“Overall I was happy with the 40-hr TEFL certificate program. I liked the introduction and demo videos for the various computer apps, but, though you may not feel that it's your job to ensure that we know how to use it, perhaps a simple assignment, creating a brief slide show or other function, using one of them, would be a good idea. Other than that, another small criticism that I would make is that I had hoped, after the course, to better assess the levels of my students. For example, some standard by which to measure their competence levels would help me know if they are on track. Sure, I could just use a text book, and figure out which tenses in which they have fluency, but I thought there might be more info on this.”

“Although I have been teaching for years, this course was useful and helped to better understand some different points in teaching I didn’t consider, for example teaching large groups. I really enjoyed the assignments as they challenged and encouraged me to keep on track. My tutor was super in giving me advice and the right feedback I needed. Thankful for Steven!”

“The course was challenging in a good way. I learnt a lot and feel confident to take on my first teaching assignment. Assignments were marked on time and I used teacher feedback on the 2 occasions I had to re-do my assignment to improve my plan. I found a slight drawback in negotiating the website. The main menu should be front and centre, highlighting topics, not 3 indistinct and small vertical lines at the very top right side.”

“Convenient and self-paced, The TEFL org was a great experience for me as I was moving and starting a new job and seeking to gain a new certification. Although it took me twice the time to complete the course than was allotted, I was able to get extensions and not feel overly stressed by mounting deadlines. A great option for those with busy lives!”

“Alex was awesome. Very detailed in feedback and provided additional insights when grading assignments. This helped immensely throughout the course. In terms of areas of improvement, I think some of the section intro videos for the TEFL method were unnecessary. They did not always contain content previewing what the upcoming content will cover, rather just intros that can be skipped.”

“The overall course was very good and challenging. You only have three chances on a final exam on the 200 hour course. The instructions state to contact someone at the support center if you have questions between the second and third try. It was not made clear this would only be one person specifically assigned to you, and thus it might take a day, or it might take a weeak, or they might never respond. This part of the course was very frustrating. Not being able to have a conversation except through email or chat when you think you understand a concept, but can't convey that in writing and need to talk it through is a downfall of the course. Otherwise the format is great.”

“Overall, I am grateful for everything TEFL offers. I appreciate that it is a self paced course, and that it's a 6 month investment, which feels much more "palatable" than embarking on a 1-2 year endeavor. I enjoyed the recordings of actual lessons being taught by TEFL tutors, as I happen to be an auditory AND visual learner, so it was really helpful to see things like a PPP lesson put into practice. I like that everyone gets assigned a tutor, as you have a touchstone throughout the process. Having said that, I'd have loved the opportunity to connect with someone "live" from time to time, to answer and/or clarify areas of confusion. I also found myself a bit frustrated with some of the Qs in the quizzes, as there were sometimes oddly phrased questions, that felt nebulous, or like a trick question. This wasn't ALL the time, but enough for me to take notice. Also, I'd have liked a larger maximum word count on the assignments, as it was hard to articulate my ideas fully, and I often spent an inordinate amount of time trying to rework things, simply to get the word count down. To that end, my time could have been spent more usefully. Lastly, something I find myself wanting now that I've finished, is the opportunity to "shadow" a TEFL tutor during a virtual session. I am someone who has a career outside of my interest in teaching English, and a great deal of my work is over Zoom and Google Meet, so I'd love to be able to see "live" what it looks like to teach English virtually. Perhaps -- moving forward -- being allowed to join a Zoom meeting btwn. a Tutor and a student would be a great option for recent TEFL grads.”

Hi Kate, Thank you for your detailed 4-star review! We're delighted to hear that you found value in the self-paced structure of our course and enjoyed the recordings of actual lessons. It's wonderful to know that our approach resonated with your learning style. We appreciate your suggestions for live interactions; we understand how beneficial that can be for clarifying any confusion during the learning process. Your feedback on the quiz questions is also helpful, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we strive to improve our materials. We’re always looking for ways to enhance our courses and will consider implementing this for our recently certified teachers, so we will certainly take this 'shadowing' idea into consideration. Thanks again for sharing your insights, and we wish you all the best in your ongoing teaching journey. Best wishes, The TEFL Org Team

“The TEFL course was hugely informative and makes use of plenty of resources to draw upon and the marking and feedback is very useful. It could sometimes perhaps use a bit more colour and some more visual stimulus just to maintain interest. Marking was generally very quick and handy, however sometimes rules aren’t always clear. For example, I had to pay for an extension while waiting for my last course to be marked as it hadn’t come through before my deadline. This was rather annoying!”

“Program was good. Iearned a lot. Few things : It was challenging to write an assignmet with limited words, espcially when you need to write a lesson plan. Some of the questions on the graded quiz were really confusing, some of them could have more than one answer correct. I think the tutor should have access for retake the quiz and can give them too. chat box was great and very helpful. Thanks for everything Yael Eisenstadt”
