Fantastic SEETEFL Course: Comprehensive, Supportive, and Prepared Me for Teaching in Chiang Mai
March 10, 2026by: Annabel S.Program: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Really enjoyed my time at SEETEFL. I feel equipped to go into the teaching world in Chiang Mai. I really appreciated meeting all the instructors, it was great to see everyone's different teaching stylesand also appreciated that feedback from the observers was always consistent with the information we were taught in weeks 1 and 2. It made me feel comfortable and prepared going into the OTPs. It was also great to teach in a diverse range of school settings and ages - this is a huge sell for the course. Thank you to Shouvik for his dedication and always being available for questions.

An Excellent TEFL Course: Valuable Learning and Real-World Experience
January 02, 2026by: Jerome L.Program: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Very good TEFL course. I enjoyed it a lot and at the same time, I learned more about this profession and improved my skills. Feedback is really helpful as it mimics the real world experience when you are working with different people with diverse opinions and suggestions that will make you get used to hearing different outputs and adjust easily to the people around you.
Very happy with my experience at SEE TEFL
June 26, 2025by: MadisonProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Skills learned during the 6 OTPs surpassed expectations, especially in simulating the realities of working at Thai schools. I would recommend SEE TEFL to any interested persons without hesitation. Mentors are varied in their experience and teaching styles which was very helpful when observing the implementation of the PPP method. Mentors prioritised confidence building, which was key. The survival Thai lessons with Dr Ying were an added detail that proved extremely helpful. The reassurance of always having access to support post-graduation is perhaps the most helpful resource. Very happy with my experience at SEE TEFL
Course was carefully planned and well-organized
May 12, 2025by: ElifProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Course was carefully planned and well-organized. It definitely helped me to build teaching skills and apply them in class. PPP approach was delivered clearly so any TEFL student can apply them in real-life classes. From the beginning, everybody was supportive and helpful. That helped a lot when adapting to a new environment. I would definitely recommend this programme. It was much more comprehensive than I expected.
The staff at SEE treat you with respect
January 10, 2025by: Shania G.Program: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
I appreciated the time and effort given to each student on an individual basis. The staff at SEE treat you with respect and communicate very effectively what is expected of you and how to complete the course to the best of your ability. They value your time and want to see you succeed and walk with you throughout the whole process and also accommodate your needs.
Overall everything was well organized
May 24, 2024by: Nikita B.Program: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Overall everything was well organized. We had lots of opportunities to practice teaching which helped build my confidence. The trainers are very humble and always ready to help. The staff are very kind to help us with any kind of assistance. I enjoyed the course, had lots of fun and definitely lots of learning.
Amazing experience
April 02, 2024by: JanitaProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for this amazing experience. Each day I grew as a teacher and person. Most of my questions regarding effective teaching are answered. To do a TEFL course has always been one of my dreams and I am really glad that I chose SEE TEFL. Thank you so much.
Feedback was fair and consistent
February 10, 2024by: Mikey CProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Staff was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all material. Staff was also very personable and easy to come to with questions and concerns. Taking the Thai lessons during the course was immensely useful in simulating what the students in EFL classes would be experiencing. It helped me to tie together the things we were being taught and how my students would experience my class. Feedback was fair and consistent throughout all of the OTPs.
SEE Chiang Mai
June 16, 2023by: Mike EdgarProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
I enjoyed the range of schools visited. Great opprtunity to see many different environments. Overall the course has left me confident that I can teach a 3P course. Teacher and overall material very effective. While there may not be time available, I would have liked to learn more about how individual lessons fit into a large semester long learning plan (ie How to build content across lessons).
Overwhelmingly impressed
June 11, 2023by: DTProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
I had concerns regarding the legitimacy of the course, and how I would be made to feel like a qualified teacher after only 4 weeks. Those concerns were fortunately incorrect, as I have been overwhelmingly impressed with every aspect of my SEE TEFL experience - 10/10 would recommend.
My SEE TEFL experience
June 08, 2023by: Courtney S.Program: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
I was extremely nervous about getting up in front of our class to start practicing different components of PPP and even considered dropping the course when I found out we had to do it. However, the way Terry explained to us we are supposed to be nervous and it really can be a terrifying experience at first is what kept me going. Now, I'm so grateful that I overcame my fear of speaking in front of my peers and I owe all that to him!
Great instructors
June 01, 2023by: SeanProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Overall, a great experience, very positive interactions with the instructors. Instructors have great patience with students who don't listen or pay attention. Could have done an introduction of some of the observers to learn about their background before they give us feedback on our lessons. Worth the money I paid for this course.
Wow! What a program
March 30, 2023by: Lauren D'AgostinaProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Wow! What a program. They made us TEACHERS in just 4 weeks! The curriculum is very well-designed and the instructors are fabulous. I feel very prepared to teach in any setting, to any level (after zero prior teaching experience). I've grown so much as a person in the last month and have made lasting friendships. The school is beautiful and very well-maintained. Thank you SEE TEFL for changing my life!!! Oh, and also really enjoyed Ying's Thai lessons.
Happy that I found this program!
March 15, 2023by: Zach LamsonProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
Happy that I found this program! All of the teachers in the program were very helpful and kind. The buildings were clean and all the facilities were working great. Would give it 10/10. Thanks for everything.
Excellent TEFL course and experience
November 19, 2022by: Vincent Yoell - United KingdomProgram: SEE TEFL Internship - Training and Paid Teaching Placement
I enrolled onto SEE TEFL's internship course in 2022 and it gave me the skills, knowledge and practice needed to prepare myself for teaching in Thailand. The course was professionally delivered, and there was a great deal of support offered throughout my training but also during my placement. All the staff were incredibly helpful and they also made the experience fun too. I've not only gained the skills delivered through their training but I've also become much more confident in myself. This is an amazing experience. I highly recommend SEE TEFL.
I enjoyed every day of the course.
November 10, 2022by: Eszter Varnyu - HungaryProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
I did my TEFL course in April 2022 (a few months ago) and I still remember how great it was. The staff is amazing, they helped in every situation, answered all my questions and were there for me throughout the whole month. I am a non-native speaker so I was scared before starting the course, but from day 1 it was super comfortable to be there and I got all the support I needed. Thank you so much for everything! I 100% recommend SEE TEFL
Very happy! Excellent course!
July 20, 2022by: Tony Thompson - United StatesProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
While I have been teaching ESL/EFL informally for years, I wanted to get my certification and begin to do this professionally. After my research I settled on SEE TEFL as the best looking candidate and I was not disappointed! The classes were thorough and gave me a solid foundation to teach from and introduced me to some very effective techniques for teaching EFL, but the best part of the course was the observed teaching practices that gave me hands on experience in the local Thai schools. It was an intense course, but worth all the time, effort, and money I invested to attend. The instructors and staff are amazing people and excellent teachers. I also appreciate the assistance in getting set up to search for jobs and all the leads and advice they have offered. I would highly recommend this school!
SEE Tefl teacher training course
February 13, 2022by: Scott Simon - AustraliaProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand
This is my review of the SEE Tefl course in Chiang Mai. All in all this is a good course. The facilities are good and the training is professional. The school has access to a number of teachers and educators that do a good job of getting you up to speed with teaching English as a foreign language. The school also has access to local schools for onsite teaching work. This is an important part of the course as it allows the trainees to get that hands on experience. The 4 weeks are quite intensive - it is not really a course that you can just cruise through. They also have a guarantee of work in place - I can't speak to this yet as I have only just completed the course, but will update my review accordingly.
Great start to a life abroad!
January 28, 2021by: Joanne Torres - United StatesProgram: SEE TEFL Internship - Training and Paid Teaching Placement
Through SEE TEFL I was able to gain the confidence and experience needed to kick-start my life teaching English abroad. The internship program was challenging but made earning my TEFL certificate very hands-on and self-reflective. It was an amazing and very rewarding experience overall. Thank you SEE TEFL!

Yes! The location, the staff, the course itself, and the brand new building it’s in. It’s really hard for me to find a negative about it. The only thing I’d say is to be ready to work hard. You get out of it what you put in. If you think you’re going to be able to coast through this course, it might not be the place for you.
