Gotoco Funded Summer TESOL Program to Thailand and Cambodia

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.

Pros
  • Funded
  • Travel opportunity
Cons
  • Can be extremely rural
  • Living conditions can be rough

Enriching and comprehensive

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

Pros
  • Fully funded
  • Helpful and welcoming atmosphere
  • Arranged lots of social activities
Cons
  • Mixed with varying numbers of people
  • Not enough independence in daily routine
  • Sometimes difficult to have things organised due to number of people to accommodate

Amazing Experience

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!

Pros
  • Living with locals and learning their culture
  • Making friends from all over the world
  • Exploring new countries/locations for very cheap
Cons
  • Conditions can be quite rural
  • It was not possible to fulfil the requirements of the TESOL qualification during the trip
  • Living conditions can be a little difficult in some areas

An Amazing Summer Experience

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.

Pros
  • Cultural tour on each programme
  • Valuable classroom experience
  • Make amazing friends
Cons
  • Very intense experience at times - but you do get support

5 Stars

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!

Amazing experience!

My experience was amazing! Personally I really enjoyed staying with host families and learning the Italian lifestyle and culture. I’m so glad I did this opportunity, I made some great memories and met the best people, this experience has definitely helped me make friends for life and provided me with skills that will last a lifetime. I improved my communication skills and learnt valuable traits that will help my teaching career in the future. Overall I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone willing to go and explore the world and kickstart their independence with adventure.

Pros
  • Host Families
  • Skills and experience

Bali gotoco

Awesome 6 weeks spent with Gotoco in Bali, amazing experience and opportunity to travel there. Would highly recommend to any students of young adults willing or wanting to travel but also have the opportunity to meet and relate with young children from a new culture. This is a great way to break down boundaries with different people to learn about their culture and way of life. For me personally it was totally life changing and I will view travel and other cultures in a far more understanding and empathetic manner.

Pros
  • Travel oppurtunity
  • Experience teaching

revealing experience with Gotoco in Bali

Amazing experience, I absolutely do not regret deciding to take the opportunity at the last minute. It was very fulfilling.
Firstly, professionally, by teaching the whole month and by complying with the whole procedure before coming. I learned how to handle a class of thirty students, developing strategies for them not to get bored and remain attentive. Whilst, still helping each one individually depending on their knowledge.
Secondly, personally, by coming five weeks in a country on the other side of the world, getting to know the local population, and many of my peers doing the same program.

Pros
  • fulfilling, learning new things and skills, working whilst having fun, meeting other young people
Cons
  • be ready to adapt yourself to a different environement and leave for a long period of time
