This is a shout out to Sahm. He has been of phenomenal help. He always goes the extra mile even more than what a person asks. He is always friendly and ready for whatever comes his way. I hope I to I know how lucky they are to have him. I also hope he gets promoted. I'm rooting for him.

My journey with i-to-i TEFL has been absolutely amazing so far. I have enjoyed learning and building on my own knowledge throughout my courses and truly appreciate the help I got along the way.

I really enjoyed my TEFL course. The coursework is easy to follow through a because it is self paced. I really like the fact that I received feedback on my assignments from my tutors, it really made me feel like I am not doing it alone.

Adhikar Sham
Justina was extremely kind and helpful in resolving my issue. I was not too sure as to whether or not u needed to purchase a course extention. However, when I reached out to customer support, Justina went the extra mile to ensure that i was a happy customer and solved my issue by extending my course for free by an additional 2 weeks.

An excellent programme with very relevant content and appropriate notional hour weighting (1 semester = 60 credits = 600 notional hours > 420 notional hours). The assessments were well timed and authentic.

Each mentor I've encountered has been very supportive and patient clearly they are passionate in what they do.
Candy Naidoo

I thank the TEFL team for their feedback ,I am very happy that I joined TEFL as I do know I have a great team supporting me in my teaching journey. I will definitely recommend TEFL to everyone I know because I am really pleased with them.

I completed the i-to-i 320 Hour Diploma Course some time ago and have already left a very favourable review of that. I have now completed their Level 5 Award in Supporting Learners to Prepare for an English Language Examination. This was probably the hardest and most interesting TEFL module. It really had me thinking outside the box – apologies for the cliché! The quality of the materials is on a par with those from the Open University, and that is high praise indeed. Marking is fast, thorough and helpful. It is a fully-regulated and accredited CELTA-level course for a fraction of the cost.
Teacher Maria
I studied my TEFL 120 hours with i-to-i more than 5 years ago. And till this day, they remain honest and supportive. I'm glad that I chose you. In the past I've had difficulties with authentication of my certificate. But, once they (other schools & companies) saw that I was certified they didn't give me any more trouble.
Amanda Witherspoon
Very happy with the customer service I received from Gemma James!

Mary Atieno Okumu
The timely and helpful nature of customer support put me at ease. Kudos!
Joyce
The course is of high standard. The Tutors are quite constructive in their feedback. I don't feel demotivated or overwhelmed by the feedback . I'm rather given strength and the urge to try again and succeed. However the course requires a lot of hard work which is not a bad think at all.
Charlene Sithole
Thank for the opportunity to submit and your support . U are excellent.
Chanelle Johanah Dube
They live up to their promises and they are always available so you never go through TEFL journey alone❤️They are very patient too.
Anastasiia
I've passed the level 5 180h course and it was great! It contains everything I wanted to know; I received all feedbacks from a tutor really quickly (practically within a day) and all of them were extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend it!
Kurt Keffers
EVERYTHING about I-to-I has been AMAZING!!!From the beginning, Sahm Amirsedghi & the team was really really helpful, and accommodating. When I did my 20 Hour Practical, I had the opportunity to work with another i-to-i and in my opinion a "legend" in the teaching abroad field, her name is Miss Katie Powell. Then the amazing and consistent academic assistance from Catherine Kilbane, absolutely blew me away!...The word "pristine" would be the best way to describe my experience thus far!Thank you, thank you, and once more, thank you!!!

I had a strong desire to work and travel but no idea how to accomplish this. Completing 120hrs online course has made this possible. The course is set out well and clearly explains every section. The content of the course is full of valuable information and further study attachments. After completing TEFL with i-to-i, I now feel confident at writing a Lesson Plan and teaching English to beginners. This course does not include practical teaching in a class, however, teaching experience can be obtained through i-to-i.
Dale
This course was amazing, so much so I became all emotional when I completed Unit 10 of the 180 hrs. i-to-i has been a great friend and a companion over these last few months, now onto the rest of the units within the course. I can't thank you enough for all your support and look forward to the next steps. I cannot recommend this course highly enough.
Antoinette Swart-hilhorst
I highly recommend the Academic Support Team of i-to i Tefl, particularly Catherine Kilbane, I experienced her level of expertise and dedication firsthand and appreciate all of her assistance and suggestions. She is incredibly patient, skilled and I can only thank her as she was able to assist me in better understanding where I went wrong, and her advise was invaluable.
Cassie
I am absolutely happy with the amount and type of support I have received from Mr Sahm. As much as it is frustrating to have to redo an assignment he has been patient and has guided me to better understand where I have gone wrong and how to improve my work. Mr Sahm thank you so much for your help and for your patience. i-to-i tefl is definitely a great place to find a the perfect course for you where you have multiple options to pick from.

Sue-ann Rindfleisch
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I just took it far too easy in the beginning and then had to work like a dog to make up for lost time. I think your tutors are great. They always marked my assignments far quicker than expected and were always very positive in their comments even when I had to resubmit an assignment. The information is well thought out and extremely well formatted. The videos are informative and the quizzes (although some are quite tricky) fun and worthwhile. Altogether an extremely worthwhile course and I am so happy that I signed up with i to i. THANK YOU!
Saumya Roy Choudhury
Very responsive and always with you.
Anthony Rose
It has been great to be guided evry step of the way with positive feedback and encouragement.
Luz Delahunty Villena
My 5 star review is for Sahm. He is the assistant who has been advising me through a few problems I was having with my lesson plan. I cannot rate him highly enough. He even called me in Spain to offer support and advice. He is an absolute credit to the company and could not have been more professional, supportive and patient. Sahm, I hope you get to read this review. Thank you so much for everything.
Angelique

Nina Mchunu
i-to-i was so supportive and helpful throughout my TEFL journey. I was a little apprehensive about starting this TEFL journey because I have no teaching experience but I’m so glad I got on board with them. Their tutors are extremely kind and cater to your personal learning needs. A friend recommended i-to-i to me and I would gladly recommend it to anyone else trying to kickstart their TEFL journey!
Andrea Jade Brooks
