“Overall course was great and well done, I liked mostly the video lessons and good examples on how to deliver the training in class. The principle of teaching English could have been a summary and not a lot of quizzes. Teaching large classes and telephone teaching also had lots of quizzes which could be improved as some of the questions were not clear.”

“I found the overall material quite interesting but I also found (for what I needed ) that lacked depth. Also, some of the tasks you were asked to do were not too explicit and I have noticed in the forums other students were not too happy about this too. Lastly, this is partly my mistake as I missed the first e-mail by my tutor, it simply got lost in my inbox but at the same time, I feel that overall it was a lonely journey and there was a lack of real support and interest from the tutor. Not once I have received an e-mail checking on my progress etc... maybe this should be specified when people buy the course.”

“Good! But hard to find the time if you’re writing thorough notes”

Posted 2 years ago

Hi Chloe, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you haven't had much time to continue with the course. You can also download your course work to read over or highlight, rather than take notes, although I appreciate taking notes can be preferred. If you would like more support or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. In the meantime, we wish you the best of luck with your course! Debbie

“I don't Recommend Tefl. Org. As a provider. First they are dishonest. When I first purchased the course.. It was advertised as on offer 50% off.. Until the end of January. So I encouraged my husband to do the course with me. I proceed to do the course for the next 6 months. Guest what every month it was on offer 50% off only valid until the end of the month. A little dishonest. I also discovered that after I completed the course and paid for it I lost access to the course. Unless I purchased an extension. I don't understand why a person has to pay for an extension.. The course was mostly videos to follow.. Tefl has a lot of possibilities but shop around and do your research. I have been dissapointed from day one.”

Hi Janesse, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you have been disappointed in the course. With more accreditation than any other provider, our qualifications are recognised internationally, so now that you have passed the course you will be able to embark on your own TEFL adventure! As with many companies, we do offer monthly sales. These are reviewed each month and adjusted or extended. Please be assured that you certainly do not have to buy an extension to access your completed course. I can see that you have since been in touch with our customer service team who have helped you with your course access, so we are happy to see this has been resolved. Should you have any further questions or comments please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. In the meantime, we wish you every success in your TEFL career! Debbie

“While most parts of the course are really clear some tests are a bit confusing because of the ay the questions are redacted. In some videos they will insist on one specific idea and then the correct answer will be the opposite on the test. Some other questions might be subjective or up for debate which makes getting a correct mark a matter of guessing the intention of the question and hoe to answer. I'd like to see more clarification on those tests and on the assignments which sometimes are also not clear about what you need to submit”

Posted 2 years ago

Hi Carmen, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. I'm sorry to hear that you felt some of the course was confusing. This is certainly something I will pass on as we will always endeavour to improve our courses further. If you ever have any course related questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to get in touch with your tutor who can help you through the course. Wishing you the best of luck with the remainder of your course, Debbie.

“I’m having real difficulty understanding the instructions of my assignments I have come across so far and the great amount of text does prevent me from understanding and focusing on the task. I emailed my tutor for help and his help I found too complex as it’s explained just like what the assignment explains. And I’d appreciate it if I can get a simpler and shorter description of the assignments’s tasks. So I’m stuck and can’t move on from my assignments as I haven’t understood at all yet the assignment. And I find one assignment confusing that what it tells me to do is numbered so as complex as I find it, its like asking me to do different tasks but its one in one from the numbers.”

“I just started the course. I finished the first module (nouns) of the grammar course. So far so good. I didn't rate TEFL higher at this point because I'm just starting out. I thought the video on class instruction should have included what age group the instruction was meant for as the concepts were difficult for the students to understand (at least that was my take on the video). I am grateful that my mentor Denise has already reached out to me! I look forward to what the next part of the grammar course has to teach me and when I finally get past grammar into the coursework that counts towards the certificate. Thank you.”

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for taking to time to leave this review! We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the course so far and that's great that Denise has been in touch! We are confident that you will enjoy the rest of your course and if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Best of luck with the remainder of your course! Debbie

“Hi there. Things have been going well so far. The only issue I have is that sometimes I am on a certain spot and it will randomly refresh to the home page. I then have to go find my place again. Kind of annoying. I don’t know if that happens to everyone or just me. Thanks.”

Hi Oksana, Thank you for your review. Thank you for letting us know about this as it is certainly something that should not be happening.

In the meantime, best of luck with the rest of your course! Debbie

“The course was well presented but the after course support in finding jobs is rated unsatisfactory. Similar TEFL training institutes are doing a better job of assisting me find teaching jobs, this is in spite of me not training with them. They have been more helpful and have sent referrals my way.”

“The course is well structured. However, I expected more depth in terms of the teaching methods. For example, PPP is not well illustrated, but it was emphasized as a key tool in the classroom. The methodology part is lengthy, parts of it have been repeated in following units. Shouldn't be there more elaboration on the psychological part of teaching students. Meaning, adults misbehave as well, there is no mention on how to deal with it !”

Hi Abdelhameed, Thanks for sharing your review with us. Your feedback regarding these different points of the course is very much appreciated as we will always endeavour to improve our courses further. Thanks again for your feedback and we wish you all the best in your future TEFL career! Debbie

“We had little to no interaction with your staff. I understand I a person who is to help me out with visa and job hunting. Never heard from this person. The resources need to be updated. It would be interesting to watch a complete class with actual students….beginning to end.”

Posted 2 years ago

Hi Susan, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. For our courses you are assigned an online tutor to help you through the course work. You would be required to look into visa processed and search for jobs yourself but we can certainly help with any queries you have surrounding these. Please get in touch if you have any questions about this. We will also support you with writing your TEFL CV, provide you with a reference letter from your course tutor (course dependent), as well as grant lifelong access to our TEFL Org Jobcentre, where you will be able to exclusively access many TEFL positions both internationally and online.

“I find the course to be good, but waiting up to 48 hours for an assignment to be graded and critiqued is absolutely ridiculous. 24 hours max is all we should have to wait. Hire more tutors if need be.”

Posted 2 years ago

Hi Cody, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. To ensure we deliver high quality, affordable courses, our tutors are assigned to a number of students. Also, due to the number of students that our tutors support who are located all around the world in different time zones, we find the 48-hours a more realistic and efficient timescale. I will certainly pass on your feedback regarding this however, as we will always look to improve our courses further. All the best, Debbie.

“I am slightly disappointed with the course so far but I haven't done very much yet. The real life classroom teaching was very lack lustre and I was extremely bored. Special occasions - I would hope my teaching experience would be more engaging. My son has completed the course and tells me that this is normal. I'll continue with the course and hope that it improves. Thanks for asking:)”

“Only emails providing some videos need to register by YouTube or Facebook which are not available here in China. As a result I can't share some valuable resources. If you provide those information by dingtalk or tencent,Zoom meeting,I think everyone can share together. Thank you.”

“Overall I thought the course was fine, although i’m not what use it is of yet. I thought the classroom lessons staged and the written tests more fictional than A proper teaching plan. Only my opinion and we know what opinions are”
