Amazing program, I highly recommend to anybody considering!

I graduated from SEE TEFL in March 2014. This is an absolutely great course. I formed my foundation of TEFL friends in this building and built my basis of the beginning of my teaching English career. John Quinn is wonderful, personable, and an amazing person to work with. He treats each of his graduates as a friend, and is there to guide you through every step of the way. He has still kept contact with me 2 years later. This course is great! It is hard work, but completely prepares you for teaching English. They help set you up with a job, and provide great resources in Chaing Mai. I thought the practicum portion and hands on experience in the course was a great bonus. I would highly recommend this course to anybody considering getting their TEFL certification! 5 stars!!

Great Experience!!

I had a great experience at SEE TEFL in 2013. This was my first time traveling and living overseas by myself. I had a lot of apprehension about the course and living in Thailand. My first day at SEE TEFL immediately put me at ease. John Quinn gave a great speech about traveling and all his experiences living overseas. From start to finish, SEE TEFL was an amazing experience! I made great friends from all over the world and had a great time learning all the TEFL lessons. They teach great tips on how to be an effective teacher and how to create lessons plans. They also took care of all my visa applications and I never had any issues in the 2.5 years I was living in Thailand. SEE TEFL even takes care of you once you finish the course! They helped me find a great school to teach at and I ended up teaching at this same school the entire time I stayed in Thailand. I'm so glad that I took this course because it helped me discover my love for teaching! I want to give a special thanks to John Quinn who filled at a ridiculous amount of reference forms so that I could land a job as a public school teacher in the USA!

Great school - great time!

I would strongly recommend SEETEFL to anyone thinking of teaching english abroad or in particular Thailand. The school has a very friendly and comfortable feeling to it, and the staff and trainers are all very approachable and helpful. When i started the course, I was unsure of my own ability to teach a class, by the end of the course I was confident and raring to go, now a year later it's second nature!

Great course!

I couldn't be more pleased with this course and the entire month process. I was nervous to get in front of a classroom, but the SEE TEFL team made each participant feel comfortable and have fun while doing it. They were professional and encouraging throughout the whole process. I learned a great deal about teaching as well as Thai culture, and secured a job quickly when I moved to Krabi. I would highly recommend this course to anybody interested in pursuing a teaching career.

memorable experience

Since completing my TEFL i have been teaching at various levels from university to kindergarten both in China and England. I have been able to go into each job with confidence thanks to the knowledge and experience I gained on this course.
Firstly, Chiang Mai is simply a great place to be or live and made this experience all the more memorable.
The course itself was thorough and included grammar tests and analyses of students' work in order to identify and correct their work with a good understanding of all aspects of grammar and language.
The observed teaching practices were crucial in building my confidence as a teacher and what could have been incredibly unnerving experiences were rewarding experiences thanks to the guidance and patience of John and Ling.
I also made some great friends on the course and thanks to Ling's lesson on Thai culture and language lessons it made my time in Thailand itself even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this to anyone thinking of going into TEFL teaching.

Great Course, Very Helpful

I took the SEE TEFL course in Chiang Mai, Thailand in March of 2013. John and Shouvik were great at helping us learn how to plan lessons and teach English to second language learners. Ying's Thai lessons helped give everyone in the course a base of Thai and it was great to learn about Thai culture during the course. The feedback during teaching practice's allowed me to learn from my mistakes and improve my lesson planning and teaching. Ying and John were helpful by hiring myself as well as other people in my course to teach in a Thai school after the course. Very Good people, very good course.

What would you improve about this program?
A little bit more direction when an actual school would be nice.

Questions & Answers

Hello, We only knew a couple people who stayed at Prince Hotel. They liked it fine. Pretty fair priced accommodation. I think the people who stayed there could walk, but mostly took Songtaews to beat the rain (about 20 baht from Prince to SEE which is really reasonable). We stayed at a couple places. The first was Inn Kham which is really close to the SEE TEFL building, but not a lot to do around...
