I decided to join this project because I like to travel and to teach. I thought this was a good way to get move teaching experience and a certificate to teach English.
Good experience.

Teaching is a career path that has always interested me. The most influential people in my life have been good teachers. Having travelled in my previous job, having the opportunity to both teach and travel is perfect for my future career and life. TESOL will be ideal for teaching people at all ages English language globally (a very exciting project).

TESOL has a great experience, very positive Trainers were good. TP was great. Now feel confident to teach with good materials.

I plan to teach in different countries in Asia. I believe it is the best way to get to know the country, its people and culture. I am hoping the course will provide me with some useful tips and hints on doing that and give me ideas on how to structure, plan and conduct classes for students of different age groups and level of English.
Great country, thoroughly involved and hope it will open up new windows of opportunities for me.

I read about it on the internet and it seemed an exciting thing to do. My daughter has been teaching in Thailand for three years and loves it here. I taught for 34 years and felt I wanted to make use of my skills and knowledge. I have never thought ESL so felt this course would be very beneficial in giving me methodology. I had hoped to join the project in Phuket as I had not been these and wanted to explore this area but I was ill at that time. Then I thought the course in Bangkok would give me a chance to job search as well.

I spent a year in China and originally planned to go back Post Grad (now) and look for work. Then I got to thinking I might enjoy teaching. Learning was what made me wake up every day. Why not give that to someone? I already Speak Chinese, I’d love to learn some Thai and enjoy Southern Asia for a while. China will still be there. I’m young and excited. Why not?

I’m glad that I took the time to learn the course not only for my future students but also for me. It was a good way to better understand my interactions with other.

I chose to take up this project as I wanted some training in Teaching. I already have a teacher’s degree from India but was not able to take up a formal training. Moreover, I will be staying in Thailand for three years. So taking up this course might help me in getting a teaching job in Thailand.

It was a great experience, especially going to the classrooms and teaching. It gave us all the experience of real teaching and the issues connected to teaching. The feedbacks form peers and the lessons helped us a lot to improve our own style.

Location: (Bangkok is appealing to me)
Competitive pricing: (the price, especially including leasing was a definite positive)
I didn’t read anything negative on the internet about American TESOL, and that a certificate and in class experience would prove it valuable in acquiring and performing at a job, in Thailand or otherwise.

Very positive experience. I feel much more qualified than I did 3 weeks ago. I liked teaching young kids more than I thoughts.

Because I considered it a sensible thing to have the ability to teach English, since I like the language a lot and I am quite good in it. Additionally it’s something I’ve thought about a lot for some years and now seemed like a good time to act on it. I have a number of Thai friends and I come to Thailand very often, and I noticed this course on line and decided to pursue it. The cost/conditions package was very reasonable, and the timing was good.

Very satisfying, well balanced work load, well timed move through all aspects of the course

I recently ended my service in the United States navy. I wanted to spend more time in Thai. After doing a little research I figured this would be my best and most awarding option.
I had a wonderful experience.

Joel Remland
I’ve been teaching in an after school program for many years and hope to use this course as an introduction to classroom teaching .I choose the program particularly because I wanted to stay in Bangkok and this was the most affordable course available. I feel like I have the requisite experience working with children but would like to further my skills as a teacher. I’m also looking forward to living in a new country and experiencing a new culture.

I derived a lot from the course. I now feel prepared to go into the classroom.
As far as administration, there were many last-minute “urgent” requests via email that could have been sent earlier to allow more time to prepare.

Daniel Mladeuovik
I like to travel, for a while I have been thinking how to make some money and travel at the same time. Meeting new people and cultures is also a big challenge for me. This way I will improve to teach English to kids that the language is totally foreign.

This was a great experience us. I consider it as very useful, and perspective.

I expected to get more knowledge on teaching. At the moment, I am teaching English to adult students. However, I don not have much experience in making the class fun. I am also not sure if the ………….. can understand the lessons or if they can use what I teach them in the real life.

Therefore, I took the course with the hope that the course can provide me some teaching technique and useful teaching knowledge and the psychology of students as well.

I felt happy with the course. Even though I’ve got experience in teaching. I learnt many new things and techniques from the course. After the course, I gained more confidence in my teaching.
