“Really disappointed at the quality of customer care at what is supposed to be a learning support platform. It is the tiny details that make a difference in quality of support and essentially this is what is missing at tefl.org”

“Great course! The 120-hour combined course is broken up into 4 parts you complete at your own pace and a live zoom class where you present lessons and receive feedback from peers & instructor. You’re taught grammar rules and teaching methodology. I feel prepared to teach English abroad!”

“My experience was one of having been supported extremely well during the time I was with TEFL Org. Out of necessity, I was blessed with two tutors with the first one having to move on to a special project. In addition to the tutors, the support staff was amazing right off the top. They were either available to answer the phone or email immediately or responded soon after. And I communicated with the company by email and telephone. And they responded either within an hour or 2-3 hours.”

“I have recently finished a 120-hour TEFL course, and I highly recommend it to anyone who considers starting a career in the field of teaching English as a foreign language. All the materials are meticulously organised so that learning is both engaging and natural, videos of real classes are very useful, assignments are interesting and challenging, and tutors' feedback is always to the point.”

“The course is well organized. I love the possibility of having actual feedback on any assignments, and my tutor was available at all times. I would love the idea of having an online or telephone class implemented to the rest of the activities (I don't know if it is already active for other TEFL courses, but I think it would be great even for the 120-hour Premier online course)”

“The course had clear, divided modules on various relevant themes both theoretical and practical. Assessments were adequately challenging and used a range of cross course knowledge. Rewarding to have finished it and happy to say I’m immediately heading into a teaching position in Vietnam. And Wendy is my favourite character from the video observation course. 🙏❤️”

“Overall it is very good! A lot of great insights and reflections promoted! I enjoyed taking the course and think it was important to organize some thought. Just a kindly suggestion review: I feel like the course is outdated. It talks about a lot of resources but for example it doesn't mention on of the most important now a days for those who want solid virtual presence ( instagram ). By doing that it gives the impression that the material is a little outdated and should be actualized. But overall it is very helpful, and I would just adjust that little issue.”

“I recently completed The TEFL Org's online TEFL course, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The course material was well-structured, comprehensive, and easy to follow. The modules covered all the essential aspects of teaching English as a foreign language, including lesson planning, classroom management, and language acquisition theories. The interactive quizzes and assignments helped reinforce my learning and provided valuable feedback from the knowledgeable tutor. Thanks to The TEFL Org, I now feel well-prepared and confident to embark on my journey as an English teacher.”

“It took me about 2 months to complete the 120-hour TEFL course. The modules are relatively simple, it's the written assignments that took more time. Mr Thomas, my course tutor, gave constructive, insightful and encouraging feedback. Thank you very much for your time and effort. Also, I noticed that there are many resources are not up-to-date, such as the world guide, it is a 2021 version. I hope that TEFL Org would be kind enough to send me an updated one as I have made a monetary contribution for this course. Thanks a lot!”

“All in all a useful course and a very useful and recognized certificate. With some blind spots. (Which we all have. It’s okay. Really.) The TEFL Method is a rigid ESL structure that takes itself very seriously. There is no room in its dogma to admit or consider any other way of teaching English. As one winds their way through the course one is forced to be guided by TEFL’s inflexible rules, tediously and tirelessly laid out by the curriculum and reinforced by the Instructors and TAs. I found the homework feedback given to me by my TA Steve to be off putting and negative from the start, and after the first two assignments I stopped reading his responses altogether. (He began his second feedback to me thusly: “Do not do what you have written here”, which although admittedly has a certain amount of blunt humor, is unhelpful.) It was enough to know I passed the assignments and simply move on, without taking the time to read his feedback and take my lashes. He may have had some fantastic ideas from which I would have benefitted greatly. I wouldn’t know. The classroom videos of the course are excellent and illuminating. I enjoyed them and collected some good ideas. The website is buggy, but mostly functional. I often had to go back to a lesson and pretend to do it again for the Course to update it and mark it as completed. Upon completing a lesson, instead of moving me forward to the next lesson, the website would at times seem to freeze before taking me back to the main page of module, where I had to scroll down and find my correct lesson. A bit annoying. I am giving the 140-hour TEFL course 3/5 stars, because I did enjoy the material, whose subject matter (learning and teaching languages) I am passionate about. I did learn a lot. I just wish TEFL was more receptive to other ideas. For all its worthy insistence on Student Teaching Time, it felt like I was being preached at for 140 hours, including the 20-hour live module on Zoom, where questions were brushed aside, probably—and fairly—due to time constraints, and including my TA, who made it clear from the start that my class planning was to include only those ideas blessed in TEFL holy water. The TEFL Method is not so precious. There are many ways to learn a second language. There are as many ways to teach a second language. Humans learn things. It’s what we do. Alas, if you want the blessing of a recognized and renowned certification, you must enter the Church and take your lashes. Be sure to leave your own ideas and experiences at the Door.”
