MyTEFL Review: Make It Your TEFL Certificate?

MyTEFL Review

MyTEFL is a highly reputable and fully accredited TEFL certificate training institute.   You have two separate accredited TEFL training courses to match your lifestyle.

• Online Course – You earn an accredited certificate without commuting to a live classroom setting.
• Onsite Course – If you want a traditional classroom setting, you have options to enroll in Thailand, Spain, or Argentina.

You can also choose the level of the TEFL program for how much you want to master. While the basic plan just gives you the bare minimum for a TEFL certificate, the Master TEFL Instructor adds the option for online teaching. We recommend choosing a course with at least 120 hours, as this has become the industry standard for TEFL certification.

Coursework

The modules for MyTEFL are relevant, clear, and well-structured. Instead of focusing on theory, the curriculum is practical and classroom effective.  The main difference between the MyTEFL course is how you build your teaching skills. For example, you gain knowledge in classroom management, grammar, and teaching English online. It covers everything from:

But the only complaint is that it does not provide any teaching practice or classroom observation. Even the Master Course doesn’t have a teacher practicum with real students and interactive feedback.

MyTEFL Internships

One of the great ways to start teaching and traveling is through the MyTEFL internship. They give teachers a unique opportunity to jump right into teaching. Besides that, you get a bit of guidance from professionals before you start as a TEFL teacher. No prior teaching experience is required, but you need to be willing to learn with a positive attitude.

As part of the MyTEFL internship, you get immersed quickly into a foreign country and help shake off some of the culture shock. Once you arrive, you get an orientation within the country of choice. You get a lot of support throughout the internship so it’s good for absolute beginners. Although MyTEFL internships are limited to just 3 countries (Argentina, Spain, and Thailand), you can still build up your CV/resume and kick start your teaching career.

MyTEFL Review

MyTEFL certification is one of the more affordable TEFL certification options available today. They provide a modern TEFL course that you can choose either as a virtual learning program or an interactive live classroom experience. Even though we recommend the industry standard 120-hour TEFL Professional course, you pick how many hours you for certification with a more basic style.

MyTEFL is also good for job placement in countries like China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Upon completion, participants have generally positive feedback in obtaining teaching job placements.  Also, MyTEFL is devoted to providing lifetime assistance to help you with job placement. Not only do they help with pre-departure (CV/resume, interviews, etc.), but they also help you with your post-departure (housing, bank accounts, and more)
