TEFL Online Pro has been operating internationally since 2019, providing online TEFL certification for people who want to teach English abroad or online.
We’ve trained thousands of students online, with graduates working across online platforms, private language schools, international schools, and universities.
In 2025, we received the Teachers’ Choice Award for the seventh consecutive year, based on feedback from graduates and employers.
We published this page to clarify information about our courses that appears in online discussions and to provide accurate context for prospective students.
The TEFL industry is highly competitive, and online information can sometimes be inconsistent. We encourage students to focus on verifiable information when making decisions.
Context Regarding a Recent Reddit Review
We would not usually name an individual customer, but the author of a recent Reddit post (Megan Broccoli) is listed as an affiliate marketer for a competing TEFL provider, The TEFL Academy (TTA).
A TEFL Online Pro course was purchased for this individual. The course was completed and the certificate was issued approximately one hour after completion. Approximately one hour after receiving the certificate, a Reddit post was published making claims about the value of our certificates.
The pricing referenced in the post does not match our official records, and digital certificates are included in the course fee at no additional cost.
The statements made in the post, including claims attributed to our team, do not reflect our official communications or the experience of the vast majority of our verified graduates.
This is not the first instance where TEFL Online Pro has been mentioned in online content published by individuals associated with competing TEFL providers.
Approximately four years ago, similar content about TEFL Online Pro, including a Reddit post and related blog content, was also published by an individual publicly associated with The TEFL Academy’s affiliate program.
ESLinsider – Related Online Content
ESLinsider is an independent TEFL blog run by an individual (Ian Patrick Leahy) who also runs an online TEFL program. It operates as a competitor in this space. Ian has been banned from Facebook since 2017 for spreading misinformation on the platform.
Readers should consider this context when evaluating content published on his website’s blog.
Google Ads – Misuse of Our Brand Name by Competitors
Some TEFL providers have run paid Google Ads featuring our business name in the title. Our only official school website is https://teflonlinepro.com/.
Niche TEFL Communities
Niche forums, such as the r/TEFL subreddit, often focus on specific aspects of the TEFL community. While they can provide useful discussion, some content may promote certain programs while criticizing others, which can make the information incomplete or biased.
Two short, clearly promotional comment excerpts are shown below as examples from a broader pattern. They are included for independent evaluation and illustrate potential bias within r/TEFL when comparing online TEFL programs.
Readers are encouraged to consult multiple independent sources and verified student reviews when evaluating TEFL courses.

Comparing TEFL Online Pro to (TTA) The TEFL Academy
As The TEFL Academy appears to view TEFL Online Pro as one of its main competitors, we want to be transparent and factual in comparing each program’s flagship course. The goal is to help prospective students make informed decisions based on verifiable features, not opinions or unverified claims.
In the table below, we compare TEFL Online Pro’s 120-Hour Professional course with The TEFL Academy’s Level 5 course. While the TEFL Academy’s course contains more total hours, our 120-Hour course is equivalent in rigor and quality to their Level 5 course as well as CELTA-certified courses.
Unlike The TEFL Academy, we operate fully online. We don’t have large office rental overheads, allowing us to pass these savings directly to our students without compromising course quality or accreditation.
Conclusion / Final Note
At TEFL Online Pro, our priority is delivering high-quality TEFL/TESOL courses and excellent customer service.
We have shared this information to provide full, verified context for prospective students and others researching online TEFL programs. Our goal is to help readers make informed decisions based on factual evidence rather than unverified claims or marketing-driven content.
We encourage prospective students to:
- Review verified student feedback and testimonials
- Consult multiple independent sources
