Stepping out of my comfort zone, and my country !

My experience with the TEFL online level 5 course was extraordinary: Not only was I able to learn about english in itself, but also discover the origins of the language which I knew nothing of.
I am eighteen years old. I am positive that I have a whole life in front of me and, although uncertainty is an recurrent element in one's life, I am one hundred percent certain that doing the TEFL course is an extraordinary way to kick off my career as a full-time traveler.
I am currently teaching english in Colombia. My experience is indubitably unique due to the fact that not only am I enjoying myself in a foreign country, but I am withouth a shadow of a doubt making a huge impact on a community through education as well.
Not all the money in the world can ever pay for that.
Thank you for reading.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Fear. I was absolutely scared. I knew very little about the TEFL academy and Colombia. The things you first imagine are: " I'll get robbed" "it's not a real academy" "Why would I pay for a program I can't even see" "it's a lie"...
Well Buddy, those are all fears installed by our subconscious mind. But let me tell you:
Once you let go of those fears, your new life will be there on the other side; waiting for you. I can attest to that.
Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Incredible Digital Content
  • The ability to make progress and learn in my own pace
Cons
  • I had to pay from Argentina, my country. And It wasn't an easy transaction. But other than that, everything cool

Great Experience

I think the course has a good amount of content. I had a little information missing like in the reading and more phonic information. But overall, it gives you a great idea of what teaching a second language is. I liked how they teach you to plan lessons, the feedback you get and also it gives you little knowledge checks before to see how much you know before.
I have a hard time doing online courses, but this was with the right amount of information, to be completed in not a long time if you dedicate couple hours a day. The assignments it's a great way to test what are you learning before you advance. I'm very pleased of buying this course for myself.

What would you improve about this program?
I would add a lesson about phonetic awareness and reading strategies

Informative and engaging

This program was easy to follow with an engaging website that was easy to navigate. I learned a lot about TEFL and how it differs from teaching English as a first language. The assignments are helpful in preparing for teaching in a classroom and online setting; a very useful skill to learn. The content was well organised and explained in a user friendly way. It is fairly comprehensive and guides you on how to teach ESL to a variety of learners. 10/10 recommended and definitely great value for the price.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
The ability to communicate with markers to thank them for their advice and also clarify points they made in their feedback.
Pros
  • Self-paced
  • Informative
  • Engaging

The TEFL for me

I started with my TEFL level 5 back in 2022 and did not realise how in depth and informative the course would be. I have had to extend my course a few times due to being extremely busy with completing a bachelors degree at the same time as the TEFL.
The course was more than I expected it would be. I found it to be informative, interactive and interesting.
Every interaction with The TEFL Academy has been positive. I have received amazing service for every query that I have sent.
The feedback that I received regarding my assignments, has been helpful, detailed and motivating.
Completing a course through The TEFL Academy was the best decision I could have made, and I will definitely encourage others to do the same.

A great insight into the world of tefl!

The whole course was truly a great insight into what tefl is all about and the type of tasks and learning exercises you would be doing as a teacher. I found the assignments challenging but it definitely provided me with a realistic idea of how to plan and prepare lessons and how to adapt them for different abilities. I found that when I needed support the tutors were really quick to respond and were helpful. The feedback from tutors on assignments was also personalised and constructive I really enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others!

Pros
  • Interesting
  • Challenging
  • Great support
