The lessons are excellent, but the marking is very poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to start with what I liked about my TEFL Academy course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a self-paced course, with some assistance along the way, and this was exactly what I was looking for in terms of flexibility and freedom of study. I was able to complete modules at home, in the park, anywhere where I had @, and where it was quiet enough for me to be able to focus properly. The course covers many areas of teaching English, and I liked how it was presented. I guess you could just steam through the course and finish it within a few days by not reading the texts and just answering the questions, but you would be missing out on a lot. As a caveat, though, I do need to add that this is the only online TEFL course that I have taken, so I can&#8217;t compare it with any others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what I didn&#8217;t like about my TEFL Academy course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did let the course down though was the feedback on the coursework. The feedback was copied and pasted material. At least it seemed obvious to me that it was. I felt demotivated by this because I hadn&#8217;t needed to work my butt off so much on them, thinking that a qualified moderator would fully read my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend the course, but I don&#8217;t advise to take the coursework too seriously. As long as your lesson plan looks good enough, you will receive the same feedback that I received when I submitted mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a final note, I can write that there wasn&#8217;t that much help with a job search, but I didn&#8217;t require this support anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedteflreviews.com\/category\/the-tefl-academy\/\">The TEFL Academy reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New!
