I signed up for the 300 Hour Level 5 TEFL Course to help me continue living and working in Thailand. I didn't have a degree so I wanted to do the best course. My online courses were easily accessible from my Dashboard, modules for each course were laid out well and the resources for each course were excellent.

I just completed the 10-hour Virtual TEFL Course and am on a high! Our tutor, Michelle Benson, was enthusiastic and informative and... involved everyone in the lessons, building a good rapport and making the whole experience fun and engaging. The course is well structured with lots of interaction, giving those who are a little shy or nervous about talking in front of others more confidence. I found the teaching practice stage and feedback invaluable. I recommend this course for teaching practice, lesson planning, tutoring and peer motivation.

As someone with no prior experience in teaching, the two-day 10 hour TEFL classroom methodologies course made me more confident in planning... lessons and knowing what to teach students at different levels. The instructor, Michelle Benson, gave a well structured course that covered a lot of important topics. We had to plan a short lesson on the second day, and Michelle gave us very great feedback and what was good and what we can improve on. I would recommend this to anyone who is starting out in teaching English.read more
