I had a great experience with UNI-Prep

I recently complete the 120- hour TESOL certification course with UNI-Prep Institution. The materials were easy to follow and the breakdown of teaching grammar and lesson planning was super helpful. The flexible online format made it easy to study . I highly recommended for anyone looking to step into International English teaching to choose UNI-Prep Institution to study at your own self-pace with a fantastic experience.

Clear and Well-Organized Content: A Great Investment of My Time and Money

I recently completed the 120-Hour TESOL & TEFL Certificate Program offered by UNI-Prep Institute, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. / The course content is exceptionally well-organized, making it easy to navigate through each module. Each section builds on the previous one, which helps reinforce learning and ensures that even complex concepts are easy to grasp. The structure is intuitive, allowing me to focus more on understanding the material rather than getting lost in the content. / One of the standout features of this program is the effective combination of reading materials and video content. This dual approach not only enhances understanding but also aids in remembering the content. The videos provide visual and auditory reinforcement, making it easier to absorb key concepts and teaching techniques. I found that switching between reading and watching kept me engaged and helped solidify my learning. / What I found particularly valuable was the practical knowledge I gained throughout the program. The course offered a wealth of teaching techniques and strategies that I could immediately apply in my classroom. From lesson planning to classroom management, the insights provided have significantly improved my teaching process. I now feel more confident in my ability to engage students and create a positive learning environment. / Overall, I highly recommend the 120-Hour TESOL & TEFL Certificate from UNI-Prep Institute. The combination of well-organized content, easy-to-follow modules, and a mix of reading and video resources has made a meaningful impact on my teaching skills. It's an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance their teaching techniques!

TESOL Certificate Course at UNI-Prep Institute, and I highly recommend

I recently completed the TESOL & TEFL Certificate Course Information at UNI-Prep Institute, and I highly recommend it for two key reasons. As an educator balancing a busy life with work and family commitments, I appreciated the self-paced nature of this course. I was able to complete it in just two weeks, working at my own convenience. The course materials, including the videos and PDF notes, were excellent. The videos were both informative and engaging, with a presenter whose voice was pleasant and easy to listen to. The accompanying notes expanded on the video content with clear outlines and relevant examples, making the material easy to grasp. Each unit concluded with a quiz that focused on the topics discussed, ensuring that I fully understood the content. I appreciated being allowed to attempt each quiz twice, which relieved the pressure of achieving a perfect score and shifted the focus toward learning. Moreover, the absence of a final exam meant I could spend my time understanding the material rather than cramming for a test. Overall, I believe all teachers should consider taking this course, especially as our classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse. Gaining knowledge about teaching English to foreign students is an invaluable asset to the teaching and learning environment.

Fantastic if You Have an English Language Background

A perfect course if you've extensively studied English. You will not have to spend hours reviewing what you've already learned. I imagine other courses really start from the bottom-up (which would be helpful to those with non-English degrees). This would be redundant and wasteful if you've genuinely studied the English language already. The knowledge specifically for teaching is emphasized and I never felt my time was wasted. And certainly not my money.

Kashfa MirzaBangladesh · April 2024

Quick and easy!

The course was short but very informative. The videos were very help and easy to understand, as were the reading files. All the materials were well prepared; they were concise but used good examples to explain topics better. Personally, I found the additional tips for teaching and classroom activities quite helpful since this is will be first time teaching english professionally.

My first UNI-Prep course

I really enjoyed the UNI-Prep course. Being retired a year ago, I did not approach the course as a hobby, and the course itself did not let me take it as such. All the course units required my total engagement to reading them and successfully taking the quiz. It is very nice and helpful that the course has provided reference materials to each unit. I will make use of them. Landing an entry job is in my horizon. Thank you

Best site so far

I have completed a TESOL course from UNI-Prep. I found that the content they provide, as well as the materials that come alongside is really helpful for being a teacher, from teaching elementary level students to more advanced one.

Se Phine JoSouth Korea · September 2023

It was good experience and a challenge for me and I'm happy.

I mostly teach young students at the beginner level – rather at elementary school. The fact that the students don’t have the ability to read and write in English always add to the difficulty in teaching these students. The Younger beginners are also a fun group to teach, especially due to the fact that they tend to have more energy. The students also have a more open view and approach to English and thus the world. Their Young minds, keen on taking in the new information as the fun teacher coax them into learning as he plays. In teaching these students, one should always start with the basics of language; these include phonics, phonetics and the alphabet when the students have a different alphabet than English. In this case I can agree that the students love to learn the new alphabet, when there are cute and fun characters to explain the sounds and to show a new word. Pronunciation, punctuation and other harder topics of the language should always be practiced by repetition, writing and learning the spelling. The younger the students the more fun you can have in adding songs and crafts to the lesson. This also helps them to concentrate on the lesson for a bit longer than is usually seen in their normal classroom setting – this is my view, the classes I give are more on the active and almost crazy part. The students react quite fondly to the different games and less strict classes. Their ability to create and interact to the lesson is drastically higher. This amazes the normal teachers who teach in the strict Korean system. The classroom setting for the younger learners should allow the possibility for team work, this helps the teacher to investigate areas where the students struggle with, and what activities make the students think and react more. Also the more activities that force students into competition is done, the more reactive the students are to the learning of the new language. The teacher should also consider that the younger students have lower attention spans, so the more fun they have, the better they learn, thus if something seems like work the less receptive the student will be. Progress is a slow thing, and the more the students are stimulated, and as the time goes on the more the teacher can start to focus on adding a few new things to what have been learned. Also a teacher should always give praise to the students as this is their source of encouragement. In teaching older to adult beginners, one would find it harder, as the older the student the harder it is to take in information. Teaching older beginners is also fun; this means that the lessons don’t have to be “childish” and more appropriate to the age group being taught. The theories for younger learners also apply to this group. The lesson should be fun, and embracive to the students’ own surrounding. The activities and work papers can also be changed to suite the need of the older students. The teacher should try to get to know the students individually, as this will give him a set view or reason why the student want to learn English. In class the older students should be made more comfortable in an environment of groups or pairs. This will help them to cope more with the stress of learning a new language, when they know there are someone that also struggle with the same problems he or she does. So in a brief overview I can say that to add music, art pictures, fun activities and worksheets to the lesson would help to stimulate the learning process for the different beginner level students. The activities and lessons shouldn’t be to long and boring. Also the more body language, especially facial expression the teacher use in explaining the topic, the better the students will understand what is wanted form them

Susie KinsingerUnited States · June 2023

I was so pleased!

I was teaching English in the US and was desperately needing advice! Also faced difficulties with being a classroom teacher to students who didn’t know English very well! This course made me feel as though I had what it took to do it right and accomplish the goals! Very informative and clear with lots of practical advice that could be applied to both situations! Thank you!

First time completiing an international course

I enjoyed working on my own intative, the quick response to my queries and timely feedback. I took a month and two days to complete the course. The units was very user friendly with videos, material as well as additional resources needed to help me with teaching.

Kierstyn SutherlandUnited States · January 2023

Very informative and quick to complete!!

I completed this course in one-week! There are 10 units, you are able to read the PDF information documents and watch the accompanying video lecture (which never exceeded 20 minutes) in order to gain all of the necessary information needed for each unit. You then take a 5-10 question quiz after each unit. Once all 10 units are complete, you earn your certificate!!! This course was very informative and easy to follow along with. The extra PDF informational documents are very detailed. Lastly, you are also given PDF informational documents regarding next steps with updating your resume and applying for a job. I feel very confident and inspired after taking this course!

Straight forward online class

The program was easy to navigate and the interface worked well. I feel that the instruction was informative and gave me some insight into what is expected when teaching English to non native speakers.

I attend UNI-Prepare Institute’s 120-hour TESOL course

A Review of UNI-Prepare Institute’s 120-hour TESOL Course I am grateful to all the members of the UNI-Prep Institute for teaching and helping me accomplish my 12-hour TESOL course, which enables me to teach English as a foreign language in an achievable way. Moreover, the course fee is affordable. The course teaches me how to teach vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing effectively. The course shows me how to manage a classroom, plan lessons, and make assessments so as to conduct the class successfully. There are ten units in the curriculum. Each unit consists of a lecture, a lesson, and a quiz. First, I attend the lecture. The lecture gives me an overview of the contents, main ideas, and key concepts of the lesson in a condense explanation. Next, I read the lesson so that I can understand the contents, main ideas, and key concepts of the lesson in details. Finally, I take the quiz as a means to assess my learning attainment. As a result, the course provides for me with knowledge, methods, techniques, and skills how to teach learners and conduct a classroom effectively. I would like to recommend UNI-Prepare Institute’s 120-hour TESOL course to my family members, relatives, friends, classmates, and people who intend to take 120-hour TESOL course so as to teach English as a foreign language.

High quality TEFL program

This TEFL program by Uni-Prep is deeply informative and engaging. I learned all the important steps necessary to become an ESL teacher. It included ten units which comprised of how to implement correct teaching methods. I learned how to teach writing, grammar, and many other important topics. Each unit was substantial in length and gave me a lot of satisfaction. I also liked the quizzes that were provided at the end of each unit. Overall, not only did I gain knowledge but I actually enjoyed learning! I definitely recommend this TEFL program to all individuals who wish to teach English as a second language.

Denzel Anne DumasisPhilippines · June 2022

A great opportunity!

Taking this course was such a fun experience. It taught me things that will help me in my chosen career. You can choose to learn at your own pace so you will not risk any events in your own schedule. They will also provide you instructional materials and activities that I think are super helpful because then your cows will only be in the lecture itself.

Melissa LockwoodUnited States · June 2022

I learned a lot
