SLS TEFL - For Teachers Traveling to Thailand or Asia

I took a TEFL course at SLS in August of 2024 and had a great experience. I had already earned my TEFL certification back in 2019 but hadn’t actually taught so I figured that I would take a refresher course at SLS and I am happy that I did because I learned a lot. The staff has been beyond helpful from start to finish, the course contained very useful information that will help me in my career and the portion of the course where we teach at a local school provided me with invaluable experience. I couldn’t be happier with attending SLS and highly recommend this school to everyone!

A very enjoyable overall experience. I was sad when it had finished. Having the experience to teach in a school was particularly good & very rewarding. My only criticism was I wish there was more. Books & stationary was provided with excellent teaching from qualified staff.

I did the TEFL course in September 2023. It was quite intense, a lot of useful information. The trainer Cillian is the best person for this role who could not only follow the syllabus but also add lots of constructive criticism and shared his rich experience. Especially when we talked about bad behavior of the students he could show a lot of examples from his practice and it was priceless. I was slightly confused why we had school practice very soon after the course started, but later I understood that it was good not only to learn everything and then practice, but also reflect on our practice later, when we had something specific to illustrate and to discuss during the following lessons. I wish I had done this course before I actually had my first school job (7 years ago), it would have helped me a lot. What surprised me most was that tests were open questioned. I was expecting multiple choice but I had to write all that I have in my head. I think it’s quite fair and need to stay like this to keep the level of the teachers high. Thank you all the team for your welcoming and warm attitude to every student and readiness to help at any part of the day!
