Instructor-led Online TEFL Course

I really enjoyed working with staff from Teaching Nomad. They are very friendly, patient, supportive and resourceful. When I have a question, they contact me immediately. Not only they provide professional customer service, Teaching Nomad have created a very clear organized online TEFL program. There was no due date or pressure; I was able to go my own pace. If you love traveling and teaching English, then I definitely recommend this program to you!

I was very satisfied with Teaching Nomad's setup. Not only were they "hands-on" with regards to support and assistance, they helped me acquire both job and TEFL certification with ease. They ensured that I had a great profile for potential employers to have an idea of my ability and experience within the teaching world. They acted as a bridge where I felt relaxed about the major culture shock that occurs when teaching in a new country. Great company, great people, 100% satisfaction.

I'm a qualified teacher, have been for almost 3 years now, and you can imagine my annoyance when I was told that even though I have a Bachelors Degree, a Teaching Certificate and 3 years experience, I still had to do a TEFL Course. I mean, by now you would think that I knew quite a lot about the profession, and handling ESL learners should be a breeze. What else could I possibly learn- surely not much! WRONG! Handling 28 little girls is quite different to handling smaller classes and teaching an ESL is different to teaching Home Language like I do. I learnt that there are somethings that could work in my class of 28 that wouldn't work for a smaller class. I was reminded of the things that we don't normally consciously think about when teaching, but we practice everyday in the classroom, and that is the importance of the teacher-learner relationship and the importance of the affective filter in successful learning. This course opened me up to new aspects of teaching and helped me refresh many things that I had learned in university and in the classroom. This TEFL course has equipped me with the tools that I will require to have a successful teaching career in my new job in China and hopefully, in years to come, many other ESL countries in the world.

Teaching abroad is a unique experience. You meet a lot of cool people. You see a lot of cool places. You eat a lot of good food. You make new friends. You visit another country. You can teach students. I suggest that you live abroad. You make a lot of memories. You broaden your horizons. You can impact the lives of your students. It's a great opportunity for everyone. It is a grand adventure. You can see all the cool tourist spots. You can learn a new language. It is so much fun. My experience is unique. My experience is unique because I am unique. You are unique as well, so your experience will be unique to you.

In this online programme, I could learn teaching English in an easy way from home. The teaching movies we had to see were very helpful - I got a great idea of how teaching should be done. The films were instructive and gave good examples of bad teachers and teachers that were very good. I learned about classroom management, teaching to children of different age groups and the way you manage classes of different sizes. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a TEFL certificate, because you learn a lot!

During this course, I have learned a lot about teaching and improved my teaching skills. My classmates were motivated and serious, which contributed to a good learning environment. The trainers were very helpful and professional, and they prepared me for being a teacher in China. They also helped me to find a job, which was great. I would certainly recommend this course if you want to teach abroad!

Although I've had a bit of teaching experience in the past, the TEFL course helped solidify the structure needed to handle students at any age. The lesson part segment was the most challenging yet most rewarding part of the course. The very next day after completing this TEFL course, I had to teach two new classes on the first day of my job with very little time to prepare. Management was impressed with my ability to teach at the level I was able to with very short notice.

Before coming to China I was not sure if teaching English was for me. Committing myself to a long-term expensive course was not really an option for me, so when I found out about this course I was sold. The course is very convenient, practically at no cost and the material is very interesting and super useful. Never a dull moment! Especially the videos, of trainees and experienced trainers teaching, were really interesting. Once in China I believe the course helped me to find a job as it shows my commitment and to be honest you really learn a lot of practical skills. This makes me confident when I stand in front of a group of naughty little Chinese children :) .
