I am so grateful

My experience with the TEFL Institute of Ireland so far has been excellent. From enrollment and access to the course materials, to having a tutor available as well as scheduled check-ins, the support and overall offering have been fantastic and of an exceptionally high quality. I have also had a few queries, and the customer support from Lisa Flynn has been exemplary, helping to resolve my issues quickly so I could continue enjoying the course. If you are considering taking an online TEFL course, I cannot recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland highly enough.

Great team

I recently started my TEFL course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, and even though I’m still at the beginning, I’ve had a really positive experience so far. The course content is easy to navigate, and it is laid out clearly, which made getting started feel very manageable. I also really appreciate that the course is self‑paced, being able to work through the material in my own time has been a huge help. The online support team is super amazing, as they are so quick to help! Especially Lisa, who was incredibly helpful when I reached out with a question about the course. She responded quickly, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process very straightforward. Her professionalism and friendliness made a big difference in a moment when I needed help, and her help genuinely improved my experience as a new learner balancing other studies. It’s reassuring to know that the support team is so responsive and approachable. Overall, I’m enjoying the course so far, and I’m looking forward to continuing it! :)

Good experience to date.

I am currently working on achieving my 180-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma. I enjoy the different methods used during the course. This includes audio, text, video and quizzes. Customer service and support during my course have been good to date. Questions are answered normally within 24 hours.

TEFL Institute provides great courses and amazing resources!

I just attended the Job Coaching Seminar hosted by Emos from the TEFL Institute and it was great! Emos gave us some great advice and tips on how to approach the job market, with many examples and websites that we can look at to get more information. I enjoyed how he incorporated his real-life experience to give some guidance. Emos and TEFL Institute provide great courses and they are very supportive.

Always great to have a refresher

It’s always great to have a refresher moment as well as all the input from the other attendees. The class / the webinar leader was full of advice for us all. There is so much sage advice to be imparted.

Useful course but too general perhaps

Very good teacher but ideally I would have liked a more on hands and practical advice, maybe some country specific info to get a flavor of the different international job markets and its opportunities.

A comfortable introduction to TEFL

February 10, 2026by: Nuno Pinto - Portugal
4

It felt like a normal, standard yet comfortable and well-done introduction to the world of TEFL and looking at starting this career. Some information I think was a little bit too surface level but if you have no contact with this industry, it still feels relevant to attend, which was my situation going into this. I do think some topics were covered too superficially, for instance, what your certifications actually mean as far as getting a job, and which jobs/how far having certain teaching certs and English level in and of itself mean. A good experience overall, maybe should be slightly longer to allow for more in depth information on certain things.

Excellent Job Coaching with Emos - Very Insightful!

I recently attended the job coaching seminar with Emos, and it was a great experience. I am currently 20 years old and finishing my degree in English Studies in Morocco while completing my Level 5 180-hour TEFL program. Emos provided very practical advice on how to build a professional CV and how to prepare for international interviews. The session helped me understand exactly what steps I need to take to start my teaching career abroad once I graduate. I feel much more prepared and confident now. I highly recommend this coaching to any student looking to teach English internationally!

Helpful advice to improve

It was a very good job coaching seminar with Emos on 12/01. He provided lots of very helpful information and was very patient with everyone's ongoing questions despite saying wait until the end for Qs. I feel well prepared to now go and start my TEFL online career.

TEFL Job Coaching Webinar by TEFL Institute

January 13, 2026by: Amin Wahidi - Italy

I am about to complete my Level 5 TEFL Advanced Diploma by TEFL Institute shortly. I found this Job Coaching Seminar/Webinar by TELF Institute of Ireland very useful. The world of teaching English is very competitive even for the native English speakers. It's more challenging when you are not a native English speaker. Especially in the first steps soon after you get your Diploma, the real world of looking for a job in the field appears tough, however you can still find a place for you, if you follow insightful advice, practical information from the experts about "how to make better your CV", "What to include in the cover letter" and "where as a right place to look for the job", you will be undoubtedly successful in finding the job you are after. Thank you very much for this webinar/seminar today.

Superb and engaging TEFL Job Coaching Seminar

I attended the TEFL Job Coaching Seminar. It was very informative and well structured. Emos presented the content professionally and facilitated an engaging seminar. The slides were great and to the point. The seminar also provided me with numerous pathways to initiate my job search. I loved the practical examples Emos provided. It made it much more hands-on. It would have been great to receive more country‑specific information.

TEFL Job search talk by Emos - Definately worth doing

January 13, 2026by: Annabel Gilmour - England

A very, very informative talk by the highly engaging Emos who supplied a lot of very useful information and links on working as an EFL teacher. Highly recommended as there are some very useful tips and tricks that I will most certainly be trying. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I've been scribbling for the last hour and am much more positive about finding a job. Thank you.

Evening TEFL Boost Training with EMOS

Although most of the topics mentioned in the training were already familiar to me, as I am currently connected with an ESL company that teaches Cambridge YLE and am also completing a 30-hour IELTS Teacher Training course at the TEFL Institute, I found the session very valuable. The trainer did an excellent job and shared wonderful additional resources, including useful links and websites. I truly appreciate the effort and quality of the training. I am always eager to continue improving myself, especially in my teaching career, and to expand my professional network. Thank you very much for an excellent training session this evening.

It's me!

I recently attended the TEFL Job Coaching Seminar by Emos and it was a truly valuable experience. The session covered essential topics like resume building, interview preparation, and a curated list of useful websites for international job applications. The guidance was clear, actionable, and tailored to help participants stand out in a competitive global market.

Surprisingly helpful

He covered some obvious points, but also some not so obvious points and there was also a Q/A at the end. We covered the general idea of the industry, identified a few franchises and platforms for teaching online and in person. It was also quite enlightening to hear other people's perspectives.
