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!

I am really enjoying this course so far! I look forward to waking up everyday to study more. I am learning quite a lot from the course already and am becoming more confident about how I’m going to teach students when I’m a qualified teacher! There is a lot of info in this course and it is extremely helpful. This isn’t even a chore for me, like I genuinely enjoy doing this course and would consider it top be my new fave hobby!

Thank you TEFL!

Although I had no prior teaching experience, enrolling in the 120-hour Advanced International TEFL Course has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made. The course offers clear, structured guidance for first-time teachers and has equipped me with invaluable strategies and insights for approaching English Language Teaching effectively.

Having a TEFL qualification also immediately boosts your candidacy for teaching positions, which is a huge bonus.

So far, I’ve worked through a range of valuable and practical tasks that deepened my understanding of modern English teaching methods. I explored key topics such as identifying traditional vs. student-centered approaches, reducing teacher talking time (TTT), understanding different error types (mistakes vs. errors), and applying techniques like eliciting, using gestures, and managing classroom dynamics.

I also matched teaching methods (like TPR, The Silent Way, Suggestopedia) to their characteristics, and learned how to tailor lessons based on student needs, intelligences, and classroom types (monolingual, multilingual, mixed-ability, etc.).

Overall, these tasks helped me build practical skills and a more confident, learner-focused teaching approach. I’m excited to continue learning and would truly appreciate the chance to access more free courses to keep growing.

I’ve just started the course, and I really like how well it’s structured. The material is shared in a fun and engaging way. Anyway, it’s just the beginning, so I’m curious to see what other positive things I’ll be able to add as I go.
