Great course

This is a great course for getting your TEFL certification!
It has been an intensive program but I assure you that it is absolutely worth it! I learned so much and made so many connections in a foreign country. It has been an amazing experience an would absolutely reccomend it to anyone trying to get into teaching. The staff and teachers are very supportive and I'm so happy. I would definitely give this course two thumbs up!

Teaching with style Thailand

This course is good to experience a new culture and language... The immersion into the foreign context was excellently executed. Great teachers who focused on proper orientation and understanding of the content being covered... Also a great awareness of the learning areas needed to invest into candidates...

A poem to end this review:

Between the tenses I will search for you... The past we had... The present I will search for you in senses and words and expressions... I can gaze on the memories in photographs... In the future I will search for you as I see similar sights and sounds... In the future I hope I will find the perfect continuous 💞🌸

What would you improve about this program?
By just being authentic in every aspect of the process and more individual attention.... Interjection!

Tefl bangkok is the best thing i have ever done. It has increased my capability as a teacher.i will definitely use these methods with my teachings. A big thanks to our trainer Mrs Anamika for being succh a good trainer and helping her in the best ways possible. Thank you tefl bangkok. I would suggest who want to teach or love to teach should join this course and experience the change that comes along with it. U will only move forward after taking tefl and it will open many doors for you.

A learning experience

The course was incredibly intensive. There were many things I learned that I’d never learned before. The classes were fascinating and deeply introspective, and forced me to think in ways I’d never before imagined I could. A great course.
The site requires me to type at least 400 characters, and I shall acquiesce with pleasure. The teaching opportunities in the schools were amazing, and the students couldn’t have been more cooperative. These were incredible learning opportunities for us, and what we learned fundamentally changed our entire outlook on teaching.
The theoretical aspects of the class were deeply philosophical, and did so much more than simply educate us. Needless to say, my psyche had been irrevocably shaken.
My classmates were cool too.

What would you improve about this program?
A little more focus on adult teaching. Just a little.

Good TEFL course

The programme is good. The teacher is excellent with years of experience. The accomodation provided by the institute is fine.There were participants from about 8 countries.It also ensured maximum cross cultural exposure to the learners.I recommend it to all who want to be a teacher. The participants most of them had diverse experience. Some of them were teachers with years of experience. It helped person like me. This programme contrary to popular belief is not an easy one. You have to work really hard to earn this certification. There are alot of coursework, presentations and live teaching assignments in reputed schools. So think before you enroll. If you can work hard then it is a great programme to do. Good luck all future participants.... !!

Learning is fun

I liked the experience of learning the different techniques and most of all making friends. It was a good experience teaching in Thai schools.The trainer showed us different methods and it was interesting doing a peer teach.The most fun experience was learning new stuff daily and travelling. It taught me independence and to work in groups.I loved the fun classes. It was nice meeting people from all over the world and I think that was the best part .

What would you improve about this program?
Make the course a bit longer at least 4 weeks.

Room to improvement.

I came to TEFL course with high expectations, and unfortunately the course didn't meet my expectations.

I worked as a teacher for some time, in different countries too. And I came with great expectations to grow, learn new things and be inspired, that didn't happened.

It doesn't mean it was bad. It was a good experience, and I've learned new structures of lesson plan that I didn't know before, that was good. I met incredible people, my colleagues in class. And had an amazing time at the schools during practice. Simply loved it.

What would you improve about this program?
I would recommend if I know changes were made.
-Better time management.
-Native English speaker trainer.
-Better communication between trainer and Administration.

ACT 120 hrs Teacher Training Course

It has been such an amazing 3 weeks. So many memories made which I will cherish forever. The course is really intensive so don’t take it lightly. There’s a lot of things to learn and cover. Thank you to our trainer Adi for being so amazing and great at what she does, my classmates who have been so much fun to be with and thank you, Pak, for all the support. Thank you ACT !

PROs
I found our instructor, Adi, and my peers amazing. Quality of instruction was fun, creative, and informative. The methods worked well during our teaching practice.

CONs:
NOT ENOUGH TIME! There is a lot of info needed in teaching and 3 weeks is not enough. My peers and I were often exhausted or unwell because of the intensity of it. I wish the upper management would understand that they are providing a learning service to people, not programming robots.

Over all - I loved this course recommend it.

What would you improve about this program?
I will have to come back to this. I have great suggestions but very pressed for time right now.

My TEFL experience

To begin with they were really supportive in the class, the hotel management, the travel support and everything else too. It was a nice experience to learn here. The activities planned were good and made everyone active. It was a very intensive course and prepared me to be a teacher. We had to work really hard and improve. As we say in TEFL " from caterpillar to butterfly" it's quite relatable now. Although, the job assistance was not upto the mark. They did not give us enough options. The course is over today, and hardly any of us have got jobs. So it will be really very helpful if they could assist us better agencies, and job portals.

What would you improve about this program?
As I mentioned above, the job assistance should be improved, because that is something we are all looking upto in the end.
We had one agency coming over and they gave us all one offer. There were no options provided other than that. And the agency service is not good as well.

Not really satisfied

We had our classes for more than 8 hours. Always with a postponed lunch break and rest of the day we had to prepare our lesson plans for the next day Back to back.
The classes were not properly divided. Breaks we’re postponed and sometimes were delayed.
There was more focus over Natives and not over non natives.
Faculty stressed to use Accents to everybody which makes no sense. Partial.l, demotivating and made no sense.

What would you improve about this program?
A disciplined faculty who’s more active at everything.
