TEFL Heaven

If you are contemplating teaching abroad with TEFL but you're worried about not adapting, feeling lonely, struggling to see yourself in a classroom or lacking confidence in any way - reset your mind and just do it anyway! I wish I had woken up, stopped fretting and sat this course a long time ago without deliberation.

Studying on an island where there are so many excursions and cool locations is like a dream come true. The quality of teaching is also really thorough and exciting. Our main trainer (Suzanne) was amazing and so enthusiastic! She made us all so excited to start working and imparted tons of wisdom whilst also being really supportive! Training was hilarious, competitive, fun and more informal than I'd imagined. However, the best perk of the entire training programme was the sense of community that was generated on Samui. When travelling, you make acquaintances and decent friends but with TEFL, you will bond with an amazing bunch of people and construct true, life-long friendships. I've already made multiple future plans with my fellow trainees which include further travel, and potential work in other Asian countries. I can't wait to see how the TEFL stepping stone will effect my life in years to come.

This experience, as brilliant and rewarding as it is, is just the beginning. I know that once I'm done in Thailand, the show will go on! Don't be afraid or look back. If you have the smallest inkling that working abroad may suit you, just take the gamble and do it while you can!
