Program Reviews

If your planning to teach English in Thailand; and don’t know where to start. This school has got you covered. At this school, they teach you everything you need to know about how to teach English. This course is a life changing experience, that will set you up for life, to teach English effectively. Meanwhile, this course made me become more confident to teach in front of students. My teaching capabilities have improved dramatically. All of the staff at Salisa language are extremely welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend!!

I recommend this course and school wholeheartedly.. Cillian is great at getting the information across in a concise and understandable manner. I went from 0-100 in a month and am all the better for it.

The same goes for all the staff at SLS. Everyone was always at hand to help with whatever was needed. No faults and everyone made certain they were going above and beyond with anything you needed.

They helped me to not only get a job but also get the job I wanted. Mam's Thai lessons on the side were also a major help and brought me up several levels within a month.

I recommend to anybody that wants to teach English in Thailand. Thank you.

Cillian, the course instructor, led a very informative TEFL course. He demonstrated unbiased professionalism throughout the program, calling upon a lifetime of experience as a teacher to reinforce his curriculum. In addition to the 120 hours of instruction on theory, the course consists of 6 hours of practical application in Thai classrooms which in my opinion sets an in-person course ahead of any online option. I personally have over a decade of teaching experience in the military, primary, and secondary schools; TEFL provides a great foundation for teaching English as a second language that even experienced teachers do not have. The support staff at SLS was phenomenal in helping students achieve various goals such as obtaining TOEIC (for NNES) or learning the Thai language. The program also assists students in obtaining employment as a teacher, which resulted in half a dozen offers being extended to me before the completion of the program. The program is a phenomenal investment in your professional skillset that will set you apart from the competition.

I had been in contact with several TEFL course providers in Thailand, and what stood out about SLS was the personal interest which Paul showed in his messages. At the school, that personal touch was evidenced by the entire staff.
The instruction was good, and delivered by a very experienced TEFL teacher, the student teaching was a great experience, but what stands out to me about SLS is the family feel.
Paul keeps not just my experience but my preferences in mind as he helps me with a job search. When I tested positive for Omicron and had to spend 4 days in my apartment, the staff went above and beyond. Chompoo went out to get me medicine and limes for hot citrus water. Paul and Mam checked on me. Cillian accommodated having me in the classroom virtually.
There are a lot of programs out there, but I can't imagine that any are a better experience.

Making the decision to take the TEFL course at SLS was the best move I've ever made. The management and teachers, for example, were all highly qualified and experienced. Sir Paul was a lot helpful and made it very much easy for me to begin my journey to SLS. I must say that I learned a lot. Now that I've completed this course, I feel more prepared to begin my teaching profession, whether as a teacher or as a curriculum planner.
Every member of SLS went out of their way to help each and every student. Every class was planned and delivered in accordance with the established standards and criteria.
I'm happy to be a part of SLS and to have completed a TEFL course.
I appreciate the efforts of the SLS team.

I'm bringing back memories that I'll treasure for the rest of my life.

Cillian is equipped with plenty of experience to share for future English teachers. Due to the Covid situation I had the chance to undergo a one-on-one course with him. It was a very pleasant and insightful course. It made me feel prepared for the job.

The dedicated support by Paul before, during, and after the TEFL course is fantastic. The care to help you reach your goal is heart felt.

Mam, my Thai teacher, and Chompoo have made me feel at home from day one.

I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to obtain a TEFL certificate with consequently a teacher job.

Cillian is a wonderful tutor. He has the knowledge and the charisma to really train you to be a confident and professional teacher. Paul, Mam and the entire SLS family will make you feel so welcome and will help you with anything you need. A great experience and a brilliant school. I will be keeping in touch with the school as I move forward in my career and will be sure to tell others to come and learn with SLS. The TEFL program is vigorous, well researched and professional. Highly reccomended.

I liked the information included in the SLS TEFL course i.e. steps for presentation and teaching in the class. I especially liked the new vocabulary which was very useful for teaching. There were many tricks to interest students, such as stories or games to manage them and when I did practice at school the TEFL trainer also gave me feedback through videos to see how I was teaching. Moreover, I had experiences in various schools, while practice teaching, where I felt different emotions with students i.e. from teenagers to adult level. And lastly, it was fun.

I enjoyed the course, first, because it did not take as long as the CELTA course I took eight years ago, and second, with only one classmate, I did not have to listen to and critique eleven other candidate’s presentations. Instead I worked with the other candidate taking less time to complete projects and assignments.
It was as I expected it to be, and it brought back some of the techniques I learned before.
If someone asked me about taking the course I would recommend SLS because I found the Instructor, Mr. Cillian Hayes to be a competent and patient teacher.
I cannot say whether anything should be added or subtracted as I thought pretty much everything was relevant to the course.
The certificates look extremely professional and are a nice conclusion to the course.
Not much else to say except keep up the good work!
