The TEFL Academy

Invaluable advice and tools. Thorough on all of the key aspects of English and teaching. Several informative further readings. Quick and helpful feedback. An obvious passion and care for the work done in the course.

Hello! Having worked in finance and real estate for the last 20 years completing the TEFL course was an exciting breath of fresh air. Overall I felt that the course was a solid introduction to the world of teaching. I personally learned a lot from watching videos other instructors teaching in a live environment. I would suggest adding as many ‘real world’ type videos to the curriculum as possible. These videos really help newbies like me solidify concepts like ‘elicit the target language.’ I kind of understood what that meant when I was initially going through the course, but when I watched the longer full length video of the teacher giving a PPP lesson to a class the concept really hit home for me. I also am 41 years old and if/when I proceed with this career I’ll be focusing on adults/business language. There was some business language in the level 3 course. I did take the level 5 business add on course which I felt was just ok. It wasn’t nearly as thorough as the level 3 and without and assignments to submit it almost felt like it was ‘too easy’ to just complete the quizzes without having to submit a final assignment. S

I had an amazing experience studying with the TEFL Academy. The course was well structured, easy to navigate and the content was clear and practical. I especially appreciated how accessible the material was and how smoothly the learning process went overall! It gave me a solid foundation and confidence to start teaching English.
