I had always that I knew it all as long as it had to do with English language but this course has exposed me to so many different things I never even knew existed. It’s really very interesting and I am loving it all the way.

War eine tolle Erfahrung, den 180 Stundenkurs TEFL Level 5 "durchzuackern". Die kleineren Aufbaukurse im Gesamtpaket runden das Ganze ab. Hat Spass gemacht!

I really enjoyed the TEFL course. The teachers explain everything clearly, and the lessons are engaging and well organized. I truly appreciate the effort the team puts into the course.The only issue I have is that I submitted my Assessment 3 on July 6, but I still haven't received the result. I would be very grateful if you could help resolve this issue.Thank you for your support!

A relaxed yet buzzed up, non intimidating environment that lent itself to learning easily. Host & tutor Michelle Benson was exceptionally welcoming, pleasant, encouraging & entertaining, smiling & supportive throughout, which is why I consider 4.7 an accurate star rating; I would just like to have engaged in more than a few minutes of teaching practise during the course. Sincere gratitude to Michelle and the TEFL team, Anthony.

I had an excellent experience with The TEFL Institute whilst completing my 180 Hour Diploma and learnt so much. There was a broad focus on both face-to-face and online teaching. This made the course useful for different settings. The in-depth study of the various lesson structures has equipped me to plan lessons accordingly. Plus, throughout the modules, the amount of additional websites offered really helped to point me in the right direction, most of which would use in the future.My tutor, Laura Graham, was easily available when I needed to communicate with her and she was extremely quick to assess my work. She gave clear positive feedback and provided ongoing support and encouragement. I felt very confident in Laura as a tutor. She was always more than happy to advise. Laura was so easy to converse and so friendly. There were occasions when Laura responded to my queries late at night when I did not think i would get a reply until the next day. She most definitely is not a 9-5 tutor. When I had been having difficulty with the platform, without hesitation, she added additional time. It was so clear that Laura is dedicated to her role and I really appreciated this.When I needed to freeze my course, the institute was so accommodating and did so without question and without charge. Also, whenever I needed to make contact, John was very helpful.I would most certainly recommend The Irish Institute.

Such a fantastic course that puts theory into practice in a way that is fun and meaningful. I was a bit unsure beforehand but Michelle Benson made me comfortable from the very beginning and helped me feel more comfortable with lesson plans. She helped give me more confidence in my teaching. She made the course engaging and interactive while also bringing humour into it. I would highly recommend this course to anyone and everyone!

Yesterday I finished my 10 hour Virtual TEFL course (with teaching practice) and, even though I was pretty anxious at first (what with it being online and with people I knew nothing about), it went amazing!Michelle Benson is a wonderful teacher and a wonderful human being, and you can actually feel how much she loves her job and her passion for it!So yeah, this was a 10/10 and I would 100% recommend this course to you if you want to get a taste of how teaching could feel like ^^PS: wish the course could've been longer, I'm already missing Michelle and all of my classmates, they were simply wonderful

As part of a hybrid 180 hour diploma, I did a 10 hour practicum course with TEFL institute. Not only was did the short two days of learning provide us with all the basics for effective teaching methodology, it was also just such a blast; a rewarding time all-around. The 10 hour practicum course is an incredibly fun and educational add-on to any certificate or TEFL journey in general, I think. Michelle Benson, our instructor for these classes, was very experienced, patient, and knowledgeable. She made the classes feel approachable and super entertaining. It’s apparent that the TEFL team is full of genuinely passionate professionals, and Michelle is no exception! You’d be surprised how quickly you feel like you start to get to know people in these short courses too! I feel so much more encouraged to keep learning so that I can apply more and more knowledge, using the skills I learned here, in teaching.

I had a follow up call with Jessica after completing the 120 hour TEFL certificate and she helped me so much. She made me feel calm and excited to be an ESL teacher. I have had a ton of success as a result of our meeting so I am very grateful!
