Your Teaching Experience

A typical week consists of 18 to 25 classes from Monday to Friday, with most weekends free (great!). Classes are typically 50 minutes long, with instruction focusing mostly on English for Communication. You should create them to be engaging and enjoyable.

You may expect to devote 15 to 20 hours each week to class planning, grading, and extracurricular activities. Most schools employ a substantial number of foreign teachers, and most cities have a sizable community of international educators and ex-pats.

I contacted The TEFL Institute with. an interest in taking one of their courses. Killian Bukulin contacted my promptly and was most helpful in assisting me to decide which option was most suited to me. He supported me in my decision making without any pressure. He presented me with the different options and discussed the pros and cons of them. He was pleasant and very professional to deal with! I am delighted so far with my choice and this path! Thank you!......Update, having finished and passed the Level 5 TEFL course I am really happy with the level of support and guidance I experienced from Jenny, Laura, Anya and Jacob. Everyone whom I have dealt with have been so helpful and supportive! It was a pleasure doing this course with The TEFL Institute of Ireland!

I recently completed the Level 5 180 Hour Diploma with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.The course itself was well-structured, comprehensive, and challenging in the right ways. It covers everything from grammar and lesson planning to teaching methodologies and classroom management. I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and the practical focus, which helped me feel more confident about stepping into a classroom — whether in person or online.One thing I really appreciated was the integration of self-assessment activities and multiple-choice questions throughout each module. These were a great way to check my understanding as I went along and made the learning process more interactive and engaging.Another standout aspect of the course was the support from tutors and staff. Whenever I had questions or needed clarification, I received prompt and helpful responses. The feedback on assignments was constructive and encouraging, and the platform was easy to navigate.In short, I highly recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland to anyone looking to get TEFL certified. Whether you're aiming to travel, teach online, or start a new career path, this course is a fantastic first step.

I have taken two courses with TEFL Institute, the TEFL Certificate and the IELTS Preparation course and both were incredibly interesting and very well done. The courses have been extremely useful in my experience as a ESL teacher and would highly recommend the Institute to anyone looking to complete a teaching certification, as they allow the course taker to work at the pace they prefer and in the time that is best suited for them.

Michelle Benson was so good! Very warm and engaging. I learned so much from the course and the content was broken down into simple, easy to understand instructions. It gave me a great insight into practical teaching online.

I had an excellent chat with Elaine Lenane who explained the course details for me and answered any questions that I had with no complaints. She eased my nerves about starting the course and I'm really grateful to her for her kindness and patience.

I spoke to Elaine at the TEFL institute, and I found her really helpful. She walked me through the process of getting a course funded through social welfare, and made the whole process very easy.

Customer Care was fantastic, the horrors of attempting to navigate through all the different TEFL courses on Google was anxiety inducing and nauseating, however stumbling across the TEFL Institute of Ireland and having a chat with staff definitely calmed my nerves a bit. Staff were extremely helpful and were quick to answer my endless amount of questions and in detail. I am hoping to take that leap of faith and use my new diploma abroad and help all learners learn English!

I recently completed the 180-hour TEFL course, delivered entirely online. The course provided a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum covering essential teaching methodologies, lesson planning, and classroom management. The balance between theory and practical assignments helped prepare me for real teaching environments.The online format was user-friendly, with clear explanations, videos, and quizzes that reinforced learning. Instructor support was responsive and helpful throughout. Upon completion, I feel confident and well-equipped to teach English as a foreign language internationally.Overall, this online TEFL course is a valuable and effective program for anyone seeking to start a career in English language teaching.
