It was really great experience I’m looking forward to working and doing all the work I think I’m mentally Ready to start my teaching journey.
December 13, 2025by: Olwethu Mphithi - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseTeaching school experience can be a wild ride! As an animal health technician, I don't have personal teaching experience, but I've had the chance to educate pet owners on animal care and health. In a hypothetical teaching scenario, I'd focus on making learning fun and engaging. I'd use real-life examples, like explaining a dog's dietary needs, and use visual aids like diagrams or models to help illustrate complex concepts. My approach would be student-centered, encouraging questions and discussions. I'd assess students' understanding through quizzes, group work, and practical exercises, like demonstrating proper animal handling techniques. Some topics I'd love to teach include animal behavior, nutrition, and health. I'd emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving, encouraging students to think creatively and develop solutions. What kind of teaching experience are you interested in?
The TEFL Academy helped me launch my career
December 12, 2025by: Muika Yohannis - United StatesProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL CourseI had a great experience with The TEFL Academy. The course was very well structured, easy to follow, and gave me a solid understanding of what effective English teaching looks like. I learned so much about lesson planning, classroom management, and how to structure engaging lessons for different types of learners. The modules were clear and practical, and they genuinely made me excited about teaching English abroad and starting my teaching career. I now feel more confident and prepared to step into a classroom thanks to this course. I highly recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone considering teaching English overseas or wanting a strong foundation in TEFL.
It was my dream.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
What inspired me the most was being able to help people achieve their dreams of travelling and teaching English in other countries around the world. Some people are in the middle of switching careers after many years and seeing them follow their dreams just as I did at some point in my life and take such a big step, is admiring and gratifying.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I have worked in educational/travel industries for over two and a half years now. I love to work with people who are looking to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Our students will go out into the world and teach others the very valuable skill of the English language. It is great to be part of the process. It is great to assist people in reaching their goals of becoming a certified TEFL teacher.
