KHOLOD ABDOYemen · October 2026

A fantastic and flexible training I've tried.

I completed the TEFL Premium 120-hour online course and found it an excellent choice for working learners. The lessons are well-structured, with clear explanations of core EFL concepts such as PPP lesson planning, classroom management, and differentiated teaching for multilevel adult students. The modules include useful real-world examples, practical assignment tasks, and helpful guidance for online teaching. I appreciated the flexible self-paced format, which let me study around my busy schedule. The feedback on assignments was detailed and constructive, helping me fix gaps in my lesson design. This course built my confidence to plan and deliver English lessons, and I'd absolutely recommend it for anyone planning to begin their TEFL journey.

Solid Course Content, but Assessment Policy Undermines Constructive Feedback

I completed the 10-Hour Specialist Course: "Teaching Neurodivergent Students in an EFL Setting." The TEFL Org's curriculum and core reading materials were informative and practical. The syllabus covered essential classroom topics—such as Universal Design for Learning (UDL), sensory adaptations, and tailored classroom management strategies—giving teachers actionable frameworks for inclusive learning. However, the institution's marking and feedback framework has a fundamental pedagogical flaw. When an initial assignment submission is returned due to automated or suspected AI flagging, the institution's official policy—confirmed directly by executive leadership—is to withhold all substantive pedagogical feedback on that first attempt until a resubmission is uploaded. The stated reasoning is that instructors do not provide feedback on work they cannot definitively authenticate as independent. Pedagogically, this creates a counterproductive loop: Students whose work is flagged as structured or polished receive no margin notes or constructive guidance on the subject matter. Students are forced to resubmit blind, guessing which specific instructional concepts need adjustment rather than learning through targeted teacher feedback. Once a second draft is submitted and passed, the educational window to discuss and learn from the initial attempt is completely lost. Good curriculum and clear study modules, but authentic feedback must guide the learning process from day one, not merely appear at the finish line.

Highly recommended program !

I've had a great time getting a training to teach English with the TEFL program. I recommend its thoroughness and the high quality service provided by its thoughtful customer team and tutors. Thanks to you all!

Rosalba FizzarottiItaly · October 2026

Proud of myself

The course is complex but well-structured; therefore I was able to manage it, even studying and working at the same time. It requires discipline, but it is worth the effort. From an international school they have just sked for my resume: I feel preparerò amd confident.

Chasejamison SpearsUnited States · October 2026

I really enjoyed this program's flexibility!

I am working multiple jobs to fund my upcoming travel and I appreciate how flexible this course is. I set my own goals and hours, and completed it within a month! I learned a lot about grammar and methodology while navigating plenty of options for my own unique teaching style.

Great Learning Program!😉

I warmly recommend studying teaching English with the TEFL organization for its most resourceful and comprehensive program as well as for its thoughtful advisors and tutors. Everything is made so that one gets absolutely well-prepared for any new professional adventure ahead in this field. Thanks to all, really! Best,

Step in the right direction

The service provided by the TEFL Org team was impeccable. They covered most of my queries, but then it was hard to find relevant jobs for me in my city. Not really their fault when they're not a job application website. As for my supervisor, I appreciate how direct yet positive he is to me after all the assignments and is always open to helping me in becoming the best version of an English teacher. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to change career paths!

Laura AdamsUnited Kingdom · October 2026

Great course

The course was very good, challenging and informative. Great video demonstrations and quizes. The assignments were very helpful and my tutor was very effective in his support and guidance. I highly recommend this course to others.

TEFL Course Review

This TEFL course is well-structured and highly practical. I have gained solid knowledge of the PPP lesson framework, classroom management strategies and age-appropriate activity design. Real teaching cases helped me understand how to adapt lessons for learners at different levels. The tutor gave clear guidance and timely feedback on my lesson plans. Before the course, I felt nervous about English teaching. Now I can design complete lessons confidently and use effective interaction skills to engage students. It bridges teaching theory and real classroom practice. This course greatly improves my teaching competence and builds up my confidence as an English educator. I would strongly recommend it to anyone planning to teach English.

Fabrice BobinFrance · September 2026

i had a great , and difficult time as the level is high.

maybe you should add a module about punctuation, as it is important and there is not such a module on the 120 hours teaching english, tefl, tesol . i am french , for eg, and we have punctuation as well, but it be confusing sometimes, for students to understand, as we don't have the same kind of rythm, and musicality in the way , we write, and pronunce in english , that, could help students of other native languages too. thank you ! the course was really gret and enriching, and quiet high level , nd well, created .

Marie Michelle YoungAmerican Samoa · September 2026

I learned so much!

I am a veteran teacher of 32 years and I still learned a lot about teaching English to foreign students! The TEFL course was well organized, fun and interesting. The teachers used humor and explained the concepts well.

Lori Beth StewartUnited States · August 2026

Great!

Everything is well laid out with clear instructions! I really like the grammar review and the preparation for teaching online. I wish they would have offered the extra courses free when I enrolled, but I can always take those later!

TEFL Course Review

Excellent course. Goes into a lot of detail with a variety of different training materials ranging from video tutorials, classroom observations videos, quizzes and assignments. As a teacher of many years with a lot of experience I still learnt a lot. Brilliant. Thank you.

Good learning experience

Was looking for an entry into teaching industry and found this online course to be comprehensive and have modern day content. Would recommend to others, learned a ton! Enough course material to feel comfortable in taking first teaching position.

Adam GelfandUnited States · August 2026

The 120hr is the perfect start!

This was a great course to take and recommend it to all looking to get into teaching English as a second language. The course was very easy to follow along and keep your attention and loved the format of the lectures.

Lance PorterUnited States · August 2026

This was a very well-constructed on-line course

I give this course very high marks. All the course materials were very professional. They promise to grade your written assignments in 48 hours, and they always did. The course worked perfectly - no bugs, no glitches, no typos, no problems. I would happily recommend the course to anyone who wants to teach English as a foreign language.

Shivedh BehariSouth Africa · August 2026

I Enjoyed the Journey

It was very interesting. The content was very informative and the live demonstrations tied in with the lessons being taught. The Unit quizzes where good and helped reinforce understanding. TEFL really did use its own Methodology to teach you how to teach English online or in person. Looking forward to the next step.

Gabrielle ClayphanFrance · August 2026

I honestly had a great time!

I decided to do this course although I have been teaching for some time now. I thought it might open a few doors or at least give me a fresh idea of new teaching ideas. I absolutely loved the course and think that I should be able to increase career opportunities despite my age!! I have learned some brilliant information and was disappointed when I realised how quickly I had finished!
