ESLinsider review, submitted by Lynn.
ESLinsider – a poor experience.
I surely can’t be the first (and very likely won’t be the last) to fall for Ian Leahy’s spiel when he trashes Online TEFL programs and somehow convinces you to take the only “really legit one”.
It turns out to be his course btw.
What began as excitement progressed to worry and then to some hair pulling.
$400 US for a shi**y TEFL course which I’ve recently learned isn’t legit at all.
Ian Leahy owns ESLinsider and he is plastered all over the internet.
Please, don’t fall for his trap.
You’ll be searching for a specific program and come across an ESLinsider post that trashes it (he seems to trash all his competitors) and then takes you down the rabbit hole to Ian’s overpriced and underwhelming TEFL course.
I read on here that he has even been banned from Facebook because of the spreading of BS.
I’ll give it two stars because it was a TEFL course and it did contain some useful information about teaching in Asia, despite some tips for female teachers being overtly misogynistic.
The issue, though, is that no school seems to accept the certificate.
Guess it’s because of his school’s website that really should have raised a red flag from the start.
Guess I’ll just need to pick a different online TEFL provider.
I got fooled once, but not a second time.
I’ve narrowed my search down to OISE University of Toronto TEFL and TEFL Online Pro.
Does anyone have any experience with either program for teaching online work?
TEFL Online Pro is running a very tempting 50% off course discount so I’m veering more toward them.
Any feedback welcome. Thanks!
