OISE University of Toronto TEFL review, submitted by Gregory.

I enjoyed taking the course. I felt like I learned a lot. The homework assignments were a bit confusing sometimes. The assignment was always related to the topics covered by the lessons, but I did not always know exactly what was expected by the graders to demonstrate that I understood the material. It all worked out in the end, but the course discussed how people learn by modeling. I think they could have modeled some of their homework assignments. Those who run the course are very serious about teaching. If someone is looking to go overseas to teach, I think this course will help them. I work in a completely different industry, but I have been involved in international business travel for the last 25 years. I don’t know if I will ever teach in an international school, but I am glad I took the course.

It wasn’t easy deciding which online TEFL course to take because all the programs seem to offer the same type of courses and it’s hard to tell which ones are legit.

I chose the 120-hour TEFL/TESOL with TEFL Online Pro because it was a safe option (reviews+awards) and the price was in my Goldilocks zone. It’s accredited properly (unlike some other programs, whose accreditation is not legit) and the staff are super supportive so don’t worry if you’ve never taught before.

It’s a 14-module course with multiple-choice quizzes and two lesson plan coursework assignments. I was very nervous about creating my first lesson plan, but Paul reassured me and gave me the confidence to get the job done. For the second one, I found the structure of the course and the course content jelled perfectly and I aced the assignment.

The other benefits of TEFL Online Pro include a career service, and visa support. These are very important if you want professional help navigating the job market. We arranged a 30-minute Skype call and discussed the pros and cons of teaching online vs. somewhere overseas. I decided to get my feet wet by teaching online (Preply+VIPKid) and now a year on, I’m in Hanoi, teaching adults and kids and some business English students.

If you want to take a course that will challenge you, actually teach you how to teach, and help you find a job, this is the program.

Went in with no teaching experience whatsoever and came out with the tools needed. Thanks

Why I chose the TEFL Online Pro program.

1. It is a highly-rated online TEFL/TESOL course.
2. The TEFL Online Pro course is fully accredited. This means that the course meets strict standards of quality and professionalism and that graduates of the course are highly sought after by employers all over the world.
3. It won the Teachers’ Choice Award last year and is one of the 5 Best recommended TEFL/TESOL courses to take in 2024.
4. The cost of the course was reasonable, considering it included 24/7 dedicated tutor support and post-course job assistance. My tutor was available to answer any questions or concerns that I had, as well as provide feedback on lesson plans and teaching materials. The tutor came across as highly experienced and qualified. My job assistance support person was also highly knowledgeable and was available around the clock to answer the many questions I had.
5. The back and forth with the school when I had a question was excellent. I got an almost instant reply every time.
6. The course is designed to be flexible, allowing students to complete it at their own pace. There are no strict deadlines or schedules, and I could study whenever I had time, making it ideal for me because I was working full time and had other commitments.
7. The course is divided into twelve modules, covering all aspects of teaching English as a foreign language, including grammar, phonology, lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching techniques. Each module is divided into several units, each of which consists of a detailed lesson plan, teaching materials, and interactive quizzes and exercises to help students understand and retain the information. The quizzes were fun to complete, and the feedback I received on my lesson plans was always motivating and just so helpful.
8. The course is also recognized by all international organizations and institutions. This recognition further highlights the quality and credibility of the TEFL Online Pro course.

Cons:

While the TEFL Online Pro course is highly rated and offers many benefits, there are a few potential drawbacks to consider:

1. Lack of in-person teaching experience: While the course does include practical assignments, these are done online, which may not provide the same level of experience as in-person teaching.
2. The online format of the course may not be suitable for everyone. Some individuals may prefer the face-to-face interaction and hands-on experience provided by in-person courses, and may find it difficult to stay motivated and engaged when studying online.

Overall, the 120-hour online TEFL course is a comprehensive and flexible option for anyone interested in pursuing a career in teaching English as a foreign language. The course provides a solid foundation for teaching, and this was noted when I began interviewing for jobs and when the questions I was asked were information I remembered from the course. As a result, I could answer all the interviewers’ questions and they were impressed with my TEFL knowledge.

I am traveling and teaching (online) and this seems to be the sweet spot for me.

If you want the experience of teaching in a classroom full of students, definitely teach in person. You might get lucky and work under a good manager, or you might not. You might also have to do a lot of non-paid work, such as marking homework and attending stupid school events that often make no sense. So there are pros and cons there too.

If you just want to travel and earn money as you nomad your way around the world, I would recommend teaching online. I teach for a few schools so I don’t have all my eggs in the same basket. For me, the pros far outweigh any cons of teaching online. I didn’t give up my job just to go work for someone else. Technically, I do work for the people who own the online schools I teach for, but they rarely bother me.

If I ever find a place where I want to settle, I will strongly consider teaching at a school. I’ll just be super choosy about the working conditions.

Until then, I am 100% satisfied with teaching English online from any place where I currently find myself.
