Your trip Itinerary

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.

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!

I purchased the 310 hour course and completed the TEFL 180 hour Level 5 course through the TEFL Institute. I am continuing to work on the additional courses. The material for the 180 hour course was comprehensive and relevant. I especially appreciated links noted in lessons to websites useful for future lesson material. When I contacted the TEFL Institute with a concern or question, my tutor responded quickly and the issue resolved. Also, the general webinars on TEFL teaching have been very helpful as I move forward as a TEFL teacher. I choose the TEFL Institute after a comparison of the top TEFL schools and visiting the school websites. The TEFL Institute website, for me, was sensibly laid out, the information was straight forward and overall not too "busy". When I contacted the school requesting a phone call, the call was scheduled, the staff member was friendly and my questions were answered. A caveat is the time frame for completing the entire course; it is short and I struggled due to obligations and unexpected events. I purchased a time extension but there should be more time allotted.

I’ve recently started my TEFL course and so far I’m very impressed with the experience. The course is well-organized, easy to navigate, and the content is engaging and informative. Even in the early stages, I feel like I’m gaining valuable knowledge and practical insights into teaching English as a foreign language.A special thanks to Killian Bukulin, who has been incredibly helpful and informative throughout the enrollment and onboarding process. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain the course structure clearly, and made me feel confident that I had chosen the right program. His professionalism and support have made starting the course a smooth and positive experience.I’m excited to continue my studies and would highly recommend this TEFL course to anyone considering a career in English language teaching.
