I’ve really enjoyed taking this TEFL course. The material is well-structured, easy to follow, and covers everything from grammar to classroom management. The interactive elements and real-world examples kept me engaged, and the tutor feedback was always helpful and encouraging. I feel much more confident and prepared to teach English now. Highly recommend for anyone looking to start their ESL journey!

I’m currently working through my TEFL course and so far, the experience has been really positive.

The onboarding process was smooth and easy to follow. Everything was clearly explained from the start, and I felt well supported getting set up and into the course material.

My initial thoughts on the course were that it’s very well organised and easy to navigate. The content is engaging, and I like that I can work through it at my own pace. It feels manageable, even alongside other commitments.

The tutor support has been great so far. Any questions I’ve had have been answered quickly and clearly, which really helps when you’re trying to stay motivated and on track.

I’m looking forward to completing the course and putting everything I’ve learned into practice. So far, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone considering getting into teaching English abroad or online.

I’m enjoying studying and completing this certificate. It is giving me a lot of confidence in my abilities as a native English speaker to help others through tutoring. It is a really good course because as native speakers we tend to speak and write naturally without focusing on the grammar rules. Nonetheless, these are essentials for people learning English and therefore this course gives you a good, clear, boost on the essential grammar, and vocabulary aspects that are very important to be able to teach to new English learners.

I really enjoyed the class. It is so comfortable and flexible based on your free time as it is online. I highly recommend to other international students as well. Especially Thanks to Lisa Flynn ( Customer service assistant). She helped me a lot and I did not have any problem during the course. Thanks to Academic team and The TEFL INSTITUTE.

The TEFL Institute is a wonderful self-paced learning environment. The website and course materials are easy to naviagate and informative. I have found it so helpful to be able to access all previous modules for revision at any time, anywhere. The flexibility has been a huge strength of the course.

The only con is that the lessons are read by a text to speech AI and it would be amazing to have it voiced by a real teacher or voice actor to aid with the solo learning and sound more natural and human.

All of the course modules are broken down into easy to follow chunks. I have had no prior teaching experience or higher education and it has been very rewarding to accumulate knowledge and learn new skills with ease during this course.

The onboarding experience has been very positive, as Killian helped me with all the questions that I had.

Initially I thought the course would be harder, but it’s at an adequate level.

Everything is good so far, I am very satisfied.

It was great to enroll in this course. They provided many teaching resources and useful tips. Although I already knew most of the topics since I have a Bachelor’s degree in English, the course was still very helpful in learning more about teaching English as a Foreign Language.

The staff were fantastic, Elaine, the enrolment officer advisor, was especially supportive and made the whole process so much easier. I found the platform intuitive to use, and I loved the addition of AI-powered quizzes and lesson plans. This was my first time experiencing anything like it!

Chris, the chatbot, was an absolute lifesaver as I worked my way through the course. He answered all my questions promptly and was always there when I needed help. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Well done, TEFL Institute, top marks from me!
