Online TEFL Courses

Coming from a background of business, It was a great experience and I learned a lot of practical skills in the field of education. I enjoyed taking my time and absorbing as much knowledge as possible.

Yes, this is a course for teachers new. The cost of the course is not high. There is much comfort in learning on the website linked for learning in online. For the professors who are making this, they are making a strong course where it is safe to learn.

I found this through AI but it was actually a great find! Lots of helpful text and some videos of people in classes in Asia. I was linked to a fancy new website to get me learning and it was fast and worked on my iPad.

As a trainee teacher, I have wanted to complete a TEFL certification, and I am so glad that I did so with the TEFL Academy. The team and tutors are really supportive, and it fit really well with completing my university work on the side. I also found the course to be great at explaining all areas for those who aren't going into teaching, as well as supporting your pedagogy and approach to lesson planning and supporting students in the classroom. It is definitely an amazing experience and one that I would recommend to do especially if you are in teaching or thinking of going abroad, or just to develop your professional skill set.

Thanks for the recommendation, Natashia!

I would like to mention Sean who encouraged me throughout my Practical Teaching week. I appreciate him sharing his confidence that I could finish the week well. I am greatful for his experience and guidance.

As a partner of The TEFL Academy, we’ve had the opportunity to welcome teachers who completed their TEFL training with them, and we’ve been very impressed with the preparation they receive. The course provides teachers with a solid foundation in both teaching knowledge and practical classroom skills, giving them the confidence to step into real teaching environments. Our teachers have come to us well-equipped with useful techniques for lesson planning, classroom management, engaging students, and adapting their teaching to different learners and levels. From our experience, The TEFL Academy does a great job of preparing teachers for the realities of teaching English, and we’re happy to recommend the course to anyone looking to start or develop their teaching journey.

Thanks so much for this feedback. This is the ultimate goal of The TEFL Academy, to prepare our students to be great teachers for English students and employers like yourselves.

The service provided by the TEFL Org team was impeccable. They covered most of my queries, but then it was hard to find relevant jobs for me in my city. Not really their fault when they're not a job application website. As for my supervisor, I appreciate how direct yet positive he is to me after all the assignments and is always open to helping me in becoming the best version of an English teacher. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to change career paths!

I’m glad I chose this course. The 120 hour TESOL was very informative and had lots of practical application opportunities. Though I payed very little I got a tremendous amount from it. The later units took everything even deeper. The certs are pretty.

I love how interactive and fun the courses were. Everything was laid out and it made sense. I’m really glad I signed up for this program. I’m ready to put my newfound skills to use. I am currently working the top-up courses to expand my knowledge.

Thanks for the feedback, Christian. It is great to hear you had fun completing your course.

The course was really interesting and I learnt a lot, a lot of it were things I have never learnt before. It just sometimes challenging trying to submit things. But in general the portal was user friendly and they got back to you quickly.

Thanks for the feedback, Keara.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and I am excited to go abroad and teach. Thank you TEFL Academy for helping me in building a global teaching career. I would recommend TTA to anyone wanting to achieve their TEFL certification.

Thanks so much for the recommendation.

Completing my Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language with The TEFL Academy has been a valuable learning experience for me. The course helped me develop a much better understanding of lesson planning, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, classroom management and how to approach teaching learners at different levels. I particularly appreciated the structured nature of the course and the practical assignments, which encouraged me to think carefully about how lessons should be prepared and delivered. The feedback I received also helped me identify areas where I could improve. Completing the qualification has increased my confidence and motivated me to pursue opportunities to teach English internationally. It also contributed to my interest in developing practical English-learning materials, including my own REAL-LIFE ENGLISH educational project. I am now looking forward to putting what I have learned into practice, gaining professional classroom experience and continuing to develop as an English teacher. Overall, I am grateful for the knowledge and foundation that The TEFL Academy has given me at the beginning of my TEFL career.

Thanks for the feedback, and best of luck with your TEFL career.

Daunting at first, the course became easier to follow as I went through the first two units. As I proceeded through the course material, I found that setting aside a routine, regular and consistent studying time made it easy for me to absorb information. I notice this as I was going through the unit tests with little effort than when I started. I also found the course informative and educational, exposed to the of value of communicative English and without the use of a dictionary. The course introduced me to the teaching method of eliciting as I was used to the method of lecturing.

Thanks for the great feedback!

I had the privilege of completing the 10-hour TEFL Practicum course with Michelle Benson and it was truly incredible. Michelle is an outstanding, knowledgeable and passionate teacher. Over the 2 days, she made every session engaging, interactive and very practical. She has a wonderful way of breaking things down into simple and understandable concepts. I learned so much, both theoretically and practically, about how to plan and deliver engaging and effective English lessons online. I now feel fully confident and open-minded to start my journey as an online English teacher. Thank you Michelle for such an inspiring and impactful course. I highly recommend her to anyone taking the TEFL course.

The course was very good, challenging and informative. Great video demonstrations and quizes. The assignments were very helpful and my tutor was very effective in his support and guidance. I highly recommend this course to others.

So, I've just finished my Level 5 TEFL Course 168 Hours and I must say it was absolutely amazing, very informative lots of resources and the whole team are great! If you need support they respond very fast and try to help as much as they can. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!

Thanks, Curtis. We really appreciate the recommendation.

I had recently completed my PGCE to teach highschool English and decided to complete my TEFL for a further advantage. What I learnt wasn’t anything new but it has definitely provided some extra knowledge and implementation tools that my PGCE did not. The support staff is also excellent.

Most professional, encouraging and enlightening course. The tutors are extremely supportive and concise in their feedback. I am now well equipped to make this career a resounding success. Thanks to the TEFL Academy.

Thanks, Wendell. Best of luck with your teaching career.

I took this course with Michelle Benson and it was absolutely worth waking up way before the sun. I’m currently redoing my TEFL certification as it’s been several years since I’ve taught and the first time around I did it with an organization that didn’t offer this “in-person” option. I’m really glad that I took this as even though I have teaching experience, getting to actually practice creating a lesson designed for learners that were different from the ones I taught, and then getting feedback as well, was extremely helpful in rebuilding my confidence. Although a lot of that is due to Michelle’s instruction as not only is she knowledgeable, but she clearly loves what she’s doing and because that comes through it made it much more comfortable to actually engage and ask questions when we needed to. Honestly if she did another “in person” class on a different subject I’d once again wake up at 3am just to take it.
