Announcement.

While TEFL Online Pro generally does not engage in refuting obvious lies and smear campaigns, we feel it is our duty to address a slate of ludicrous allegations for the sake of transparency and clarity.

For the past few years, four business competitors have spread false assertions about our company.

The intention is to tempt people to take one of their courses instead of a TEFL Online Pro Fully Accredited course.

ESLinsider, ITTT TEFL, MyTEFL, and The TEFL Academy are notorious in the TEFL marketplace for this poor business practice. They routinely target their business competitors, TEFL review websites, and accreditation bodies – any company or organization they perceive as an existential threat to their business model.

TEFL Online Pro has issued official statements:

TEFL Online Pro was voted Teachers’ Choice Award winner in, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024:

We also have TEFL students’ customer video testimonials on our YouTube channel:

In this article, we highlight a few of the main sources for verified feedback of the award-winning TEFL/TESOL certification courses program.

Every online marketplace has its fair share of scams, and its fair share of bad-apple companies, and the Online TEFL/TESOL industry is no different in this respect. Locating trustworthy reviews, written by real customers, should be at the top of your list when considering which Online TEFL/TESOL certification course to take.

Quite a lot of mudslinging takes place within the Online TEFL/TESOL community, perpetuated predominantly by competing Online TEFL/TESOL schools, so it is important to try to differentiate between what has been written by a competing program, with a specific agenda in mind, and what has been written by a real customer, that is leaving genuine feedback of their course experience.

Where are the main sources for verified reviews of the tefl online pro international TEFL/TESOL certification program?

Facebook

Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision of disabling the Reviews tab on our company Facebook page. This was because of a consistent amount of spam links and fake reviews, and a complete lack of customer support from Facebook. Tech companies have laid off a huge number of staff and this is clearly reflected in the dire customer support – something that only exists in practice if you pay for advertising on Facebook.

UPDATE: Facebook has now removed the majority of the spam links and fake reviews – only one fake review by ‘Sammy Smith’ remains – and our Facebook page Reviews are now enabled again:

The TEFL Online Pro YouTube channel is growing – as are the recommendations.

Response to Misinformation About TEFL Online Pro

We understand that choosing a TEFL course is a big decision, and that trust matters.

At TEFL Online Pro, we have proudly trained thousands of international teachers since 2019, providing fully accredited, internationally recognized TEFL/TESOL certification. We are committed to supporting our graduates in securing teaching jobs online and around the world. Unfortunately, as our success has grown, so too have efforts by a few competitors to damage our reputation with misinformation and deceptive tactics.

We feel it’s important to publicly address and clarify several false claims being circulated online:


False Reviews and Defamatory Content

We have observed ongoing attempts by two TEFL businesses—The TEFL Academy and ESLinsider (Ian Leahy)—to undermine TEFL Online Pro through false and misleading content.

1. The TEFL Academy & Affiliate Activity

An affiliate marketer linked to The TEFL Academy, Caitriona McTiernan, operates a blog named TPR Teaching. This blog has published biased, inaccurate information about TEFL Online Pro, including fake or misleading reviews that do not reflect our customers’ real experiences. We are aware of a coordinated effort to manipulate online search results by spreading this misinformation.

In one notable instance, a student named Megan Broccoli enrolled in and completed our TEFL course, received her certificate promptly, and then claimed—within an hour of receiving it—that it was rejected by a language school. This claim is implausible and appears designed to discredit our course rather than represent a genuine job-seeking experience. Megan subsequently posted this false narrative on Reddit’s r/TEFL, a forum that unfortunately lacks proper moderation of vendor-related content.

2. Ian Leahy of ESLinsider

Ian Leahy, owner of ESLinsider, has been spreading misinformation about numerous TEFL providers, including ours, for years. His campaign includes publishing false reviews, blog posts, and forum comments. Ian has been banned from platforms such as Facebook for repeated violations related to misinformation and online harassment. His accusations are baseless and have been widely discredited by the TEFL community.


Our Credentials and Track Record

  1. Established in 2019, TEFL Online Pro is a verified, fully accredited TEFL certification provider.
  2. Our certificates are internationally recognized, and our alumni are teaching in over 80 countries, as well as online.
  3. We consistently receive verified 5-star reviews across platforms from real graduates.
  4. Every course graduate receives personal job assistance to ensure a smooth transition into teaching.

We do not engage in negative marketing or competitor defamation. Our focus is on empowering teachers and ensuring the quality and integrity of our programs.


Our Commitment to Transparency

If you come across a negative review or questionable blog post, we encourage you to:

  1. Reach out to us directly for clarification.
  2. Request to speak with one of our alumni to hear about their experience firsthand.
  3. Compare our course features, graduate outcomes, and student support with other providers to make an informed decision.

Final Thoughts

We are saddened by the unethical behavior of a few individuals and organizations in the TEFL industry, but we remain focused on our mission: to provide high-quality teacher training and support for a global community of educators.

We thank our students and graduates for their trust and continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at info@teflonlinepro.com.

Teach. Travel. Explore.

Teaching English overseas presents a fantastic opportunity of seeing the world, while funding your travels along the way. Some people choose to teach English abroad in their gap year, others see it as the perfect opportunity to live abroad for a few years and some people find a home away from home and make teaching English their choice of life career.

Wherever you want to travel, there is a high chance you will be able to teach English there. Every year at tefl online pro we train up hundreds of people just like yourself, who then join the thousands of tefl online pro graduates who have either taught, or who are now teaching in classrooms from Austria to Zanzibar. There has been no better time to start the adventure than now and when you are sunset-sipping cool Pilsner beers on a Prague rooftop bar or satisfyingly slurping down a 1 dollar bowl of phở in a mom-and-pop shop side street Hanoi restaurant, you can reminisce about your old life and feel a sense of personal pride.

The tefl online pro International Job Guidance Team has a perfect score in helping to find our graduates teaching English positions abroad, and is available for you at any time during your teaching English career. It doesn’t just stop once you have secured your first teaching position.

Teach. Travel. Experience.

In the past there was only the one option of getting trained up and receiving the internationally recognized TEFL certificate: expensive, time-consuming residential TEFL courses. Times have changed though and these days more people are choosing instead to study TEFL online.

Apart from time and money, there are so many other reasons why you should choose to go the TEFL online route. For a start, the time pressures are much lower and you can choose to study at your own pace, and this is an extremely convenient option if you are working or have other time commitments. Another major benefit of not going the traditional onsite TEFL route is that by taking your TEFL online, you have the freedom to study wherever you want. All you need is a laptop, tablet or phone with an internet connection and you are ready to go. You can study at home, on the go, or while resting at the local park or beach. 

Getting TEFL certified with tefl online pro is a smooth process and typically takes 2-4 weeks from the day you secure your Online or Combined TEFL course place. Our interactive, intuitive, engaging course modules will help you gain the fundamental teaching skills and confidence needed to teach English effectively.  

1. Choose your course and secure your course place. 

2. Gain course access and study at your own pace. 

3. Graduate and start teaching English.

Teach. Travel. Chill.

Have you ever dreamed of living and working abroad? Imagine yourself stopping off at your local pâtisserie on your usual route through the cobbled Paris streets to reach your morning classes, or picturing yourself catching a Thursday evening auto rickshaw home from school and getting ready for a long weekend away kicking back on a southern Thailand island. At tefl online pro we have helped thousands of graduates find teaching jobs worldwide, and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t join them.

Teaching English abroad enables you to live an authentic local experience where you get to meet people you would never have had the opportunity of meeting otherwise. And you will also get to know other expats like yourself, who have also taken the plunge and gone for it. 

Teaching English as a Foreign Language affords you the freedom and opportunity of discovering and reinventing yourself. And who knows? You might just meet that one particularly special local who makes you want to settle abroad permanently in a life-changing relationship. Then you’ll have 2 places where you can call home and you’ll be able to show family and friends around when they travel out to visit you.

Wherever you want to live and teach, the opportunities are waiting for you. Teach. Travel. Experience.

We are also experts in the field of helping place tefl online pro graduates into high-paying online teaching (from home) employment, through our extensive research of online language schools and our international contacts.
