–Tutor-graded written assignments: Practical courses only
Best for: self-starters who want a complete course, with feedback on every practice task, at the lowest price.
Longer courses, more value. Each step up costs about $10 more. The 168-hour adds 48 hours on teaching children, teens and adults, and the 220-hour adds 40 hours of Business English, both with your personal tutor, 2 graded written assignments and 24 months to finish. You get a certificate at each stage: 120 and 168 hours, or 120, 168 and 220 hours. More hours on your certificate open more jobs, especially in kids' schools, public school programs and company English.
How the Practical Assignments work. They're 2 written assignments, included in the fee for every Practical course (120, 168 and 220-hour), and you do them after the main course. Pass the main course and you download your regular certificate straight away. Then, if you choose, complete 2 lesson planning assignments: a tutor grades each one against a rubric and sends written feedback within 24 hours, with one resubmission if you need it. Pass them and you download a second certificate that says "with Practical Assignments", explaining that you completed 2 rubric-graded lesson planning activities with real tutor feedback. Skip them, or don't pass, and you keep your regular certificate.
The usual line is that cheap TEFL gives you no feedback and no practical skills. We disagree. Most pricier courses don't give you a dedicated tutor, tutor-graded work, scenario practice and full video, all together. Ours do, from $49.

Feedback on everything you practiseFrom $49: thousands of lines of instant, tutor-written feedback on every scenario task and quiz.

We'll stand behind our price
What people say about cheap TEFL, and what you actually get
Low price, real teaching. Here's how we answer the usual objections.
ClaimCheap TEFL courses don't give you feedback.
FactOurs do, on every practice task. Even our $49 course has thousands of lines of instant feedback, written by our teachers. From $59, a personal tutor also grades your written assignments.
ClaimPay more and you get more.
FactNot usually. Most pricier online TEFL courses don't give you all of this together: a dedicated tutor, tutor feedback on your written work, scenario-based practice with feedback, and full video for the course text. Ours does, from $59, with 24 months to finish. Compare them yourself.
ClaimCheap means no practical skills.
FactYou plan real lessons, work through classroom scenarios and learn from real teaching videos. On every Practical course, your tutor grades your lesson plans, and it goes on your certificate.
ClaimA big-name course is worth paying more for.
FactOnly if you're buying the regulated qualification, such as a Level 5 TEFL or CELTA. Some providers lean on the name of their Level 5 to charge more for an automated 120-hour course. That reputation doesn't transfer: an automated course doesn't mean more just because it costs more. Compare what you actually learn. Ours include a dedicated Online Teaching unit, scenario tasks with feedback and full video for the course text.
ClaimCheap means nobody's behind the course.
FactOur courses are written and marked by qualified, experienced English teachers who teach in international schools, universities and online. We've sold accredited courses since late 2020.
ClaimLonger courses aren't worth the extra.
FactEach step up is about $10. The 168-hour adds 48 hours on children, teens and adults, and the 220-hour adds 40 hours of Business English. You get a certificate at each stage (120, 168 and 220 hours), the same personal tutor and 24 months to finish.

See a real page from Unit 13: Past Tenses

Who stands behind the course
Honest about where we stand
Not CELTA, and we don't pretend to be
We're not Level 5 yet, and we'll never equal CELTA or DELTA. What we are is an unusually high-quality TEFL course for the price, one that actually teaches you how to teach English.
Suitable for around 95% of entry to mid-tier TEFL jobs
~95%of the job adverts we checked
Your 168-hour certificate also shows employers you've trained specifically for young learners, which many schools in Asia look for.
The exceptions
When you'll need something else
A few employers, such as the British Council and some European schools, ask for CELTA, DELTA, Level 5 or a university or government-regulated certificate. They say so in the job advert.
Some countries also ask for a degree before they'll give you a work visa.
Included: Job Support bundle
Job preparation resources for TEFL applications
Updated Job Support and lesson plan bundles
CV and interview help
Lesson plans and worksheets for demo lessons
