Awesome TEFL School

Review
I originally scheduled my TEFL course through ITA (International TEFL Academy) and I was surprised when I learned I was being sent to another school called "SEE TEFL", since I figured I'd take a course at an ITA school, and not a partner one.
Regardless, my experience at SEE TEFL was awesome. Teaching English can be quite daunting, but they make it the easiest thing in the world. The classes are full of great info that slowly build your confidence in your abilities, and then they give you a very easy to follow teaching methodology that allows you to add your own nuances in. All of the professors/graders were great, and really helped you once you began teaching in Week 3 and 4. There were opportunities for additional work that gave you a higher certification, and overall I felt as if they really did care about us as new teachers. The staff was very helpful, and I even got a job offer upon graduation at the exact grade-level I was open about wanting to teach.
Chiang Mai, Thailand is one of my new favorite cities to explore. The old-town area is a great slowed-down city that would probably take years to truly know, and as a photographer every alleyway provides some new unique beauty to capture.
This review probably sounds too good to be true, but honestly if you just have an open mind and realize you are, in fact, the foreigner who is presenting this alien language to a classroom of 30+ screaming six year-olds who won't stop staring at your beard, then you'll enjoy as much as I did.
Looking forward to moving back to Chiang Mai and staying in contact with SEE TEFL. Overall, wonderful course and I'd highly recommend!
