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

I had the most amazing time being based in the heart of Phuket. The beautiful scenery and opportunity to immerse myself in the culture of Thailand enabled me to develop a true sense of independence and to open myself up to meet many new people. The teaching experience was also incredible, the school and students were beautiful. Although naturally moving to a new country on your own for over a month is very challenging, the number of skills I gained from it was unsurmountable. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a personal and skills-based challenge.

Incredible opportunity for people looking to travel and try interesting/different career path. Would recommend as you meet a lot of cool people, learn new things and immerse yourself into a very unique and far culture. Moreover, you get to complete a TESOL/TEFL certificate (depending on the programme you are in) which is helpful in tutoring roles or any other kind of teaching related jobs. It is funded by government and a lot of students participate. Awesome opportunity to see far end of the world without spending much money. Do it while you can - you wont regret it.

Seriously, if you are one of those people who can't sit still on your ass, sign up! Gotoco will take care of all of your free time. They will make u busy with making new friends, trying new food and drinks and going to places. If they don't, they will tell you where to go during your free time. I would definitely try to go to different countries with gotoco again! My favourite trip was Tatacoa Desert where u can get lost in labyrinth of dry canyons. Amazing weather and little bit different food than in the rest of Colombia

Such a great opportunity at an accessible price for people who would not be able to afford something like this otherwise. It was a great experience of learning to teach whilst also travelling and making new friends. I was lucky enough to teach only 30 minutes away from Chiangmai where I would stay for 4 weeks. Gotoco were only a WhatsApp message anyway whenever I needed them and the host was very welcoming. They organised many day trips throughout my time there such as temple visits and trips to markets and local towns. All around a great experience.

I adored travelling to the many temples around Ubud and engaging in cultural exchanges with local teachers and residents. Travelling to North Bali to swim with dolphins, and to the west of the island to engage in turtle conservation was also really special.
The highlights of the experience for me were being able to teach such impressive and enthusiastic children. Having the space and time to travel around Bali on weekends was also extremely fascinating.
I loved the local programme; it enabled me to gain lots of experience in teaching, the freedom to travel to so many places and see so many things that I would otherwise would have been unable to do.

My Thailand program experience was one of the best experiences of my entire life from all perspectives: people, culture, trips, food and friendships. Working with kids made me realise how much I love working in such environments.
I've experienced plenty of enjoyable moments, but most of them were caused by the random friendships that I made, seeing the happiness on the kids' faces whenever we entered the class and the beach days after school as I was teaching in Phuket.
I've learned a lot about myself, and it helped me improve my organizational and time management skills. Moreover, I've learned how to deal with difficult circumstances and made me build a stronger version of myself.

I really love Gotoco.
What is a better holiday than a funded holiday. You will get to know new culture and be able to immerse with local communities, learn a lot of things, eat amazing food and meet people. Constant support and great organisation are just impressive.
I did program in Colombia and I was blown away by how my expectations were crushed. In a good way that left good and unforgettable experience that I needed and loved and I will be taking about these experience for a long time.
I loved the adventure and would love to join in future again.

I found GoToCo through my university freshers fair, and had no idea what to expect. Whilst I know that different trips differ quite significantly (be mindful if you are doing an intense summer camp, for example, for your shift hours) I had a fantastic time in Bali. We were assigned a class for five weeks, teaching English in an after-school club setting for two hours Monday-Friday. For the first two weeks I had the support of an English- speaking teaching assistant, and lesson plans were assigned to us on a weekly basis. Outside of this time, we had the weekends and afternoons off to travel and see more of the island. I met some amazing, like-minded people, many of whom (like myself) would not have been able to afford such an experience without the generous funding. Whilst I would definitely check what your teaching hours/ travel opportunity would be depending on your allocated experience, I would 100% recommended the Bali experience to anyone.
