Free Short-stay TEFL Placement (Colombia, Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Europe)

I think is a progressive learning opportunity, this regards the ability to enhance CV, meet new people and evolve as a teacher which is what you are there to do!
It looks like an option experience but I am sure it will be amazing. I was personally doubtful about the program but once you understand what that is about is actually very engaging and enjoyable. Meeting new people and colleagues that you will remember for the rest of your life! The staff is very collaborative and they will help at each step of your path.

The GoToCo program in Colombia was a fantastic and incredibly self-fufiling experience. Right from the very start it was very organised and full of great, challenging and eye opening experiences. Working with local children in different schools, getting immersed into the local culture and organised trips away were the highlight for me. It allows you to really challenge yourself in becoming a more confident person - if you're looking for a program that will test you as a person and grow your self-confidence then I highly recommend GoToCo in Colombia!

The programme is too good to be true! The teaching qualification, bed and board, and flight payments eliminate worries about travel, and allow you to fully immerse yourself in the culture and surroundings in the host country.

Teaching in local schools allowed me to learn so much about the local culture from the students and teachers. I felt like I became part of the community of Colombia, and the language lessons that we received as part of the experience helped to contribute to this.

The experience has overall helped me to appreciate the importance of understanding global cultures in order to broaden your personal perspective in life. It has also showed me that teaching doesn’t have to be as boring as when you were a child!

I feel I left Colombia with a much better grasp on teaching, having gained valuable experience and tools to complete the TESOL qualification. I made friends for life and acquired confidence to seize new opportunities. I felt the Spanish lessons were an important aspect that have left me a more worldly individual.

I loved the programme as a whole, felt the accommodation was top notch and the town a great introduction to life in Colombia. It was a perfect blend of spending time with new English friends and meeting Colombians to practice Spanish and immerse ourselves in daily life.

Overall I had a great experience joining this programme, I would recommend it to any of my friends or graduates who are looking to change things up and explore a new culture after finishing university.

This is a great way to access and experience the true example of a country as you live local with a host and can explore off the beaten track places which are truly more authentic than the usual tourist trails people endeavour when travelling.

Exploring new places, experiencing new cuisines, making friends and networks along the way is something I truly appreciated.

Great experience teaching at a summer camp in Thailand. Intense but rewarding work, where we had a great end of programme trip on an island and some short stays in Bangkok and other cities to break it up. We had the opportunity to explore quite a few different cities and places in Thailand and had a lot of different cultural activities on our days off, some language lessons that I enjoyed and overall a diverse & jam-packed experience. Memories that will last a lifetime, and brilliant that everything was fully funded. Would recommend :)

Gotoco provides you with the opportunity to teach English, gain valuable work experience, immerse yourself in the local culture and travel the world. Their programmes are largely funded through the UK governments Turing Fund as they come with recognised TEFL/TESOL training so there is little to no cost to you. This experience will enable you to meet new life long friends while making a real impact on rural students and getting to see and understand the culture of others.I would and have recommended Gotoco many times, I believe it is a great opportunity for you to get out of your comfort zone.

My programme in Vietnam was an extremely rewarding and fun experience. I was placed in as lively city and was able to travel across the north of Vietnam during my weekends. The programme has definitely benefited me in regards to my personal confidence and ability to navigate a new culture as well as experience what teaching would be like in a foreign country. The mid-programme and end-of-programme trips organised by the company were also amazing and such a good opportunity to develop friendships with other people on the programme!
