Something New
December 04, 2025by: Covenant Olusola - NigeriaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseThis course has really been an eye opener. I got to learn that there's a whole other world of opportunities apart from those present after school. Since English has always been one of my favorite subjects, I got to learn a new aspect to the subject and that's something I really enjoyed.

The course is well-organized, the instructions are clear, and the assignments truly reflect real teaching situations.

Overall, this program strengthened my skills as an educator and prepared me to confidently work with English language learners.
Great course
December 03, 2025by: Roelien Morrison - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseI’ve been debating whether to take this course for almost two years, and I finally went for it this year — honestly, I’m so glad I did.

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.

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.
