and all instructions and expectations were made clear from beginning to end.

The subject content was quite rich and all mostly necessary, however there was repetition sometimes within the videos accompanying the lessons, and the actually lesson content. However, all the templates and resources for lesson planning, and lesson preparation were extremely helpful and will definitely be useful in my teaching journey.

Although the assignment feedback was detailed in explaining what was missed, I do wish that an actual figure or percentage would be used to show exactly how much was missed and actually achieved. This is just my personal opinion.

The observed teaching practice was a great addition to the course as it allowed for interaction with a working professional, as well as other students. I did feel that the assessment part of the day did not feel very authentic and it felt a bit too easy. Still, it was a good experience overall.

Trying to turn a new leaf in my life, and stumbled on TEFL Academy and decided to give it a go. I must admit I was sceptical in the beginning as the course is rather economical and online. I have had very little experience in completing something entirely online, so I didn’t know how effective it would be to learn on my own this way. It turned out that the course is so well-structured, scaffolding the materials in a very organised and easy to follow way. In addition, the forum with others sharing their thoughts have helped me at times when I was stuck on finding my own words to answer some questions. However, I am most appreciative of the feedback that was given to our assignments. It really exceeded my expectation to receive such comprehensive and helpful advice through an online course. I am very satisfied with the course and ready to embark on the top-up courses to better equip myself the for the market. Thank you, TEFL Academy. I would recommend anyone who is on the fence of taking a leap in their life to join the course.

A thorough online course which is quite intense and gives a lot of content. Various resources are also given to students following the course eg books, videos and webinars. The 10 different units tackle a lot of content and pedagogical ideas for teaching english as a foreign language. It was totally asynchronous which is sometimes challenging but also good as one can follow in one’s own time and convenience.

There is no practice in teaching in this course, but there are a lot of ideas one can apply, hence why I could only give a rating of 2. However, I think the course is structured in such a way as to give enough content and help students acquire skills for teaching even if not actually practising them.
