I followed the 180hour level 5 TEFL course online, the program is clearly organized and there is always help available when you need it.... Due to being in a different time zone, I couldn’t attend any meetings but they always have useful meetings to help with different topics. I can’t wait to start teaching!read more

I was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism and support I received from Premier TEFL. Even when I encountered a few... challenges along the way, their team responded promptly and helpfully every single time. Thanks to Lisa for your prompt response, and Jenny O'Sullivan the Course Assessment Officer.One of the highlights of my learning journey was the online course led by Michelle Benson. She’s an amazing teacher who is clear, engaging, and full of energy. Every session felt exciting and well-structured, and she always made complex topics easy to understand. Michelle’s teaching style kept me motivated and made the course feel enjoyable from beginning to end.I would highly recommend Premier TEFL to anyone looking for a solid and supportive platform to begin or advance their TEFL journey.

I recently took a 10-hour TEFL class online with Michelle K. and I have to say, it was very helpful. She went over teaching methods in the... ESL classroom and gave us instruction on how to set up a lesson, what strategies to use, and how to make sure your students get the material. We were also given instruction on how to draft our own lesson plans and were able to get real-world teaching practice by simulating a classroom teaching session where our classmates were students, which was nerve-wracking but necessary and useful.Michelle was kind, accommodating, patient and really knew her stuff. She has a unique and effective way of demonstrating language acquisition where she introduces a completely foreign third language to demonstrate language acquisition and put her students in the shoes of their future students. It was a brilliant use of the Gattegno Immersion-based teaching strategy.She made the time go by quickly as she focused on class interaction and her material was fresh and well structured. She was very positive and helped those of us with no teaching experience feel comfortable sharing and discussing among strangers. Her instruction was essential in helping us grasp classroom dynamics and teacher-to-student interaction. If you’re trying to get learn practical skills for teaching ESL, take the 10-hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course with Michelle K. It’s worth it if you are a brand-new teacher with no classroom experience or a seasoned teacher who has been away from the classroom for some time.read more

I have completed the 180 hour Level 5 course and I have to say: Premier TEFL courses are MASTERPIECES and I am not exaggerating. The... information provided was very useful, the tips on how to work with different materials, how to engage and motivate students throughout the learning process have already helped me with my current students. Special thanks to the team who answered all my questions (even outside of working hours): Rachel, Jenny and Anya, and of course the Academic Director Jacob Thomas. After this course I fell even more in love with teaching.read more
