TEFL Courses & Certification in Middle East

Very informative job coaching seminar, especially for anyone just starting out in TEFL. Emos is an excellent communicator who covered a wide range of topics and answered any questions we had. The slideshow also included useful links to follow up on. Highly recommended for anyone newly qualified.

I used to work in Latvia for 15 years teaching English to young learners, companies and delivering personal sessions. Then I moved to Ireland and was offered a job of EFL teacher in one of the Dublin's language schools. It was a completely new experience since I had to teach adult students of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I found it very interesting and challenging as well. I had to get used to different behaviour, attitude, perception. I was very grateful to my students who taught me a lot of new stuff, shared their culture, traditions, lifestyle. I would say I have a great job being among people, teaching and learning at the same time.

I have been feeling a bit lost as far as TEFL job searching is concerned, so it was a huge relief to get all of my questions answered. I learned a lot about online job sites (good vs bad, what to look for, etc) and I feel much more prepared to start applying. Thank you so much !

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 got a morale boost. It was very heartening to hear other people in the same boat as me. And questions were asked that I hadn't thought of. I was surprised there were so few attendees. The presenter (Emos) answered questions ably.

Regarding the online call about finding employment in TEFL, Pretty much perfect, answers were answered to all questions and in detail going above and beyond. if I had to critique, I'd argue the section on how to find the job (e.g. linkedin) was a tad rushed, but still provided highly useful information (Only commented because it's useless if I only say it was good!). Emos was very professional with his explanations and with guidance for how to navigate the online and physical market.

As an experienced teacher, I found my TEFL Institute journey both rewarding and enriching. The course was well structured, engaging, and practical, offering fresh ideas and strategies that have enhanced my teaching practice. The webinars and tutorials were a standout feature, providing valuable insights, practical techniques, and excellent support throughout the course. A special thank you to Laura for her encouragement, and unwavering support, which made a real difference to my learning experience. I would also like to thank Olivia for the wonderful opportunity to lend my voice to the course. I highly recommend TEFL Institute to both aspiring and experienced teachers looking to develop their skills through a supportive, professional, and high-quality learning experience.

Premier TEFL offers a solid 300-hr course and the lessons are very educational—I went from knowing hardly anything about teaching language to feeling like I could actually organize English lessons someday. And I did indeed land a job while I was still working on my TEFL certificate to teach Spanish, because some of the principles of teaching English generalize to teaching other languages. One thing that really makes this TEFL program stand out is the amount of support you get. Anytime you have questions or doubts, you can e-mail the staff and they are very responsive. The tutors, Anya and Laura, are available once a week for a live Zoom session, but you can e-mail them anytime and they will answer all your questions, and if they don't have an answer, they will direct you to another staff member who does. The support staff, like Olivia and Lisa, are also very helpful for your course needs and even check in to see how you're doing. Overall, I was very pleased with the value of this course and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to teach English.

Emos was very kind and helpful during the webinar and I could tell he genuinely cared about helping us as much as possible. The topics and resources discussed during the meeting were spot on! I’ll be sure to keep his email on hand in case I need to ask more questions

Thank you Emos for the links and sharing your experiences with us. Your presentation was clear and to the point (slides & speech). You gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions, I never felt rushed and offered your professional opinion/advice to help us navigate our TEFL journey no matter what stage we are at. I look forward to your next session. I am also very grateful to the TEFL Institute for providing these on-going forums which they allow their alumni to attend. It helps to have a little community to bounce things off & to learn from others. Respectfully, Roxanne Anderson Highfiled Level 5 Teaching Online & One-to-One Graduate

Emos did a great job covering all the job coaching basics including sharing his real-life experience and helpful resources. Since our group wasn't too big, he could personally answer all of our questions in the Q+A at the end, which I really appreciated!

I would like to thank the coach Emos for a structured presentation of the session. This seminar was an excellent and highly practical experience. It provided a detailed information on the TEFL job search. The seminar provided highly valuable, up-to-date information on international TEFL market, specific hiring requirements, and current salary expectations.

I found the information session extremely helpful and Emos to prepare us for our future in applying for jobs as English teachers! I feel that I am more prepared now after attending the webinar and know more about the application process!

I am very grateful to the TEFL team, especially Olivia Klimczyk, who offered me a lot of help in time and in high quality as well. I have learnt a lot about teaching English in a logical, organised, strategical and serious but interesting way!

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’ve just completed the 10 hour virtual TEFL course and it was genuinely interactive from start to finish, plus really enjoyable. Michelle created such an easy, relaxed atmosphere and guided us as we worked in pairs to put together our own lesson plan. It was also lovely meeting so many great people over Zoom, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone considering a TEFL career. Michelle is a fantastic teacher and you will really have a great time on this course.

I did the 10 hour virtual TEFL course with Michelle Benson. It ran over two days and was really intense and interactive, and I honestly loved it. At first I was unsure how it would work through Skype, but it ended up going way beyond what I expected. I came away with new friends, a better understanding of the English language than I thought I had, plus loads of practical tips and pointers I can bring into my own classroom. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, you will not be bored for even a moment. I would absolutely do it again. Thanks for everything Michelle! :) Lisa

I just finished the 10 hour advanced certificate in TEFL classroom methodologies course with Michelle benson and I honestly loved it. I came away with loads of useful information that I will definitely be putting into practice from now on. Michelle’s way of teaching made everything feel relaxed, and her enthusiasm for TEFL really rubbed off on me. Thanks so much for the course, I would happily recommend it to anyone who is interested.

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!
