an unexpected technique

I was taught a different technique of teaching English. Students are exposed to learning English not through theory, but through practice. They are challenged to use English. I did not expect this didactics. Students are directly confronted with English, they are put face to face with English. Little by little, they begin to feel the need to know as much English as possible in order to be able to use it in situations specially created by the teacher so that students are stimulated to use English very naturally.

Very Informative and Well Structured!

I've learned so much from this course! The units and assignments are well structured with clear step-by-step instructions. The online interface is quite easy to navigate, and I appreciate the multitude of resources with activities and suggestions! I also appreciate having access to the course material for future reference. As a veteran Spanish teacher, this course has helped me gain a new perspective on language instruction and acquisition. I do feel that this course is geared towards experienced teachers that are looking for an additional certification to teach English abroad. If you have no teaching experience, you may struggle with some concepts and require assistance with the assignments.

Beautiful Intentionality

What made this course exceptional for me is the step-by-step intentionality of all the topics and courses covered. The promptness of the lecturers and how it feels like each trainer simply holds one's hand through the journey.

Amazing experience

I’ve had an amazing experience with the TEFL ACADEMY. I have completed the Level 5 Course, which delivered exactly what I was expecting: great insides on teaching, lots of interactive exercises and lots of challenging questions. The assignments were on point, encouraging the usage of the material that has been taught. I had support throughout the course if I needed, and when I didn’t know something I could just open a ticket and I’d get a response from someone in maximum 2 days. I loved it, I definitely learned much more than I thought I would do from a self-paced course.
I’m now taking 3 more top-up courses, definitely worth it. 💕

I Had an Excellent TEFL Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed my TEFL Academy experience because it was very well structured and presented, which made the curriculum easy to follow and understand. The interface was very user friendly.

I appreciated learning the specific PPP lesson plan format. Having been a high school English teacher, I don't remember receiving such a specific lesson plan training.

I also very much appreciated having the the ability to determine my own schedule, or lack thereof, and the affordable cost of the course.

My decision to utilise The TEFL Academy proved to be a great choice.
The online TEFL course was well structured, and offered many useful resources.
The assignments requirements were well presented and the TEFL assignment markers were amazingly helpful and honest. The end of assignment feedback provided good motivation for continuece of my studies.
Overall, I am completely satified with my decision to study the TEFL online course and I highly recommend the company for their dedication and fantastic approach to service their clientele.

Fantastic five star course recommended !

I really enjoyed completing my Level 5 TEFL Diploma with The TEFL Academy. The course was clear, well‑structured, and easy to follow, with each section broken down into manageable steps. The examples and activities made everything feel practical and helped build my confidence as I went along.
I didn’t really need to use the support team, but it was reassuring to know the option was there if I ever got stuck. The platform itself was simple to navigate, and the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish. I’m really glad I chose this course — definitely a five‑star experience!

My experience with the Tefl Academy

My experience with the Tefl Academy was honestly the best.The course was so helpful and practical in terms of understanding and gaining knowledge on how to apply what I have learnt in reality.My assignments which were only 2 were marked and brought back to me with feedback on time. The company has great communication and you get help whenever you ask for assistance promptly. All in all enrolling with The Tefl Academy was the best decision I made in terms of acquiring a Tefl and I would highly recommend it to anyone.It is a reputable company that is internationally recognised.
