I was a TEFL intern in Vietnam for 5 months and it changed my life, both personally and professionally. I was immersed in the culture and community of Vietnamese people in a way that you cannot be while backpacking/travelling, and this experience has opened my eyes to the possibilities available with a certification like this! Tara at TEFL.ie has been so helpful while on this journey! I would definitely recommend this internship.
