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

A highlight was visiting Bali and learning about its culture, nature and history, because I had never been to that part of the world before and so it was super interesting to me. The planned excursions, as well as the trips we made by ourselves were both so exciting. The teaching experience was extremely interesting as well, and I really enjoyed watching the progress my students made in their English level. I also enjoyed meeting all the other interns and making new friends. This was a great experience in terms of the skills I have learned, but also socially and culturally, and even just as a tourist.

I think that GoToCo is an excellent opportunity to travel abroad and broaden your perspective without needing to spend any money. It is fantastic that anyone can experience other cultures no matter their financial situation. I really enjoyed the connections and friendships I made with like-minded people on the programme as well as our wonderful local Balinese hosts and helpers who gave me a unique insight into Balinese culture. I feel that this program has allowed me to make long-lasting connections and friendships as well as helping me understand other cultures and perspectives. It has been a great experience.

My experience with Gotoco has quite literally been life-changing! Right from my flight out of Bristol to spending four weeks in Poland. From exploring Poland by bike, kayaking and swimming in lakes and meeting countless awesome and interesting people. I have truly had the time of my life and made friends for life. A great experience and I cannot recommend this enough to anyone looking for an unforgettable uni summer! The Gotoco team has been completely supportive throughout and the cultural tour around Poland at the end of our program was great fun and well organised.

I would recommend as it is an amazing opportunity to learn a lot about yourself and others. It can offer employable benefits. I would mention that it can be very difficult but definitely worth it - you learn a lot about yourself and gain a lot of confidence.

Gotoco staff are really lovely and helpful. Next time I would just be more aware of how overwhelmed they are and that communication can be a bit slow as a consequence. This encouraged me to be self-sufficient and really put me in the position to develop my confidence resolving problems and my independence.

Gotoco provides a comprehensive service in arranging a meaningful and rich experience abroad. I would have been stuck or more likely completely unable to travel without the help of Gotoco and I think that, especially for participants who would like to build their confidence with travelling, this is a great avenue to do so. Not having to organise the details of travelling, accommodation etc is a big relief and allows for more time and energy to be spent immersing yourself in the area. I spent a whole summer in Thailand and learnt so much, travelled all corners of the country, and had support to try all the activities I wanted to do. It was a great trip

My experience with Gotoco has quite literally been life-changing! Right from my flight out of London to spending two weeks in Thailand and a month each in Cambodia and Bali, my experience has been one that I could've never even dreamt in my wildest dreams. Living with locals, learning new languages, participating in cultural exchange of a magnitude I could never have imagined, and making friends from all corners of the world is only but a fragment of my overall experience. The Gotoco team has been quite supportive throughout and I cannot recommend this programme enough!

Doing a short stay abroad during summer with Gotoco is a fantastic opportunity. You are able to see places that you wouldn't get to usually see, gain experience in an actual classroom by teaching and make some great friends along the way. I was fortunate enough to visit multiple cities in Spain including Granada, Córdoba, Montoro and Madrid as well as a small village in a Spanish national park. I was also able to visit Munich in Germany. The classroom experience was also extremely valuable. I was able to garner an understanding of what it is like to teach different people and build an understanding of different types of lessons and how different lessons work for different people. Also learning how to manage a class and how to teach confidently was very valuable. Overall, I would highly recommend a trip with Gotoco.

My experience in Poland was amazing. GoToCo helped fund my travel costs as well as the 'cultural' tour after 3 weeks of conversational teaching. I met some amazing people from across the globe and made memories I will never forget. The freedom to explore new cities around Poland after the intensive teaching schedule was amazing, an opportunity I am glad for taking! Everything went smoothly during the trip however communication was few and far between during the planning of the trip. Overall I would highly recommend GoToCo and AngloVille to anyone in search of a mini adventure!
