May 14, 2025by: Diamond Jackson Jackson - United StatesProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseFound the program to be well structured and thorough! One area I believe could be improved is the CV and cover letter template provided after the course. The structure feels a bit disorganized, and the content reads as if the course is still ongoing rather than completed.
Excellent course which held my attention.
May 13, 2025by: Valerie McMillan - EnglandProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseThe level 5 TEFL course is a well thought out approach to online learning. I liked the quick response to my queries and questions via the student portal. Once submitted, I found the time taken to mark the assignments was quick, with the feedback encouraging and useful, making me feel supported throughout the course. I also liked the balance of self learning/marked assignments and being able to learn at my own pace. That said, I was mindful of the 6 month deadline, so if I had to choose a downside, it would be that perhaps TEFL could allow longer to complete the course and increase this time allowance, as I occasionally found it tricky to balance my home, work and personal life in order to make time. I really enjoyed the course, and would recommend this method of online learning in order to become a fantastic (or better) EFL teacher.
Excellent support and services
May 13, 2025by: Nikaela Reddy - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseThe TEFL academy has provided me with unwavering support throughout my online journey. The content was easy to understand and designed with students in mind, the luxury of having multiple attempts to complete a test was an ode to ensuring that I am confident in the material I was learning, and that it was not "just" a memory test. The TEFL academy has made me excited to register for other online courses to enhance my career - its the epitome of convenience and efficiency.

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.
