Comments on: ESLinsider Warning https://trustedteflreviews.com/2022/07/07/eslinsider-warning/ TEFL and TESOL Online Certification Course Reviews in 2026. Sun, 21 Dec 2025 07:23:59 +0000 hourly 1 By: Trusted TEFL Reviews https://trustedteflreviews.com/2022/07/07/eslinsider-warning/#comment-2371 Sun, 03 Dec 2023 20:08:57 +0000 https://trustedteflreviews.com/?p=12648#comment-2371 This is a notice to all readers:

Ian Patrick Leahy – the disgraced scam-artist who runs the Unaccredited ESLinsider TEFL (TEKA) program, has been spreading the false gossip online that “FYI: Any review that you read on the site “Trusted” TEFL reviews is likely fake.”.

This is a yet another desperate attempt by Ian to try and convince any unsuspecting readers that his low ranking on the Trusted TEFL Reviews website is somehow a conspiracy.

If Ian provided an honest service for his customers, if he hadn’t been proven to have indirectly landed a number of young teachers in a Chinese jail because of his poor advice to “buy a fake college degree if you don’t have one”, and if Ian Patrick Leahy of ESLinsider hadn’t been accused of credit card fraud – using his customers’ card details without their express agreement, and (lastly) if he hadn’t received verified customer reviews on Trusted TEFL Reviews that are all negative, then I imagine that there would be little reason for Ian to spend vast amounts of his time trying to discredit his Trusted TEFL Reviews listing:

We welcome all reviews of the ESLinsider TEFL (TEKA) program – reviews that Trusted TEFL Reviews verifies.

This one specific article about ESLinsider that perfectly sums up Ian Patrick Leahy in a nutshell:

One of the subjects covered in the article is that fact that Ian Patrick Leahy/ESLinsider was banned from Facebook in around 2017 for spreading false information.

The main reason for this denial of accreditation was due to the inability on the part of ESLinsider to provide documentation that supported a detailed breakdown of its company structure and staff hierarchy.

It was subsequently discovered that the ESLinsider TEFL program is operated by one individual, namely Ian Patrick Leahy; an individual who has no permanent address and who has a well-documented and well-known reputation for applying aggressive astroturfing techniques with which to gain new TEFL students.

ACTEFLC advises people to be extra vigilant when dealing with Mr. Ian Patrick Leahy and his ESLinsider TEFL company.

ESLinsider is unaccredited and its owner is known within the TEFL community for his attacks on credible TEFL bodies/organizations.

Take anything written by ESLinsider with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Anything written by ESLinsider has one motive in mind; to sell more ESLinsider unaccredited TEFL online courses.
