My boyfriend and I began searching for TEFL courses a few months back. The one that kept springing to mind was Samui TEFL! With its glittering reviews, this was the course for us...and it did not disappoint. In fact, it exceeded our expectations.
I had already done my PGCE in England, but I found that this was extremely useful when doing my TEFL. It really helped me to refresh and use my previous knowledge and experience in a different way. Everything seemed to make sense now! In some ways, the course taught me more in a month than I learnt during my teacher training!
Don't get me wrong, the course is intense and hard work, but the rewards are great. After the first day, my boyfriend especially, was feeling very overwhelmed. However, the amazing support and encouragement that we received from Kathryn, our course instructor, was incredible. She is an amazing teacher, one of those that you'll always remember! By the end of day 2, my boyfriend was fully reassured and back on track.
As well as that, Kathryn and Roseanne are the ultimate TEFL Masters - if you have any questions, they have all the answers. They are also very helpful and friendly, they will assist you in any way that they can, whenever they can.
Another big advantage of this course is that you get to do your teacher pracs in actual Thai schools with actual Thai students. You also teach a wide range of ages, from kindergarten to adults. The practices are extremely useful and have proven to be invaluable when you get a job (as we've found out as we're now working near Krabi)
If you're still unsure about the course because you're nervous, or because you think that with your PGCE, it won't be useful...don't be. You get to live on a beautiful island, make friends for life (missing everyone already), and are taught by the world's best TEFL Masters! What more could you wish for?
Thankyou so much Kathryn and Roseanne for giving us an unforgettable, life changing experience, and for being the awesome individuals that you are :-)
