Wonderful for getting ones feet wet for teaching English overseas. I really enjoyed this course. It gave me a clear idea of teaching English. I do not have any education in teaching and being a nanny this helped me add something extra to my resume. I love the personal tutor and the feed back! You do not feel alone and lost through out the course.

Not currently a member of IATEFL ITTO (International Teacher Training Organization)-based in Mexico.Researching the TESOL/TEFL courses, I saw that their Website claims they are a member of IATEFL. I checked with IATEFL and they confirmed ITTO is not currently a member. I had emailed ITTO to ask about the course, they had replied. However when I asked them about the IATEFL membership, they stopped communicating. Telephone support may be based in India. Gave somewhat vague answers to my questions.

An In-Depth way to learn My experience with TEFLOnline.com has given me the opportunity to study the ESL teaching curriculum at my own pace and within the comfort of my own home. This well planned out course allows the student to focus on topics and spend time on various subjects that may be more difficult than others. Also, the program causes the student to look at the language learning experience from the ESL Students perspective and points out some of the difficulties that students of various languages may encounter when learning English. I believe that this course has given me a foundation by which I could easily teach an ESL class from a popular ESL Text Book and Workbook. I have learned much about creating fun and diverse exercises to enhance any such program and a well defined structure in which to present lessons to ESL Students. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has the ability to work on their own and is motivated to absorb the information from each module that will provide them with well rounded skills to be a great ESL Teacher!!!!!!

5 stars for TEFL online Very straight forward, comprehensive and user friendly course. Plus a helpful, encouraging tutor. Thank you!

TEFLOnline: Essay, Simple, and Straightfoward Taking the TEFLOnline tests was actually a fine experience. I was able to work at my own pace, read what I needed, and do whatever what was necessary according to my own schedule. The packet I bought allowed me 3 months to finish, but this was more than enough time. The readings were also informative and straight to the point, and the quizzes try to help the learner rather than trick them. Some of the essay questions were a bit redundant, though. However, a few of the essay questions prompted me to make my own lesson plan, and this really aided me in my training to becoming an ESL instructor (I have kept the lesson plans I made for this test--very helpful!). Generally, I had a positive experience with TEFLOnline, and have in fact recommended it to a few of my friends to check out. The readings are fast, simple, and clear, the quizzes do not attempt to trick you, and the essays help you think critically about the material. If anything, it was a fun-come-home-from-work-to-do-activity for me since I knew that passing the test would also benefit me far into the future. Recommended!!
