Excellent in class experience

I had an excellent in-class experience. I had fun learning with Ms.Ashika. Her knowledge of Water, Music and learning theories was amazing. We had teaching Practice and Peer teaching. In those Practice tests, we were put into real life classroom teaching experience. Those experiences really boosted our confidence. I had a good peer-teach experience. And our Teaching Practice place was good, where we met both hyperactive kids and calm kids. It was a different experience, the trainer asked us to teach both kinds of kids.

Thanks a lot for the intensive training program!

For a beginner like me with engineering background, this training introduced me to techniques and approaches uniquely suited for ESL learners—something I had never encountered before. It was an eye-opening and empowering journey into the world of language education.

TEFL Review

It was a good experience. I learned new teaching methodologies. All the activities, warmers, teaching practices, tasks were constructive.
Trainers were resourceful. new things were learnt in teaching material, contextualization, how to set it, games, and classroom management aspects. The course was delivered online, which offered flexibility. I appreciated the balance of reading material, interactive quizzes, and video lectures. The tutors were responsive and gave constructive feedback on assignments.

TEFL Review

Taking the TEFL course has been an incredibly refreshing and empowering journey. What I expected to be a simple teacher training turned out to be a deeply engaging experience that sparked creativity, confidence, and a new sense of purpose.

From the start, the course was hands-on and dynamic. Every session involved not just learning techniques but applying them through practical tasks—lesson planning, teaching demos, grammar games, and interactive speaking activities. It never felt like a lecture; it felt like real-world preparation, and that made it exciting.

The integrated skills approach taught me how to blend listening, speaking, reading, and writing into cohesive lessons. I especially enjoyed the emphasis on student-centered learning, using context, and creating meaningful engagement through warmers, storytelling, and visuals. Designing lessons and watching them come alive was both challenging and energizing.

However, some parts of the course felt a bit rushed. Certain sessions, especially grammar explanations, could have been more detailed and clearer for better understanding. At times, the fast-paced schedule didn’t allow enough time to reflect or absorb what we were learning, and more real-world examples would have helped clarify some concepts.

In summary, the TEFL course was worthwhile. With a few improvements in structure and clarity, it could be so much more impactful for future trainees.
