Rachael Thomas-JeremiahTrinidad & Tobago · August 2026

I thoroughly enjoyed this course!

The 120-Hour TEFL Certification was an excellent learning experience. The course was well-structured, informative, and comprehensive, covering important areas of teaching English as a foreign language. I particularly appreciated the practical strategies, clear explanations, and useful resources that can be applied in real classroom settings. The course helped strengthen my understanding of lesson planning, classroom management, teaching methodologies, and effective ways to engage learners with different needs and abilities. I found the flexibility of the course especially helpful, allowing me to work through the material at my own pace while still gaining substantial knowledge and practical skills. Overall, this certification has added value to my professional development and increased my confidence as an educator. I would definitely recommend the 120-Hour TEFL Certification to anyone interested in teaching English or expanding their teaching qualifications.

An excellent preparation for an online-teaching career

The study materials were straight to the point, rich in content and easy to grasp. The support staff member, Laura, responded to messages promptly. My practical course sessions with Michelle Benson gave me the kind of experience and heads up that I needed to improve my one-on-one and whole-class teaching skills. It has been a very rewarding journey for me.

A Smooth and Informative Experience

I have not been there in person, but I did sign up for their online course. Everything about it feels professional, and the sessions come across as really interactive. The language they use is simple and easy to follow. It was honestly the right fit for me. Right after I registered, Annelies emailed to welcome me, and it instantly put me at ease. They also made it clear that they will be guiding me throughout the course and that they will be there whenever I need help.

Highly Recommend for Future Language Teachers

I have just finished the 120 hour TEFL course and I really loved it. Everything is explained so clearly in the modules, and the material is packed with useful information while still feeling very manageable, so progressing through it was straightforward. I would definitely recommend it to other people, and I cannot wait to put what I have learned here to use in the future.

Adam FitzgeraldMay 2026

Learned So Much Through This Course

Taking this course has made me feel confident enough to start applying for TEFL roles overseas. I found the platform really straightforward to navigate and it was packed with useful resources, and the modules were informative, clearly well researched, and backed up with detailed bibliographies so I could keep exploring topics on my own. I would absolutely recommend this company.

Conor MurrayMay 2026

Supportive and Easy to Learn From

My experience with TELF, the online language school, was fantastic. Everything they shared was really helpful, easy to follow, and explained in a way that made sense right away. Huge thanks to advisor Killian Bukulin for walking me through every program, taking the time to respond to my 1000 questions, and staying so friendly the whole way through. I would absolutely recommend TELF to anyone who wants to learn not only how to teach english, but also the methods behind teaching any new language.

Aoife McCarthyMay 2026

Easy to Follow and Enjoyable

Super useful and packed with info. At the start, Leo gave me really solid direction on picking the course that suited me best, and Shauna was great when I needed help arranging an extension. Any time something came up, the customer support team got back to me fast and were genuinely kind about helping. I would definitely recommend.

Sophie McgrathMay 2026

Strongly recommend it to anyone starting out on their TEFL journey

I really enjoyed taking the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course. I would strongly recommend it to anyone starting out on their TEFL journey. You can work through the material in real depth at a pace that suits you, and it feels comfortable the whole way through. It is great value for money, and the learning experience is relaxed throughout.

Jack SheaMay 2026

I had in a really helpful way

The customer service was excellent and everyone was so friendly. They answered every question I had in a really helpful way. It is great value for money for a course that can open up so many opportunities to teach abroad. Eoghan and Ola were especially helpful when replying to my emails.

Megan CollinsMay 2026

The team have been amazing throughout

Right now I am working towards my Level 5 TEFL certificate because I would love to start earning an income as a tutor and take my life in a whole new direction. The team have been amazing throughout, they are so supportive, incredibly thorough, and truly professional. With their help I feel really confident, and I have already achieved four or five Level 5 certificates with my fantastic tutors. I am so excited to finish and find out where this qualification will take me :)

Katie CollinsMay 2026

Flexible, Well-Structured, and Supportive TEFL Learning Experience

I have just finished the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course and I am already excited to start the next courses that become available. I have had hardly any issues at all throughout my experience so far. The site is really easy to use, and I love that I can complete everything in my own time. Every module is well laid out and full of useful information, with a good balance of reading, activities and videos. I also found the end of module assessments really useful because they make sure I stay focused on what I am doing. Everyone I have dealt with has been friendly and supportive, espically Emma Coleman, who helped me with any questions or queries whenever I needed it. I will absolutely be recommending TEFL to friends who are thinking of taking a similar route.

Well-Structured TEFL Course with Valuable Teaching Resources and Support

I have just completed a TEFL course along with Teaching Business English, Young Learners and Teaching Online. Everything is put together really well, and there are so many useful and interesting resources for teachers. Before this I had no idea where to look online for materials for children’s lessons, so I got a lot out of it and found it very enriching. Customer service was great as well, since whenever I reached out I always ended up speaking with someone kind and helpful.

Hannah MurphyApril 2026

Packed with Useful Knowledge

I had a great time completing the 120 hour Premier TEFL course. It covers a huge amount, but everything is organised into clear sections that feel easy to work through. On top of the lessons themselves, TEFL directs you to plenty of really handy online resources. Now I feel ready to start teaching online using what I learned from this course. I would absolutely recommend the TEFL institute. I also did the 30 hour IELTS Preparation Course and the 30 hour Teaching Business English course. Both were excellent additions and I found them genuinely useful alongside the main 120 hour TEFL course.

Megan O'BrienApril 2026

Learned More Than I Expected

I was having trouble getting my documents legalised for a teaching post overseas, and Annelies put me at ease straight away with how kind and helpful she was. She emailed a simple step by step guide that was really easy to follow, and she stayed supportive and lovely the whole way through.

Paul MccarthyApril 2026

Who needs a TEFL certificate.

I completed the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course and honestly found it really engaging all the way through. Everything is laid out in a clean, easy to navigate interface, and it did not take long to understand how the modules and coursework are set up. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a TEFL certificate.

Niamh QuinnApril 2026

Supportive and Well-Structured Add-On TEFL Course with Strong Resources

As a newly qualified EFL teacher, I only picked up an add on course since I already hold my main certificate. I was genuinely pleasantly surprised to get a phone call asking whether I could access the platform okay and if there was anything else I wanted to ask. It is reassuring to know you are not just left to figure it all out alone. I am really happy with what is covered, and it was so useful having everything brought together in one place. The platform itself is really intuitive and helps you focus on learning, without any flashy distractions. If you want it, you can also join live tutor support sessions. The only thing I would love is a way to talk through the reflective tasks with other trainees, but that is just my personal preferance and I know the add on is meant to be self paced self study. Brilliant resources for the price.

Lively energy to every part of it that the whole thing

I had a brilliant time on the 10 Hour Virtual TEFL Course with Michelle Benson. Michelle was a fantastic teacher, and she brought such lively energy to every part of it that the whole thing felt genuinely enjoyable. Although it was delivered over Zoom, it still kept me interested and involved throughout. The content was structured so clearly, and I know I will be going back to the materials once I begin teaching. We all had to plan and deliver a short lesson, and Michelle made sure it felt like a supportive environment where everyone could give it a go together. That bit of teaching practice was honestly where so much of the value was. It definitely challenged me in the best way, and I received really helpful feedback from Michelle and the rest of the group too. I would absolutely recommend it!

Rachel MooreApril 2026

Answered every question with all the details

The TEFL team has been really kind and supportive. Sorcha guided me while I was deciding which course to take, answered every question with all the details I was looking for, and stayed available whenever I reached out. I am truly satisfied with the service.

Amy GallagherApril 2026

Company was absolutely fantastic

My experience with this company was absolutely fantastic. Everyone I dealt with was so welcoming and supportive, and they talked me through everything from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them, because it was really manageable to keep on top of things at home while still being a mom who studies at night.

Adam MooreApril 2026

Really positive experience

I have just finished the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course and it was a really positive experience. Everything was set out clearly, the layout made it simple to work through, and support was there whenever I needed it. I would definitely suggest it to anyone who is interested in TEFL.
