Teaching internship & TEFL Certification (Thailand, Vietnam, Europe, China, India)

My experience with GotoCo was surreal! One of the main reasons I trusted the programme before starting it were the reviews! They were all 5 star and now I can attest to that!

Going on a trip across the world (for the first time for some) can be a little worrying, there are so many factors involved, the language, the medias perception of the country etc.

Travelling with these guys was honestly a life changing experience, and that's coming from someone who has travelled to many countries around the world!

It opened up a new part of the world, the team were so helpful every step of the way. You feel supported and looked after throughout the trip with life long memories!

This is by far one of the best things I have done yet. I loved getting to explore a new country and get to meet lots of new people. I have been able to make some life-long friendships whilst also getting invaluable experience of working abroad as an English teacher. This was such a wholesome and rewarding experience getting to see the small impact you have on your students life and its amazing to see how you develop your teaching skills and become more confident and natural in the classroom. I would recommend this to anyone who has the opportunity to go!

Gotoco gave me the opportunity to travel abroad and work in China as an English teacher for 8 weeks. They provided me with professional support but primarily gave me the chance to undergo an experience that would not have been accessible to me otherwise.

I was placed in a Summer camp in Beijing, where I was able to both experience life as a teacher, while also see as many of the historic sites in Beijing as I could. This was a fantastic experience which has potentially opened up a new career for me, and certainly given me memories I will treasure for life. This was followed up by a 5 day trip to Yangshuo where I was able to relax after an incredible summer.

I had the best 2 months in China on a cultural exchange program, teaching children English and travelling around. I met people who I hope to keep in contact with, and I hope to return again soon. Gotoco was helpful throughout and made me feel supported in such a new and scary experience. I felt supported in China and I know if I had any problems when applying for future jobs, I could go to them for advice or support. The end of program trip arranged by Gotoco was great- we hiked, climbing up and swam in a waterfall and did a cooking class! Thanks Gotoco!

I took part in Gotoco's 2-month programme in Vietnam and it was an amazing experience. It was an incredibly unique opportunity, being able to travel and explore a whole new country while gaining professional experience. The staff were very supportive and helpful throughout my experience as well.

Teaching English was something I was initially nervous about, however, was very enjoyable and helped develop my confidence and communication skills. Additionally, the experience showed how rewarding teaching can be.

If you are someone who likes to try new things, explore the world and want to help kids in rural communities then I highly recommend this opportunity.

I did the 8-week rural Thailand programme and it was an amazing experience. I met so many wonderful people and learnt so many skills that I will take forward. The programme has given me a lot more travel independence and I am so grateful for the opportunity. I was placed in a school in the north of Thailand and it was such a beautiful location. Everyone at the school was so lovely and I had such a positive experience. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to teach and travel and the fully-funded nature of this programme is amazing.

Amazing experience, I would definitely recommend if you are someone who wants to get out of your comfort zone, improve your teaching skills, meet new people and get a true insight into a different culture. I went for two months and managed to also do some travelling in between, going to places such as Chiang mai and sukothai as well as Ko tao after the programme ended. We met lovely people and have made connections with our students and other gotocoers and memories with them that we will hold with us forever.

Amazing, I made friends for life and explored thailand. I did the 6 week project and the total trip was 8 weeks. There is also an orientation week at the start and an end of trip beach holiday at the end. I applied with a friend and they were fine with placing us together. The school was lovely and accommodating as we were given a host who was take good care of us. The host also took us on many weekend trips. The only thing to note is that their team are very slow with communication. Would recommend.
