Learning to Teach English on My Own

I finished the online TEFL Level 5 course, which required me to work through everything independently. Despite the lack of classmates and in-person help, I found the course to be well-structured and replete with information I could use right away. It covered the full range of topics and types of knowledge a new teacher would need—teaching methods, classroom management, and the like, and I learned a ton.

The online format enabled me to learn at my own pace, and I valued the real-world applicability of the lessons. I’ve since applied to some of the teacher placement programs the course suggested, and I’m just now starting to hear back. I feel much more prepared to step into a classroom; in fact, I’m excited about it. I’d recommend the course to anyone who wants to get certified from home and is ready to take a real hand in their learning.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Ensure you are prepared to keep yourself motivated. You cannot rely on others for this.
The online Level 5 TEFL course is packed with fantastic materials. However, since it’s an independent endeavor, you have to really be focused to get through it. There are no classmates or live sessions to buoy your spirits and keep you moving forward. It’s just you and your self-discipline. If you lean more towards needing that external pressure to stay on a path, then be warned: this course is entirely within your control. And it’s a good thing; it allows you to set small goals that really keep you moving. You’ve got to stick to a schedule. And don’t be afraid to reach out to the course instructors if you’re feeling lost.
Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Comprehensive Course Content
  • Helps build independence
Cons
  • No Hands-On Practice
  • Requires Strong Self-Motivation
  • Delayed Feedback

Rewarding experience with The TEFL Academy

Studying at the TEFL Academy online was a truly rewarding, productive and worthwhile experience overall.

To begin with, the price is comparatively appropriate, and you get immediate access to the course once you enroll. The website is easy to navigate at your own pace. I also found the materials to be useful, comprehensive, and extremely easy to go through. Likewise, each unit allows you to progress as it builds on what you previously learnt.

More importantly, the TEFL Academy teachers and official correctors will send helpful guidance and feedback as soon as possible, allowing you to move on to the next unit or assignment on time.

After successfully completing the course and being awarded the Level 5 Diploma, I would highly recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone looking into getting TEFL certified through an official, professional entity.

TEFL Academy level 5 experience

About a month ago I completed this course and it has been an extremely rewarding yet challenging experience for me. I am a 17 year old living in South Africa, I believe I am much younger than most people completing this course which was a challenge especially since the assignments were quite challenging but I passed everything first time round so I believe really anyone would be able to complete this course. With regards to the content and the presentation of the content, I had a really good experience and the content was very interactive. The academy also guides you on post completion of this course which is very helpful to me as I have no experience in the workforce. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to teach english as a foreign language and is eager to travel.

What would you improve about this program?
I would like to have more interaction with the other people in this program, I sometimes felt a bit lost or uneasy especially regarding the standard of my assignments. Luckily I knew someone who had completed this course but other people probably won’t have this.
Pros
  • Good and International Qualification
  • I can work anywhere in the world
  • Online hourse are flexible
Cons
  • Looking for work
  • Having to properly study english grammar structures

Exactly what I needed!

I have been teaching at South African schools for various years as a qualified teacher. I have been looking to expand my horizons through working online, but I could not pass any of the interviews due to not having a TEFL qualification as well. I signed up for the Level 5 TEFL course and managed to complete it in a few weeks. The course was exactly what I was looking for! Signing up was straightforward, the price was appropriate, guidance was provided, feedback was timely, and the assessment was fair. I am now able to work from home and engage with students and teachers across the globe. Thank you, The TEFL Academy. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their teaching CV.

What would you improve about this program?
This program was what I expected and what I wanted. The content was clear and relevant, and the assessments were challenging in a sense of preparing you for what you will be expected to do in the working environment.
Pros
  • Quick feedback on assessments.
  • Great assistance from te support team.
  • Appropriate content.
Cons
  • Stable internet required to watch videos (this was mentioned before signing up to the course).
  • None.
  • None.

Intriguing experience

My experience with this course has given me a new insight into studying and learning more about English. Instructions and guidelines with everything from learning material, resources, and assignments are very easy to comprehend and conduct. Great way to start your career with TEFL and also a great start to wanting to travel the world. The course has also given me new skills I will most certainly use in classrooms both virtually and in the classroom. I would also like to say that the feedback from tutors and markers is explicit and very welcoming, they always make harder questions easier to answer.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Most nerve racking experience of mine was have to submit my first assignment. I was so scared to actually fail it. Thanks to the guidelines and study material I passed and was so proud.
Pros
  • Learning the history or origin of the English language
  • Trying out the fun activities out of the classroom
  • Received a certificate to my name
Cons
  • Became a bit procrastinated due to the course being online
  • Screen time was alot.

New Destiny Carved

I found this course at the best time, when I just relocated to Spain and was looking for a new income stream. I enjoyed the material, and completing it gave me great satisfaction. During the study period, I registered on the NativeCamp Japanese teaching portal and gained a lot of confidence. Also, used the lesson activities with my face-to-face student. It was fun to study and practice at the same time.

The program was interactive, loved that it referred to cool articles and other useful websites and teaching materials.
Thank you for the nice reviews of my assignments.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would take advantage of the two gratis lessons added to the program, the 1:1 teaching and the business English teaching.
Pros
  • One can learn when ever convenient with 24/7 access to the material
  • Free resources
  • The newest tech -smart using of AI including in the material
Cons
  • None

Review on level 5 TEFL course

I chose this course after researching various TEFL programs. My main priorities were international recognition and a reasonable price, and this course met both. The content was useful and engaging, and the support team was incredibly helpful—they answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. I'm very thankful for their support. The platform was also user-friendly, which made the learning experience smoother. I hope to find international job opportunities with my certificate. Overall, I’m happy with my choice.
