Student Testimonials:

"I was referred to Star-Tefl through a friend. I did the weekend TEFL course in Nottingham and Star-Tefl helped me find a local company running summer camps for foreign students over the summer break. It was a great time and I really loved teaching. This year is my final year of Uni, I plan to add one of the online courses to the TEFL weekend and go out and teach in Italy. The weekend course was really informative and great fun and the buzz you get from teaching is great."
- Abigail, Dublin

"I recently came back from South Korea to get qualified and return to teach out there with my girlfriend. I was terrified of teaching at first because I had never done anything like it. The trainer was very patient and I actually found that once I got over the initial nerves I actually started to enjoy it. These guys really know what they are talking about and I would recommend them to any one of my friends."
- Andrew, Manchester

"Having never left the country for more than a 2 week holiday I was really nervous about going away for 4 weeks. It was probably one of the most difficult and yet enjoyable things I have ever done. The whole 4 weeks were a constant roller-coaster of excitement and nerves. The tutors were really supportive and patient, especially about the grammar! The best thing that really gave me confidence was that I could see how much I had improved over the 4 weeks and how the students changed towards me. Overall I would recommend the experience, just be prepared to work hard."
- Kate, London
 
"The 2 days were really tiring but it was really enjoyable as well and by the end of it I was able to see how much I had learnt. The atmosphere was really relaxed and the trainer was great. I had done some teaching years ago and it was good to have a refresher before I came out to Saudi. Running a weekend Tefl course in Cambridge made it hassle free which was important because the days were so long. I had a great time and learnt a lot and so would recommend Star-Tefl."
- Emily, Birmingham
