“Honestly this is my first time taken a tefl course so I don’t know too much about other programs but if you really want to be successful in your EFL or ESL teaching career TEFL Academy is the program for you. They literally strive and put in effort into the courses to make sure you are knowledgeable of the basic principles of becoming an effective teacher.

“As a teacher, the TEFL course helped shift my perspective through comprehensive training in lesson planning and cultural sensitivity. At times, I felt slightly rushed and frustrated from the purely online nature of the class, but for the most part, the straightforward delivery, helpful resources and friendly teacher allowed me to make the learning my own. I only wish I could start teaching ESL tomorrow, leveraging the new skill set acquired.”

“I thoroughly researched several TEFL courses before deciding on the 11-week online TEFL course at International TEFL Academy (ITA). My experience began with Erica, an exceptional Admissions Advisor who took the time to answer all my questions via email and multiple phone calls. Her dedication and support were invaluable in helping me make an informed decision. The course itself was well-structured, with assignments that aligned perfectly with the learning objectives. ITA provides an abundance of resources, which I found incredibly helpful. My instructor, Emily, was outstanding. I looked forward to our weekly class posts and appreciated her insightful feedback on my assignments. What truly sets ITA apart is the personalized service, starting from the admissions process to the course delivery. If you're considering a TEFL course, I highly recommend reaching out to ITA. Take the leap and enroll, you won't regret it! Lu M”
