Incredible support before, during and after TEFL.

I booked my in person TEFL course through Teachers Friend, I had spent months searching for the perfect programme and person who could assist me in my journey to become a teacher. I knew straight away when I had my first meeting with Georgie that she was the one, and after completing my TEFL I am so thankful I chose her. Even before I left the UK she had helped me with my visa, insurance, phone sim, certifying & legalising my degree in Vietnam, DBS background check, advised me on vaccinations, flights, found me beautiful accommodation and generally supported me throughout, all my worries melted away.

This whole journey has been an enlightening and enriching experience thanks to Georgie, she possesses a rare blend of expertise, passion, and empathy that truly sets her apart from the rest. I think the name Teacher's Friend fits perfect because Georgie genuinely feels like a friend to me, she never gave up on me (even when I had given up on myself) she is warm, compassionate and so easy to talk to. Georgie consistently provided me with support and guidance during moments of distress, whether it was feeling homesick, navigating housing arrangements, job concerns, or simply managing anxious thoughts.

I was awarded a distinction in my training which I 100% could not have achieved without Georgie!
If you are looking for someone to help you with your goal of becoming a teacher, look no further.

Thank you so much Georgie, you are a star.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Half way though the course I had a major freak out, I became overwhelmed and completely doubted my ability to complete the course. Luckily Georgie had faith in me, she was my lifeline! Georgie talked though my worries and anxieties, she gave me the confidence and reassurance to carry on, without her I would have almost certainly given up and gone back home.
Pros
  • Incredible support.
  • A wealth of knowledge and experience.
  • Genuinely one of the kindest people Ive ever met.
Cons
  • Literally none.

Exceptional. Sincere assistance.

Georgie helped demystify what will be an interesting path to a fulfilling teaching position. My situation has some unique elements and Georgie addressed each of them easily, quickly and I felt an easy rapport. I'm hoping to be in a position to take advantage of her positive advice. Thank you, Georgie. Your shared knowledge is a God send in the labyrinth of teaching abroad opportunities.
I am hoping to continue working with Georgie as I go forward investigating opportunities overseas, as a retiree.

Georgie

I was so privileged to have Georgie as my TEFL instructor. She is amazing. It’s not only how well she knows what she’s teaching, it’s the way she can adjust and customize the games and teaching tools for the lesson’s objectives and make the lesson both educational and fun. I learned so much from her. I loved how she put the theory into practice and provided me with a safe space to practice myself and gave a detailed feedback on what went well and what could’ve gone better. I definitely recommend her as an instructor!!!

Look No Further for A Program

While I did not book my course through Teacher's Friend, I so badly wished that I had. Georgie was my teacher and mentor throughout my course, and the amount of support that she offers is uncomparable to what I had with the company I initially booked through. She has been been in SEA for 11 years and knows all the inns and outs of what is needed. Her support doesn't end when your course does and she is always available with any issues even when you start working. There is no other company that I would recommend with as much enthuasiasm as Teacher's Friend!

Georgie: The perfect example of exceptional teaching

As I sit down to reflect on my journey through the TEFL course in Bali, there's one person who shines like a beacon of inspiration in my memories: Georgie. To say that she's an incredible trainer would be an understatement. Georgie isn't just someone who taught me the ropes of teaching English; she became a guiding light, a mentor, and a friend.

From the moment I met Georgie, her dedication to her craft was incredible. She approached every aspect of the course with unwavering commitment, a trait that immediately inspired confidence in me as a trainee. Her hard work was evident in every lesson, every activity, and every word of advice she offered.

What struck me most about Georgie was her genuine passion for teaching. It wasn't just a job for her; it was a calling. This passion infused every session with energy and excitement, making learning not just informative, but downright enjoyable. Georgie's ability to integrate games and fun activities into our training sessions not only made the content more accessible, but also demonstrated her creativity and innovation as an educator.

One of the biggest challenges I faced during the course was learning to teach different age groups. This is where Georgie truly excelled as a trainer. She didn't just provide us with theoretical knowledge; she guided us through practical exercises that prepared us for the diverse classrooms we would encounter in our teaching careers. Her insights and strategies were invaluable, and I emerged from the course feeling confident and equipped to handle any group of students.

But Georgie's impact went beyond just teaching techniques. She mentored us in ways that extended far beyond the classroom. She took the time to understand each trainee's strengths, weaknesses, and individual learning styles, tailoring her guidance to suit our needs. Her personalized approach made me feel seen, valued, and supported every step of the way.

Georgie wasn't just a trainer; she was a source of inspiration and motivation. Her enthusiasm was infectious, her encouragement unwavering, and her belief in our potential unwavering. She didn't just teach us how to be better educators; she showed us what it means to be passionate, compassionate, and dedicated human beings.

In conclusion, I can say with absolute sincerity that Georgie is more than just a trainer; she's a mentor, a role model, and a friend. Her impact on my life and my teaching career is immeasurable, and I will be forever grateful for the time I spent under her guidance. If you're considering embarking on a TEFL journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Georgie as your guide. You won't just learn how to teach; you'll learn how to inspire, motivate, and make a difference in the lives of others.

What was your funniest moment?
Baby we were fireworks, come on let your colors burst!! (sing-along-car-drives)

One of the most memorable and uproarious experiences during our TEFL course in Bali was undoubtedly the car rides with Georgie, our dedicated trainer, as we made our way to various teaching locations like Prama Hotel and local schools. Picture this: JD, Matt, Aoife, Ciara, Tahrene, and Georgie all packed into a car, bursting with energy and anticipation for the day ahead. Our journeys were anything but boring. Instead, they were filled with offbeat conversations, sing-alongs (Katy Perry baby, we are never ever ever getting back together), and bouts of uncontrollable laughter that left our stomachs aching. We delved into discussions about everything under the sun, from food to music to the age-old debate of whether Georgie's hair should be kept together or let loose. These car rides weren't just a means of transportation; they were moments of complete silliness and pure joy that bonded us as a group and added an extra layer of magic to our TEFL experience.
Pros
  • Teaching experience and adventure
  • Opportunities to delve into new cultures and ways of living
  • Enrichment, motivation and inspiration
Cons
  • "The hot weather had me dripping 😂, but hey, that's just me in summer!!!

Georgie! Great mentor and trainer

I really enjoyed completing my TEFL course with the help of Georgie who was a great mentor and trainer. She is very supportive and you are able to build a strong rapport! I would recommend anyone who wants to gain there TEFL qualification to let Georgie be your trainer and guide you to become one. Georgie is super friendly and compassionate person. You won’t regret choosing Georgie. I was able to gain a lot of knowledge, methodology and practice over a short space of time. I feel very capable and confident now to pursue my career as an English teacher!

Amazing Experience

I can't say enough good things about the programme! It was an incredible experience that not only taught me how to be an English teacher, but also immersed us in the vibrant Balinese culture. Georgie, our trainer, was absolutely outstanding.
Her teaching style was engaging, creative, and full of warmth. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had a fulfilling and enjoyable learning journey. Georgie's hard work and kindness truly made this course unforgettable. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to embark on an adventure!

Something I will remember forever!

I can not recommend this course and Georgie enough! She is the perfect trainer and could not be more suited to this job with her knowledge in both teaching, travelling and life experiences. Georgie will help you to become the best teacher you can be with her advice, teaching techniques and genuine care she has for each student to help reach their potential. She will be the first person to celebrate your wins and your high moments with you and also there to support you when you may be finding some aspects challenging by re-assuring you and always giving a hug when needed. Georgie will help you lesson plan, give you feedback on what you are doing well and some things that you can improve on and make you achieve things that you didn't know yourself you could achieve. Georgie will go above and beyond for you as a trainer yes by helping you in every way possible and getting you a job but also as a friend to make this whole experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. I can hand on my heart say if I had any other trainer I would not be here in Bali living my best life.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My experience from home was always working with children from the age of 12 and down. The thought about teaching adults genuinely terrified me. Without even trying it I told myself I wasn't going to be good at it and was not going to be able to do it. After opening up to Georgie about it she re-assured me that everything was going to be fine. I had a think about it and changed my mindset. If you keep it to yourself no one is going to be able to help you. It was something that was scary and challenging for me but definitely gave me more confidence as I over came my fear and biggest worry. By stepping outside your box you not only learn near things but you also grow as a person and become stronger. I really surprised myself that I actually really enjoyed these classes.
