I hope this is my first step for a new career
December 22, 2025by: Tin Bach - VietnamProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseI've changed from marketing to English teaching recently and I think I'm lucky enough to have found this TEFL Course. The content is well organized and holistic, especially useful for new EFL teachers like me. Even though I could learn anytime and anywhere I wanted, it did require a lot of effort on the 3 assignments. It's really worth my time. Highly recommend!
TEFL gave me newfound perspective, excitement and passion for my career!!
December 21, 2025by: Tabitha Ramotwala - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 3 TEFL CourseI've been stuck in a monotonous loop in my career biology/public health/ lecturing career wondering how to revitalize in an impactful way. Getting TEFL qualified has given me the tools to do just that- tapping into a market of people who have their own talents and gifts to offer society, save for a language barrier that I have now been equipped with the skill set to turn into an opportunity and strength. I look forward to doing so in a global landscape that was initially not available to me.
The course exceeded my expectations.
December 21, 2025by: Nabil Adam Adam Abbas - SudanProgram: Online Level 3 TEFL CourseI have just completed the TEFL Academy Level 3 course. The course was very beneficial, particularly in helping me understand different teaching methodologies and how to apply them in real classroom situations. I really enjoyed learning about the methodologies and appreciated how the course shared practical tools that I can use when lesson planning and teaching. The assignments were challenging, but they were well designed and allowed me to practise what I learned, especially in lesson planning and integrating different topics effectively. Overall, it was a valuable and rewarding learning experience

What inspired you to travel abroad?
What inspired me the most was being able to help people achieve their dreams of travelling and teaching English in other countries around the world. Some people are in the middle of switching careers after many years and seeing them follow their dreams just as I did at some point in my life and take such a big step, is admiring and gratifying.

I have worked in educational/travel industries for over two and a half years now. I love to work with people who are looking to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Our students will go out into the world and teach others the very valuable skill of the English language. It is great to be part of the process. It is great to assist people in reaching their goals of becoming a certified TEFL teacher.
