TEFL Thailand

I chose TEFL Institute after researching providers online, they had come highly recommended, and I can see why! The experience has been life changing and I can't recommend them enough. Before I even signed up I was receiving support from the team, they answered all of my many questions about the program.

The 120-hour course itself is well-structured and covers the core foundations needed for teaching including, lesson planning, classroom management, teaching methodologies and student engagement. It’s self-paced, which made it easy to complete alongside my daily life. As someone new to teaching, the lesson planning and video links were particularly useful in helping me feel prepared for the classroom. While it is theory-based, it gives a very solid grounding for first-time teachers and helped me feel more confident before starting work abroad.

From Ireland to Thailand I was provided with excellent job support including documentation preparation and in-country support. This helped keep the process stress-free, especially as a first-time teacher in Thailand. Everything was very well organised, particularly when landing in Thailand, orientation, travel details, documentation and visa prep work went very smoothly.

I taught M1 and M2 students in a small city in NorthEast Thailand, it truly was a life changing experience. The locals were very welcoming and I made lifelong friendships with other teachers. I am so grateful to the internship program, I have learned so much about myself as a teacher, a traveller and the impacts I can make abroad.

Overall, I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a flexible and structured entry into teaching abroad. Again, the support of the team was reliable and dependable, I couldn't recommend them enough. Special thanks to Olivia, Lisa and Walter for their support throughout the process.
