“Poor grading and feedback schedule. Could’ve had it done a week sooner if the 48hr grading requirement was upheld”

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Mason. We’re sorry to hear the grading and feedback schedule didn’t meet your expectations. Our tutors do have a busy schedule of marking all their student's course work, so they do require the full 48-hours to ensure the feedback given is accurate and detailed. Our 120-hour TEFL course is also a 6-month course, so could not be done within 1-week. If you’d like to discuss this further, please contact our support team. Warm regards, The TEFL Org Team

“I found the course to be very well structured and helpful in terms of learning skills to be a teacher aswell as the content to teach. I was suprised that there was no tutor for the grammar section as I felt this to be a very important part of the course. Learning online has been very different for me as there were no real discussions. The teaching online part of the course would have benefitted from watching a demo teaching session using one of the platforms. Overall though a positive process. Thank you”

“I thought it was good and learned a lot about methodology. The only negative was the grammar course. It jumped around in beginning and then got more organized. Thought it would be better from beginning to divide the grammar into clear sections from start. I would like to learn in order as teach from beginning to more advanced english.”

“The TEFL course teachings were clear comprehensive for a certificate. The one issue I had was with the tutor, Steven. He systematically failed my tests and told me to repeat his feedback back to him. He also used the exact same feedback, no matter what the test was on. Word for word. He was definitely a bot, yet the one time I used AI to double check my work before I sent it in (I followed protocol, explaining that I only did so because I didn’t understand why I kept having to retake tests) he gave a lengthy railing on how AI cannot possibly help with checking over work because it doesn’t have the technology yet. This goes against the AI tool chest that is explained at the beginning of each test. I should add that I’ve been teaching internationally for almost thirty years, I have a Masters degree and simply took the TEFL to help my students. Please either address Stephen’s job security issues (if he is a person) or change the bot’s voice from irate to helpful.”

“Amazing , helpful teachers; Great and super practically useful knowledge in lessons; if I have one minor complaint it’s that I had trouble with the classroom section as it took quite a long time for me to be able to do it. Thankfully, I eventually was able to get into it live, and though I also feel as though they should clarify that the classroom section that is required does have homework between lessons, aside from that it was a really useful and good experience. Aside from that, this is a bit more minor but I feel as though some of the lesson modules can seem a lot longer than others by a large mile; still, it’s completely doable though. Overall I am so happy TEFL I got my certification thru TEFL org!”

“TEFL is excellent for new teachers (teaching for 5 or less years). It introduced great pedagogy and strategies that would give new teachers confidence in a classroom setting and plenty of ideas. It’s even good for veteran teachers, such as myself, who may have become complacent in our teaching to better hone our skills and current lessons, to look at new methodologies to bring to the classroom, and to improve ourselves. The struggle I had with TEFL is that my experience as a veteran teacher, (teaching for 22 years and being an ESL coordinator for the last 10 of those years), I felt like my experiences were dismissed and ignored on assignments. On several assignments, even if I used verbiage that demonstrated that I was “eliciting” teaching/learning, the fact that I didn’t actually write the word “elicit” seem to mean my lesson was instantly a failure. Another example, I had the assignment where students had to listen to the song, “Don’t worry, be happy.” On my lesson plan I wrote that the students would have the lyrics and the vocabulary would be color coded so that they (the students) would be able to see where the vocabulary was being used. As a native English speaker, who also knows the song very well, I STILL used closed caption to see the words just so I could see where the vocabulary I was using was placed in the sentence of the song just as a helpful visual. It wasn’t about reading the lyrics, it was a sentence stem to help while listening to the lyrics, which is an ESL strategy that I currently use, however, that assignment was marked wrong. Yet, I did notice in the next module it was actually mentioned that the teacher should have the vocabulary shown so the students could see it, making it feel like a contradiction to what was being graded on that previous assignment. Last, there was a video where a tutor demonstrated a “bad lesson” where he spoke quickly, was unorganized and barely listened to the students. While I got the gist of why this was shown, it was overly dramatic, so the point was almost lost. Why not have a video where the tutor maybe forgot to use the “target language” or didn’t have free time at the end for the students to practice. This would demonstrate more effectively how missing those steps could lead to a bad lesson versus showing a lesson that just pure chaos. Having said that, I did appreciate the online modules and the best ways to engage students as I believe this will be the start of my focus in teaching.”

“Overall I was pleased with the program. It felt achievable and worth the effort. My only frustration came from the homework feedback. I often felt there was a checklist of words and if I didn’t have those then I would have to resubmit. Or even if it was passed first time there was little encouragement.”

“Overall, I had a positive experience with TEFL.org. The course content was detailed, well organized, and easy to navigate. I especially appreciated having an assigned tutor who could provide individualized feedback on lesson planning and teaching methodology. I definitely feel more confident in my understanding of lesson structures and classroom techniques after completing the course. My biggest criticism was the grading process. I felt my tutor graded far more harshly than necessary, often failing assignments not because the lesson was incorrect or ineffective, but because it didn't match his personal approach to teaching. In several cases, it felt like there was only one "correct" way to complete an assignment, despite there often being multiple pedagogically sound approaches to lesson planning. Some revisions also came down to adding or changing only a few words rather than demonstrating a misunderstanding of the material. I also wish there had been more variety in the written assignments. Many followed a very similar format, and after a while it felt like I was trying to predict exactly what the tutor wanted to read rather than demonstrating my own understanding of the concepts. I think incorporating more practical or scenario-based assessments would better evaluate a student's teaching ability while allowing for some creativity. Overall, I still enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others, particularly because of the quality of the learning materials and the flexibility of studying at your own pace. I just think the assessment process could be improved to better recognize that there is often more than one effective way to teach.”

“My experience with the online TEFL program was very positive. The course was well organized and easy to follow, making it simple to learn at my own pace. While some sections were more challenging than others, I appreciated that because it encouraged me to think critically and apply what I was learning. The program was also reasonably priced, especially with the discounted rate, which made it affordable. My tutor was responsive, supportive, and provided helpful feedback throughout the course. He also made it clear that I could reach out whenever I needed assistance, which made the learning experience even better. Overall, I would recommend this online TEFL program to anyone interested in teaching English abroad or online. It provided a solid foundation in lesson planning and classroom teaching, and I feel much more confident in my teaching abilities after completing the course.”
