Culture Immersion and personal growth abroad
August 09, 2024by: Hafiza Fabia Arooj - PakistanMy experience abroad was a transformative journey of cultural immersion and personal growth. Living in a different country allowed me to embrace a new way of life, meet diverse people, and gain a deeper understanding of global perspectives. I faced challenges that pushed me out of my comfort zone, but these experiences ultimately helped me grow more adaptable, resilient, and open-minded. From navigating new languages to exploring unique traditions, my time abroad enriched my worldview and left a lasting impact on both my personal and professional life.

Too good an experience
March 04, 2021by: OctaviaToo good an experience, I came in without any knowledge of teaching, and learning, and all the other concepts, and I came out as a well-versed English teacher. I will definitely be back for an even better course soon.
Hi Octavia. What a great achievement! That is what we aim for when someone joins the TEFL world is that you feel you have the knowledge to go into the classroom. We look forward to hearing from you again, best of luck for now
It was an interesting and amazing experience
March 04, 2021by: CatroinaIt was an interesting and amazing experience. I have learned a lot, and in the future I will definitely come back to supplement my knowledge with another course.
Hello Catroina. Happy to know you have learned a lot from our courses! That's the main thing. We look forward to hearing from you when you are ready for your next challenge
Enjoyable and rewarding
March 01, 2021by: RyanI felt the course was enjoyable and rewarding, especially the later modules which involved applying knowledge to the classroom.
This was not as easy
February 22, 2021by: MeganThis was not as easy as I first thought it would be but I'm glad for that. I truly feel like I learned the material and have an good understanding to go forward with.
A little disappointed
May 28, 2018by: first time tefl teacherI just discovered that the company I work for in Thailand is undercutting my salary because they used Premier TEFL as a recruiting agency. I would have been paid MORE if they found me on the streets of Bangkok.... sounds fishy to me... I would avoid Media Kids and Premier TEFL.
We would love to have a chat with you and see how we can improve your experience with us - drop an email to [email protected] and we can arrange a call :)
