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

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!

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

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.

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.

A great experience and one that will never be forgotten. A well organised program, providing the teachers with accommodation, food, and flights to say a thank you for teaching the children. The children are very grateful and respectful to the teachers as they are very thankful for the teachers voluntary attendance. There is a lot of freedom on the placement, we had a week off half way through the program where we could go to different islands in Indonesia, this gives a travelling opportunity. There is a lot of support given as we had training for two weeks prior to teaching in the classrooms.

As someone who hasn’t travelled much prior, let alone alone, going away to teach alone was quite daunting.

However, Gotoco made it so much easier and provided me with the life changing opportunity to gain valuable experience teaching and living abroad.

Moreover, I made so many new friends from all over the world whilst on my dual programme in Italy and Poland, and the cultural tour afterwards allowed me to see so much of Warsaw and Krakow in such a short time. I would highly recommend taking part in the programme to anyone interested!

It was an amazing experience that helped me rejuvenate and experience rince some many different new things, good and bad. Where I got to learn a low about independence, as well as being someone who people look up to.I enjoyed learning how to wood carve as well as balinese water painting. I think it was very interesting and a new experience. I also enjoyed the cultural lesson at the beginning of the program.It has helped me gain some teaching experience, as well as witnessing how others teach and understand the key factors that are required when teaching any age group. Also, learning a different language ugae and about a different culture

I had such a fantastic 3 months in Guatemala! I think the programme is a great gateway into travel for first timers, especially those who don't have a lot of money. You will experience real cultural immersion and as a result of that, learn and take on board things you never even had to think about before. We learned about permaculture, about Mayan culture, took Spanish lessons, worked on local farms and more! Some of my favourite memories were being able to work and learn together as a team, and becoming close with my host family, who I still keep in contact with today. I made amazing friends and connections, and learned so much about Guatemalan culture and permaculture. This programme was also my gateway into being able to speak Spanish which I am entirely grateful for. It was my first time abroad without family and it was the most amazing adventure! I would recommend this programme to anyone looking to try something different and broaden their perspective.
