TEFL Heaven

I’ve been in recruitment for over five years now. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across both agency and in-house recruitment environments, supporting hiring across APAC, EMEA, LATAM and the US.

As fresh graduate I taught for 4 months in Mama dhai intermediate schoolin 2023.However in 2024 I taught for 8months in private teaching center in my town, currently I teach students in my private teaching class.

Sometimes you are faced with a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Paid Teaching in Japan and Lifetime Placement is one of those opportunities. At first, I was skeptical about the program. The website and overall atmosphere I got from the Job source seemed to me to resemble a scam. After the first interview, I realized I was completely wrong. The interviewer and all other employees were in fact very professional. And within 4 months of a relatively expensive and time-consuming effort, I made it to Japan. All the hard work immediately paid off. The course was fast and easy, although it was thorough. I felt well equipped to be a teacher in Japan after going through all of it. A special benefit to this course specifically was the exposure to real teaching opportunities where we were thrown into language schools or even International Schools and replaced teachers for a lesson. This led me to my placement. I had a couple options for my placement, but the one that sounded the best was a position near Osaka, Japan. The Job itself is fine, I have enjoyed it so far, but the location is amazing. Being on the outside of Osaka just fit me personally and I would have never chosen it before going through with this program. I haven't utilized the lifetime placement but maybe down the road I will and can review that another time. The pay for the jobs offered is very low, especially from a western background. but have no fear, as the cost of living is also significantly lower. I have been truly enjoying this experience and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to make a change in their life for the better.

The TEFL team worked really hard to ensure we knew exactly what was happening at all times and introduced us to Thailand in a very special way. It was not a holiday but a real taste of life in Thailand. A very beautiful Country. I met some amazing people out there and have so many wonderful memories. Teaching in Thailand was amazing. The whole journey has opened my eyes and made me realise how different people live. I was able to experience Thai culture in such a different way, eating new foods, meeting new people, teaching in a Thai school and having a fantastic time. Memories that will stay with me for a long time. I was definitely out of my comfort zone and going alone was quite nerve racking but I wouldn't change it. I would do it all over again!

Lots of unexpected things happen, because this is preparation to work in a foreign country. But the course and the job finding assistance is well organized, and it all fell into place easily. We had a good group, which made the whole experience more fun. Samui is a perfect place to learn, the fun way to do a course. The course prepared us to handle the real-world challenges of teaching English.

Overall the experience was an extremely enjoyable one! Definitely a challenge, no doubt about that, it's not your average holiday. The hours can be intense and the assessment is thorough but the payoff is great. If you have the time management and perseverance the reward will be high. As my first time alone in Europe an intense four week teaching course offered incredible benefits for me individually as I made some great lifelong friends, gained some great experience and had heaps of fun. If you want a change and a challenge from your daily life in a new and exciting city I highly recommend a TEFL course. If you have the funds and drive to support yourself and push your boundaries definitely look into the various locations and opportunities that await you. I could've just been lucky but the group of people I spent my course with made it the experience that it was. Extremely friendly and hilarious, it felt like we had all been friends for years. We are all currently living together and spend most of our time together. The entire course was immensely enjoyable with this lot!

TEFL training is an intense, enjoyable experience. In just 4 weeks teachers will cover every aspect that you will need to become a TEFL teacher. You will leave the course confident in your abilities and ready to handle the challenges and rewards. The TEFL course in Prague gives you a great overview of everything that you will expect in your teaching career. The teachers cover aspects from spelling and grammar to how to get jobs around the world. By the time you leave the course, you feel equipped with new skill sets to handle teaching English. I was nervous and unsure about teaching before I began, but left feeling confident in my abilities. The teachers and leaders within the school are an amazing support system. Whenever you feel like you cannot handle or understand something, there is always someone willing to explain the process again. There are workshops to practice interview skills and clear, honest feedback from teaching practice in order for you to improve as a teacher.

My TEFL course was well organised and I enjoyed it. It was a long and intense month but worth it to meet new friends and gain the TEFL qualification. The TEFL team were responsive to emails and answered all the questions I had about the TEFL course. I met some fun people and this made the TEFL course more enjoyable.

Completing my TEFL certificate through TEFL heaven has been an amazing experience. The program can get a little intense at times but it prepared me, in the best way possible, to teach English as a second language. Overall my experience has been nothing but amazing, great hours, great support and great friends. This program is one of the best things I have ever taken part in, and am so glad that i took and risk and tried it out. The benefits of the TEFL program, include real-world, practical learning and teaching skills. The program also allows sets you up for jobs throughout the city.

The course has been really great - very practical, very useful, an excellent starting point for someone with very little teaching experience to build confidence and start enjoying teaching. I really enjoyed every single day of it - the teachers were great, very professional but also very much fun, the support staff is just super - working very efficiently and going out of their way to make the TESOL students' experience as nice as possible. And most importantly - I got a job even before the training was finished! Highly recommend the course to everyone considering a teach abroad program!

I took a lot from my experience of teaching in Thailand and living within a very Thai cultured environment. I learnt a lot about myself over the weeks and met some very special people who will stay with me forever. Its not for the faint hearted and you have to be truly in it to take every grain you can from the adventure. You get so much more from your time there with something like TEFL heaven, rather than just doing the TEFL training, the time to live with a host family and a school teaching, it is so much more worth it than to do it alone. Thank you TEFL HEAVEN!

The TEFL Heaven textbook guide was excellent for international E.S.L. teachers from all over the world. The staff was very friendly and the program was instructional and entertaining. I recommend the TEFL Heaven Program in Puerto Vallarta to E.S.L. teachers who are between 21-65 years old and who are also interested in Spanish speaking Latin American countries. Mexico is a machist developing third world country and it does not offer benefits of employment and developed infrastructure for professional working women older than 30 years old. TEFL Heaven of Puerto Vallarta used the public relations and services of Vallarta International Academy for trips and excursions to special private beaches in Puerto Vallarta.

Like everyone else - highly recommend TEFL Heaven to all those wishing to take the leap and travel to Thailand to teach! TEFL Heaven is ideal in that it gives you time to get used to a new culture whilst giving you all the resources and confidence needed to enjoy teaching abroad. They are more than happy to help will all enquires and will support you throughout your time in Thailand if needed! Out of all the other TEFL courses you hear about from your travels - TEFL Heaven seem to have it spot on! Apply now!!

Overall, I loved this course. I loved learning how to teach ESL and I loved the people that I did it with. I highly recommend coming down to Mexico if you need a change of pace. This is where you are going to find it. The team are amazing. They work around the clock to make sure that you have everything you need. They are also sure that you get placed in the best possible location that meets your wants and needs. They provide housing with other trainees, which allows you to become close. Overall, good benefits. This course is A LOT of fun. Puerto Vallarta is an amazing town, and I have decided to stay here to teach. The course gives you a free walking tour of the town, which was informative and fun, and also shows you the best beaches to head to on your breaks. The people are great and I've made some wonderful friends. The course itself is entertaining. The instructors are all friendly and enthusiastic about what they are doing, which is reflected in the course.

Doing my TEFL certification in Vietnam is something I would do again without hesitation. It has opened up my horizons after years of working in an office and a culture that is fascinating and beautiful. I now have the travel bug and would love to teach English in as many countries as I can! I was able to secure a job a week after my course ended in one of the best language schools in Ho Chi Minh City and this was down to the skills and experience I obtained on my TEFL course. I had never taught before let alone teach in a foreign country but now I work 20 hours a week and am able to save more than I ever did in the UK because of the low cost of living here. It wasn't easy for me to adjust to a different way of life but it has been completely worth it and I am now planning on staying here longer than I originally planned. So if you are wondering whether you should do it then all I can say is 'DO IT!' You won't regret it.

Tefl heaven is a great experience with the right blend of teaching experience and enjoyment, perfect for an introduction to teaching in a different country. I enjoyed every moment of time with tefl heaven. It was a great intro to tefl and was so much fun. I enjoyed teaching so much im planning to move to Thailand in july 2014 to take a 120hr Tefl and hopefully find work teaching. It was the 6 weeks with tefl heaven that has given me the confidence to try teaching on a more permenant basis. Tefl heaven gives you the tools and confidence to go and teach English to young learners in Thai schools. It also gives you an oppotunity to sample the good things thailand has to offer such as great food, vibrante cities and beautiful beaches.

Puerto Vallarta is a very safe city and, while it is expensive compared to many parts of Mexico, it is very inexpensive compared to places like the United States and Western Europe. The course in PV is taught by a very experienced TEFL instructor (roughly a decade and a half experience all over the world, from Thailand to Great Britain) who learned English as an adult (he is originally from Spain). In addition, the TEFL course has ten hours of practical experience in classrooms (currently at a mixture of both the language center itself and nearby schools) so students can get a good indication of what it will be like to teach in a real situation. The price for food and most everything else is very inexpensive. The school is very centrally-located in the city (at least the parts students are likely to visit).

TEFL is life-changing, a person is only some of their destiny without it, who wants to be half-half? TEFL is meant for those who enjoy life and all it's challenges, for those who love hard and embrace empowerment for a true enrichment, TEFL is the answer, welcome to the real world.

I know it sounds cheesy but this course really did change my life. I discovered a side of me that I didn't even know existed and I went on to teach age groups that both surprised and delighted me. I learnt skills, songs, games and skills that enable me to do my job now on a daily basis. I love teaching and I would highly recommend anyone to try it. They absolutely won't look back. I absolutely loved the course. It was relaxed enough to learn lots of new things without really realising it. It was thorough and covered everything - a grammar refresher, to lesson planning, HOW to teach, confidence-building skills, blackboard/whiteboard skills, classroom management, games, researching for lessons, CV creation and job searching. We all did multiple teacher practicals which prepared us thoroughly for the real world of teaching. The instructors made themselves available throughout the course for support regarding lesson plans, problems that popped up during teaching practicals or even finding jobs afterwards and of course any problems you experienced on the course itself.

I strongly encourage anyone considering going abroad and teaching to inquire with TEFL Heaven Prague's low cost of living, amenities, healthy English teaching market, and public transportation system (to name but a few!) provides everything you need to have an amazing experience teaching English abroad. It also offers a fantastic platform should you want to teach in other countries or other continents, as many graduates go on to do. Further, teaching English abroad develops you professionally in terms of soft skills, growth in areas such as time management, public speaking, approaching difficult or sensitive situations, empathy, creativity, overall confidence, effective and efficient communication methods, and problem solving just to name a few. It’s an experience few have and many wish for, and it stands out that you have a goal and made that goal reality. I owe so much to TEFL Heaven - signing up and completing the course to earn my TEFL Certification changed my life, and only for the better. I highly recommend this program!
