'Thanks to you I'm off to South Korea in three weeks with a nice shiny TEFL certificate. I highly recommend these guys! I enjoyed the course and found the team really helpful.'

Dear Colin!

Many thanks your congratulations and for getting back to me personally. I am pleased to report that I am now teaching English to a small group of Spanish students at the school where I teach Music!

Hi Colin,

Thank you very much. I did enjoy the course, I found it useful, and I would recommend it.

Thanks again,

Joe

I did enjoy it, I would recommend it. And some aspects (lesson planning, cultural, mixed abilities, large classes, some activities) are relevant to teaching other things (I do a lot of private home tuition of maths, physics and chemistry) and even for that I found it useful.

'Thought fellow TEFL Expressers would like to know - I passed my certificate the very week that my town was beginning free English Classes for the foreign workers. On Friday I am helping out a small group of people who have very little English. Volunteering is a great way to get practical experience and to put into practice all those things learnt on line.'

'Very interesting course and really made me think about my own use of the English language.  The interface was a bit tricky in places but otherwise a really easy to follow course that I would highly recommend.'

'A big thanks to TEFL Express for all their support through my TEFL qualification, nothing has been much trouble. I can't wait for my summer in Spain putting in to practice what I've learnt. I definitely recommend these guys!'

'I would highly recommend TEFL express after the brilliant help and support I have received. They were very quick to respond to any queries I had and offered helpful advice to swiftly resolve any problems. The online course is very accessible and easy to navigate, whilst the nature of the work is challenging and interesting. I can't wait to earn my certificate and begin teaching abroad!'

'I have found the 'on-line' chat staff very easy to communicate with and they have been very helpful. They respond immediately and when I was having trouble with the computer cutting me off they emailed me their response.'

'I definitely recommend TEFL Express to anyone who needs an organized lesson plan to complete the course and earn an official TEFL certificate. From study plans to study tips, TEFL Express makes completing the required 120 hours of the course attainable and interesting. Aside from the course, this program offers so many resources for teaching jobs and internships around the world. I didn't have to search different sites for teaching opportunities because it's all on one site. Also, the customer service is awesome. The live chat assistance is super helpful and the operators are really friendly and attentive. Thumbs up for TEFL Express!'

'I heard about the TEFL course through a friend who completed the course and was teaching abroad. He spoke highly of TEFL and convinced me to take the course. TEFL gives me an opportunity to add to my CV, travel to new exciting areas, Explore new cultures, get experience teaching and get paid for doing something I love to do! I'd highly recommend this course for those who someday hope to travel and work in a new country!'

'TEFL gives me an opportunity to travel, teach English and learn new experiences in new cultures. TEFL's teaching practice really is invaluable as you can go into a job with some confidence and knowledge of how to structure a class. They also prepare you for common problems you will encounter and how to cope with unexpected questions or disruptive students. I would happily recommend TEFL to friends who are looking for employment when travelling overseas.'

Pauric McGorry, Galway, Ireland

'I first decided to look into TEFL courses when I heard about them through a couple of my friends. Both had been lucky enough to travel abroad whilst working as an (EFL) English teacher; one friend had been in Italy and the other in South America. They told me how great TEFL can be because you can travel and work at the same time. I also came to realise that the skills were transferable to all areas of work-life.

At this point I decided to find a course which was comprehensive enough to cover teaching from all angles, from time and classroom management through to teaching with limited resources. I was fortunate enough to find an offer on LivingSocial.co.uk where the '120 hour Advanced TEFL course' was available at a discounted price. The modules are great because not only do they break down the English language in a logical way, but they also give you skills in teaching groups and on a one-to-one basis. Throughout the course, TEFL Express were great at offering support and advice and always responded to my queries pretty quickly.

I now have the skills to travel anywhere in the world or here in the UK to travel whilst teaching and learning/experiencing about new cultures. Not only this, but I can use these skills I learnt in the course in the workplace especially for the management of people and time.'

'I completed the Tefl Course with tefl Express last December (2011). I enjoyed the discipline of going through the rigours of this course at my own leisure. It is a very thorough course and the staff were always there to help. I have been teaching English as a foreign language to a number of Internationals in my home town and I am really enjoying the experience. When my husband retires we are both hoping to teach abroad. He will be seeking to do the course within the next six months. However, as he has no teaching qualification, as I have, I shall be suggesting to him that he books up for a weekend course, which would help him in a more practical way. I don't think I would have felt capable of putting into practice all the valuable things I learned, without having had some idea of how to teach them. I would highly recommend the Tefl Express course to anyone who may wish to take up teaching English as a foreign language.'

The TEFL team, have aided me in my quest to understand the aspects of working (and living) in China. The questions I asked were responded to quickly and clearly. Their help has been prompt?and much appreciated. I would recommended them to anyone and everyone, who has their heart set on being a foreign teacher in China. If you join them, it is evident they don't just 'leave you to it', offering answers and support when needed.

THANK YOU TEFL TEAM!

I have just completed my '120 hour Advanced TEFL Course', with 'TEFL Express' and I am delighted to have passed. I found this course to be both enjoyable and informative. As I worked through each Unit and progressed through each section, I was able to check upon my progress and my marks. This made the learning experience even more exciting and challenging. I was able to choose two units to suit my own learning needs and my choices of Units 'Professional English' and 'Young Learners' have already proved to be very useful. I am now using my new skills when working with pupils in school, who have either no spoken English at all, or who have English as a second language. My newly developed skills are adequately meeting their learning needs, thanks to TEFL Express. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is considering working with those who do not have English as a first language. The skills developed through this course will adequately prepare anyone for teaching English as a foreign language. Thank you 'TEFL Express'

I am very much enjoying the work of TESOL Express. I am doing the preparation for a possible return to an earlier work, teaching English to speakers of other languages. I started my professional career, in 1967, teaching English as a Second Language. I taught for three years in post-independence Nigeria. I did this immediately after my university work, where I 'majored' in communication and 'minored' in English Literature. How I wish I had had TESOL training. How I wish I had done TESOL Express prior to that work. I taught in a Teachers College and during my time, I supervised teachers. Needless to say, I learned much on the job. On November 1, 2012 I retired after a career divided between international education and international development. I decided I might like to teach again, hopefully using my experience and expertise for service as well as some income. I am doing the course with that in mind. I am both challenged by and enjoying my study.
