A Remarkable Experience

I have truly enjoyed my time and studies with The TEFL Acadamy and this is why: 1) The course was doable to complete within the given time; however, it took me 13 months complete due to many circumstances that were beyond my control. I was truly grateful to The TEFL Academy for extending my course when I sent letters with proof of my predicaments, without having to pay for any extensions, although I was ready to do this in order to complete my course, as I was thoroughly enjoying it, and always with encouragement to persevere with my studies. 2) Whenever I got stuck or had a question the helpful and friendly staff always responded to my emails within a few hours. 3) The assignment feedback was both encouraging and helpful in making myself more adequate in the course. I truly enjoyed the 3rd assignment on using an Original Text. I threw myself into this one and to my surprised a distinction. 4) The templates supplied by The TEFL Academy to complete my CV and cover page after the completion of course have been very useful and are very professional. 5) The courses that have been offered for the Top-Up courses are truly amazing with the courses offered, in that they make teaching what I learnt a reality showing where strengths and weaknesses can crop into teaching the material. 7) When I signed up to do my TEFL course I had researched many options. The TEFL Academy were advertised as a very professional organization and although it was a UK based company, and I was in South Africa and had been taught in a different type of syllabus. My journey with The TEFL Academy continues as I aim to complete all the courses offered by this truly amazing world leader in TEFL.

This is me after my Cancer Journey in 2023, when I signed up to do the TEFL Course

It snowed in Ireland at the beginning of March, so bad that we were snowed in and were off our usual 9-5 jobs. I've always wanted to teach and my boyfriend always wanted to teach ESL. That's how this all began.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

The world of TEFL is always something that has interested me. I really believe in the power of teaching English in the general sense as well as the benefits that TEFL teachers can gain personally, economically, and professionally. The chance, therefore, to work for a company that provides people with the opportunity to experience this wonderful world of TEFL was something that I grasped with both hands.
