“The overall course is well organized and some of the techniques seemed really helpful for teaching English in a newer and much easier way than traditional grammar courses. However, I think there may be a few issues with your some of the contents e.g. lesson videos, scripts and also assignment questions and answer requirements. Sometimes students’ voice or accent is not clear and also there is text missing in the scripts. There are assignment questions which are not clear on what they are asking for (e.g. In US Video Observation Course, unit 4 assignment, you are asking for specific information activity based on 10 reading comprehension questions but neither it is specifically mentioned in assignment question nor all of those questions students had in their hands were shown properly in the video or script). Moreover, I feel that the requirements of word limit are quite challenging for the type of answers expected. So, in my opinion, perhaps these things need to be updated for a better outcome from students. Lastly, this course may not be helpful for seeking jobs overseas, especially for those whose native language is not English (almost 95% companies offering jobs impose that strict criteria) therefore, this point could be highlighted in course description.”

Dear Reezwan, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review of The TEFL Org. We're happy to see you enjoyed the organisation of our course. Your course feedback is very much appreciated, as we will always look to improve our courses even further. A lot of our TEFL teachers are non-native speakers, and though some schools may indeed prefer native English teachers, many do not, as non-native speakers tend to have a better appreciation of English grammar. Depending on where in the world a teacher would like to travel, we often recommend that they consider a Level 5 course. This information is certainly available on our website, but the customer service team are also happy to answer any questions regarding this. Should you ever need any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to assist you every step of the way. Best regards, The TEFL Org team

“It decent amount of information. Though a lot more could’ve been invested in how to develop a specific curriculum from beginner to advanced. How do those lessons break down In specific order?”

“I was a little disappointed that feedback from the written assignments was limited to 2/3 sentences and the rest of the feedback had been copied and pasted - lots of which wasn’t relevant to me. Also I found the video on VYL games, in which the teacher runs out of ideas and so uses his mobile phone to search for more, incredibly unprofessional. What kind of example is this setting to new teachers? The rest of the course was interesting and easy to navigate.”

“I would have greatly appreciated to have everything I did wrong marked. It made the pass/fail assignments difficult to understand what I needed to fix. I was only fixing things that were marked wrong and every time I resubmitted the assignments a new error was revealed. It felt like a waste. Just some thoughts.”

“Learned a few things I didn’t know. Interesting approach to the subject material. I did find it a little dated. Time to incorporate new methods of teachin/learning. A large part of functional learning from Western students anyway is from YouTube as an example.”

“I felt that the videos explaining each methodology could be more in depth. A lot of the time I would take into account the feedback on my written assignment and then I would submit it again with different feedback. If the feedback is given all together it would have been easier to complete the assignments. One feedback said I was over the world limit and that was it, I submitted it with a reduction in the words and then I had a whole new list of things I had to complete with new feedback. That was a bit confusing. It would be nice if you could hold face to face sessions with instructors to get to know them and at least have them on email if you have any questions.”

“Helpful in reviewing some information and gaining more engagement strategies. But there were errors in the grammar course (at least using US English grammar) as well as my tutor was not helpful and almost never answered my questions directly. Instead repeating the same information over and over as I asked clarifying questions.”

“I didn´t pass my second assignment because I didn´t give enough detail on "what I would actually teach", i.e specific phrases, listing expressions, referencing which texts I would use as examples, actual references and so on. But this was not mentioned in the Quiz overview. If this had been mentioned, then of course I would have known that I should specficy such things. Now I have to do the assignment again because I failed due to omitting these details. PLEASE BE MORE SPECIFIC when setting assignments.”

“I felt the grammar course was the most thorough and explained the concepts well. However, oftentimes the grammar of the writing in the course itself was wrong or sloppy. There were misspellings, mispunctuation, etc. I also did not feel like the practice/graded quizzes tested my knowledge. A lot of the questions were easily solved just by looking at the phrasing or verbage used within them. At the end of the quizzes, there was no explanation as to which answer was correct and why. Also, if one of the quiz questions was marked as incorrect, the question would be completely different when going back for the second or third attempt. So there was always the doubt of "what was the answer to that original question?" The post-unit assignments actually got me thinking and made me go back to important parts of the unit to review. Perhaps there could be more interactive ways to learn throughout the course. If the live classroom videos had quiz questions throughout, this could be a good way to engage the viewer.”

“Generally i thought the assignments were good, the quizzes were a bit too easy, you dont really have to go through all of the theory in order to pass them, which is good on one hand because you finish more fast, but if you are looking to actually proof the knowledge learned, maybe the questions have to be a bit more challenging. I thought the course would be more interactive, so maybe with skype or any video call, so that the teacher can give more specific feedback and also because writing a lesson plan and holding a lesson with presence and in live are two very different things. Overall it gave me a good general base for starting to teach online and for volonteering in classes abroad.”

“The material taught in the course is very valuable and I have learned many things while taking this course. However, my interactions with my mentor were very annoying. Every time I submitted an assignment to be graded, I would see a pop-up message that said something along the lines of "Your assignment will be graded within 48 hours excluding bank holidays." This was rarely the case. Not only did my mentor fail to grade multiple assignments within 48 hours, but it felt like they would wait until the 48th hour to START grading even the smallest assignments. I finished the great majority of the content of the course within one week and spent TWO WEEKS just waiting on my mentor for days on end. I wanted to get this certification done before an application deadline, but I only got this certification several hours AFTER the submission deadline because this mentor took almost FOUR DAYS to grade my final assignments (and there were ZERO bank holidays). To sum up this course experience: The actual course was great! My mentor was HORRIBLE.”

“While the aim is wonderful, the content is a bit dry and somewhat inflexible. The videos about the PPP method seemed to contradict themselves: one video used the chain story, if I recall correctly, to illustrate the production part. However, a few videos on, it indicated that was incorrect. That was the practice stage. There also seemed to be a mismatch between the videos and the expectations of the instructor, which led me to quoting directly from the videos to justify my particular responses. It felt as if the films and the instructor weren't entirely on the same page.”

“Some of the lessons and curses were redundant . At least for me , maybe you should offer grammar elementary courses to teachers who have never studied grammar. I also think that to pay for the extension was too expensive and a way to get more money from the students. It is claimed your price is reasonable but not really when you count all the extensions I paid. The last two courses are the most valuable ones and I wish I had started the program with those two to keep Me motivated and engaged .”

Hi Amelia, Thank you for your feedback. Although our courses are to help people who are already fluent in English become teachers of English, we do like to provide a short grammar section on our courses. This is a great refresher for many of our students. Although we provide 5 to 7 months (course dependent) to complete a course, we also like to ensure we offer different extensions should these be needed. Thanks again for your feedback, and if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

“I found the course itself very educational and easy to follow. Towards the end of the course I struggled a lot with my tutor. I did not feel like she was marking the assignments carefully and would give feedback that was either very vague or was asking me to do things that I felt I had already covered. As i felt like the was being unfair and failing me 'for the sake of it', there was one assignment that i waited a few days and simply resubmitted the exact same piece of work to which I was passed and she wrote "much better thank you Bethan". It was a shame that such a good helpful course was made so frustrating at the very end by unprofessionalism from the tutor.”

Thank you so much for your feedback about The TEFL Org, Tabraiz. We do feel that 48-hours for our tutors to provide feedback for all of their students is a suitable time frame, but I will certainly pass along your feedback to them. You should have received a confirmation email once you requested your hard copy certificate. All our certificates are sent by standard delivery, so there would be no further updates after this. Depending which country you are based, the post can take up to 4 weeks to arrive. If it has been longer, please reach out to the customer service team who can help you further with this.
