TEFL Courses & Certification in Western Europe

Taking part in the Thailand programme was a memorable experience and gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture while gaining teaching experience. I enjoyed working with the students, meeting other participants and exploring local areas outside the organised activities. One of my favourite memories was unexpectedly making friends with a local at a 7-Eleven, who drove us back to our hotel, recommended places to visit and even had a karaoke session with us in the car! Moments like this made the experience feel special and showed me how welcoming people could be. The programme helped me step outside my comfort zone and develop my interpersonal skills. I would recommend it to anyone who is open-minded, willing to learn and keen to experience a different culture.

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.

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.

I had an amazing experience in Thailand and would definitely give the trip five stars. The programme offered a great balance between teaching, experiencing Thai culture and having the opportunity to explore such a beautiful country. Everyone involved was welcoming, friendly and supportive throughout, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I made some unforgettable memories, met incredible people from different backgrounds and learned so much during my time there. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone considering it, and I’m extremely glad I decided to take part!

I found this teaching course particularly useful after completing my level 5 level English teaching diploma. The course content and administration were of high quality. Similarly, the teaching methods taught by Michelle Benson, really helped me to join the dots by putting theory into practice. Having just had a baby, this course has given me the boost I needed to pivot to a new career more confidently.

I had no idea programs like this existed, and I am glad that, after doing research, I found TEFL Pro. They are amazing! They provide everything you will need to learn in videos and activities. They are always there to help if you need it, and you write posts when completing a module. I have already recommended my friends back in California to this program. Most of them are excited or say that it feels "too good to be true," which I thought the same thing until now. TEFL Pro gives you everything you need and will help you even after completing the program. :)

This course was very enjoyable and beneficial. Michelle Benson is an excellent tutor who immediately puts you at ease. She is full of knowledge and experience and she shared lots of tips and advice with us in her fun and friendly sessions. A shout out to the lovely ladies in the group too, who also made this a great weekend. I feel very fortunate to have spent some time with them.

I have found this course useful for making this very daunting transition to teaching English overseas into something less daunting. I feel much more aware of my blind spots walking into a TEFL interview or first job position, and feel like the course provides a solid foundation for lesson planning and classroom management. I look forward to receiving the placement assistance that is offered now that I am at the end. As a working adult with my own business, I found the flexibility to be unmatched by any other product yet still providing the solid foundation I was looking for. Thank you TEFLPros!

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 !

The teachers at the school I worked at were absolutely lovely and treated us so nicely from the very beginning. Receiving such a warm welcome from them and being shown so much love throughout the entire trip made the whole experience so much better. Going camping with the teachers was one of the highlights of my overall experience, and of course teaching the children was also amazing.

The 120-Hour TEFL Certification was an excellent learning experience. The course was well-structured, informative, and comprehensive, covering important areas of teaching English as a foreign language. I particularly appreciated the practical strategies, clear explanations, and useful resources that can be applied in real classroom settings. The course helped strengthen my understanding of lesson planning, classroom management, teaching methodologies, and effective ways to engage learners with different needs and abilities. I found the flexibility of the course especially helpful, allowing me to work through the material at my own pace while still gaining substantial knowledge and practical skills. Overall, this certification has added value to my professional development and increased my confidence as an educator. I would definitely recommend the 120-Hour TEFL Certification to anyone interested in teaching English or expanding their teaching qualifications.

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.

The teaching practicum with Michelle Benson was great. The material was succinct and loaded with various ways to teach English as someone who is not new to teaching, but new to teaching a language. Michelle made the experience fun as well as informative. I also appreciate her encouraging words since I was actually quite nervous at the start.

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.

Excellent, friendly and informative session by the tutor Michelle Benson. From the very start to the end, the class was very fun to be and she made us believe we can do it. Thanks for being an excellent tutor, Michelle.

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
