Saw this pop up as I’m about to release a similar video on my channel. Glad to see a nice honest video that doesn’t try convince people a $20 course is good. :)
Looking forward to checking your video out!
Jamie thanks for your videos. I really appreciate it and it'll help me encourage my self to teach abroad. I hope someday I can teach abroad. God bless you always and stay safe always. Thanks again.🥰
SUPERB from an absolute NUMPTY in this field. So enlightening and hope to hear from you through email. Thanks a million. Patrick.
Great video with a lot of useful information. Thank you!
TEFL certificate is important certificate to have , when you want to teach abroad or online. I think this is a key
Is TEFL certificate by Teacher Record acceptable internationally? How can we know is it acceptable or not?
The Teacher Record certificate is not accredited for teaching abroad.@@syedimranhaider4105
Thank you
CELTA suitable for gulf country
This is accredited for teaching abroad?
Hello professor
Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance
Great video, thank you.
Thank you this was super helpful in finding out which of the many courses to choose~ Thank you Jaimie!!
Which course are you planning on taking?
Jamie, God bless you! You have helped me make up my mind about which certificate I should pursue. ❤
That’s great! I hope your course goes well 🙂
Cheers for this video. Over the past year or two, the conversation seems to have changed from whether one SHOULD have a TESL / TESOL / TEFL, to WHICH institution / certificate one should choose. I get it, so many programs popping up. These videos are necessary. That's for informing new and developing teachers!
Which course did you do?
Hello! I did my own research on tefl courses. I wanted to do the tefl academy course that you said to do, and it showed up to be not fully accredited. It means that it is not globally recognized? Can you please help? You understand better than I do.
Another fantastic video, Jamie!!!
Thanks Corey 🥰
Thank for sharing these very useful tips on this video, Jaimie. I love the content. I was a former ESL teacher as well in the Philippines and abroad before.
I"m thinking of moving to the PHilippines and looking into teaching as a job possibility. How hard was it for you to get a job there? What program did you get your TEFL from?
I was literally searching the internet a minute ago about tefl because it's new to me (I do know about celta though), your vid is very helpful. Thank you :)
I’m glad you found it helpful! Where would you like to teach?
At Vietnam i would like to teach
@@ESLTeacher365at Vietnam i would like to teach
Peace Jamie, thanks for your informative videos. I'm glad you mentioned you have an MA and clearly lots of international teaching experience. I am an ESL teacher in NYC with an MA and TESOL certificate. I want to transition into teaching ESL abroad. I have about 2 yrs of teaching experience in ESL, but I have not taught internationally yet. Which level of TEFL would you recommend??
If you already have a TESOL, you don't need a TEFL. It's the same :)
Jamie I am very happy that I got your channel because I am planning to be an English teacher and I found every thing which I need to know
Thank you! I hope I can help you on your journey 🙂
@@ESLTeacher365 yeah I m going to follow your all videos
I have done masters in English literature from Pakistan and have 1 year teaching experience which TEFL course suits me kindly guide me.
@@nousheenyasir2768 It depends if you want to teach kids, adults or both! CELTA is fantastic for teaching adults, but if you want to teach kids, International TEFL Academy is a fantastic course.
Great video....thanks for the info))
This is so helpful
Thanks for this ❤
Okay thanks for this video its a big help for me ... 😊
Thank you for this video! I am an American and thinking about the Maximo Nivel school in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. I am a native English speaker with a BA and no teaching experience. it is about $1600 at this point, not including airfare and apartment rental for a 4-week course. If I round up to about $5000, just to have a buffer, it seems like a good deal for the whole experience. Living somewhere different, meeting some new people and experiencing something different, after the last couple years, may be nice.
Manuel Antonio is a super beautiful part of Costa Rica!
Great video!!!
So much quality information!
What about the TKT Cambridge certificate? Is it worth?
TKT is not a course - it’s an exam. It would be most comparable to a 120 hour TEFL. So if you are looking for a high quality qualification from Cambridge you are better off doing a CELTA.
LOVE this video. I'm majoring in World Language Education and I'm not sure if getting a TEFL certificate before graduating would be enough to teach now since I haven't graduated yet. Would you recommend the level 5 course for me?
I highly recommend finishing your degree before teaching abroad. It will open more countries in the world where you can teach. 🌍
Thank you Jamie for this inspiring video .. Now that I watched this insightful comparison, I finally had a soild backgroud to make up my mind and choose CELTA regardless of the hefty price tag
Will you do the course in-person or online?
In- Person in Cairo .. BTW, where did you work in Cairo? @@ESLTeacher365 😅
Yes, and it sounds logical.
Thank you so much.
You are very welcome 😊
Jamie ji...its very helpful information.👏🙌🤝💐❤😊

What is the best TEFL online company to work for?
Which is the best CELTA online company to work for?
I did a CELTA course in Brisbane, Australia and have done several online TEFL courses to test them for my audience. I’m not sure what you mean by TEFL/CELTA online company.
Nice video. I need a career change and I love languages!
Let me know if you need any help! I’m also a language lover (Spanish, French, Italian and Egyptian Arabic). What languages do you speak?
@@ESLTeacher365 Italian (my channel is Learn Italian con l'americano), Portuguese (wife is Brazilian), and some Spanish. I live in NJ .
Hello! Thanks for the video! Would you still recommend the mid level TEFL courses if both my degree and teaching experiences are science based?
It depends on where you want to teach and if you are a native speaker or not. I recommend filling out my survey so I can get more info and email you back!
❤Greetings from Egypt❤
Ahlan!
I'm considering getting my TEFL certification from the International Tefl Academy (ITA). It's an 11 week online course plus 20 hours of practical.
ITA is a great course! I hope you enjoy it.
Price please?
How much does it cost?
What is the price of TEFL at ITA

Hi Jaimie . I have completed my Mba and passed IELTS test with the hope of doing a course abroad.But unfortunately it did not work out. So I have been training students for IELTS for the past 4 years. As a change of mind, I’m looking for a english course and ended up watching your vedio and it was worthy. Can you suggest whther TESOL OR TESL is best for teaching in English speaking countries??
Hi! TEFL/TESOL/TESL are all the same thing. Different countries use different acronyms. I am currently teaching in Australia using my CELTA certificate. This is the Cambridge brand TEFL certificate. Each country has different regulations to get a visa to teach there so I recommend choosing your top 5 countries and researching the requirements. Jobs can be competitive in English speaking countries so it’s helpful to have an actual teaching certificate as well as a TEFL. I hope this helps!
Thank you so much for all the details you always provide. I have one question if u don’t mind. I am wondering whether Master TEFL 220 hours has level 5 or not. And if it’s internationally accredited or not. Thank you ❤
It looks like that course is a different course than Premier TEFL. I am not familiar with it and only recommend courses where I have personally spoken to the brand to verify them 🙂
Jaimie would love for your advice, I just subscribed to your channel. My sister is changing her career and she wants to be able to teach remotely anywhere in the world. She is considering an academy but I don't think really is worth it. Would you be able to provide a consultation with me on how can she start. My sister only has High School Degree.
Hi! I offer teach abroad coaching. You can email me at the address in the description to book a session.
Hi Jamie,
Thank you for this video!! Can you please help me? I have master's level education in the sciences and have some teaching experience with children and university students. I've debated going with ITA, but after seeing your video maybe I dont need something so exhaustive. What I'd really prefer is a program that offers other bonuses like visa and in country support (this would be my first time out of the country!). I would deeply appreciate your thoughts on this.
Please fill out my survey in the description so I can better guide you 🙂
You come across so authentic ! I have a BA degree and I'm currently teaching on cambly (only about a month!). I'm interested in completing a TEFL course but without a practicum ! I'm only planning to teach online. What do you think of TEFL Professional Development Institute (120 hr)... I saw a link for a FREE 120 hr course with them but you have to pay to receive the actual paper Certificate !! This whole area is a bit of a maze 😳
If you are only teaching online, then you don’t typically need to invest in an expensive course. However, a quality course will give you strategies and resources to improve your teaching. I recommend The TEFL Academy Level 3 course if you want to teach online. They have an entire module on online teaching and the course is worth it in my opinion. Free courses are usually just articles you read and quizzes.
Thanks for taking the time to respond :)@@ESLTeacher365
Thanks for the info, could u help to recommend several middle level TESOL institutions？
I have listed ones I recommend in the video description.
Hi Jamie, First of all, thank you so much for this useful video! I am from the Netherlands, and have obtained a Bachelor and Master's degree in Translation (English, French & Dutch). I have traveled around the US, NZ, and AUS after that so proving my C1 level of English wouldn't be a problem. But since English remains my second language and since I don't have any teaching experience whatsoever, I am definitely willing to pass/in need of passing one of these 'expensive' TEFL courses. I still haven't decided yet whether I want to teacher EFL in Australia, Canada or the UK, so I want my TEFL degree as international as possible. I'm just wondering, with my background, should I go for the CELTA course or choose for another TEFL course? Thank you so much in advance for your time!
Daisy
Hi Daisy. To teach in English speaking countries you typically need to be an actual certified teacher because these countries don’t sponsor visas for TEFL teachers. I recommend looking into available visas for these countries and looking at the requirements.
Hi I enrolled in the level 3, 120 hours at the TheTeflacademy on March 19, 2023. I have not heard from them. Confident however with my choice.
Have you reached out to them via email?
Hi there! I have a Bachelors Degree but in something completely unrelated to education or English. No teaching experience. I am, however, a native speaker. Would you recommend a 120 hour tefl course or a celta? I was really leaning towards the celta, but the price point is what has me hesitant. I'm thinking of teaching online but would like to have the option of teaching abroad as well. Thank you
If you don’t have teaching experience I recommend CELTA or International TEFL Academy (link is in the description). The difference is that CELTA is more for teaching adults and ITA offers lifetime job search assistance but CELTA does not. I recommend starting with ITA and if you feel like you want more later on, you can always do a CELTA.
Hi. I'm a non native speaker from Brazil. I have some teaching experience and I'm looking for a certificate to make it easier for me to get an online job either in Brazil or in another country. Do you think I need other certifications such as TOEIC or TOEFL? Is a cheap TEFL certification enough in this case?
TOEIC and TOEFL will prove your English level. You’ll also need at least a 120 hour TEFL certificate to teach online. If you wonky want to work online then the cheaper TEFL should be enough. I have a video coming out soon on teaching online for non-native speakers which will have some extra tips!
Me too. I am brazilian living in USA for 12 years and moving to Portugal. Taught portuguese and English in school for 15 years but I would like to take Tefl course, I just don't know which one
Hi

Cheap Tefl certificate
10 years Experience in ESL teaching n Syria .
I am in Turkey now and I would like to start with online Teaching ..
Your advises plz ..
Thanks alot my Teacher 😎😎
For non-native speakers the best route for teaching online is starting as a freelancer and finding clients in a specific niche. I’ll have a video coming out soon on a platform you can use to do this!
Hi, USA native here with a B.A.! I’ve earned a TESOL through VIPKid and worked as an online English Teacher with them for about 3 years. Is there anything else I need to continue working in this field of online teaching?
You can always get a level 5 TEFL course or do add-on courses like Business English. You can check out the description box for courses I recommend. Are you considering working for Outschool or freelancing?
Got it now.
Can you recommend any recruiting organizations that help with job placement? I'm a 25 year old male looking for my first TESOL job
It depends on where you want to teach and your qualifications. Fill out my survey and I’ll see if I can help.
Hello Jamie, what do you think of the Arizona State TESOL Coursera course? in which tier would you put it?
It’s an interesting concept because you pay until you complete it. The faster you complete it, the cheaper it is. I haven’t personally done it yet, but may review it for a future video 🙂
@@ESLTeacher365 yeah, and there's financial aid available as well, you'd still need to pay 50 dollars to get the certificate mailed to u, but it's cool, peer reviewed assignments and micro lessons where u have to submit recorded vids of u teaching... pretty cool
Hello! I have a teaching license with a clde endorsement (cultural/linguistic diverse education) does this have any standing for teaching english abroad or would you recommend getting certified in one of the options you mentioned?
I still recommend getting a TEFL if you want to teach ESL because you’ll want to learn the methods to teaching English as a Foreign Language. For interviews you may be asked to teach a demo lesson, so it’s best to be well prepared.
I love that
Hey, thanks for the video. I'm doing a TEFL from International Open Academy right now. It's 120 hours, all online and accredited. I have a Bachelor's degree. My main goal is to teach English online for 6 months to a year. A job like VIPKID would have been great but oh well. I want something like that. Do you think this certificate is good enough to land a job like that ?
Yes, most online companies accept the TESOL/TEFL from IOA for teaching online.
@@ESLTeacher365 kool thanks !!
That sounds Interesting. I'm looking for a career change, and I'm a language buff. I would of course need to study English grammar on a deeper level.
@@ESLTeacher365 is it still okay if I decided to teach abroad and not online? I have bachelor's degree too.
@@anneacob1384 I do not recommend IOA for teaching abroad.
Hi Jamie! My name is Lucia. I sent an email but I would like to say that I loved your channel, it's very helpful. I'm searching about a not too expensive and trustworthy course. I woul love a feed back from you
Thank you. I will respond to your email soon. 🙂
Hello, this video is very informative and I really appreciate it. I personally will be graduating in 2025 with a degree in modern languages (Japanese) and I want to apply for the jet program to be an assistant teacher in Japan. I know jet does not require a certificate or experience in teaching but it is recommended. I have no prior experience teaching at all but I’ll have a bachelors soon so I’m not sure weather or not If I should go for the middle cost of certification or the more expensive one based on my situation. I would be so grateful if you could give me some insight, I am hoping to get a certification before I apply for jet in fall 2025 while also going to full time university (so I need a more flexible certification process if possible if you know of one).
I recommend filling out my survey or sending me an email (linked in the video description) so I can personally guide you 🙂
Hi, thank you. This video has been very informative.
wanted to ask your recommendation on the TEFL which is accepted by the Government of Canada.
I am actually planning to move to Canada for work. I have a 10 years of teaching experience, so I think the MID-LEVEL TEFL would do. I am looking to do mostly online teaching. What would be your recommendation specially on the one the Canadian employer would accept. Thank you.
Do you already have a visa to work there? It will depend where you are teaching - private academies, universities, etc. In general, you’ll want a quality TEFL with teaching practice like CELTA or CertTESOL.
@@ESLTeacher365 The visa is in the process, we have applied for the Canadian PR. I was thinking to apply for online teaching. I am ready to work both in private academies, universities, and online as long as the TEFL certification allows.
Can you suggest any online site to acquire the appropriate certification please?
@@joshADV That's great that you have a visa! I have some online TEFLs linked in the description box that you can check out.
So level 5 courses for those with zero teaching experience and a bachelors degree, correct? I have 2 under grad degrees and I’ve been researching changing careers and giving back to others such a teaching English. I’ve been eyeing a level 5 course for quite sometime
Yes I recommend level 5 courses if you don’t have previous teaching experience because they go more in-depth than the basic 120-hour courses. It’s best to do a course that has a teaching practicum so you can get feedback on your teaching.
I'm so glad I came across your video! I hope it's okay if I send you an email regarding my inquiries. Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you
Yes! I will write back soon ☺️
Can i teach english as a non-native speaker if i know almost no grammar? I'm pretty fluent in speech and writing, but it's all instinctual and subconscious. When someone asks me why is something the way it is in english all i can say is "it's just is". Would these courses help me bridge that gap or are they more for people who just need to brush up on their already existing understanding of the language?
You absolutely need to know grammar to teach English. If you do a TEFL course it won’t teach you the grammar, it will teach you how to teach grammar. I recommend brushing up on English grammar first. There are lots of helpful books!
Hi, how are you? My question is what tefl course have you taken? I mean the prices you've been explaining the whole video in order to get the certificate.
I personally did a CELTA.
Hi dear, thanks for the video. I need to know if you have taught in the UAE...thanks
Not yet 😊
Hello! Thank you for this informative video. Can I ask which of these 2 organisation's degree holds more value for online teaching? 1) World Tesol Academy or 2) Internation Open Academy
For online teaching usually any 120 hour cert is fine.
@@ESLTeacher365 thank you 😊
Hi Jamie kindly would like to ask you that would you recommend an I to I TEFL Level 5 programme
I haven’t heard very good things about i to i. Some people report having to redo assignments over and over again. The certs I recommend are listed in this video description.
I'm a non-native speaker and I'm Asian(30 years old )with no teaching experience. I've got a BA degree in geography.i would like to teach english abroad which one do you recommend?
A level 5 TEFL certificate like the ones linked in the description.
Hello there !
What would you recommend for someone who has teaching experience and only has a TKT and no college degree, to take as a course ?
The reason is just to be able to apply for jobs in Europe, as right now located in France and the goal is to teach kids and teenages but has experience in teaching adults aswell
Thank you 🎉
Most jobs in France will require a bachelor’s degree. CELTA is preferred in Western Europe.
Which one should I take? I am still unsure. I have never worked as a teacher before, and this going to be my first experience.
International TEFL Academy or CELTA 🙂
How would you suggest to check the accreditation of particular TEFL course provider? For instance, I would like to teach English in Austria or another European country, how can I be sure that particular certificate will be recognized in this country?
I recommend reaching out to schools there and asking them what qualifications they are looking for.
I need the mid level. My goal is the Peace Corps. Need an accredited mid level course, what do you suggest?
Check the description box for my recommendations 🙂
Hi Jamie. Your videos are wonderful and quite helpful. Could you please suggest me too as to which course should I go for? Academically, I have done my 'O' and 'A' levels, followed by a bachelor's in arts, B. Ed and a Masters in humanities and social sciences. I want to secure a good job abroad as well as earn online. So, which course do you suggest me as well as the institute?
Please fill out my survey in the description so I can give you a detailed answer!
Hi . Your videos are very useful. I have completed survey by the link you have mentioned ,still no response. Currently I’m doing my TEFL/TESOL course with specialisation in business english. But I’m not a native English speaker (INDIAN), so could you please help me out knowing where a non native English speaker can easily find a job as TEFL teacher. Basically I prefer to work in a European country.
Thank you😊 keep going❤️
Sorry, forget to mention . I am post graduate in English language and literature and currently I’m working as OET trainer.
Hi! I don’t have anyone with your name on my list from the surveys, so maybe it didn’t get sent correctly. Please try again or send me an email 🙂
Can yu suggest me a best institute to do TEFL/TESOL course in India
I am still a little confused
Do you like CELTA or TESOL better?
Which one would you suggest I get (No Bachelor Degree) but with teaching experience.
CELTA is the Cambridge brand of TESOL. I recommend this if you would like to teach adults or in specific countries which prefer CELTA. I have a video just on my CELTA experience that you can check out.
@@ESLTeacher365
Thank you so much...
How do I find your video?
You can check my Teach Abroad Playlist or uploads playlist to find the CELTA video

Thank you for all your help.
God Bless
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
I did not realize that people get both a TEFL and CELTA. I'm being told that having the money and time that I should get the CELTA. I'm 51, have 3 degrees and have done some teaching and substitute teaching.
CELTA is great for teaching adults, but not kids, so just keep that in mind. It also depends on where you want to teach. If you fill out my survey in the description I can better guide you.
I’m currently teaching in my country. I have a degree bt I can’t decide whether to get a Celta or a Tesol
It depends on your nationality, if you have a degree, where you want to teach and if you want to each adults or not. CELTA is great for the EU and Middle East for teaching adults. However, no job support is given. If you want a comparable course with job search assistance, I recommend ITA: bit.ly/ITATEFL
Hello I'm a woman who has a bachelor degree in English language and literature and I worked as an English teacher for 3 years I quit my job for more than 10 years I live in Saudi Arabia what certificate do you recommend me to take. ..
It depends on where you want to teach and which ages. Please fill out my survey and I will email you back!
what are the minimun requirements to get TEFL? are b1 or b2 good enought to get the certification? thks from Italy :)
It depends on the certification, but I would say B2 as a minimum.
Thank you for sharing this informative vid Ihave bachelor degree in English and iam non native Iwant to teach a broad what certificate is best for me also do ineed ilets? plz ineed your help
You’ll want a level 5 certificate and you need to take an English exam based on where you want to teach (IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge). I have a video on how to teach abroad as a non-native speaker. Just search for it on my Teach Abroad Step by Step playlist.
Hi, I live in France and am 22 years old. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Design, which doesn't have anything to do with English. However, I am currently searching to obtain a certificate to teach English online or abroad. Do you think the 120-hour option on the Premier TEFL website would be a good choice for me, or should I consider a higher level ?
For non-native speakers I recommend CELTA or CertTESOL, especially if you don’t have previous English teaching experience.
Is Level 5 required when teaching online? Or is it the same as Level 3 or advanced?
Most companies will only require a level 3 (120 hour) certificate.
Hello! Could you please tell me which tefl course you did ?
I did CELTA but have since taken many others to test them for my channel.
Thank you so much for the video 💙I'm an Indian.. and I've completed my bachelor's degree in English literature.But now I don't know what to do 😢I'm really worried about my future. Please help me...can I get job at abroad if I do a celta course??
Yes, there are Indians teaching abroad :)
@@ESLTeacher365 Thank you ma'am for replying 💙may I ask you one more doubt that, because I'm an Indian(non-native speaker), can I do celta for teaching directly after my bachelor's degree? Or should I take masters or IELTS or any other additional courses like that..?? Can you please share these details. Anything you can share would be great😊thank you
@@sjelf6605 You'll want to make sure that you have a high level of English before doing a CELTA course or it will be quite challenging. The recommend an IELTS 7.5 or higher (C1 level) in order to do the course.
Hello thanks for the video. Do you need to have a university degree to find a job?
It depends on the country. I have a video about teaching abroad without a degree. Each country has different visa restrictions and even some visas or requirements of specific schools will be more demanding than others.
I'm from India and I am a graduate with a major in English and not so long ago, I completed my Education degree (B.ed). Moreover, I'm planning to teach abroad and thus, I'm searching to do TEFL either online from other countries or from Delhi, India itself. Unfortunately, I'm not able to find a good institute for the TEFL certificate course and it is quite exhausting.
Hopefully, you might suggest a prominent and trustable institute for the TEFL course online outside India.
Hi! Please send me an email or fill out my survey so I can make a recommendation.
Dear.. where are you planing to teach?
World TESOL ACADEMY IS OFFERING TESOL IN 34 DOLLARS.NEED SUGGESTIONS...Should I opt for it?
If you want to teach online ONLY, it's ok. If you want to teach abroad, absolutely not.
I am Spanish. I hace a BA in English philology and Master's in Teaching but to teach abroad are not válido I need Tefl or Celta, I was suggested to do celta since I have already experiencia ,but is like having two master's in Teaching
CELTA is more equivalent to a bachelor’s than a master’s. DELTA is the master’s equivalent. It really depends on where you want to teach. Which countries are you interested in? For non-native speakers it’s always best to be as qualified as you can since some countries, schools and employers prefer native speakers (which is unfortunate and discrimination 😔)
@@ESLTeacher365 I was Teaching in malta with My master's degree but My boss recommended me celta,but is too expensive
Hi, Jamie!
I have 8 years of experience teaching or training adults in English Language Training; I have also worked as a Curriculum Developer (ELT) and Content Writer.
In your knowledge or understanding, how is Trinity CertTESOL? I don't want to teach young learners at all. Is TEFL mostly about teaching young learners?
Will it be worth every penny if I go for Trinity CertTESOL?
Please guide if you can!
CertTESOL is the Trinity brand TEFL. I haven’t taken it but I did take CELTA and they are similar. They are very good courses for teaching adults. It depends on how you want to use it. It’s usually for new teachers or a top up for experienced teachers. There’s also more advanced courses like DELTA.
Many thanks for answering! Yes, I am aware of DELTA and DipTESOL as well.
I have only one hour to get registered.
Hi what do you think about TELF International? Are there any other schools that are better?
I only recommend certificates where I have personally spoken with the company about their certificate. I haven’t spoken with TEFL International. You can find my recommendations in the description box.
Hi, i dont have a teaching degree but other major master from aus uni😅 n i have no teaching experience before. I wanna be a english teacher in asia country in future, eg. China. Which course is recommended for me?
Please fill out my survey in the description so I can email you specific resources to help 🙂
@@ESLTeacher365 hi, i done the survey yesterday. Looking forward of your feedback. Thx
In USA I did some research and I found that you have to attend a course accredited by the ACCET or CEA?? I can't find any information of this on UA-cam. I'm serious about teaching and want to get the right accredited course in my country. I really need help, can you recommend any courses in America that are accredited? Thank you for reading.
You can go to this site to see who is accredited by ACCET. Bridge TEFL is an example. accet.org/member-institution-directory
Hi Jamie, do you know about the International Diploma provided by BRIDGE?
I haven’t personally tested it out yet but I have some clients who have taken it and liked it.
@@ESLTeacher365 thank you. Sorry to ask, if I want to teach in Europe to adults having no experience, do you recommend the Celta anyway? (I am not a native speaker!)
@@rossellaleonardi2908 Yes, I recommend CELTA because it is preferred in many European countries.
@@ESLTeacher365 thank you 🙏
Hi ,i am from india ,i have my bachelor in education in two core subjects political and english and also have teaching experience ,which tefl level would you recommend and from from which site should i do it?
It depends on where you want to teach! Please fill out my survey linked in the descriptions I will email you with more info.
I have a 120-hour TESOL certificate from Teach International, provided by 51Talk to their newly hired teachers. Is this a legitinate test?
I’m not sure what test you are referring to. A TEFL is a teaching certification. If you want to teach abroad, you’ll need an accredited TEFL and I recommend getting one with teaching practice (typically a level 5).
no teaching degree, no certficate but has a teaching experience through seminars inside our church and outreach. and want to learn and teach abroad. what's good tesol/tefl level for me? thank you for answering this message. God bless
It depends on if you have a bachelor’s degree, your budget for the course, your nationality and where you want to teach. Please fill out my survey and I will email you back with some recommendations!
Hey i want to do premium 120 hour tefl course . Can you please let ke know that either they will provide tefl certification necessary at the end of the course?or either i have to do any test or pay more to get this certificate?
Once you complete the Premier TEFL course you get the certificate.
CELTA would be considered an expensive course? I'm from Argentina, Thanks!
Yes, CELTA is one of the most expensive courses. However, they don't offer job search assistance. So I personally recommend ITA over CELTA if you are looking for job search help.
Did I miss something? I thought there were going to be links for some courses?
There are links in the description box 🙂
Madam , i have 10 years teaching experience in my country Srilanka. I dont have a degree. I have done TKT. If im planing to go abroad for teaching which couse you would recommend me? CELTA or TOFEl. Thank you madam
CELTA is a certificate for teaching English. TOEFL is an exam to prove your English level. Since you are a non-native speaker, I recommend getting your level certified and then taking CELTA.
@@ESLTeacher365 thank you so much for the information madam.
What level is 150 hours TESOL course from Arizona State University.
Level 3. It’s not a CELTA equivalent.
Do I have to get one of these certificates to become an online English teacher on EF?
Yes. Their website says you need a course of at least 40 hours, but most basic courses are 120 hours.
your teeth is so perfect!
ARE so perfect
Hi, may I know an online TEFL between OISE University of Toronto and International TEFL Academy, which one is better?
ITA is rated higher on Go Overseas. You can check out reviews of TEFL certificates there. I have spoken with staff at ITA and they are wonderful.
Thanks a lot!
Where is ITA located?
Hello ma'am,
I am interested to do TEFL COURSE .
As I am not a native speaker so it is mandatory to give the IELTS exam before applying to do the course. The level of my English is that I lack fluency . Could you help me into this .And I am not financially strong so could help me in choosing the best TEFL online courses.
I highly recommend getting your English level to a C1 or C2 before doing your TEFL course. I recommend CELTA, ITA or CertTESOL for non-native speakers. Unfortunately these courses are expensive, but they are the highest quality and NNS need to be as qualified as possible.
Hello Jamie
Just find your channel and subscribed;-)
My husband is native English speaker and he teach business&economics here in Dubai.. This is his second year so he is still NQT till next year
He is 50 years old
I’m wondering is it possible to teach English online if you are a bit older?
He has BA in Hospitality and Tourism
Master in Human Resources and PGCE in Business
We are planing to perhaps live in my country in the future ( Croatia) and wonder if he can make a bit of extra money online even if he will be over 50
Please be honest ha ha
Regards from us from Dubai ♥️
Yes, it’s possible. However, if he teaches business and econ, it would be best to start his own freelance online teaching business to teach business English since most companies pay poorly these days.
@@ESLTeacher365 great!
Thanks for your fast answer
Will “ investigate” this option too
Perhaps some other youTube videos on this subject:-)
We have house in Croatia so no rent
We don’t need big income
Just a bit to cover some bills ;-)
Kind regards from both of us from Dubai
Take care ♥️
Yes 🙂
