My tutor was invaluable, Angie was amazing.

The course is logical and with hard work provides an excellent foundation for success. The future is bright as a TEFL graduate. This is an exceptional program. I highly recommend anyone wanting to pursue a career teaching abroad to enroll in this excellent program. Good luck everyone. Scott

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.

Andrew KwakUnited States · August 2026

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!

Chynna McGirtUnited States · August 2026

10/10!!!

This course was amazing, from the easy accessible links, toto great video modules. This course was very educational and super helpful in gaining some confidence on this new educational journey. Will probably enroll in another course as I build my experience:)

Gabrielle ClayphanFrance · July 2026

I never thought I could enjoy a course this much!

I am delighted to have chosen this course! I have been teaching for several years and thought I could add knew methods to my existing lessons. If I had known it would be this good I would have done it long ago! I highly recommend it!!

Madison KlineUnited States · July 2026

It was excellent!

My tutor helped me majorly throughout the TEFL course. He always got back to me within 48 hours (through email and through assignment feedback) and that was incredibly helpful/appreciated. I learned a lot and felt like I got out of the course what I put in. Definitely recommend!

Joshua MasseyUnited States · July 2026

This experience happened at some very important but pivotal times in my life!

I’m am so grateful for this experience. It took me a bit longer than I wanted due to life and working full time but I glad I got it done! Right I time because I relocate to Thailand from the United States

Jan SchraderUnited States · July 2026

It met my expectations

Overall the course was clear and well organized. I learned alot especially on methodology because I have never been a teacher. My only critique is that the presenters were a bit dull and robotic. Some of those videos were painfully long. I understand the use of miming and gesturing to "elicit" but I think this PPP methodology takes it too far. At a certain point the gesturing in the videos is not longer helpful but just distracting. The teacher with the dark hair and Scottish accent was particularly over the top. She had a gesture for every word she said, I found it awkward, irrelevant and distracting. I feel use of gestures in moderation can help convey information but I would perhaps revise some of your videos in pursuit of a more fluid and natural presentation. There was one teacher who was particularly well animated, clear and fun to listen to. Tall guy, basic English accent. Not monotone. Could you incorporate some real life videos? I'd love to see a real class in action, the type of class described in the teaching large groups module. 60+ students, few resources, developing country. That could be interesting to see how the teacher really manages a challenging environment.

Luciana AndradeBrazil · July 2026

It transformed my life!

I never thought this could happen, neither that I could work from home and travel where I wanted and still work from there as an online English tutor, but that's exactly what happened and I am so happy about it!

Eszter CsorbaHungary · July 2026

An incredibly useful course

I had a great experience doing this course. I felt that it prepared me for every eventuality that I might encounter in a classroom, and not only that, but all the tips on how to to make grammar interesting for a big classroom was tremendous help. I always thought that my excitement alone would suffice to have students engaged in the classroom, but I have found a new spark and excitement in teaching grammar, not just culture, and I look forward to my classes. I will be recommending this course to all my colleagues, not to mention those older colleagues that could use a refresher in the methodology training.

Nancy BatesUnited States · July 2026

I learned much.

I learned much about TEFL and found the video observation course particularly helpful. Since I am American, my one suggestion might be having a TEFL class coming out of the USA instead of or in addition to the UK since there are some significant differences in expressions and constructions.

Matt LawsonCayman Islands · July 2026

Excellent Content & Easy to Progress Through

The content was very transparent, the assignments well thought out and the Tutor turnaround with assignments was quick and efficient. In all I complete the (120) hr course in little over (3) weeks. Can't wait for my next chapter to begin with teaching as I have just returned from SEA after (7) months. This course sets me up for retirement.
