This is the second Premier TEFL course that I have taken, and this time I took the IELTS preparation course so I can help my students to prepare for the exam. It was very informative and I liked the fact that you can work at your own pace within a 6 month time frame.

Walter was a ray of sunshine during a very overwhelming time. The TEFL course deadline was pressing, and I was struggling to keep up with... everything due to life circumstances. Walter went above and beyond. He personally arranged for everything I needed and more to ensure I could finish my TEFL studies successfully. He was incredibly responsive and helpful, and I never felt like just another number. Thanks to Walter's personal attention, I feel confident and supported again. Huge thanksread more

I had the privilege of being a student in Michelle Benson's 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course, and I can... confidently say that it was an empowering experience. As someone with ADHD, I often struggle to stay focused and engaged during live classes. However, Michelle's teaching style captivated my attention from the very beginning! Michelle presented the course objectives in a fun and innovative way, and her ability to make even the most "boring" concepts exciting was truly inspiring. I found myself eagerly participating in discussions and activities, which is not an easy thing for me.Michelle treated every student with respect and kindness and encouraged every participant to actively participate. Her encouragement made me feel valued and motivated to excel. Her course equipped me with practical tools, ideas, and resources that I can apply directly in the classroom. One of the highlights was when Michelle taught us a few basic phrases in Amharic. I was thrilled to share this newfound knowledge with my Ethiopian friend, who laughed and corrected my pronunciation. I wholeheartedly recommend this 10-hour practical teaching course to anyone teaching or planning to teach TEFL. Whether you're a seasoned educator or a TEFL student, this course is invaluable.I can't wait to apply what I learned with my students! :)read more
