Im still trying to understand which one is better 😭
I like that you guys did an honest review of the two companies. I have been trying to find real reviews that weren't sponsored by the companies. I have been going over a bunch of stuff. If it's no trouble, can I ask did the Mytefl actually send you a hard copy of your certificate along with a digital or pdf copy at no charge, or was there a charge?
thanks Katie, glad to hear :) Once you’re finished the course myTEFL sends you a PDF of the certificate. You have the option of ordering a hard copy from them (which I did) for about $10 USD afterwards!
@@pbjofficial oh awesome. That is not bad, one company wanted $75 for a hard copy. Ok, one more question, since completing your tefl, have you had any trouble with your job placement, which I guess is outside of the US, but did they say if the certificate will be accepted here in the US once you come back? Thank you for taking the time to answer if you can. It's very much appreciated.
TEFL is more useful for teaching outside of your home country. We’re based in Canada, will be heading to China and have had no troubles so far with it!
Hi there
I watched your video abut My TEFL and also finished it few days ago. I am a bit confused, because of all the bad reviews that My TEFL gets on the internet. People say that they are not accredited TEFL online course and stuff. Any thoughts on that. Would appreciate your opinion. Best Regards Nick.
what's up guys. thanks for the great info. just used PBJ35OFF for myTEFL. cheers
Phoebe, did you have to do any practical assignments for mytefl? If so, what was it like? I started the TEFL Academy course and I’m having trouble with the practical assignments. I feel like the course didn’t prepare me well. Especially because I’m new to teaching,
hey Sarah! No practical assignments for myTEFL - if you don't feel prepared I highly suggest reaching out to the school you will be teaching at and ask for any resources from existing teachers. As well there are a lot of sites online like www.teachervision.com/teaching-strategies/new-teacher-resources that you can have as a reference point. Good luck!
Hey thank you for the video! What package did you chose for myTEFL? I wonder if it's worth forking out the extra bucks for the Master TEFL package or if the other 3 options suffice.
I chose the 120-hour course for myTEFL!
I want to apply for the Mytelf 120 hours and on the website it says that it takes about 3 months... if I want to finish faster than that would that be possible?
Yes of course! You can take it at your own pace and go as fast as you want
I just finished MyTEFL and thinking of using their job placement. When I use their job placement, the salary thats listed on that site, does those salary comes directly to me? Also are they legit?
I haven’t used their job placement services personally, but I'd advise finding jobs on your own. Perhaps just emailing around or talking to someone who works at a school you're interested in
@@pbjofficial did you really get TEFL certificate from mytefl?
@@g1tv456 yep! then i got connected with a teacher in sz from a friend and applied to that school
@@pbjofficial why do you advise to on finding jobs on my own? is there something that I should be aware when I use the MyTEFL job placement?
@@g1tv456 I honestly have never used it so I can't comment. But in my experience of job searching, even outside of the teaching field it's better to make connections directly. As you will get more feedback about the position itself and can speak to other people who have worked at the same company. Their service may be good I'm not sure check reddit.
Thanks. Very informational!
Jun Kim thanks :) and good luck to you!
Thanks for making this video! What motivated you to make a career change and go to teach in China?
We both worked the corporate life for a bit, so we wanted to get out of canada and experience living abroad. Tom also was interested in the education sector so this was a good segue into that!
@@pbjofficial Awesome! That's brave of you all to make such a change and explore a new place and career :)
hey! i just stumbled upon your channel. both of my parents are chinese, but i got my college degree as an english teacher here in costa rica. problem is... i look chinese as well hahaha. are there any issues with it rn? i really wanna go to china and have a different experience. thanks in advance!
as long as your english is native-level you should be ok!
@@pbjofficial hey thanks for replying! ive been considering going to gz, but my mom just told me they are going into quarantine again... what a bummer
@@DarkDetectiveLight ya theres some cases there right now but im sure it'll clear up in a few weeks they're doing mass testing of the city
How much money do you make from each sale as an affiliate?
A small percentage :)
With Letstefl, did you have an opportunity to teach in a university? My goal is to teach in Japan ✨Though I’m a non-native english speaker
No we didn't have that experience, good luck!
is MyTEFL accredited? and if yes by which organization?
hey! check this link out mytefl.com/about/accreditation/ as well you can contact them directly for more info
Hi there. I would like to ask if the mytefl is an accredited online course? I can teach with it in China? I have see so many scam.. I am Afraid to pay for Online courses less then I am Sure.... Thanks
yes! We're both in China teaching with it now :)
@@pbjofficial thank you! Can I also ask if the school asked you a notarized version of the diploma or you just took the hard copy of the certificate? I don't find any information about it.. Thank you
the school asked for a notarized version of the diploma as it was one of the documents needed in the Z visa process. I wrote more in depth about it here: www.phoebespicks.com/home/how-to-get-your-china-z-work-visa-2019-with-examples
@@pbjofficial Where are you guys based? I'm out in Shenzhen. It's great here.
@@ciaranm4860 we're in Shenzhen too!
Which is better between the two? I'm torn between these 2 providers. Thank you!
Hey Mary! Better in what sense? Both courses are very similar, which factor is most important for you (cost, time, value)? In the description we also do have discount codes :)
@@pbjofficial I'd like to know which one has more lessons on actual teaching techniques like how to teach different age groups, and which certificate is more recognized in Europe where I plan to teach. Thank you!! 😊
I'm also particular with value for money. 😊
Content for both courses are relatively similar in regards to techniques for different age groups.
If you want to go with TEFL make sure you complete at least a 120 hour course! You can plug in the coupon code and see which course is cheaper at the moment.
While we can only speak from our experience of applying to schools in Shenzhen (China), we do have friends who have taught in Europe. It depends on the school, but online TEFL was fine for Italy and Spain, you may have to do a bit more research. Good luck!
@@pbjofficial Thank you so much for your help!! 😊
hello. is the pbj35off still applicable
yup!
@@pbjofficial it's not working when I put it . It says that the code is not correct.
@@michoyaaa8314 if you use this link: bit.ly/2CCm7ay then enter the code, should work :)
Thank you guys for clearing this up, i really appreciate it !! the thing is i'm from Morocco, Africa, and i was wondering if being a non native english speaker has anything to do with anything, like is it going to make look bad to employers ??
Glad to hear! I've definitely seen job postings for teachers that are non-native speakers and still offer around $15K/month, so don't worry. Just try to interview with a handful of employers to find the best fit.
@@pbjofficial I appreciate u !! God bless u
You usually need to be a native speaker to get a visa for most jobs in Asia anyways, but sometimes you don't it depends.
so what did they both cost?
We put the cost at 0:48, keep in the mind the prices always fluctuate so make sure to use the discount code for the best price!
you mentioned also needing a bachelors degree to begin teaching. I do not have bachelors, only an associates. will I not be able to teach even with my TEFL if i don't have a bachelors? how will it affect my job search? thank you.
Hi Stevie! The general requirement is a bachelors degree, but I think as long as you double check with the employer their requirements - an associates or 4 year degree may be fine. Good luck :)
You should definitely try to use your bachelors degree in education as leverage, there is room for negotiation. As well, interview with several employers.
I’ve heard teaching in Japan is amazing :) if you want to go for a change in lifestyle, culture and to learn some new things for a short while I’d recommend it.
