“I think starting off with the grammar module makes the course heavy going. I think the assignments should be made easier or you should get help from the tutor. He should look over your work before you submit it for marking”

“Very interesting and useful course all round. I think the feedback and guidance could be a little clearer for students learning from home.”

“I find guidance for someone new limited ie which online modules should be done in which order would have helped. I also find the marking inconsistent.”

“Some things still need to be done. Im talking about some technical things and the site interface. There are some issues with the video player, for instance. Another thing I don't really like is in those video lessons, the teacher is the one who's wearing a mic. Thus, you can't hear anything the students are saying. My phone is Samsung A50 2019. Mostly doing the tests there.”

“The teaching course is ok so far although some videos have poor sound quality. Having booked the course from France and used my British debit card I was charged the cost in Euros instead of £, incurring extra charges ! The course offered a discount if booked within a short period of time but the "sale" seems to be ongoing which feels like a marketing trap...”

“so far it is just ok. The feedback on the quiz is non existent besides you got it right. That is not feedback. Some of the samples used do not really make sense to me. I think the examples used are worded strangely.”

“Having started the online course I believe that section is very helpful and something I wish to finish and enjoy. The weekend session where a group of us met was not what I expected. I was disappointed in the decorum of the teacher who lost their cool with our group a few times and the information given was things I had already been fortunate enough to do. This in my eyes was a section which has put me off of doing TEFL just due to how it came across and how disengaging it was.”

“I have not started the on-line course yet, which is interesting as I'm usually a keen student. It may help if the course was in short chunks and encouraged to get started.”

“I disagree with anonymous ! I'm really enjoying Kirsty's teaching lessons, Joe's also. They have such a good way with students. Kirsty's spot on with her explanations of teaching with kids. I would love to come close to her teaching ability !”

“I purchased 2 exactly the same tefl courses for my daughter and myself and this caused lots of confusion at tefl end,as my daughter needed her own student number and the course sent to her email. I do feel that the system for these circumstances should be clearer. It's since been sorted. However she doesn't receive any tefl emails or job offers as I do almost every day. To help her have a clearer picture of the various job offers around the world,and to build her confidence this would be useful. The other frustrating thing for me was that your office hours are not at all flexible...bog standard 9 to 5pm is very outdated and needs a serious overhall.... The UK does not run on a 9 to 5pm for most people as I work 9 to 5pm myself with no phone access at that time ,it was hard to discuss the problem that I had , and resolve it. It's very disappointing, when no one is available early mornings or evenings even once a week. I can't be the only student who has this difficulty. Thank you.”

“I appreciate how kind everyone at TEFL .Org UK is. The layout of the course site is very easy to navigate and all content is readable. The set up was very easy, and I appreciated how the site kept me updated on my progress. However, due to problems I was having with the actual course, I switched to a different administrator. I was continuously having to redo the same assignment over and over again, which prevented me from moving forward. Each time I submitted the same assignment, it was returned with a “retry”. Each time, there was new feedback that was not there before. One assignment had to be resubmitted 6-7 times. It became frustrating, so I emailed the tutor directly and requested that all feedback be elaborate enough where I only resubmit once or twice. Unfortunately, I just switched administrators.”

“Overall, the course is affordable compared to many of the other offerings online, but the actual content is pretty mediocre. It places a huge emphasis on teaching grammar over anything else. However, during the two day in-person part of the course (which was my favorite part, since the practice actually seemed relevant), my teacher told us not to worry too much about the grammar, as that's normally the job of the native language teacher. So I would say, opt for as much in-person as possible, and at least the online portion will get you your certificate. And try not to stress too much when tutors nitpick your online assignments. If you keep submitting, even if it's just rewording your original idea, you can eventually pass without having to purchase an extension.”

“I would have liked to have learnt about tenses earlier on in the course. I found some of the beginning of the course confusing (as if I had missed out on a section) until finally I got to the section on tenses.”

Hello Lynn, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on our course - we really appreciate it. We try to cover tenses, and grammar in general, at the beginning of the course so you are fully prepared when you get to the teaching methodology and video observation modules of the course. I'll definitely feed this back to our academic team. Kind regards, Alan, TEFL Advisor

“I enjoyed the two day course because it was engaging and very useful. I am doing TEFL level 5 and when I bought the course I explained that I only want to teach online. After I booked the course and attended for the two days I started applying for jobs. This was a mistake as every application I have found so far requires a degree and a TEFL to teach online. Therefore, I couldn’t recommend taking a TEFL unless you have a degree. This would have been helpful advice before I went ahead with the TEFL 5.”

“I haven't yet begun my TEFL course but I must admit I have not had the best start. I am currently a final year university student and decided to make the most of the 1/3 off courses offer back in early february. I was aware that you only had 6 months to complete the online course (without having to buy extensions) and throughout the order/payment process I was looking out for TEFL to tell me when exactly that 6 months would begin (as it does not say it anywhere on the website). It gave the option to pay £50 deposit or pay in full. Initially I was going to pay the deposit but then I thought I may as well pay in full so I don't have to worry about it till I graduate. However, that immediately began the 6 month clock I have to complete the online course, when I still have 4 months of university to complete first. I contacted TEFL immediately and explained the confusion and explained how there was no clear message saying it would begin straightaway (and that on the deposit one you can wait until 2 weeks before your classroom slot). They said there was nothing they could do and that I will just have to buy extensions, which is annoying for me as there was not point trying to make the most of the offer when i am going to have to spend extra anyway. I am still excited to start TEFL but I do feel that my excitement has been clouded by this unfortunate mishap. I wish it was made clearer so I could have gone with the deposit option. This is my only experience of TEFL so far.”
