I came to Buenos Aires right after graduating college in the US, and taking the TEFL course at Buenos Aires TEFL Institute was seriously one of the best decisions I could have made. I wanted something hands-on, not another online course where you're just watching videos and taking quizzes. The instructors were super knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cared about helping us become confident teachers. The teaching practice with real Argentine students was probably my favorite part. You actually get to apply what you're learning instead of just reading about it. I also loved how personal everything felt. Our group really connected, and the whole experience was way more interactive than I expected. The job placement assistance was another huge plus, especially coming straight out of college and figuring out my next move. And honestly, getting to live in Buenos Aires while earning my TEFL certification made the experience even better. If you're a recent college grad looking to travel, gain real teaching experience, and open up opportunities abroad, I'd definitely recommend Buenos Aires TEFL Institute!

Nice teachers, I like the atmosphere. Recommend it to you'all, come visit this school , you will like it. A lot of events and outside activities, so there is an possibilities to practice. Great people and classmates here, from all of the countries around the world.

I started learning Mandarin from scratch ,because my wife‘s Chinese and I prefer to communicate with her family.After completed 35 online lessons with this school, I have seen measurable progress, so I‘ve extended my subscription.This is a well-organised and professional learning platform, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to study Chinese.

Hi Martina, we're so happy to hear you're loving the experience! 💙 Thank you for recommending our school to others. Your support inspires us to keep helping more people achieve their goals. 😊

I’ve been studying at this school over half year, and looking back at where I started, my progress is remarkable. I went from struggling with simple greetings to holding fluent conversations about work, news, and daily life. The structured curriculum, combined with regular assessments, ensures you never lose track of what you've learned. It is an invaluable investment in my language skills !

Hello dear raphael ! We're so happy to hear you're loving the experience! 💙 We feel very glad to know that you have seen your more improvements. Keep learning and shining! 😊

I had lots of fun on this trip I went with a friend we had a great experience. Our counselors were awesome. We went swimming in Italy and paragliding in Switzerland. Switzerland was probably my favorite stop. It was super beautiful and I would love to go back. I made lots of new friends and had an amazing time. I’m still in contact with some of the people I went on the trip with even though it’s been almost 4 months and I still talk to some from my trip last year. it was overall a great experience.

I'll be honest — the first week was rough. The language barrier hit me harder than I expected, and I remember standing in a supermarket in Shanghai completely lost, trying to figure out which bottle was shampoo. But that's exactly why I chose this. I wanted to be pushed out of my comfort zone, and GAC made sure I had support while I figured things out. My placement was with a business consulting firm, and my team was surprisingly patient with me. They'd slow down during meetings, write things out for me, and invite me to lunch even when I could barely keep up with the conversation. By week three, something clicked. I started understanding more, contributing more, and actually enjoying the chaos of it all. My manager even let me lead a small client presentation toward the end, which terrified me but ended up being the highlight of my time there. I left China with more than work experience — I left with a completely different mindset about what I'm capable of.

I spent 2 months living in London completing an internship in London for Business/Marketing, and I had the most amazing time! I had never really travelled much before with my family or anything growing up, but in 2025 I went to Europe for 3 weeks fresh out of high school with just my best friend. We started and ended the trip in London, and I knew straight away that London is a definitely a place I want to experience living in one day. I was super lucky I had such an amazing flatmate who I became super close with, and I also made another close friend at a lunch I went to on my 2nd day in London to meet some of the other interns. We all ended up hanging out together in London heaps, I went to Barcelona with one of them which was so much fun! I also got to see some friends from home (Melbourne, Australia) while I was in London which was amazing too. Towards the end of my time there, I even went to Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest with some friends from home which was incredible!! I stayed in Sheffield with my flatmate at her uni for my last weekend before going back to Australia, and got to go to Manchester with her too! Everyone at my internship was always super lovely and helpful throughout my time there, and I really learnt a lot which was amazing. Overall, I had an amazing time, and feel so much more independent and confident having to figure things out and adapt on my own. I'm really glad I did it, I had the best time and it really showed me I'm truly capable of anything I put my mind to!

I felt the course was of good value. I learned a lot of skills and the assessments gave me good practical skills, I can take into practice. The course was interesting as I was able to create lesson plans with the support and I was given links to many resources. The feedback was prompt to make amendments and I had enough time to complete the course.

Thanks for the feedback, Esther.

I found the communication extremely professional and to the point. The course was well understood and user friendly. I would recommend this course to any beginner teacher irrespective the country they live in, as it lays a solid foundation on how to teach learners. I am extremely satisfied and should have done this long ago. In South Africa we say: "VIVA TEFL!" Continue the excellent work and outstanding course.

The course is complex but well-structured; therefore I was able to manage it, even studying and working at the same time. It requires discipline, but it is worth the effort. From an international school they have just sked for my resume: I feel preparerò amd confident.
