I’ve just finished the 120 hour tefl academy course. Overall it was a great experience. The course is well planned and easy to access online. The content was very well layed out which made the course very straight forward to complete. My tefl teacher in the classroom part was amazing and was a great help! The lesson plan assignments at the end were also great preparation for future teaching. All in all it was an enjoyable course at a very reasonable price.

I recently completed the 168 hour TEFL course. Overall it was a great course with lots of content that prepared me to head off to Taiwan in a few weeks. It covered all the basics of teaching English and provides several suggestions for lesson planning. I would definitely recommend first time TEFL student to take the 168 hour course as it also includes a 20 hour weekend course which was very useful and informative.

I really enjoyed completing the 168-hour TEFL course with The TEFL Academy as I believe it helped me become a better teacher. Each unit of the online course was well-structured; the examples provided were excellent and the tests were really helpful in knowledge solidification.

I would recommend this course as its content covers various aspects of teaching English as a foreign language stressing on ways to improve and diversify the lessons that would suit students of different ages and nationalities.

I just finished the Tefl course 120 hours and it is great it helped me a lot with my final exams. Every module is briefly explained and the exercises are great. And it will surely help me when I find a job as an English teacher.

The 120-hour TEFL course that I completed was very extensive for its length. I had not anticipated it to be filled with so much detailed information and opportunities to practice the newly acquired knowledge.

I thought that the grammar sections were quite a good revision for anyone who has not done any grammar for a while, and certainly a good introduction for those who never learned in the manner that foreign students do.

The modules were overall clearly organised. Because the practice exercises were strategically placed in varied intervals, I had to be very systematic to stay on top of the material. This made the whole experience engaging and rewarding.

My favourite thing about the course were the classroom hours, during which we got to practice teaching techniques. Those same techniques were first practiced on us, which was a very ingenious way of introducing TEFL methods.

The TEFL Academy provides a great course as a foundation for teaching English to non native speakers.

The course content was very useful and practical. The online modules provided a lot of information that will assist with being a teacher and really helps you to develop skills in lesson planning.

The two day workshop was rather intense but reinforced a lot of what was learnt online. It allows you to do some practice with your peers however does not allow for practice with actual students.

I would definitely recommend the course for anyone looking to pursue a career in this industry. Definitely worthwhile and great value for money.

Overall, I enjoyed the TEFL Academy online experience. The chapter tests and assignments are straightforward and thorough, and the course offers a lot of information ranging from strategies and skills that can be utilized in the classroom. Based on the information, the program gives a real insight to how it would be working inside of a English Language Learning school. Not only that, but the two day in-class course is well-taught and allows people who are interested in teaching English abroad to see and feel what it would be like as a teacher abroad and an ELL student.

As a current teacher (not teaching EFL) I found that this program allowed me to use strategies that I have used with my current students, in addition to providing me with other creative activities to be used in and out of the classroom. In general, I think the program was critical, inspiring, and informative for people who are interested in teaching abroad.

I am utterly impressed with the standard of procedure undertaken by The TEFL Academy. I feel abundantly skilled and proficiently versed as an ESL teacher and I am keen on where this qualification might lead me. I was unsure about becoming an English as a Foreign Language teacher at first, but gaining what I have from the TEFL academy has given me the confidence and courage to take on this endeavour as I see fit. The TEFL Academy offers cost effective courses and ample time to learn what it means to teach English as a foreign language, as well as generous support and help with job placement which ultimately makes the whole process remarkably easier. I am massively grateful to The TEFL Academy and I would recommend them to anyone. The TEFL Academy definitely stands most paramount to their competitors and I couldn’t ask them to improve in any way possible.

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). Easy to understand and helpful/patient tutors.

The games and strategies taught are examples I will always come back to for ideas.

My only recommendation would be to maybe word some things in laymen’s terms as not everyone would understand the terminology off the bat.

Overall, I’m going into the industry confident thanks to this course. Thank you
