Cheap TEFL that actually teaches

The Cheapest TEFL Course With Real Tutor Feedback

Most cheap TEFL courses stop at automated quizzes, so nobody ever checks whether you can plan a lesson. That practical part is what's missing from cheap TEFL. Plenty of expensive courses are fully automated too. Ours aren't. Even our ' + p('120') + ' 120-hour Premium TEFL gives you feedback on every practice task (thousands of tutor-written lines), scenario-based learning, real teaching video lessons and full video and audio for the course text. In our 120-hour Practical TEFL, you also get a personal tutor, a qualified English teacher who grades 2 written lesson planning assignments against a rubric, sends personalised feedback within 24 hours and lets you resubmit. Pass, and your certificate says "with Practical Assignments". It's accredited by OTCAC, and it's $59, paid once.

Online TEFL courses with tutor feedback: prices compared

We looked at well-known 120-hour online TEFL courses that offer tutor support, and noted what each course page says about who marks your work. We've quoted each page rather than guessing, and linked them all so you can check.

Prices are as shown on each provider's page on 7 November 2026, in the currency shown, and sale prices change often. Some of these courses are longer, regulated or include extras that ours don't, such as a Level 3 qualification. Very cheap courses, from around $27, usually have automated quizzes only, with no tutor-graded work.

Why it matters

The practical part is what cheap TEFL leaves out

Reading about teaching isn't the same as planning a lesson someone has checked. Here's what tutor feedback adds.

You find out what to fix

A tutor reads your lesson plan, grades it against a clear rubric and tells you what works and what to change, in writing, within 24 hours.

You get a second try

Use the feedback and resubmit. Improving a plan after feedback is exactly what schools expect you to do in your first job.

Employers can see it

Pass both assignments and download a certificate that says "with Practical Assignments", explaining that a tutor graded your lesson planning.

Feedback at every price

Cheap TEFL with no feedback? Not here.

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.

  1. 1
    Feedback on everything you practiseFrom $49: thousands of lines of instant, tutor-written feedback on every scenario task and quiz.
  2. 2
    Scenarios and real lessonsClassroom simulations, real teaching videos and full video and audio for the course text.
  3. 3
    A personal tutorFrom $59: a qualified English teacher you email directly, usually answering within 2 hours.
  4. 4
    2 graded written assignmentsPlan real lessons. Your tutor grades them against a rubric within 24 hours and you can resubmit.

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.
