It's an excellent site. The courses are well prepared, logically presented and easy to follow, and the teachers are excellent. The advantages include the ability to work the various units and modules at your own pace, going back to check on things if need be. You can also pause and replay the videos to focus on specific aspects, and having the transcript presented on screen facilitates note-taking if you can't have the video playing with audio for whatever reason.

Structure was well balanced and considered the learning pace of many students. I think a glossary or a written barebones guide would help as a reference when learning and a follow up to the TEFL course.

I enjoyed my course, and it was very helpful and I would recommend it to others. However, sometimes on mobile when I would press 'next module' it would send me back to the course selection screen which was annoying.

I found it too grammar-focused. Most students these days take English classes to improve speaking and listening.

I enjoyed watching the skillful teachers in action. I am a veteran teacher with 60 credits beyond my master's in education and started off thinking I wouldn't learn very much. I was wrong. I learned many strategies to help my ESL teaching. I felt that some of the assignments were busy work, and also felt that at times they were too fussy about using your hard-core template to write lesson plans etc. I tried to think outside the TEFL box a few times and quickly learned that I was not invited to do so. It's OK - what you gave me I needed and I am grateful.

I liked everything that I learned, but I think I could have had a better tutor.

I would change two things in this course: The introduction videos are not necessary as they are very short but do take quite a significant amount of time especially with the wrapping up with the logo at the end. If the student ends the video before it is finished (to skip the logo closing) it counts as not having been watched and that can slow down the studuying especially if the student is pressed for time. The second issue is frequently mentioning that something seems difficult but will be mastered eventually. This may seem like a good way to motivate those who seem overwhelmed but if said too many times, some students may feel underestimated, especially if they did not feel overwhelmed in the first place.

I learned a lot about grammar and teaching methodology, but the videos were a bit dated, and the telephone teaching course should really incorporate more content about zoom. I would have preferred to have more short assignments of 120 words and fewer longer assignments of 600 words. I would also contend that the feedback I received for the final assignment in the teaching methodology course should not have resulted in the need for a retake. I followed the S-S, P/W etc. format as detailed in the instructions, but my tutor preferred it formatted slightly differently. The main part that allegedly fell below standards was only 1/5 of the assignment. I had not had to retake any part of the course until then, and it was a sour way to end my TEFL experience. Overall, I learned a lot and cannot wait to put my TEFL skills to use, but having to retake the final assignment does not sit well.

The course was superb! I really appreciated the guided discovery of the tutors and the videos were very helpful in visualizing what to expect or what to avoid when teaching English. Go at your own pace while receiving feedback on how to improve understanding of the material being learned. I'd definitely recommend the course to everyone!

The course was pretty good. I appreciated that most of the vidoes came with a transcript because I enjoy reading more than watching somebody talk a bunch of words at me. If the classroom videos came with the transcript too, that would be great. I think I would have enjoyed more practice with writing lesson plans, and to just write so many of them that it becomes more like muscle memory. I really liked having a tutor as part of the course. My tutor was extremely helpful and quick to respond. Sometimes I had no idea what to write, but if I submitted something(to me it seemed like a jumbled mess), my tutor would give suggestions and point me in the right direction.

Very informative, comprehensive and easy to navigate. However, one video presenter needs to learn how pronounce correctly, it's proNUNciation, NOT proNOUNCiation - sounds pedantic, but if you cant use the broom, dont sweep the floor! I found the video presentations quite irritating on the whole, to be honest, and ended up preferring to read the text than watch those. But found the classroom videos very enlightening. Some of the assignment instructions seemed a little unclear, but I accept that it could just have been a case of me being stupid or something!

The course structure of the 120 hour online tefl is good. It’s broken down into micro sessions, making it easier to digest. The course excels in its tutor support.

I really enjoyed this course. My tutor always replied quickly and gave me explanations for his answers. I do think the online material needs updating , there were a few typos in it and some older terminology in the telephone and online units. The amount of material covered and the videos of actual teachers taking classes was excellent and I particularly enjoyed doing the online weekend classes . I think you need this mix not just online on your own, great to work with people from other countries, and I would have liked to do more like this to really practice and consolidate what I was learning. I did have a few technical difficulties with tests locking on me but the support team were always quick to respond and reset these. I don’t have anything to compare this too, and I am aware there are lots of TEFL courses out there, but for me it was really good, informative and great value for money.
