An excellent TEFL course with high job opportunities

There was so much to learn during my four weeks at Samui TEFL but I believe that the intense training prepares you well for teaching in a Thai school. Sometimes I was planning for two or three lessons as well as revising for tests and job hunting near the end. Organisational skills are very important and the sooner a task is finished the sooner you can move on to the next one.

I taught 8 hour lessons with a partner in a nursery, primary, and adults in an international school. The way a nursery or primary lesson is taught is very different to how adults are taught and this knowledge is very useful in helping you decide which age you would like to teach.

The time during the course went very quickly and before I knew it it was the end of the course. Kathryn is an excellent and very helpful teacher, she will explain things in different ways and many times if needed to ensure that the students understand the concept or topic.

It would have been great to have more teaching experience at a secondary school and at a resort too, however understandably 4 weeks is not a very long time to cover all age groups.

There are laptops and printers on site, however it would be very useful to bring your own, as if you need to do lesson plans in the evening the centre will not be open.

Kathryn and Rosanne also have very good relationships with schools all over Thailand so the chances of you finding a job is very high if you are willing to put in the effort and do well in the practicals and theory side of the course.

Koh Samui is an excellent place to do your course as you are just minutes away from the amazing beaches and there are lots to see and do! It also gives you the opportunity to meet amazing people from all over the world!
