The TEFL Institute
Start teaching English online & abroad
If you are looking to change your career or embark on a new adventure then TEFL is perfect for you. Choose between a wide variety of TEFL courses to start your TEFL journey today with the TEFL Institute!
What is TEFL?
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It is primarily teaching non-native speakers English without the use of translation. This means you won’t need to know their first language. TEFL teachers will need the knowledge and know-how of the methodologies to teach in this way. This is why teachers must first complete a TEFL course and gain the qualification. TEFL is widely used to teach English online in one-to-one or small group scenarios or to teach English abroad and is sometimes even used as an easier way to travel.
What is the best TEFL Course?
One thing to look out for in a TEFL course is that the TEFL company offers an Ofqual-regulated Level 5 TEFL certification. This means the content, teaching, and materials have been examined carefully and are of high quality. A qualification regulated by the UK Office for Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) can be awarded to learners. Another alternative is an externally accredited certification; however, you should make sure that you get at least 120 hours of training, which is the industry benchmark for employers worldwide.
Why Choose Us?
Because we care about your TEFL journey from the moment you decide you want to teach English as a foreign language. We want you to be well prepared, to have the right qualifications and all the skills necessary to realize all of your ambitions. The TEFL Institute assists you every step of the way and offer guidance to ensure you take the right course or TEFL job that best suits your needs.

Verified Student Reviews
Testimonials from students who have taken courses through The Institute and found success teaching English online or abroad.
I'm a third of the way through the 180 Hour TEFL Diploma. Very well laid-out; easily accessible. The company itself comes across as very creditable and professional. I look forward to providing a more fulsome review once the Diploma is completed (along with the Business English course), but so far so good.

I recently completed the 10‑hour Virtual TEFL Course with Michelle Benson, and honestly it exceeded all my expectations. Michelle is an outstanding tutor — warm, engaging, and able to build rapport instantly. With 30 years of teaching experience, she is a true fountain of knowledge.Having completed the 300‑hour TEFL Advanced Diploma last year, I found this course particularly invaluable because it is so practical and hands‑on. I only wish I had known about it sooner. It has given me far more confidence in teaching a full lesson implementing the PPP method, sharing slides/images on Zoom, and eliciting effectively from students. Preparation was a major focus for this, and I was genuinely inspired by the excellent PowerPoint presentations and creative games produced by my fellow students.Michelle even managed to simplify some of the notoriously difficult grammar tenses — no small achievement. Everything was covered step by step and there were plenty of short breaks too, which were an added bonus and kept everyone focused and energised. This course is essential for any aspiring TEFL tutor and has been a genuine game changer for me.Thank you Michelle
So far, I have finished one of the online courses provided by this institute and I have to confess that it has been super informative and useful. Not only do they focus on increasing the explicit knowledge of teachers, but they also introduce engaging and effective classroom alternatives to elevate your practice. They indeed help you achieve "an informed eclectic approach" in your teaching. 10/10

I have completed two courses with TEFL Institute — the 180-hour Level 5 TEFL course and the 30-hour IELTS Exam Preparation course — and I have recently enrolled in the 30-hour Teaching English Online course. Across all of these, the experience has been consistently well-organized and academically useful.The course materials are clear, relevant, and supported by well-designed assessments after each module. What stands out in particular is the speed and quality of feedback. Responses are prompt, detailed, and genuinely support improvement, which helps maintain momentum throughout the course.I would like to acknowledge my tutor, Laura Graham, for her guidance and constructive feedback, as well as Olivia Klimczyk for her continuous support and quick responses to my inquiries about different programs. Their professionalism contributes significantly to the overall quality of the learning experience.Another important strength is that the certificates are internationally recognized, which adds practical value for those pursuing teaching opportunities in different contexts.Overall, the institute provides a structured and supportive learning environment. For individuals considering professional development in English language teaching, this is a credible and worthwhile option.
