What our teachers say

Niamh

After my final year exams, I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life but I knew I wanted to go traveling again. So I completed the TEFL course, saw there was an internship in Vietnam offered and booked onto it straight away. Coming to Vietnam has probably been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

    Have just enrolled a few days ago in the 300 hours course so it's early days yet on my TEFL journey, but so far so good. Sincere thanks to Elaine in the enrollment section of the TEFL Institute who was a pleasure to deal with. She was extremely helpful and responsive in providing information about the different types of courses, as well as guidance on which course(s) would be the most useful and suitable for me, as well as providing various other guidance on the ins and outs of undertaking a TEFL course.

    I'm editing this review as I have since finished the course.This is a very solid course, with plenty of material and resources. I have yet to begin teaching, but I do feel well prepared by all which the 180 hour course provided, including activities and games, advice on classroom management, advice on teaching styles and methods etc.There are weekly zoom classes which one can join though there is no in-person element to the course which I purchases when it comes to the actual teaching.I found the team at the TEFL Institute to be extremely friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. I spoke with Tracy in the chat on their website and had all my questions answered.They have an option to have a phone call with an advisor, and I spoke with Sórcha O' Connell. She really helped me figure out what course would be best for my specific situation, as I was trying to find something that would give me qualifications to work abroad in Europe.

    I have completed the 10 hour TEFL course which includes teaching practice. I am really satisfied with the knowledge and materials I gained. The instructor, Michelle Benson, is amazing and super supportive. She not only presented the information, but also gave some valuable insights.

    Just completed a 2-day TEFL training course with Michelle Kaufmann and it was fantastic! Michelle was super friendly, made the sessions very comfortable, and explained everything really clearly. She answered all our questions and kept things interactive. I’d highly recommend this training to anyone wanting to start a career in TEFL.

    Completed the 30 hour teaching online certificate. Great way to learn about the difference between teaching online and traditional classroom lessons. Detailed course which supplements its teachings with many examples of lesson plans and activities. Very helpful description of different online teaching platforms and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as discussing the potential of freelance work.

    Sórcha was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in explaining the different options I had when it came to choosing a course, she was also very accommodating when I needed an extension to complete the course.

    I had an incredible experience at the TEFL Irish Institute and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get certified. The staff are absolutely fantastic especially Sórcha, who genuinely supports me a lot and helps me when I need– I am taking some courses such as 180 hours of TEFL. The courses themselves were incredibly well-structured, covering everything from classroom management to lesson planning. I feel fully prepared to step into the world of teaching English abroad, and the practical training really prepares participants for success.
