I really enjoyed doing the course. I had to extend my course as I worked and learned as I did the course. It was perfect for me.

Gemma has been super helpful in explaining all of the features of the internship to me and never got annoyed by my many questions. She broke down the price and made sure to explain when the payments were. I feel confident in this process because of Gemma and I am excited to teach English abroad!

I'm amazed by the quality-of-service I've received during my course period at the institute, The tutors and academic team are extremely motivational, and they always push you to do your best. I've been helped a lot personally by Catherine who understood my concerns and provided me with an almost immediate solution. I'd suggest anyone who is looking to do their tefl to join this amazing team, you will never regret it!!!

Superb working with i-to-i. No challenger. All that I can say about them is; they're results oriented. Always provide satisfactory services to their customers. you will never regret choosing them.
Stephen Mcquillan
I would highly recommend i to i. They have a wide range of options available in terms of what course is suitable for you from fundamentals of teaching English (basic package) to advanced courses which include different elements of learning English. I found the people at i to i very responsive and engaged. They were always really fast when it came to providing feedback on assignments, responding to queries and they have been really helpful in helping me find work abroad as a teacher now that I'm TEFL qualified. I would recommend without hesitation.
Prince Asamoah
i am extremely satisfied with the services rendered by the entire i- to-i crew especially Gemma James . I am so grateful to you all. I hope you will continue to provide me with the update concerning my upcoming Japan internship in march, 2023. Thank you and more grease to your elbow.
Tinashe T. Mona
This course is very good in many ways. It improves your English. It gives you all the answers you need to teach any student regardless of age, sex, level and class size. I'm grateful to be part of TEFL.
Catharene Van Der Merwe
The course is very comprehensive. As a first language English educator, I found the detail very interesting as many of the concepts that need to be taught to foreign language speakers is taken for granted with first language speakers. The course is designed in such a way that you are taken through the teaching of a foreign language which is very helpful and informative. I found the very detailed feedback on my assignments very encouraging and most helpful. Thank you
Salome Poni
I have just completed my 180 Hours TEFL course and it has been very enlightening, what I have learned so far I have already started to apply practically. I have a son in grade 2 and he has been struggling with English as his educators are native Africans, the school is located in an African language environment and my son also grew up speaking Sesotho, so English is a struggle for him. The improvement I've seen with his grades has been spactacular. And the 2 extra courses I received has helped me to be focused and calm when I work with him. I love what I've learned so far and I can't wait to start working as an online teacher. Thank you TEFL for this opportunity.
David Maxwell
The i-to-i TEFL course has given me all of the tools I need to allow me to teach English, to foreign students, with confidence. The support and quick response at every stage have been excellent, and I would advise anyone wishing to pursue this course to look no further than i-to-i .

Dear Professors first of all I wish to thank you all, for the time spent in imparting to us your knowledge and experience. Your courses were exciting and amazing with lots of websites to help teachers make their lessons interesting. I have taken notes, registered the websites in my favorite files and I have printed a few aids for my future lessons. Although the truth is that I have come to the end of my professional life and will be on retirement soon, I would like to take up my teaching career again to help those in need of learning English. I wish I was younger to travel abroad and reach out to people in a better way. But with this TEFL certificat that has a worldwide recognition I hope to find opportunities to practice the language. I'm also motivated to read or listen to more books, watch more programmes on TV and speak better English to be better able to teach the learners. Thanks once again.
Thersia
Nikki is always ready and available to answer any queries...even going as far to call to make sure you're sorted. Absolutely lovely lady and great service
Tracy Thabethe
Catherine Kilbane explained what I had to do for my assignment. I found this to be very helpful.

I had tons of questions and Nikki was incredibly helpful and supportive with all of it, going above and beyond to help me make sure I was making the right choice of internship and start date.

The i-to-i TEFL 120-hr certification course was more challenging and comprehensive than I'd expected. And I feel that I received an excellent education at a low price. I don't yet know if my final projects have been accepted for certification, but whenever I do get approved, I'll be proud of the accomplishment and of how much effort and learning the certification represents. I'm very glad I selected the i-to-i course. I would highly recommend this course. ps. the coursework took me about 5 weeks (10-15 hrs/wk) and the written projects took me another 2-3 weeks.
Zachary
Well organized. That's awesome!
Ada
I loved the 180h module. It was detailed, but not overwhelming, it had a lot of useful resources and reading suggestions, it was varied in the way it presented information (the class videos helped a lot). I look forward to the next modules.
Lynda Hinnenthal
I really enjoyed it. There's lots of resources and ideas for teaching, and the little quizzes keep you engaged throughout the entire course. They ask questions based on the information you're given, very straight forward. I highly recommend.
Lance
Nikki James was accommodating and thoughtful throughout the booking process, Not only did she help me sort out all the documents I needed, but she also wasn't rushing me as other salespeople do. She is a true paragon of sales and just superb customer service! I will surely recommend more people to I to I because of her. Many thanks to her and her team!
Prabashnie Naicker
Ever since, I started TEFL I was skeptical of where I fit in? Thus far I have had a generous ride. It's been a great experience through ups and downs. I can't wait to go to full steam ahead.
Jessica Van Zyl
The course is easy to navigate and it gives all the information needed. I feel confident and knowledgeable of what to expect and how to prepare! Thank you!
Lauren Harbison
Always very kind, and helpful! Got back to me right away when I would email.

The 180-hour Course which I have just completed (commenced end of March 2022) has been challenging and intense at times. (I do feel I've been a 'bit too slow' :-)) The Course and all the Units are laid out very well (albeit), laden with lots of reading (and Learning). I cannot wait to commence Teaching. I would highly recommend the i-to-i TEFL Course. Thank you! I do have to tackle the One-to-One and Business Section now.
Penny Gill
Excellent academic support

Kirsty-ann
I don't have the words to explain how amazing i-to-i is. The course, amazing, the tutors, brilliant, the customer care, out of this world. I recommend i-to-i to any person that is looking to complete a TEFL certification. I wish I could give them 6 stars.
