What our students say
We’ve helped thousands of teachers get certified and find jobs. Here’s what some of them had to say.
I am teaching in Colombia and online. I have now taught over 100 lessons online and I’m sure the TEFL Hero credential has helped my teaching career immensely. I feel that the certificate carries a lot of weight on my resume and with my academic profiles.
Ricardo
TEFL Hero provides all that is necessary for anyone serious about teaching to get started and get hired. Already in the field and my first pay covered the initial fees of the course. Couldn’t ask for a better investment for a field that is currently in demand.
Mary
The program is incredibly well structured with engaging and comprehensive materials covering everything from
lesson planning to classroom management. I appreciated the flexibility of the program allowing me to learn at my own pace. Completing this course has given me the confidence and skills necessary to succeed as an English teacher.
Michael
Great value, in-depth knowledge, using the Communicative Language Teaching approach. You can retake quizzes until you pass, keep lifetime access after completing, and receive helpful emails on how and where to apply for jobs — including country-by-country criteria. I highly recommend it.
John
TEFL Hero was the ideal course for me. I could work on the lessons at my own speed and take my time to learn the
material. Since I received my ESL certification I have been teaching ESL for a French company. It is worth taking
the course.
Janet
I really enjoyed my TEFL Hero course! The lessons were clear, practical, and easy to follow. I gained a lot of
confidence in lesson planning and classroom management. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to start teaching English professionally — it’s flexible, affordable, and very informative.
