I’m just getting started with the 120-hour TEFL training, and so far my onboarding experience has been smooth and well-organized. My initial impression of the course is very positive – the modules are clear, engaging, and packed with practical content. I really appreciate the tutor support as well; it’s reassuring to know help is available whenever needed. Overall, I’m enjoying the learning process and excited to continue developing my teaching skills.

I’m a couple of modules into the 120 hour TEFL course and I’m loving it so far. It is really interesting to look at the different style of learners and to consider how I would go about teaching different sizes of class.

I have found the different activities that you do as you progress through the lessons help to keep me engaged with the materials.

I have not availed of much of the support that is there yet (something I have to improve on) but the webinars I have attended have been great too.

I’m very happy overall and looking forward to the rest of the course.

The online TEFL course has been clear, informative and easy to follow. I like the mix of videos, images, text, and voice recordings; they keep things varied and make the content easier. Overall, it’s been a solid experience, and I look forward to completing it.

I’m halfway through the 120 Hour Advanced International TEFL Course with Premier TEFL, and it’s been a great experience so far. The sign-up process was easy, the platform is simple to navigate, and the course material is clear and practical. It’s giving me the confidence I need to teach effectively.

Michelle, my tutor, was fantastic! After a year of searching for the perfect TEFL course, I was determined to get certified before heading to Spain in October to start teaching English.

The course was easy to follow and completely self-paced, allowing me to progress through the lessons and quizzes at my own pace. I enjoyed the chatbot Chris on the platform; his quick jokes and helpful advice made learning a fun experience. The quizzes at the end of each section were perfect for reinforcing everything I had just studied.

I bought the TEFL 120 hour course a few months ago.

The content has not only been engaging and informative, but it was not all text the way I imagined it, which makes the learning journey more fun, as I am balancing the TEFL courses with other chores and responsibilities in my life.

The support with regards to job assistance has also been helpful.

I bought the TEFL 120 Hour Course a few months earlier.

I have really enjoyed how interesting and engaging the content is – it is not only text as I had imagined, which makes the learning journey a lot more fun.

I have received support from the team as and when I had queries about the content or even job applications and that is very helpful at a stressful time, balancing the TEFL courses with other responsibilities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve had a really positive experience with the TEFL Institute so far! The onboarding process was smooth and well-organised, and I felt supported from the very beginning. My initial impression of the course was that it was very user-friendly and clearly laid out. The content is practical, engaging, and easy to follow – ideal for both beginners and those with some prior teaching experience.

What really stood out to me was the excellent tutor support. Any time I had a question, I got a helpful and timely response that made me feel confident in my learning journey. I’m looking forward to completing my course and putting it into practice. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get started in TEFL!
