I just completed my 310 hour TEFL certification, with an additional 30 hours in IELTS training. Everyone with TEFL Institute is super nice and helpful. I feel they truly put the students’ interests first. It has been lovely working with all of them and I learned a ton! They also try to keep their courses affordable, while at the same time preparing their students for real teaching.
The 10 hours LIVE teaching (online), the instructor, made you feel relaxed and confident that we could take the next steps in our teaching journey. Teaching to peers isn’t the same as a live practice in the classroom to real students. This is where true learning will happen. We had the opportunity to teach to our peers. It was quite short and the feedback very encouraging. However, planning an actual 30-60 minute lesson and teaching a full class will be the true test. I suppose I will learn by doing. This teaching time seemed much too short, which is why I only gave the practice teaching section a 3. Our instructor, however, I would give a 5. She modeled perfectly what and how we should be teaching. In more expensive and face to face classes, one would assume there would be the opportunity to teach to real students in a physical classroom, over many more hours. However, in this online setting, they very much have condensed the information and prepared students as best they can in limited time.
I have never taken such a long online course. This course was very thorough, organized, and drilled the material repeatedly. I appreciated how many resources were offered along the way. There are also some links, that are broken, which happens over time on the internet. But overall students are given a vast range of resources to pursue.
The AI voice is nice, and soothing. At times her inflection is incorrect, which changes the meaning of the words. Occasionally there are grammar mistakes in the content. For this I took off a star for content, for not being perfect.
Thank you TEFL Institute. Everyone has always responded to my emails promptly and solved all my issues. I am grateful for the course you provided!
