“Education was thorough but limited job links”

Hi there, Thank you for your honest 3-star review! We're pleased to hear that you found the education you received through our TEFL course thorough. We are sorry to hear that you didn't feel there were enough jobs links. As a TEFL Course provider, we do not offer TEFL jobs ourselves – we only post jobs on behalf of employers. Currently we have over 110 jobs posted to our website, but as we receive new jobs weekly from employers all over the world this can change. We recommend checking our website regularly for new posts every week. If you have any specific suggestions or further feedback, please don’t hesitate to share these with us. We're here to support you on your TEFL journey! Best wishes, The TEFL Org Team

“TEFL should tell you beforehand that if you apply for an extension and finish beforehand you will not get a refund for it. Sometimes you wait for feedback too long. But I did enjoy the course”

“I felt that the courses were challenging and contained the basics of teaching methodology however some of the assignments were not easy to complete individually. I feel that it would have been more helpful to have experienced teachers to work with to create lesson plans. I also feel that too much emphasis was placed on theology and not enough on lesson plan creation.”

“The program platform was easy to use. However, as someone who literally went to University and received a degree in this and then has spent the last ten years teaching and managing teachers, the scoring process was not great. It honestly felt like the mentor had a required quota of rejecting a certain percentage of assignments or something. I had assignments returned for some ridiculous (to me at least) reasons and the fact you are not able to discuss anything with the mentor is frustrating. For example, I had an assignment returned once because it was deemed too advanced for the age group. However, it is literally an assignment that I & my teachers have presented to age 3 students many times as a regular part of our curriculum. My only other criticism is the word limits are a bit restrictive. Particularly if you want lesson plans to be redundant to verify understanding, there must be a slightly higher word count allowed. There was a good amount of explanation and clarification that I was forced to cut in order to submit within the target word count.”

“The classroom video lesson examples could be better. In some of them, student responses were inaudible. Overall, the course is well-structured. However, it is disappointing that on your website, currently, there are job options only for native English speakers and one online English tutor job for the company that pays the least. You advertise your course as suitable for non-native English speakers like myself to acquire the necessary skills and credentials to get employed. Therefore, I am not likely to recommend your course to anyone.”

Dear Nikola, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback about The TEFL Org. It is great to hear that you found the training course well-structured, and we appreciate your note on the volume in some of the videos - we will take a look at this. We have never guaranteed a TEFL position as we do not provide teaching positions, and can only publish the positions which are advertised with us from other schools or employers online. Many non-native English speakers have found TEFL positions after taking their training with us as they have used our job centre and the other resources and links we have available for finding positions. We are more than happy to help in any way possible. Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback, Nikola. We truly value your support and look forward to serving you in the future. Best regards, The TEFL Org Team

“The course provides lots of resources and information in the field of TEFL. I think it is excellent practice for when we step into the classroom. The main complaint that I have is with the methodology course, I was was accused several times by software of plagiarism or using AI to write papers, as a college graduate that has not only managed ESL programs but has worked as an in class tutor in public schools with the ESL dept that was quite offensive. In addition, I didn’t feel comfortable or that I had convience to reach out to my tutor or staff if I needed clarification on anything. Over all, the course was suffiencient and I feel like I have a good headstart in actually leading a lesson on my own.”

“The videos are fine and easy to follow. The feedback I got from my tutor was not only completely inconsistent with how the videos teach you to teach but it was also inconsistent when I resubmitted the assignments. It was as if he wanted me to fail a few times so he kept changing the bits of the essay that were wrong. I don’t think I’m Ready to Teach after this course as it’s completely baffling. I passed so will go on to further my skills elsewhere. I already teach in a uni which made the experience even more confusing as the feedback made No sense in any teaching capacity. I Wouldn’t recommend this course unless you’re not serious about teaching abroad and just want a bit of fun”

“Useful skills! Content was a little bit dated in parts. Online learning platform was also a little bit clunky and glitchy. I look forward to exploring the utility of the TEFL certfication both locally in my home country of Australia and abroad in due course.”

“I think the grammar and methodology courses were really useful for beginners; they were detailed, easy to follow and very informative. However, I think the telephone teaching and large classroom courses should have been more detailed. I would have found it more helpful to have more example lesson plans and a video of an example lesson. This would have made the assignments easier to complete.”

“The course itself did contain a lot of useful information and details regarding teaching. However I do believe the tutor assigned to myself intentionally didn't let me pass so I have to pay for extensions and use more money on the course.”

“I think the program was overall OK. I found a series of grammarical/punctuational errors throughout the presentations and text, which I'm happy to provide editing for in exchange for free classes. The tutor I had was nice, but I wish I would have gotten more detailed feedback on certain assignments, both positive and negative feedback. I haven't yet used the job search function so I can't rate that as of yet.”

“TEFL Org provides a comprehensive version of the TEFL course online with clear, general explanations and observational learning through classroom videos. Its monotonous display and website formatting could use some visual enhancement. The organization of the course content could also be improved. Increasing detailed guidelines and footnoted material would also help. The video instruction sometimes gave self-explanatory information while sounding pedantic. The course method encouraged much hands-on learning. You have to figure out a lot of stuff yourself. But I don't like this feeling that it's like I didn't learn anything.”

“It’s all on line you wait 48 hours for a reply to your work. There is 2 days only face to face. . If you don’t have a teaching background you may struggle. I found it very solitary and did not enjoy it. I struggled with some of it mainly unit 12. After doing this course I realise I do not like online learning and although I “passed” it means nothing in the bigger picture of confidently teaching English. I think improvement can be made with more face to face teaching every 8 weeks at an additional cost. If this were available I would have done it”

“The content was good, but I found it a little redundant at times. There were many parts where I was hoping for more in-depth information or more explicit examples of the topics covered. My biggest concern were the number of production notes that were left in the course. I reported in three or four instances where the content wasn’t present at all and instead had notes for it to be added.”

“The course was okay. I managed to learn a lot in 7 weeks. I did not like the video quality. I could often not hear the students speaking in the classroom videos. So I just read the text instead. But sometimes the text showed "inaudible." So clearly this could be improved. My tutor marked my assignments within 48 hours as promised, there was ample resources, the price was good and overall this was a decent experience.”

“I felt the training was helpful, but I wish it was more interactice specifically on the Grammar module which was VERY long and not interesting at all. I liked the modules that we had to submit and type lesson plans for. Having a tutor review and make suggestions made the modules feel more like a real class.”
