TEFL Courses & Certification in Mexico

I experienced an eye-opening job coaching session with Emos. The information that he provided on the job opportunities that are available in various countries, and his personal experiences, were really helpful. I have started my teaching journey already and I look forward to a more rewarding teaching career. Thanks, Emos & Premier TEFL!

I feel prepared to teach better. Completely exceeded my expectations – I asked for it, and I received opportunities for extra practice – A million thanks! The trainers met my expectations. Excellent. My opinion of Guadalajara is: where do I start? Safe, super people, gorgeous architecture, great weather, not polluted, etc. The deciding factors in choosing ITTO were location + affordable. ITTO staff are wonderful. Office staff are personable, professional, and funny! Faculty is top-notch. Thank you!

I feel prepared to teach after having taken this course. The trainers met my expectations. The backup services and administration were excellent. The deciding factors in choosing ITTO were the in-person classes and location. My opinion of Guadalajara is that I love it. My message as someone who has taken the course is that it’s cool.

I learned many new things and gained new skills. I feel prepared. Both trainers bring their own knowledge and assistance to help students. The backup services and administration were excellent. My opinion of Guadalajara is that it’s amazing to see so many things and eat amazing food. ITTO offers a month of teaching practices and amazing people who guide you along the way. I would recommend it if you are looking to work as an ESL teacher.

The course trained me to be an effective EFL teacher. The course was described as intensive with lots of opportunities to practice with real EFL students. I learned new teaching strategies and skills. I am better prepared to teach in front of new students. The observations of other classes were very helpful. My teaching was evaluated fairly, and I got good feedback. Trainers wanted us to succeed and provided a safe and engaging classroom environment. My opinion of Guadalajara is that it is the best city I have been to.

Covered everything I expected and more. I wasn’t expecting it to be so intense, but I’m glad it was. 10 practices gave me plenty of experience in an unfamiliar environment. The practical training met my expectations. It was really useful and gave me a lot of feedback that was constructive. Trainers were amazing, personable, and unbelievably knowledgeable. My opinion of Guadalajara is that it’s an amazing city, very clean, and lots to do. My message as someone who has taken the course is that if you have any doubts or worries, these will disappear quickly, and you will not regret this.

The course met my expectations. Intensive should be in all caps. I found the segment on how to teach online enjoyable and useful. It opened my horizon to attempt online. The practical training surpassed my expectations. My opinion of Guadalajara is that it’s scenic, calming, open.

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.

I ordered a Hard Copy certificate and it took longer than expected to get sent out. I could not get through to anyone on the phone or by email, which I am putting down to COVID Lockdown and the office being closed. As soon as I used the Chat, Kate was very helpful and told me the status of my order straight away. I have given 4 stars purely because contacting them by phone and email was so hard, but the chat feature is excellent, so try that first if you need help.

I’ve just finished the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about signing up. Everything was clearly structured, well planned, and really straightforward to follow. I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but Kate had me, and everyone else on the course, feeling comfortable almost straight away. We started with a few warmers so we could get to know each other, and I honestly think that made it easier for everyone to relax and fully take part in every part of the course. Kate stayed professional throughout, but she also made sure it was enjoyable and never too heavy, so it didn’t feel like being overloaded with information you could not keep up with. I genuinely can’t rate this course highly enough for anyone interested, it is excellent and completely worth doing.

I genuinely cannot recommend the Level 5 Advanced Diploma enough. Everything is explained in a clear, bite sized format, so it is easy to take your time and work through it at whatever pace suits you. On top of that, you come away with loads of resources that you can keep for future lessons or use to dig deeper when you are studying and preparing. I would also suggest the 30 Hour Teaching English Online, the 30 Hour Teaching Young Learners, the 30 Hour Teaching Advanced Grammar, and the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies courses. In the Classroom Methodologies course, Michelle Benson is so kind and straightforward that you finish it feeling like you are genuinely ready to walk into a real classroom. Altogether, these courses have left me feeling fully prepared to teach English to actual students.

Hi everyone! Since July, I have completed my third TELF Institute course, which were the 180 hours, TELF for Teaching Business English and Teaching English for Exams. I honestly cannot recommend these TELF courses enough. I found them demanding, yet still really fun to work through. Everything is presented in a way that makes sense, and the quizzes and assessments help the content actually stick. Even though I already teach foreign languages, I have taken so much from these courses and now I feel properly prepared for what is next, because I am hoping to teach in Spain or South America. The TELF courses have given me a great deal. If you are thinking about doing one, just do it. You will not regret it! Thanks TELF Institute, Richard

I had a great time doing the 120 hour TEFL course. Everything is set up in a clear way, and each module breaks things down so it is easy to understand. I would definitely suggest it to anyone who is just getting started with a career in teaching English.

Everything in the course was presented clearly, and the layout made it simple to work through. I liked that it combined videos, audio recordings, and reading sections rather than relying on just one format. In each module, they also pointed to extra resources and suggested further reading if you wanted to go beyond the basics. All in all, I would recommend doing the 120 hour TEFL course with this company.

I’ve just enrolled on the Level 5 Diploma and, honestly, it feels thorough while still being nicely compact and clearly laid out. The course gives you lots of resources, plus links out to other sites, which really help build your understanding of the topic. You are given all the tools needed for the quizzes and assessments, and there is tutor guidance along with support on Discord if you get stuck. I also completed the 10hr Methodologies Course with Michelle Benson and found her so motivating. She showed us what delivering a lesson looks like, guided us through a foreign language class, and shared loads of practical advice from what she has seen firsthand. In the online session, each of us had a 5 minute slot to practise teaching, and she gave feedback after everyone had a go. I would absolutely suggest these TEFL courses to anyone considering teaching English to speakers of other languages.

I only recently began with TEFL Institute Ireland after spending time looking into which TEFL course provider was the right one. Sórcha really helped out by giving me a call, talking me through the different course options, and pointing me toward the best fit. Would definitely recommend!

I did the 120 hour TEFL course through the TEFL Institute of Ireland and they were always easy to reach and really supportive the whole way. Even before signing up, they took the time to answer all my questions. After I registered, I ended up with a great deal, felt confident I was with a trustworthy provider, and I was also given the 30 hour Teach Online course at no extra cost. The staff were so lovely. I would definitely recommend them.

I think the course is solid. The materials are useful, and the grading turnaround is quick. Unfortunately, the customer service is terrible. Most of the time the chat is not even staffed. I sent messages over a few days and never got a response. They have no shortage of cheerful marketing emails, but the moment you need help with an actual issue, the experience is totally different. In the end they do sort it out, just not anywhere near when you need it. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time.

Hi. I just wrapped up my 10 hour virtual class and honestly, my teacher Michelle Benson was the absolute best. She was so helpful and really down to earth. She made every lesson entertaining, I could not take my eyes off her. I was learning while having fun at the same time. I do not regret signing up for my 300hr course at all. The TEFL Institute also has an amazing support team. Thank you guys

I finished the 10 hour practical teaching course on Saturday the 22nd of September. It turned out to be a really enjoyable day, with plenty of interaction and a lively pace that kept everything moving. In my opinion, doing this before heading abroad is a must. Michelle is such a fantastic teacher and she keeps you totally engaged. One of the most useful parts was when she delivered a half hour session in another language, which really showed you what it feels like to be a complete beginner trying to learn english. It gives you a real understanding of your students and why empathy matters so much. From my very first questions about being a more mature tefl teacher going overseas, Kate has been lovely to deal with, and now I cannot wait for my cambodian adventure. The company comes across as genuinely professional and upfront, and I would happily recommend that anyone speak with Kate, Katie and Michelle if they are thinking about travelling and teaching abroad, or even here in Ireland.
