GOTOCO Experience - Italy

Overall experience was very good. Teaching was a challenging but unique and fun experience. You get to immerse yourself into the local culture which is more exciting than ordinary teaching.

If you're looking to challenge yourself, then this experience is definitely helpful as you step out of your comfort zone by meeting new people. It also a confidence booster as you find yourself travelling independently.

My host families were amazing, I was provided with extremely comfortable accommodation and fed very well. My campmates and camp directors were super friendly, we all got on really well.

Pros
  • Travel the world
  • Meet new people
  • Try amazing food
Cons
  • Lack of communication at times

The Best weeks of my life

I never thought teaching english in china was a possibility for me let alone on a fully funded programme. Gotoco made it possible and have even inspired me into teaching abroad later in life. The scenery is amazing the experiences are unmatched and the people you meet along the way are one of a kind. I have made friends for life and it’s all because of gotoco. The teaching was fun and luckily every child i encountered was eager to learn which made the process easier. It teaches you so much about yourself and it’s going to be hard for me to do better than this summer.

One of a kind!

This has been the most adventure filled summer! I had the opportunity to upskill and explore a place abundant with natural beauty. I made connections and friends with people who I won't forget. I really appriciate that we were able to immerse ourselves in learning about Balinese culture and their language. We had enough free time to organise our own trips.

Overall, this is a great programme to do after graduating or whilst studying. I think doing something like this opens you up for other opportunities and ideas about your future. If you are a keen explorer/adventurer and learner then Gotoco programmes are for you!

Pros
  • Upskilling
  • Expanding perspectives
  • Affordable

Vietnam Summer Gotoco Programme

Gotoco Vietnam was an incredible experience, with the opportunity to travel to a new part of the world; something that without their funding I possibly would not have been able to achieve this summer. It was amazing to be able to meet so many new people, including fellow Gotoco-ers during orientation, as well as new students in schools and locals around the area, as well as staying with an incredible family as part of a homestay. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Vietnam, and regret only chasing a month long programme!

Pros
  • Meeting new people
  • Experiencing a new culture
  • Travel!

Bali summer programme

I just finished the Bali summer programme, it was the most amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone! The volunteering aspect was so much fun, it was great to experience having your own class and so much control over what you could do whilst also having the support and training from the coordinators. The timing of the volunteering also left so much time to explore Bali and all the surrounding islands. I had one of the best summers and did things I will never forget! Thank you gotoco for the best experience that has been so accesible!

Great experience

Gotoco provided an amazing unique experience that is hard to replicate in any other circumstance. Through teaching I academically pushed, culturally enriched and learnt a lot about myself.
I loved meeting so many incredible people who I would consider life long friends because of this program. Gotoco themselves allowed this experience to be possible, their team are helpful and kind and do their best to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. The ability to have the opportunity to gain a TEFL qualification for effectively free is amazing

Pros
  • Meet new people
  • Learn about new culture
  • Learn about yourself
Cons
  • Sometimes lack of communication

GOTOCO Spain TEFL

I had a great time spending a month this summer in Spain. I had never done any kind of teaching before, but I really enjoyed it, and found that I could learn on the job. The camp was a lot of fun, and it was great meeting all the students. Gotoco takes care of all the organisation and places you in a camp, and if you're not sure about your summer plans you can apply last minute. The TEFL online course is super well organised, very clearly laid out and it has taught me a lot about teaching English abroad.

Pros
  • Independence and confidence in travelling abroad and meeting new people
  • A great teaching course, and TEFL qualification for free
  • Minimal organisation on your behalf
Cons
  • At times Gotoco took a while to respond to questions about my placement

Gotoco

It is a great opportunity to travel and explore countries that you might otherwise never visit. To have it fully funded is also an opportunity not to be missed and I met so many wonderful people that are similar with their passion for travel and exploration that I would definitely recommend the program to anyone with a similar love for traveling.
The opportunity to have the cultural tour at the end of the 3 weeks with Angloville was extremely fun and getting to see multiple cities was something I enjoyed thoroughly. I also appreciated that it occurred after the 3 weeks of camp, as we had time to meet locals who would later accompany us or give us recommendations of hidden gems that we should see.
