Amazing Experience

I randomly discovered International TEFL back in 2015. I was in my second year at UIC and was walking around the Lakeview neighborhood and stumbled upon it. I walked in and got a brochure. I want to say that the people working there were helpful and nice. Many had experiences teaching abroad. It really inspired me. The idea to teach abroad stuck with me for the next few years while getting my degree. When I graduated in 2018, I knew I wanted to finally move abroad. But I didn't know where or how. That's when I reached out to Intl TEFL again and was set up with an advisor. She was helpful and informative. She helped me pick a country that suits me best. In January 2019, I signed up to take the class. By that November, I was living and teaching in South Korea! I was very nervous but felt prepared thanks to the class. I also had a salary advantage with a TEFL certificate. I am still in South Korea and have had the best experiences of my life here. As a history major, I am happy I get to visit many historical sites in my free time. I love to travel around the country. I hope soon, because covid restrictions are mostly over, that I can travel around Asia. I am very grateful for my experience with this company.
