Best decision I have ever made!!
by: Brendan Pitt - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseTaking the Level 5 TEFL course was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my personal and professional growth. I began the course while still living in South Africa and completed everything online, which was incredibly convenient and allowed me to study at my own pace. The materials were well-structured, engaging, and provided a deep understanding of what it takes to be an effective teacher. The course not only gave me the skills I needed but also the confidence to step into the classro...
TEFL is great!
by: Tasneem Sallie - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseThe content covered everything that a first time ESL teacher would need to know. The platform was easy to access and easy to use. The tutors were quick to respond to any queries that were sent, and eager to help. I would 100% recommend TEFL.
Straight forward and exciting!
by: Mia Sohnge - New ZealandProgram: Online Level 3 TEFL CourseI really enjoyed this quick 120 hour course. I get the impression that this will be a great base from which I can build my TEFL career. The online course is very easy to navigate and everything is explained in-depth. The assessments challenged me and put me in the shoes of a TEFL teacher, but were overall achievable and relevant. This course has made me super excited to move to Peru next month to begin my TEFL journey!

It snowed in Ireland at the beginning of March, so bad that we were snowed in and were off our usual 9-5 jobs. I've always wanted to teach and my boyfriend always wanted to teach ESL. That's how this all began.

The world of TEFL is always something that has interested me. I really believe in the power of teaching English in the general sense as well as the benefits that TEFL teachers can gain personally, economically, and professionally. The chance, therefore, to work for a company that provides people with the opportunity to experience this wonderful world of TEFL was something that I grasped with both hands.
