Highly recommend to newbies/beginners who want to teach overseas!

Having had no prior experience with teaching English, this was also my first attempt at learning the information to become certified to teach. My experience with the course, its content, quizzes/tests, and the feedback provided by the TEFL institute teachers was excellent. It was a bit stressful and overwhelming for me at times, and what I learned was far more advanced than even my 4th year of college. Great job and thanks TEFL Institute!

The 120 Hour TEFL course was very well put together. Being able to go at my own pace really help me be able to soak in the material. I would highly recommend this course to others looking to teach English as a foreign language.

I recently completed my TEFL course and couldn’t be happier that I’m now equipped to get out there and kickstart my TEFL journey!

The course content overall is thorough and covers all aspects of working as a teacher of English as a foreign language. It does take time and dedication as a learner to go through all the modules and complete the assessments but it was well worth it.

In addition to this, I would like to highlight how the team at the TEFL Institute has been responsive, from the first time I reached out to them, up until completion. I would specifically thank Lisa F. for answering all of my questions and for providing the guidance I needed.

To anyone who’s considering a TEFL course, The TEFL Institute is your place to start!

My Review of the 120-Hour Advanced International TEFL Course

Fresh from completing the 120-hour Advanced International TEFL course, I would like to share my experience.

I found the course thoughtful and well-structured. As a foreigner, it felt like an enjoyable journey between refreshing basic English knowledge and gaining more specific insights, which helped me decide to continue with the program.

The progress tests at the end of each lesson were very helpful. Although some questions at the end of certain modules were a bit tricky, they pushed me to think more carefully, and in the end I was proud to achieve my certificate.

I especially enjoyed the module on teaching methods for Very Young Learners and Young Learners. Since I have some previous experience in this area, it brought back great memories, and I found myself smiling at the TPR and other activities described.

The final module was particularly valuable, and I know it will be useful when updating my resume.

Thank you for offering such an amazing course!
