“I found the course to be a great value. The coursework itself was largely useful, though it could stand to be proofread as there are a few spelling errors and such. I appreciate the resources available to graduates and the indepth feedback of the tutors.”

“It was a complete course covering every point necessary, however, I think it would be best to separate the diplomas and not only have the diplomas once we complete all 4. Also have more chances to finish the quiz and keep the same questions for us to answer correctly.”

“The course was really easy, I enjoyed the videos, mainly because I have a hard time focusing when I have to read a lot of information. I wished that every part of the course was a video, because there where some parts where a lot of important information was written.”

“I took the 200 hour Diploma course and had to extend it twice due to ill health getting in the way, so it took me 10 months to complete. The course subjects were straightforward and the exams were not too challenging. I do think that some of the word counts could be better though. There are some aspects I'm still not 100% sure of but I will research and continue adding to my knowledge through books etc. My plan is to teach online and start up my own teaching business in order that I can travel and teach remotely. The chat section was very easy to use and always had someone with good information to answer any questions. I was questioned over one exam as to whether I had used AI to generate the answers which made me feel a little annoyed. ALL of my work done on the course was my own work but I can understand in the present times that some people might not be honest. I noticed recently that the course is being advertised for half the price I paid which is unfortunate but I've passed and now the world is my lobster.”

“well done and structured course. the explanations are simple and the methodologies explained in detail. tutors' support with their feedback is a further lesson to be learned. perhaps online and large classes teaching should be supported by some demonstrations to better understand the explanations. overall very positive experience.”

“Generally, it was a great experience. Most of the courses were easy to understand. A few of the courses were hurried. Some of the quizzes were not easy to understand especially the stress quizzes. In some of the videos pertaining to the types of teaching methods, it wasn't easy to identify when one stage ends and when the next stage begins.”

“I took the Young Learners Course, and was happy to learn a few things to bring into the classroom when teaching. I have experience with teaching English to adults, so this course was helpful with adding more to my repretoire focused on young learners. I think something the course could improve upon is maybe adding a lesson plan unit to the course so that students will feel more prepared when it comes to do the assignments. Although I have written a few lesson plans before this, they were all for adult students. More information on how different a lesson plan should be for an adult learner versus a young learner would be helpful for future students interested in taking the course.”

“Reflection on Completing My TEFL Teaching English Course I am delighted to share that I have recently completed my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course. This is a significant accomplishment for me, especially given the challenges I faced along the way. Overcoming Challenges The journey to completing the course was not easy. Balancing my studies with other personal responsibilities made it difficult to stay consistent, and there were moments when I felt like giving up. However, my determination to achieve this goal kept me going. Support from Fellow Students One of the key factors that helped me succeed was the support I received from my fellow students. Their encouragement and willingness to help me understand difficult concepts were invaluable. Their support made a big difference and kept me motivated to push through the challenges. Course Benefits The TEFL course itself was incredibly informative and well-structured. It provided me with essential tools and techniques for teaching English, such as creating lesson plans, engaging students, and addressing diverse learning needs. The knowledge I gained from this course will undoubtedly help me in teaching English effectively. Looking Forward This qualification has opened up new opportunities for me, especially in my work at Saathi House, where I can use these skills to support non-native English speakers in improving their language abilities. It has also boosted my confidence to explore teaching roles in other settings in the future. Conclusion Completing the TEFL course has been a challenging yet rewarding experience. Despite the difficulties, I am proud of this achievement and grateful for the support I received along the way. I am excited to apply my new skills to make a positive impact in my community and beyond.”

“Generally the content is really good, however some of the telephone training feels dated, pre-Covid, and not adapted to ways of working globally and cultural shifts, most people now particularly in business use Teams, and even outside of business video calling is really widespread.”

“The course is fantastic value for money. The material is excellent. There is logical progression through the modules with clear learning goals. The quizzes along the way help the student focus on the key points. The mixture of video presentations and reading material helps keep the course fresh. The videos of real lessons are excellent - the course would be very much poorer without these. I did the classroom sessions online as I'm living overseas and I appreciated the flexibility of being able to do that. Those sessions were dynamic, interesting and very good for building confidence. I certainly feel much better equipped to have a go at teaching English now. My only real negative has to do with the written questions in the end-of-module exams. The tight word limits did not allow for any real creativity in the answers, nor did there seem to be any expectation of this. For example, on one occasion the question asked for a number of points (I think it was five) to be covered. I wrote a short paragraph which covered all the points but rearranged the order to make the paragraph flow naturally and avoid repetition. I put the five points in bold type to indicate where they were covered. My tutor did not accept my answer; she said I had to answer each point in turn. As the course went on I increasingly felt that all that was being sought in these mini-exams was parroting back the course material. I felt this might be appropriate for a maths or science program, but found it sad that a course that teaches ENGLISH teachers should discourage creative writing in English.”

“I learned a lot and I thought the content was good. I don't feel completely prepared to teach my own class though. I think there should be a few assignments where you have to record yourself teaching or something. I also think some of the writing assignments weren't very clear in what they wanted. I was lost for a few of them and could have used some extra guidance. I understand that I could have reached out to my tutor, but I think there could be more guidance in the modules. Overall, I think it is a good first step to teaching english as a foreign language.”

“I am very proud to have taken the TEFL course in terms of knowledge it has given me a good base to start with. Since I came into the TEFL program with classroom experience under the belt learning how to understand language and teaching put together has been useful it has helped me know how to conduct my tutoring sessions and teach English effectively. I would say the 1st 2 courses were the most useful to me. However I had written down each course in a notebook to understand it.”
