Program Overview

Experience the real Thailand as a paid teacher at a formal school in Chiang Mai. Participants receive pre-arrival training and four weeks of face-to-face training, which includes six observed teaching practices at local schools and a 30-night stay with breakfast at the Darley Hotel (during the training period). This is followed by a one-semester paid placement at a kindergarten, primary, or secondary school. You choose the school and whether you wish to be placed in or outside Chiang Mai.

Throughout the enrollment process, training, and placement period, interns will be in direct contact with SEE TEFL staff, who will answer questions, coordinate visas/work permits, arrange transport, coordinate accommodation, and communicate directly with the placement school on behalf of the intern.

This program is aimed at enthusiastic and adventurous native speakers with recognized university degrees. It is also ideal for travelers on a gap year, people wanting to take a break from their careers, or people who want to try teaching before committing to a career in the education industry.

Interns receive TEFL certification at the end of the training period before they are placed.

Excellent TEFL course and experience

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.

Great start to a life abroad!

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!

SEE TEFL internship

I did the internship program in september-october 2016. My overall experience was amazing. I left the TEFl course and headed to my placement school feeling confidant to teach in front of a classroom with no prior experience. SEE TEFl really makes an effort for you to understand the PPP method which I found to be a very moldable and basic teaching method. Shouvik, the instructor was outstanding. The facilities top notch and up to date. The only thing I was disappointed about was that you had to pay for your coffee. The two week course was intense, but worth it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INSTITUTION TO ANYONE!
