This isn’t even remotely true.

The TEFL Academy bought high in 2021 when the previous owners sold the company.

Ever since, it appears they have been scrambling, by any means, to recoup their losses.

The TEFL Academy isn’t even accredited, but they will swear blind that they are.

They rarely attack business competitors with their real name. Instead, they rely upon their affiliate marketers – marketers who swear blind they have nothing to do with The TEFL Academy.

Two spring to mind: Caitriona McTiernan and Megan Broccoli.

To succeed in TEFL, you are required to hold a 120-Hour TEFL certificate (+20 hours if it includes teaching practice.) Any course that requires you to take more hours is just marketing banter.

Hello Erin.

Thank you so much for your positive response!

If I’m around in Wien this summer, contact me and let’s meet for a coffee and a slice of Sacher if you have the time.

It’s not very surprising that these fake websites are out to attack your work here on TrustedTEFLReviews. You are doing something right, because those attacks are extremely childish and signs that they are out of rope. None of their attacks are substantiated in thorough research and professional criticism against you. So, only fools will believe them.

But it is because of your work here that has helped me to confirm that I had been tricked by ITTT. Ever since then, it has made me very diligent. Thank you!
So, I am so excited that you live in Austria! I used to live and study there 20 years ago (2003/2004). I lived in Klagenfurt and got a teaching job there that was near Slovenia. So long ago, but I live in Germany now. Austria was the changing game for my entire life and I am always looking for an excuse to go back there over and over again, lol. I’m thinking of going to Wien over the Summer.

!!!!! I definitely back you !!!!

Thank you, Esther!

Sorry for the late reply.

Kind regards

Continues to spread misinformation not only about trustedteflreviews, but also about other reputable websites that he hopes to chew meat off the bone from.

This was absolutely no surprise to me.

Ian Leahy painstakingly tries to project an image of a TEFL expert, but he is actually just trying to sell his (unrecognized) TEKA (TEFL) course.
