Holiday in Cambodia with a Difference

Apr 25, 2019

I loved the fact that this is a course that offers in-country training. If you are serious about TEACHING abroad as opposed to teaching ABROAD, it is the best way to go! It also made the whole transition process less scary and, I believe, helped facilitate it. I could experience the people and the culture, as well as how it feels to teach different grades, before setting foot in an official post, and with the support of like-minded people in the same boat as I was. Training in a group setting was also a motivation for me to keep going and not give up or let it slide. It was super focused and intentional, much better than studying alone online, which I have done once before. There's no comparison.
I also loved that our trainer was passionate about teaching and he really caused us to learn, as opposed to just throwing information at us. The way he taught us superbly modeled the way he was training us to teach! It was also clear that each one of us was more than just a number to him.

I loved the peer teaching practice. It was great to be able to practice what I had learned to do - classroom management, lesson planning, teaching aids - on people who could give me honest, objective feedback and encourage me. Nobody knew me well enough to like or dislike me, so I could take their input and great ideas and put it all to good use!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Teaching practice!! Especially since I was up first for peer teaching practice! But trying to teach a roomful of 3-year-olds... I have never felt so disillusioned about my own abilities before!! Haha!! Interestingly, it served as a huge wake up call to me to be more than prepared and not wing anything, but still be able to think on my feet! So even that was a positive experience and one that I am truly grateful for!

What is your favorite travel memory?

My brother-in-law lives in Bangkok, Thailand, so I have been lucky enough to spend several months travelling around the country, including the Islands to the south of Thailand.

My husband and I spent 3 nights on Ang Thong National Marine Park, which is a very small and virtually uninhabited Island off the coast of Koh Samui. It was absolutely beautiful, with its towering limestone mountains, thick jungle, white-sand beaches, waterfalls and hidden coves and lakes. We stayed in a simple bungalow with no air conditioning or internet, which was challenging, but worth it! One of my best memories is of us eating our breakfast surrounded by the local wildlife every morning, including a group of cheeky monkeys who were always eager to share our meals with us!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have learnt a lot about the world of TEFL since starting this role. Although not a TEFL Heaven alumni myself, I am an avid traveller with a love of working with young people, having previously worked at the University of London and Bristol Students Union.

Since working at TEFL Heaven, I have seen first hand that teaching abroad is an amazing life changing experience and I feel very privileged to be part of that journey. My current role entails conveying that experience to prospective candidates via our website, social media and partner sites. One of the ways I do this is by working closely with our Ambassadors, who are TEFL Heaven alumni living and working in their chosen destinations all over the world.

I have learnt so much about the TEFL experience through working with them; it is so rewarding and inspiring speaking to them each week and finding out their updates!

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

One of our TEFL Heaven alumni, Kailey, told me a story recently about how she came off her motorcycle in the first few weeks of being in Thailand. Feeling quite dazed and confused (and probably a little in shock), she was amazed by the kindness she received from the local Thai people, including passing onlookers and the local shop owner, who all came out to comfort her and attend to her wounds! She was even given a spare pair of shoes to wear home! It just goes to show Thailand really is the land of smiles!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

This is a really tricky question because my heart lies with Thailand, having spent so much time there. Our program is taught on the paradise Island of Koh Chang (which I have been to several times) and it’s by far our most popular choice, so hard to resist! However, because I would want a new experience and to feel a little out of my comfort zone, I would say Mexico!

Having never been to Latin America, I think it would be an amazing to learn more about the local culture, not to mention the food! This would also give me the chance to brush up on my A- level Spanish skills! Hey, it’s never too late to start over! Sign me up (although I think the husband might have something to say about it)... Adios, amigos!!

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

Some of the best feedback I’ve seen is about the level of support and advice we give to our candidates. Their journey is really important to us and we want to make sure we find the best fit for every candidate. We are not in this to make a quick dollar, we understand that this is an important life changing decision for them. The majority of our staff are alumni, so have been there themselves! We go above and beyond to offer the best, most up to date information and resources available to equip our candidates to teach English in their chosen destination.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

We believe in honesty and transparency in all that we do; we always have our customers at the heart of every interaction. We always try and put ourselves in their shoes by offering them all of the information which we would want if we were in their position. We go above and beyond to offer them the very best level of support and service in all that we do.

Cambodia in general is considered an untouched gem for travel. Even though Phnom Penh is the capital and largest city of Cambodia, it is still a bit rough around the edges but has the infrastructure to sustain more travel. While traveling here, make sure to venture outside of the monuments that document the cities troubled past and take in the vibrant and friendly nature.
