Demo Lessons: a $30 add-on for any course
A practical TEFL course where a tutor reviews your work.
Add Demo Lessons to any StudyTEFL course for $30. You get the full course you choose, then plan two lessons and record two demo lessons, with a tutor giving you feedback at every step.
It's for trainees who want someone to look at what they've actually planned and how they've delivered it. Your certificates then show your practical experience. We won't pretend a recorded demo is the same as supervised live teaching practice with real students, though.

Why a practical TEFL course exists
Knowing what a good lesson looks like isn't quite the same as making one yourself.
Every StudyTEFL course already gives you structured methodology, lesson planning, online teaching, six full ESL classroom lessons and 15+ teaching scenarios. Demo Lessons keep all of that, then ask you to produce work a tutor can review.
Create
Turn the ideas into two lesson plans and two recorded demo lessons. You're no longer only recognising good teaching choices. You're making them.
Get feedback
A real teacher reviews your plans and demos, giving you something more useful than a pass or fail quiz result to reflect on.
From course content to your own teaching
See where the tutor feedback comes into your practical TEFL course.
Tap a stage. With Demo Lessons, you move from watching our examples to a tutor looking at work that's yours.
Build the teaching foundation before you're assessed practically.
Work through your course's 24-lesson core, including planning, classroom management, skills teaching, assessment, online teaching, different contexts and finding work.
Written learning and human-narrated video
Six complete ESL classroom lessons
15+ scenario-based teaching tasks
Turn course ideas into two lesson plans of your own.
Planning becomes something you produce rather than something you only read about. The tutor can review the choices you've made in the submitted work.
2 lesson plans with tutor feedback
Apply planning principles yourself
Receive planning feedback
Show how you would deliver teaching, not only how you would describe it.
Submit two recorded demo-teaching tasks. This creates evidence of your delivery for tutor review while remaining distinct from live observed practice with real learners.
2 recorded demo lessons
Demonstrate delivery choices
Receive teaching feedback
Use the feedback to notice what you might change next time.
The point isn't to collect comments for the sake of it. Feedback gives you another perspective on the planning and delivery decisions you've made before you move into job applications.
Identify strengths worth keeping
Spot choices that need refining
Carry the feedback into future planning
Real tutor feedback
See the kind of feedback your practical work can receive.
Demo Lessons add something the self-paced course doesn't: a real teacher reviews work you have created and gives you feedback on your planning and delivery.
The aim isn't simply to tell you whether you passed. Tutor comments can help you notice where a lesson plan is clear, where an activity needs stronger sequencing, or where your recorded teaching could be more effective.
That gives you a chance to reflect on your own teaching choices before you move into job applications or your first classes.

With or without Demo Lessons?
The question isn't “which course is better?” It's “do you want your own work reviewed?”
Every StudyTEFL course already gives new teachers the full learning experience, with tutor support. You don't need Demo Lessons just because they're there.
Add them when the extra value you want is individual feedback on your lesson planning and recorded teaching. If you don't need that, keep the $30.
Who should choose this route?
Practical feedback is useful. It isn't automatically necessary.

What practical feedback means
Recorded demo teaching, not CELTA-style live observed practice.
Demo Lessons ask you to submit recorded demo teaching and lesson plans for review. That gives you an assessed production-and-feedback stage beyond the self-paced core.

Not a substitute for supervised practice
It doesn't turn the course into supervised live teaching practice with real students. If a particular employer or programme requires observed teaching practice of that kind, this course isn't a substitute for that requirement.
We'd rather make the distinction clear before you enroll than stretch the word “practical” further than it should go.

Practical TEFL questions
What people usually want to know before paying the extra $30 for a practical TEFL course.
Which courses can I add Demo Lessons to?+
All of them. Demo Lessons cost $30 on top of any course: $69 with the 120-hour, $79 with the 168-hour and $89 with the 200-hour.
How many practical assignments are there?+
Demo Lessons add two lesson plans and two recorded demo lessons, with tutor feedback on each.
Do I teach real students live?+
No. The practical component uses recorded demo teaching. It's not CELTA-style supervised live teaching practice with real students.
How long do I have access?+
The same as the course you choose: 12 months with the 120-hour, 18 months with the 168-hour and 24 months with the 200-hour. After that you can extend for $10 per extra 3 months.
Does it include online teaching?+
Yes. Online teaching is already part of StudyTEFL's core rather than a separate paid extra. Demo Lessons keep that content and add tutor feedback on your planning and demo teaching.
Is the certificate included?+
Yes. Digital certification is included, and current core certificates use QR-linked online verification. You can download the certificate automatically after you pass, and the verification record is activated manually, so allow up to 12 hours.
Should everyone add Demo Lessons?+
No. If you mainly want the full self-paced course, classroom videos, scenarios and tutor support, the course on its own may be enough. Add Demo Lessons when individual feedback on your own teaching is worth $30 to you.
Can I add Demo Lessons later?+
Yes. If you've already enrolled, contact us and we'll add Demo Lessons to your course for $30.
Is there a refund period?+
StudyTEFL has a 14-day money-back guarantee. The refund is scaled down once you have completed the fourth unit quiz, and no refunds are given after 14 days.
Can I use it for jobs abroad?+
It can support applications to eligible entry-level TEFL roles, but employers and visa authorities set their own requirements. A degree, passport eligibility, experience, legalised documents or a different qualification may still be required.
Want somebody to review your work?
Take a practical TEFL course, then put your planning and delivery in front of a tutor.
If that's the extra you want, add Demo Lessons to any course for $30. If it isn't, every course is still there on its own, from $39.
