TEFL Journey Abroad
July 10, 2026by: Johnny Pham - United StatesWhile vacationing in Vuetnam with my family, I began to explore ways to build a life and a career abroad. I decided to pursue teaching English and was introduced to myTEFL.orh for my certification. My experience with the online myTEFL was highly rewarding and enjoyable. The program allowed me to study at my own pace,making it easy to balance my personal life with my course work. The materials were exceptionally well-organized, comprehensive and easy to understand. Staying online provide the ultimate flexibility, allowing me to complete the lessons from any where in the world. By dedicating a few hours each day to my studies, I successfully completed the certification in a brief time. As I work toward my long term goal, I am grateful that a new journey has begun thanks to myTEFL.
Secured a career online!
January 22, 2021by: DaShon Ellis - United StatesI took the introductory 40-Hour TEFL course. The course was very thorough, I was offered a tutor to ask questions to, and whenever I had an issue, myTEFL returned answers to my inquiry in 24 hours or less! I was very impressed with the staff and the content offered in the course. The valuable information that I learned led to me securing a career online teaching students who live abroad! Thank you myTEFL!
My return as a teacher!
December 23, 2020by: Martin Castellanos - HondurasI used to be a teacher long time ago, I was afraid to teach again because I was not feeling well prepared for the new academic system, I found myTEFL on the internet and to be honest it exceeded my expectations! My tutor was really kind and always cheered for me when I wanted to drop all the course, I already finished it and I am feeling eager to start teaching again, thanks myTEFL!
Practical course
October 15, 2019by: David Vasquez - SpainThis course has been designed well and has good informative lessons. When I was studying I liked the quiz review after the lessons, and felt this helps when learning. I do wish there was some videos in the course, but it is very informative still. Mostly I felt the price was fair and has good value. This course will help me be better at my job and gave me better knowledge about classrooms. I would recommend this course.
