Taking this TEFL course was one of the best things I’ve done in my 27 years of living. I read many reviews about this particular course and they all were positive for a reason.

In my opinion, the most important thing was the staff. They were exceptional! While I came prepared for an intense and heavy workload, Kenny (aka Kveto), Adrian, Zach, Petra, and Gywneth exceeded my expectations in regards to their knowledge, willingness to help, and their ability to break all of the concepts down to a very understandable level.

While challenging, the course can go smoothly if you manage your free time wisely. Myself and many of my classmates with four year degrees were humbled by the new concepts, but they tell you exactly everything you need to know so pay attention and don’t be a know it all. The office staff also were friendly, engaging, and willing to give advice about Prague, jobs and housing after the course, and any other random questions I had (like where I could get a hole in my favorite jeans sewn).

The facility (which you will spend a lot of time in) was up to par, and provided everything we needed to comfortably and effectively learn and teach. I would suggest staying in the Hotel Pivovar if you want to be close to the school. You can go to your room on your lunch break, and sleep in later. The villa is a 10 ish minute walk up a hill, but also has a nice view and more open rooms.

The course prepared us for interviews after the course as well, and helped us design a CV that would be appealing to future employers. Since graduating, I have had no trouble whatsoever finding a job. I feel confident during interviews with all the knowledge I gained from the course. I still use all the notes I took, lesson plan templates, and teaching practices.

The second most important thing for me was the job guidance they give you. Once you decide to take the course (and you will after reading this) you will have access to a Google drive folder that is regularly updated with job offers from all around the globe. Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Russia. You name it, they have it.

Can’t forget the students you get to practice with. Most of them are local Czech natives, and they really appreciate having the chance to speak and learn English. They also added another worthwhile component to my TEFL experience.

Taking this course has helped me expand my horizons, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunities it has given me! Well worth the money! Preesh TEFL team.

My initial decision to come to Prague for the TEFL was based primarily on the fact that founder and director Cheryl graduated from the same great university as me: Loyola in Chicago. What I subsequently discovered was an excellent combination of theory (in the morning) and practice (in the afternoon) not only for beginning teachers of ALL AGES with no previous experience, but a good way to update and assimilate current best practices for a seasoned veteran (35 years and counting!) like me.

Kenny and Adrienne complemented each other’s teaching and modeling styles eminently and provided thought-provoking and challenging strategies designed to reach multiple learning styles and age groups.

Their understanding and past experiences in “the market” grounded the program in reality and prepared us for what to expect upon graduation.

Needless to say, the location in Prague also provided a wonderful classroom experience, as well as contact with the lovely and diverse students enrolled in the English classes we taught.

The support staff was there to respond to the simplest of needs and requests on a moment’s notice. The lodging at the Hotel Pivovar was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet is not to be missed as a great way to prepare for the demands of a rigorous and thoroughly stimulating four weeks. Having worked in public education in the USA as well as ESL in Asia, I only wish some of the training sessions I have had to endure in the past were only half as good as what I was fortunate enough to discover with TEFL Worldwide Prague.

Gratefully,

Craig B. McKee, B.A., M.A., D.E.A.

I took the TEFL course on July 3rd and graduated on July 28th-

Those were VERY intense four weeks, with multiple tasks varying in difficulty and always engaging. We learned by observing our teacher colleagues, giving feedback, reviewing demo lessons given by our trainers and always taking notes, working together with our partners or in groups.

Even though the course was very challenging at times, and I had virtually no free time to do anything else, I felt it made grow as a teacher; I came to course with a teaching background, so I felt a little bit prepared. However, by teaching and obtaining different teaching methods I’ve come to realize just how many tools the TEFL Worldwide Prague gave me.

The atmosphere at the course was super friendly, everyone was open for questions and willing to help when needed, I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive environment. We, as future teachers, grew and got better; I feel that the level of difficulty in the course made us bond together. I will never forget the great time I had at TEFL Worldwide Prague and would definitely recommend every new teacher to take this course if he plans to teach English for ESL learners!

This experience is quite difficult to put into words. It was an incredible course with the most amazing instructors and staff members. I will admit that I did not think it was going to be as difficult as it was, but the hard work made it that much more rewarding on graduation day. The course absolutely prepared me for the world of teaching abroad and adjusting to the different mindset that foreign language teachers need in order to be successful. I cannot thank the staff enough for their support throughout the entirety of the course (and after).

I took this course back in May 2016 and it was the life defining choice that set me on my current path to success. It is definitely challenging and was a humbling experience that taught me how much I did not know about the complexities and rules of the language that I have been speaking my whole life! However, thanks to the professional, intelligent and extremely patient instructors there at TEFL Worldwide Prague, I was able to become a competent and fully functional TEFL teacher with job prospects in some of the most desirable locations in the known world. I would encourage anyone with an interest in this growing field to seriously consider this school as the clear choice for TEFL instruction.

I completed my TEFL Worldwide Course in March of 2017.

Going into the course, I had a multitude of expectations and was particularly apprehensive of my decision to venture to a different country half way across the world in pursuit of experiencing something completely different to anything I had done before.

Well, I have to say; my experience with the TEFL Worldwide Prague Program surpassed any of my expectations AND has helped me on my path to fulfilling these ambitions. The course itself was encapsulating and provided a fantastic foundation for engaging and enhancing your knowledge of the English language as well as granting the certification of being a TEFL qualified teacher. Having had no teaching experience myself, it was a little daunting knowing that I would soon be teaching in front of classes… and sure enough, on the second day you get thrown right in the deep end.

Honestly, it’s a bit frightening – but much like the entire course, you have an unbelievable amount of support and assistance along the way. The staff are OUTSTANDING. From our amazing teachers in Kenny and Adrienne, to our other insightful observers, and the Administrative and Managerial staff… you really couldn’t ask for a more welcoming and helpful group. If you had a question, they were more than happy to answer it. They are very approachable and all round fantastic people.

The course itself can be tough, and if you’re anything like the student I am who loves to procrastinate, it can certainly be long nights of lesson planning and preparation. But it’s all worth it. You get better and better with lesson planning and teaching to a class environment, and as such you build confidence and everything comes together nicely. It’s certainly not a walk in the park, and requires plenty of focus and drive to succeed – but the feeling of doing so is truly rewarding and it is certainly an experience that I will never forget. It was honestly one of the best things that I’ve done in my life.

So if you aren’t sure about whether or not TEFL is right for you… well, I was also one of those people. And I can say, the people you meet will become friends for life. The connections you make with teachers and students alike is remarkable, the course itself is rich in content and can provide so many avenues, particularly for people interested in Teaching English abroad. I will never forget the people I have met through the TEFL program, nor the experience in general.

Thank you TEFL family for making it such an enriching and valuable experience that I shall cherish for the rest of my life. It has been real.

TEFL worldwide Prague definitely prepared me for the world of teaching English as a foreign language. They put emphasis on a wealth of areas in teaching, and the training is obviously and immediately useful. I’d definitely call this a crash course because it is very intense, but it’s amazing how much I and everyone in my class were able to learn in just one month (made some great friends along the way, too!) The instructors and observers really want you to get better and the feedback they provide is so valuable. They also provided great advice for getting jobs, even direct references. I’m really glad I went with this program.

I took this course in March of 2017. I found it while searching for places in Europe where I could get TEFL certified and chose it because it had the best reviews of any I found.

After completing the course 4 weeks later, all I can say is that this program deserves all the praise it gets.

The instructors are awesome in every way. They provide plenty of praise and encouragement, which was important to me because I had never taught before and was a little nervous about it. But they also provided a lot constructive criticism, which helped me improve after every lesson. By the end of the course, I felt so much more comfortable and confident in my teaching than I did during my first lesson on the 2nd day of the course.

They have also been extremely helpful after the course, with writing references and providing advice about teaching positions both in Prague and around the world.

The Admin staff are great too at helping with housing, visa stuff, jobs etc…

The course is intensive as most others have noted. But it’s totally worth it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a TEFL certification.

TEFLWorldWide Prague is no joke. I took their month long course in August 2016 and have absolutely no regrets. I enrolled thinking that teacher certification would be a breeze. Boy was I wrong! It was undoubtedly one of the most challenging months of my life. But! The training I received there has been invaluable. I have been teaching in South Korea since then and having earned a TEFL certificate at this academy has made me a much more competitive job candidate here. The two main instructors have years of experience and know how to mold people into effective TEFL teachers. They were extremely supportive every step of the way. If you mess up badly, they will set you back on course and give you a second chance to redeem yourself. You will come to Prague as a little baby bird but you will leave as a glorious, English teaching falcon.

If you are serious about teaching TEFL…..take this course. There are many online courses you can do, and it may even save you money, but what do you actually learn?

This course is 4 weeks in a classroom where you have face to face time with expert instructors who will do everything they can to get you through the course.

Yes….it is intense, it is not easy, but if you really want it, and with the help of the course instructors it is very doable. Be prepared for hard work, but also be ready to be rewarded because your knowledge will increase exponentially and arm you for the world of TEFL. For me, I feel ready to take on the TEFL classroom, and offer my students the proper instruction they need to increase their knowledge of English.

You will learn so much in what really is a very short time. The instructors are great, the Admin staff very helpful, and of course you will actually have some real teaching experience under your belt when you finish the course. Plus…..you’re doing it in Prague man!!

Do yourself a favour………take this course.
