The World

Hello my name is Chad Harper. The course for me was one of the best educational experiences of my life. I have been through college and this was like a very intense, hyper focused college course to get you ready for a life long career! Classmates turned into friends I still keep in touch over a year later. I started working immediately after graduation. I had many job offers but chose to teach online. In the past year teaching online has allowed me to travel around Mexico, to Amsterdam, Spain, New York City, Italy, Morocco, Poland and I am currently in The Gambia- west Africa. Being part of a forever growing industry gives me such peace of mind. Work opportunities are constantly coming my way and I plan to continue seeing the WORLD! Here are some pics from these wonderful travels.

Working and living in Japan is such a fun experience. I had always loved the beautiful pictures on the internet but seeing shrines, going to festivals and making friends here is completely different. The food is delicious, fresh and every prefecture specializes in something different. Im in Fukuoka where Tonkotsu ramen is famous in the country. Cherry blossom season comes and goes but a new beautiful flower always blooms shortly after. All year round is a continuous cycle of different flowers. It’s so pretty!

Everyone in this country is so helpful and courteous. I learn something new here everyday. The culture is very different from other countries and it’s so much fun learning about it. The people in Japan also really enjoy hearing about your home country too. It’s nice meeting people and sharing stories.

Teaching English in Japan is a rewarding job. I get to know so many people of all ages. While it is a very different culture, you will have help from everyone around you.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. A year prior to starting my myTEFL journey, I volunteered at a private English school in rural Indonesia (with no prior experience in the TEFL field!). I loved it so much that I decided to pursue teaching abroad as a career. I’ve always loved to travel, and I’ve always been a bit of a language nerd. myTEFL was the best possible thing I could’ve found to help me get into the field professionally! The course is so informative & interesting, I often found myself looking forward to logging on & working on it. It teaches everything you need to know about working in a foreign classroom. You’ll learn a wide variety of things, from different teaching methods & classroom dynamics, complex grammar structure, grading methods, to pros & cons of working in popular TEFL destinations. After completing this course, I feel much more confident & prepared for my next teaching position abroad! I purchased their Thailand Internship package, which I also highly recommend. It’s so convenient & exciting to have a paid position secured upon completion of your course! I find it extremely helpful to have someone to walk me through the process of finding a job in another country. Not only that, but having someone to help get me to my destination & on the ground assistance once I’m there is very comforting as well. I’ve heard they are also extremely helpful with job placement outside of the company. No matter what your goals are, their extremely attentive staff will help walk you through it. If you’re thinking about purchasing this course, just do it!! You won’t regret it.

My experience with My TEFL has been amazing. At first I was hesitant to do it, and one day decided to go for it. It was the best decision I could have ever made and I’m so happy with it. The set up is just amazing and they’re always there to help you out!

In the early months of 2020 I was feeling ready for a change. I had been working in the same job for about two years and had just enjoyed a life changing holiday in Japan a few months back. When later in the year we were all forced to stay home, my feelings of wanderlust only amplified. Looking to accomplish something positive during our time stuck inside, my partner and I both signed up for the myTEFL 120 hour course and found it intellectually stimulating and extremely fun. The course covered every question that I had about teaching (and more) and made me feel fully equipped to teach in classrooms around the world in the near future. Beyond just teaching language, the course offered fabulous tips for leadership and feedback that I feel I can apply in my existing career, so even if I never decide to teach abroad, I’ll be able to apply the skills learned in the course to better myself in my professional and personal life. MyTEFL has given me a light at the end of the tunnel that was 2020!

Monteria, Colombia

Earlier in July, I started my journey with myTEFL because of my desire to teach abroad. I got an offer with a British school in Colombia and one of the basic requirements for processing my visa was a TEFL certificate.

Luckily, I was able to register with myTEFL and their 40-hour online course was the key towards securing my visa to the country.

My first week of teaching was completely different from my expectations but with the training and exposure I got during my course, I was able teach and relate to my students. There are a lot of differences between my country and Colombia in terms of teaching and learning but it’s an experience I am glad I prepared myself for. I didn’t think I needed to do an online English class since I could speak, read, and write well but I now know better.

Thanks to myTEFL and special thanks to Tina for always being there to rescue me!

So you’re probably sitting there, meandering through every single TEFL review spot you can think of in hopes of finding one that will teach you well after looking at the price of the CELTA and TESOL, and saying to yourself “nah”. After looking at the sheer amount of TEFL courses online, the only question that comes up is “how legitimate exactly are these things?” You can really only go with your gut and what you’ve read previously online, so you press the big red button and go ahead and press “buy”. After completing the course and witnessing the level of professionalism that the company employees have, I really have to give them my highest recommendation.

Let’s start with the course itself. This is a no-nonsense course meant to give you a straight shot into the world of TEFL. You (like me) probably have little to no teaching experience, and this is a crash-course into almost everything you’ll encounter in a foreign classroom. Whether it’s the flow of classroom dynamics, using discipline, teaching complex grammar topics, or simply deciding on a country you want to go to and knowing what to expect within the country, all your bases are covered. This course is very good about “cutting the fat” so to speak, and gets directly into what you need to know to be an effective teacher, and interviewer for the job, which brings me to my next point.
Once you’re done with the course, you’re probably feeling pretty good and confident, so it’s time for the interview process to actually get you on board. This will probably take you out of your element a little if you’re like me, but that’s okay. The staff knows what they’re doing, and not only reach out to give you pointers on your resume and get you looking up to snuff on the professional “look”, but actively help you with the job hunt. You’re able to pick and choose from a wide variety of countries that fit your wants and needs, and they have connections with established companies that aren’t out to take advantage of misinformed expats. I ended up getting an offer I applied to outside of the company, but I directly have Tyler to thank for giving me all the tips and suggestions that helped tremendously with my professionalism and confidence throughout the process.

Next stop, Shanghai.

I’ve just completed the 120 Hour myTEFL certificate, and I couldn’t be prouder of myself or more thankful for the team at myTEFL!

I’ve wanted to earn my certificate to teach English as a foreign language for years. When I finally decided it was the right time, or that it just didn’t make sense to postpone it any longer, I looked online and found goabroad.com that lists the “best online TEFL courses.” As you may have guessed, the site listed myTEFL as their #1 choice! After having completed the course myself, I am in complete agreement!

myTEFL provides everything their website states they will provide, and how often does that happen? I was provided with a personal tutor, Leo, who responded to every one of my emails within 24 hours! I am presently working with a job placement coordinator, Luba, who is helping ensure that my cover letter and CV are ready for potential employers to view, and who doesn’t need a second pair of eyes when it comes to preparing a cover letter? I will also receive help preparing for my interview(s), with interview tips & advice, and even one-on-one practice via Skype if I feel I need it!

While all of above already puts myTEFL at the top of my list for favorite businesses in the education realm, they go above and beyond when they also make a monthly donation to several charities (Trek to Teach and Little Footprints, Big Steps), from the tuition paid for the courses they offer!

AND, if all of that isn’t enough to make earning your TEFL certificate with myTEFL the best choice possible, not only are the costs of their programs beyond reasonable, they are continuously offering promotion codes on their website to reduce the cost of your investment in your future, even further!

Mytefl exceeded my expectations in my regards – especially in the depth of information supplied and the ‘ask a tutor’ option. They have excellent content; relevant , clear, well presented & logical. The online student library has vast amounts of information & the tech support response time is second to none. I’d definitely recommend mytefl to anyone.

I’ve been meaning to get a TEFL certification for a while now but most courses I found online were too expensive. Then, I heard about myTefl and saw that the costs were more than reasonable. I heard about it from a travel blogger and she said myTEFL was one of the ways she got started with her traveling around the world. Even though I’ve taught English as a second language before, I still learned a whole lot from the course. I feel like I’ll be more effective and efficient as a teacher now that I have the basics in hand. I took the 120-hour online TEFL Training and it was easy to follow, it was comprehensive, and I was able to do it at my own pace. The tutors/online help were also helpful. I never had to wait long for a response from them.

Even though my native language is not English, I’ve always been in love with the language, and since I became fluent, it’s been a dream of mine to teach others the beauty of English. The only problem was, I had no idea how to start teaching. So, trying to improve my teaching skils, I research for a TEFL course that was affordable and had a good reputation. In my research, I found the Mytefl course, and after finishing it, I can say I do recommend this course. It is very clear, with many useful information and tips on how to be a great teacher. I truly enjoyed the course, and the only suggestion for improvement I would make is: add videos, specially of other teacher and their experiences in a classroom.

Oh, another great thing of the MyTEFL is their staff. I only had contact with Tina, but she was helpful, polite and overall, nice! Thank you Tina, I hope to use your placement services soon!

To anyone who hasn’t yet decided, I say, take this course, it’s a small investment for all it brings to you and your career.

MyTEFL is an amazing, life-changing experience and a great deal. It has attentive people like Luba and Tyler who walk you through the process of getting a CV and cover letter set up. Then they connect you with interested schools in the countries of your choosing. It’s a small investment of money and time to earn the 120-hour TEFL through myTEFL, but it pays off better than any other option out there (seriously). Skip the $2200 courses, and take MyTEFL; you will be surprisingly satisfied!

MyTEFL did a great job of preparing me for teaching experience abroad. I am currently a teacher in Vietnam and I constantly use the skills I learned from myTEFL. I recommend it for anyone new to teaching who wants to learn the necessary skills to teach English. It helped me greatly and I’m sure it will you. Thanks myTEFL!

I completed the 120-hour online course very quickly with no issues. The material is straightforward and the units progressed in a logical manner. I learned a great deal from particularly the grammar units. I liked the flexibility that allowed me to complete the modules on my own time and at my own pace. It was also nice to be able to track my progress. The website interface was user-friendly, and the staff was also quite friendly and had a fast response time. Something that sets myTEFL apart from other TEFL courses is the job placement support they offer upon completion of the course!

I’ve been searching online for online Tefl course for more than a month, reading so many reviews about different online courses. And hands down, this is the one I found with the best reviews and price. After I completed the course I truly believe MyTEFL is the most comprehensive, and easy to understand course. It helped me gain confidence and tones of new information and tips I can use with my students. I will recommend this course to everyone who wants to become an English teacher. The staff is always so helpful, they answer your questions promptly and in details.
Thank you myTEFL and team members!

I’m happy I took my 120-hour TEFL certification with MyTEFL. The course was easy to understand, relevant, and user-friendly. It’s very flexible; I was able to take the course at my own pace and during my free time. Also, the support I got from MyTEFL staff was superb! They’re always ready to help me when I needed them from day one and even after I finished the course. To top it off, it’s affordable (I got a 50% discount when I enrolled!).

One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world and explore different cultures and meet new people, alongside making an impact. MYTEFL has not only given me wings to make this happen. They have also equipped me with the knowledge and relevant resources for becoming an English teacher abroad. Taking the course made me realise how much I needed to learn and the effectiveness of been an English teacher. I am truly grateful my friend recommended this course and now we both get to travel and teach together.

When the time came to leave, the headmaster asked me if I wanted to stay. I thought of all my students, the joy that I felt teaching them my mother language through interactive games and conversations. Without hesitation, I said YES! We negotiated a contract where I would come back for one year, stay at the school rent free, eat meals with students, teach around 20 hours per week at $22/hr, and two paid vacations. What a dream!

I’ve been back for one month now, and time is flying by so fast. I love Vietnam. I never ever saw myself coming here, but I’m so glad I did. My students give me purpose to get up every day and teach them how to be more confident in speaking. They are getting so good at English that some of them use it to confide in me. I love them.

Guys, I wouldn’t have been able to do this without MyTefl. It’s affordable and accomplishable! They even sent me my original certificate because it makes the visa cheaper! I am really glad that I took this course and took a chance living in a foreign country. It has been the best decision I’ve ever made so far.

My name is Emilie and I have been teaching English for years thanks to my bilingual background. I wanted to move to Asia in order to teach English but I absolutely needed a professional qualification to get a job. After days of research I finally found MyTefl. I asked some question on the online chat and they were very responding and available.
During the examination, I could ask any questions and get a detailed response.

My experience with the online course was exhilarating; I didn’t realize how much I was missing out until I took the course! The reading was very thorough and informative with lots of quizzes. I was given ideas of how to be an effective teacher. Age groups were discussed in relation to how their learning styles affects how quickly they learn the English language which was very helpful to know. The examples offered in the course, showed me how to an effective teacher in the classroom; there were various examples, lesson plans and detailed illustrations. If anyone wants to take an online course, take it here at mytefl. You’ll leave the course with alot of knowledge you’ll implement into the real world.

I was already teaching several ESL students when I decided to take MyTEFL’s 120-hour Comprehensive Course. And oh boy, I wasn’t disappointed at all! I got the chance to understand better the techniques that were taught to me in a shorter course that I took prior to TEFL. The tests at the end of every lesson were very challenging and helped a lot in remembering the concepts that were discussed. Right after learning a new technique or idea from myTEFL, I applied them immediately in class and I saw how effective the suggestions were. I gained a lot of confidence in teaching and I appreciated my work more because of what I learned.

The company’s Customer Service was also excellent. All inquiries were addressed within 24 hours and the academic advisors were all knowledgeable and helpful. I am completely satisfied with their service.

This course was worth every penny! I am so happy I took it!
