Incredibly useful..Although I have been teaching for sometime it was a great refresher and addressed some areas I was weak on..Comprehensive and great dialogue/suggestions from the online tutor...I reccomend this for aspiring teachers or as a good refresher for those either experience.

Whilst tough for neuro diversity due to the shortness of word counts, overall a rewarding and great experience to help set up a future life - with great support throughout. Great brochures, handouts and ability to assist all learning styles to make sure you are fully prepared.

I learned a lot as a homeschool mom

June 23, 2026by: Mornick Nicole March - South Africa

I decided to get TEFL certified because I have a genuine passion for teaching and helping children learn. As a homeschooling mom, I saw how important it is to make learning engaging, practical, and enjoyable rather than just completing worksheets. I wanted to gain professional skills in lesson planning, language development, and effective teaching methods so I could better support my own children and other learners. TEFL has given me the confidence and knowledge to create educational resources that help children build skills while developing a love for learning.

Excellent learning experience

The flexible learning format allowed me to study at my own pace while gaining valuable skills and confidence as an educator. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their teaching expertise and pursue international teaching opportunities.

A great chance to dive into the beautiful English language

The 270‑hour Level 5 TEFL course exceeded my expectations in every way. It offers a deep, well‑structured curriculum that covers advanced teaching methodology, grammar, phonology, lesson planning, and classroom management. The course is challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the support from experienced tutors makes the learning process smooth and motivating. I gained practical skills I can apply immediately in real classrooms, both online and abroad. This qualification truly prepares you for professional, high‑quality English teaching

Looking forward to using this knowledge

I have been a volunteer in a school for ladies in Tanzania for several years now. The students are on a one-year course which is free for them. However, due to visa restrictions volunteers are not allowed to stay in the country for more than 3 months. As a result I can only take part in a part of their schooling. Two major difficulties I find there: (1) The differences between US English and UK English. Most of the volunteers come from North America; and (2) A very rocky internet connection and occasional electricity cuts - certainly no interactive whiteboard or other connected resources. The coursebook (a hard copy for the teacher only, with photocopies made occasionally for students) is very out of date. I think that many of the games you have suggested will be very welcome and liven up the lessons enormously. As volunteers work together with Tanzanian (ex-student) teachers, any changes to their routine has to be done subtly. I will let you know how I get on when I get back from next year's visit. Thank you all for your help and patience.

Clear, Engaging, and Worthwhile

I had a positive experience with The TEFL Org course. As a teacher with more than 7 years of experience, I was already familiar with many of the concepts covered, but the course helped me refresh and organize my knowledge in a structured way. The content was clear, well-presented, and easy to follow. I also appreciated the practical teaching tips and real classroom examples. Overall, it was a valuable professional development experience, and I would recommend it to both new and experienced teachers.

I really enjoyed studying with The TEFL Org. The course was well organized, easy to follow, and full of useful information for teaching English. I learned a lot about lesson planning, classroom management, and using AI tools in teaching. The support team was very kind, professional, and quick to respond whenever I had questions. I also appreciated the flexibility of studying online at my own pace. This experience helped me improve my teaching skills and increased my confidence as an English teacher. I highly recommend The TEFL Org to anyone who wants to start or develop a career in teaching English

I enjoyed this course and feel like I have a good head start into TEFL, the feedback is quick and helpful and you can take the course at your own pace which was perfect for me 😊 I would recommend this course.

Wonderful learning!

I love the courses so far. It really help me review and learn about my English skills. Also it was good to learn new methodology strategies and lesson planning that I didn’t know and that will support my work. A lot of knowledge to be taken from it and I feel rewarded of having done this.

I had the most incredible experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed working my way through the Level 5 TEFL qualification. It has provided me with important information about the English language which I have not really covered since school. I now have a better understanding of the ways in which to manage classes depending on whether they are in-person, online, smaller or larger groups.

I had an amazing experience.

The course was well organized; very detailed and extremely informative. And I love the fact that your company continues to send letters support in updating me in what's going on in the industry, valuable information, and most importantly, how to find a job. Thank you

A really good use of my time

I have a masters in Education tech, and I teach ESL in my community as well as at a school I have in Honduras. Even so--This program enriched my ability to teach the English Language at a level I would not have guessed for an affordable program. Very comprehensive and accessible. Before I found TEFL I was exploring the idea of a post-graduate certification from a public university here in the states. 10K was too much. So thankful I found this program.

Not just handed out.

Love the fact that they actually want you to understand the information presented instead of just taking payment and giving you a nice grade. During the writing portion which I had to do over and over which i didn’t mind, meant you guys were actually checking and making sure I had a understanding of what i was learning. Many other online programs and courses just give you the grade this program makes you work think, and prepare you to be ready to take on a real class. If you were not ready before, you will be ready now.

Even though I have been teaching languages for over 30 years, the TEFL training program helped me refine my teaching with great advice concerning lesson planning, class management, and activities. I can't wait to apply for jobs overseas and see where my TEFL training leads me!

Trying Something New

I enjoyed the course; however, the methodology course, the videos, and the work did not always match the end of the unit test. Also, the feedback from the tutor was difficult to complete; it felt like I had to fail, and I am not sure why it was made to make you fail the first time. I did learn a ALOT in the grammar unit, and even though it was a lot, it was eye-opening as a native English speaker.

Review from Thailand

Hi, I'm living in Thailand for 4 years, I planned to open a resort with my Thai wife but we got a problem with a neighbor that delay the project. That's why I decided to start this course. I was business leader in the welding industry and skateboard instructor before, and I hope this course will push me back on teaching because is what I really like. I really appreciated every tutor's feedback on assignments, it's very useful for me. Do something online was a first for me and I really had a good time in doing every part. I'm thinking and hesitating to do the 30 hours course for young learners because i don't if I can do in 1 month. I must be sure to have the time. Thanks a lot. Best regards.

Great course that I enjoyed doiy

Great course. Having previous English teacher experience (unqualified at the time) at my son's school in Cambodia I realised where I could have taught the students in a better way. I started the certificate course but enjoyed the course so much I asked TEFL if I could upgrade to the diploma course, which we did. I highly recommend this course and also the advanced business and academic English course which I have also completed successfully.
