“I provided some feedback to your colleague Fiona this morning who explained that her manager would follow up with me. I assume this will be personal and not a generic format like this. Then again, that seems a common theme with this company.”

Hi Paul, Thank you for posting a review. I am sorry that you have felt that our replies to you have been generic, it is certainly not our intention. We do have automated emails that are sent though, such as our request for feedback. I can see that Fiona had forwarded your detailed feedback to our manager who has since replied to you. We certainly appreciate all feedback as this helps us to improve our service. I can also see that your certificate was posted early as requested, so hopefully this will be with you soon. Thank you again for your feedback. I wish you a safe journey and best of luck in your TEFL career! Debbie

“Hello Alan, I have done so far the gammar course and it was not as i expected. Before i joined the course it was written that a tutor would be helping me, and after i joined, i have received an email saying that i have to buy grammar books and teach myself by myself. Thanks”

Hi Marwan, We are sorry that your experience at TEFL Org hasn't match your expectations so far. Our grammar course is a self-study course, though you can certainly contact the support team with any questions regarding this. We do recommend Grammar books as well, though these are not essential to complete this course. You can be sure that your tutor will be available for help in your other modules as well. Best of luck with your course! Debbie

“Very disappointed with the online live sessions. They’re a repeat of what the modules that you have to go through are. In 30 hours of live sessions I found 15 minutes important and of value. I think you should rethink how the online course is thought. The teacher was good however the material that she goes through is taught in the online courses. I’d find it a lot more informative if there was more emphasis on actual teaching and how to teach instead of explanation of what English consists of (grammar and tenses). Very disappointed for how much money the course costs. Wouldn’t recommend it.”

Hi Barbara, Thank you for your review and we are sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations of this course. Our live sessions are a teaching practice course to make use of what you've learned online and help build confidence to deliver a lesson. I will certainly pass your feedback on however as we are always looking to improve our courses further. Again, thank you for your feedback. Debbie

“Unfortunately I did not manage to complete the last assignment - I tried twice and got some feedback which really didn't help me and I bought an extension and tried again to get help from other people - I had sent a few e-mails to tutor who said she never got them and then I ran out of time. Disappointing as I got as far as last assignment just fine and I know I could teach a class”

“I enjoyed the course however it was mostly about using various online platforms. There was very little in the way of how to teach, what to teach, the basics of teaching a subject is subject knowledge. Some of the people in my online group couldn't put a grammatically correct sentence together even though they are native speakers, even their presentation was full of errors . I put huge effort into ensuring my lessons were relevant, engaging and full of learning opportunities. If I had known that I could just show my face, fumble with technology and present any old thing I could have done the same. The fact that these people "passed" is disappointing as it weakens my qualification and does not show how much effort I put into it. Janet Poole Sent from my Huawei phone”

Thank you for posting a review. I can see that you enrolled on our Teaching English Online Bundle – this course focuses on how to set up and promote yourself as an online teacher. It also helps students to practice their teaching skills. To delve into how to teach and what to teach, this is covered in one of our full courses, such as the 120-hour Premier, rather than a specialised course. We are sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations of this course. Your feedback helps us improve our service and this has certainly been passed on. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Again, thank you for your feedback. Debbie

“Hello Alan, I was fine with the Grammar module, but on my second module: methodology I find there is not enough depth in the teachings to understand new concepts. Like for the PPP quiz I find myself searching on the internet for other resources to be able to understand better this new concept. So no, I am not very satisfied with the course.”

“Hi Alan, I believe there needs to be access to the tutors when students struggle. Recently, I struggled with an assignment twice and although I am getting support I feel it is not enough. I’m also using the forum to understand other students view and feel they are also struggling”

“I had trouble with the booking online to start with but the gentleman on the phone was very helpful and efficient. On receiving communication of the courses being cancelled, mine included, I asked information. I explained that I can not reschedule or take online lessons. It seems because of this I have been forgotten about. After numerous attempts at phoning but to no avail. I do understand that it may be a busy period but I would like to know what happens next. The 2 stars are for the kind gentleman that initially booked the course.”

“Not very good. Tedious videos, pointless quizzes, lazy feedback on assignments. Heavy focus on one particular structure for teaching a class, little to no focus on getting to know students or fostering engagement. In the video examples the teachers are condescending to the adult students. They act as though they are teaching children. Also, I don’t want to see ads offering 50% off the course I paid full price for, while I’m in the course! Outdated content, there should be an online teaching module rather than telephone teaching.”

“The course itself was good - well laid-out and informative. But trying to get the certificate has been a nightmare. I get the feeling that the person I've been in communcation with is just saying anything he can to get rid of me, without having to actually send out the certificate. "It's already been sent out." "I'll send it off tomorrow." Don't believe it!”

“I think the online teaching course I did was put together before teaching online became a neccesity as it is now. I learnt nothing about the practicalities of teaching online. I expected tutorials on how to effectively use platforms such as Zoom, how to teach large classes online, and demonstration classes would have been very useful. I do not even remember what topics the course covered such was its irrelevance to what I actually am trying to do with regards to teaching. I see that you know have what seems to be an upgraded course for online teaching that does claim to cover some of the points I mentioned above. I do not mean to be too critical, and as I said, I believe this was put together before all the bells and whistles of online teaching were seriously consodered. What would really impress me from you, would be a free invite to attend this new course so that I may actually learn something. Any chance?”

“Disappointing course on the whole. I expected the opportunity to be able to interact directly online with either a tutor or prospective student in a real online class situation. I think this is something you should consider for the future. A lot of the technical information is available out there via google and part of the course tends to state the obvious.”

Hello Steve, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your course, it's our aim to deliver the best in online TEFL training. We do offer courses that include live online interaction with your tutor and fellow TEFL Org students. These sessions - delivered through Zoom - are included in all of our virtual classroom and combined courses, as well as our Online Teaching Practice course. Kind regards, Alan, TEFL Adviser

“I have been taking the classes for a while. the fact that you are only exposed to one class and level of English is a mammoth oversight. I would not recommend the course to anyone”

“A few years ago I completed the 120 hour online course and was very happy with this - I would have given a rating of at least "good". However, I was rather disappointed in the 20-hour course about teaching English online. It seemed like pieces of information quickly cobbled together and the only difference between reading information and doing the course was the odd quiz with really obvious answers. It felt rather disjointed. I would have liked to see some sample video lessons to guide me as the course progressed.”

“I had taken a 120 hr course last year and was very happy to complete it, and please with the course content. there was a mail delivery problem with my certificate and when I requested a resend, I was told I would have to pay a fee. Very disappointing as the paper certificate is very important. This year I decided to take advantage of a sale and purchased a 20 and 30 hr course. I did not know I had to start them simultaneously. I was notified by email of the due date of my 20 hr. course, but not my 30 hr. course, so the latter lapsed. I was told (rather condescendingly) I would have to pay an extension fee that was nearly 50 per cent of the sale price! And no discount was offered. I was very disappointed with the program by this point and have not finished the course. I am looking to other options. I feel I was duped and as a returning student was greatly off put by these policies.”

“You want my opinion, right? In short, this course failed to motivate me to become an TEFL Teacher. The videos were lackluster, inefficient and mundane, the quizzes were so dull and obvious that you could answer them correctly without watching any videos or even reading the questions! And the grammar course is such a sad joke. Not only it gives little clue on how to deliver this always tricky area, but all it does is a continuum of basic grammar tests for us teachers, as if knowing grammar is the same as knowing how to teach grammar. But worst of all, I don't see how these courses bring me closer to landing that TEFL job (other than by providing the mere certificate), since I could not even get a reply from my so-supposed tutor about job-seeking guidance. I'm still waiting for that email response. I honestly feel I've wasted my money and my time here, and I would not recommend this agency.”

“The content is clearly laid out however there are a number of things that I found unsatisfactory about this online experience: There are several acronyms which I find difficult to fully grasp as these seem to be introduced all at once. I do not feel equipped to teach grammar having completed the online units and do not feel that I have developed in terms of being a teacher of English as a second language on the basis of completing the course. I found the videos showing teaching examples were tedious to watch and slow to progress. The end of unit quiz does not often feel like a test of knowledge when English is the first language - the questions could be answered by someone who has not completed the content based on their use of English as a first language.”

“Not very exciting”

“The website is slow. Had a lot of difficulty with the quizzes. Very slow in response and often times recorded the wrong answers thus making me retry the quizzes again and again. Sometimes the site freezes in the middle of a quiz. Very frustrating.”
