TEFL Thailand

I had an amazing experience teaching English in Thailand with the TEFL institute of Ireland! I received a lot of support and guidance from the team which helped the process of moving abroad stress-free, especially because it was my first time living and working in Asia.

I chose the TEFL institute of Ireland because I had heard of the company from a friend and I checked out their website and social media to get more information about the courses on offer. The website had a clear description of the courses. After reading many positive reviews, blog posts on their website and speaking with the course recruiters, I decided that it was my best option. They offer many courses, and I decided to go with the 120-hour TEFL certificate which is the industry standard and allows you to teach anywhere in the world. After completing the course, I decided to apply for the 5-month Thailand internship. I found the course very interesting. It was a great learning experience; the platform is easy to navigate. The course covers a range of topics, from grammar to classroom management. The team are so supportive, and they would answer any questions I had.

The Thailand internship was well organized. I taught M1 and M2 student (ages 12 to 14), in a local city in the northeast. I got to experience authentic Thai culture and lifestyle. The locals were so welcoming, and I made lifelong friends. The cost of living has been affordable, and the salary is more than enough to live comfortably. I am so grateful for the internship program, and I have learned so much about myself on this journey.

I was provided with job support including document preparation and in-country support. It was very clear what was involved in the program, so everything felt well organized, especially when arriving in Thailand, with orientation, travel plans, and visa prep work. I was guided throughout the whole process. The support of the team was reliable, and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to Oliva, Lisa, and Walter for their support throughout the whole process. Even after settling into the school, they would check up on me to see how everything was going and provide any guidance I needed. Overall, I had an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend the TEFL institute of Ireland for those looking to start their English teaching journey!
