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.

I really like this course. I'd like to thank the SEETEFL course team for their very professional preparation and attentiveness. The training was well-structured and supportive, which gave me both confidence and practical skills for teaching. A special thank you to Shouvik for his guidance , patience and constant support throughout the course - it made a huge difference in my learning experience. A special thank you to John for his leadership and for creating such a motivating and supportive learning environment. I will definitely recommend this course to others.

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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!

​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. 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! 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.

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

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!

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.

SEETEFL in Chiang Mai was a great choice for my TEFL course. The instructors are experienced teachers who knew exactly how to prepare us for our teaching practice. Through a number of rehearsals they were able to guide us in how to handle the lessons from start to finish, how to deal with various situations, how to prepare our materials, how to communicate with the students, how to manage our time.. They were extremely helpful preparing the lessons step by step with us and discussing any questions and any ideas we had. We got a lot of practical advice and guidance to be able to go to real classes and have the confidence to do a good job. The whole admin and IT team of SEETEFL were also most helpful with all our needs. It was a great experience.

My boyfriend and I decided to change our career paths and become ESL teachers to travel the world. We had little to no teaching experience in the past, but it is safe to say that this course guides you through the exact ways to be a successful teacher. From lesson planning and worksheets, to becoming more comfortable and confident in the classroom, I couldn’t recommend this course enough! I especially loved the knowledgeable, but friendly, instructors and the Thai lessons were a huge bonus! Even after the program finished, you become apart of a community where you are always welcome.This class brought me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow in so many ways. If you are planning on teaching in Thailand, or anywhere in Asia, I highly recommend taking this TEFL course. You wont regret it!
