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

It was one of the best summers I have ever had and I myself would love to do it again meaning I would definitely recommend it to someone else aswell . It has increased my confidence and made me aware that I can do more than I thought I could . It also improved my stamina and energy a lot due to all the running around in activities Meeting new people and teaching at the camps . The whole process of teaching and playing games which then built up to the epic trip to Venice was fantastic . The cultural trip to Venice was excellent and being able to share it with people who I met over the past 5 weeks was fantastic and made the whole experience very very enjoyable

My month-long journey to Spain to teach English turned out to be an experience that exceeded all expectations. After a prolonged period of pandemic-induced isolation, this opportunity not only allowed me to reconnect with the world but also acted as a catalyst for international exploration and personal development. This endeavour was a fantastic way to foster international mobility while honing valuable skills.

One of the most remarkable highlights of this adventure was the chance to lead a class of eager learners. It was truly exhilarating to impart knowledge while discussing topics close to my heart. This experience merged passion and language, resulting in an engaging learning atmosphere. Beyond the classroom, delving into Spanish culture was equally enchanting. The exposure to new customs, traditions, and ways of life was an eye-opening journey that broadened my perspectives.

My journey with Gotoco was fabulous! Before we even began our journey the Gotoco team were amazing and answered all of my queries and worries, in a professional and timely manner. As such I can confidently say my experience with the staff was very positive. The overall programme was amazing I had the chance to help some amazing students develop their English and it was wondering seeing them improve from week to week. The opportunity I was given is truly unique and astonishing and I would recommend it anyone who is seeking an adventure!

Gotoco was such an amazing experience and I got to see so much of Poland on the cultural tour! That was definitely my favourite part. There was lots of freedom to explore the places you wanted whilst also having group activities. I would definitely recommend it to someone who loves travelling and wants to meet more like-minded people. It was a great way to travel cheaply whilst getting a qualification alongside it. The staff were so supportive and made the experience run smoothly. I would definitely come back in the future to do another programme.

I was based in Spain for 3 weeks teaching English and it is an experience I would do all over again. I met fascinating people, made new friends, and not only did I have a lot of fun teaching but I also gained and built on skills that I can take with me in my future career. For example, I have gained more confidence; especially in taking the initiative when needed. I would recommend this programme to anyone thinking of becoming a teacher, wanting to travel independently, or if they are wanting to work on career-based skills, as the experience was beneficial in all of these aspects.

We got to do some amazing things and see some amazing places. I had the opportunity to do things I’ve never done before whilst experiencing a totally new culture and environment. We were put in a challenging environment that caused us to grow. We had the support of our cohort and the team were friendly in helping us resolve any issues that arose. It was nice to see the difference you made to the children.

I had an amazing time despite some drawbacks. It really is what you make it and there was so much to be grateful for. I think some difficult circumstances made things tricky at times but ultimately it was a very real, very authentic and amazing experience.

I really enjoyed the break away trip I took during my free time. Our trips to Sapa and Halong Bay were full of amazing activities. The trip we took with the school was an unforgettable experience.

The best summer of my life, surrounded by lovely and supportive people. It gave me the opportunity to learn and develop my language skills but also my teaching, academic and social ones. Every week had new and exciting opportunities and throughout the programme I have now made friends for life and connections that I can use wherever I go within Spain. I’m still in touch with many people and I intend to visit them this year. Furthermore my confidence is greatly improved after this summer and I’ve found my conversational skills are far better even in England than they were before.

Was a good merge of TESOL related activities as well as cultural experiences. I really enjoyed the trip to the hot springs at the end. Other activities where also planned around our teaching schedule which was fab, as we where able to take a break and enjoy the lovely Colombia. The place we stayed at was also very cool and the staff where very friendly. The teachers where also very friendly and enjoyed the integrated aspect of learning Spanish while we where there. Lessons where also offered which was very beneficial
