Classroom Methodologies is a great supplement to teaching
by: Michael Yu - United StatesProgram: 10-Hour Virtual TEFL Course with Teaching PracticumMy instructor (Michelle Benson) was a great teacher for the Classroom Methodologies course. Michelle was able to offer a comprehensive and practical approach to language instruction, making her (and the course) an invaluable resource for both new and experienced educators. Spanning a range of teaching theories and practices, the course equips participants with essential skills to create engaging and effective learning environments. Additionally, the course incorporates technology in teaching, highlighting digital tools and resources that can enhance language learning. This is particularly relevant in today’s educational landscape, where online and blended learning environments are increasingly common. Feedback and support from instructors are another strong aspect of the course. The experienced faculty provide constructive critiques on lesson plans and teaching demonstrations, helping participants refine their skills and build their teaching repertoire. Overall, the Classroom Methodologies for TEFL course is an enriching experience that equips educators with the tools and confidence needed to excel in diverse teaching environments. It’s a must for anyone serious about enhancing their TEFL teaching practice.
Instructor Michelle Benson - a HUGE asset for TEFL and future teachers!
by: Kirk Utzinger - United StatesProgram: 10-Hour Virtual TEFL Course with Teaching PracticumIt gives me immense pleasure to write about instructor Michelle Benson, who led the 10 hour Virtual TEFL course over past 2-days. Michelle has a wonderful spirit and endless energy, matching her top-shelve preparedness and wicked smart online facilitation skills. Please don't misunderstand me, this course was not a cakewalk, nor without opportunity to put yourself out there by way of individual teaching. It was, a well organized, fastmoving, participation plus 10-hours of real learning. The bottomline line for me is that Michelle really helped me understand how much work actually goes into the three stages of teaching; Presentation, Practice & Production- WOW! I have a newfound appreciation to and for teachers worldwide. Speaking for myself, but confident my feelings are shared by all participating classmates, Michelle has inspired me to continue my study and TEFL coursework journey to become a future online and/or in country instructor. Thank you Michelle- you represent so well - BRAVA! Kirk

I decided to pursue an online program because I wanted to get qualified as a TEFL teacher while also doing my degree program. I needed the flexibility of an online program and knew I would only be able to juggle one in-person classroom—college!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I had actually never heard of the industry until 2016. I learned of the ESL world through my sister, who is one of our academic tutors and runs the 10 hour Virtual TEFL Course. She has been an ESL teacher for years! After I had arrived home from travel, it was Kate who introduced me to the company and the industry. I instantly fell in love with the concept and even did a bit of teaching myself in between in France! I didn't stay away for long though, but the TEFL Institute is an amazing place to work - as cringe as that may sound!
