I have completed the 180hr Highfield TEFL course. The course itself was organized really good and with great content. I enjoyed receiving helpful feedback on my exams. My written assessments were always graded quickly and sent to me with the feedback shortly after I submitted them. Hardly any waiting at all. I would like to thank Rachel for informing me of my success in passing this course.

I just finished the 10 hour Virtual TEFL course tonight. It was brilliant from start to finish. Michelle Benson is an excellent presenter and teacher. She really engaged us and put us at ease, and she spent time answering our questions. As I only started TEFL at the start of September , I noticed as well that she explained the complicated verb tenses in English really well. It was very inspiring to listen to her, and I loved the way she explained the different parts of teaching. I'm so happy I've started this course. The 10 hour virtual course makes you feel much more enthusiastic too. Michelle has the magic!
