Everything is good here. Atmosphere, Environment, Teacher, etc. all are on point. I suggest that people can try this language centre as this is best language centre I have seen. People are kind here and always supportive and helpful for every student who reaches them. I am so glad that I able to study in Cambright Language Centre.

My experience with ISF Argentina was wonderful; great teamwork for an important social cause. Building together for children’s well-being gives life meaning. They are organized, punctual, kind, and fun.

Class is awesome, I have learned so much skills, such as long speech particularly to the Chinese colleagues, I can't forget the great role from the teachers and the advisor to motivating me to improve my learning.

What a lovely review, Marcela! 🥰 It's great to see how much our course has helped you so far. Keep up the good work!

i had a good time learning and have a lot of experience with chinese culture. i love the way and methode of teaching very helpful for a bigginer, they teachers are very kind and wiling to help at anytime, they also help a lot for speaking which i thing is one of the difficult part of learning, homework is been control everyday wich can push the student to learn more without pressure.

If you’re looking to dive into the digital classroom, the International 2-Week "Teaching English Online" Course is a fantastic choice. The asynchronous layout is perfect for a busy schedule, yet it feels surprisingly connected. I loved the flow of reading and replying to classmates’ discussions; it turned the text into a real conversation. The balance of independence and support is spot on. Having the opportunity to meet directly with the professor twice was a huge highlight, providing that personal guidance that’s often missing in online certs. Two specific assignments really stood out: creating my introduction video and the lesson enhancement task. These weren't just "busy work"—they were practical milestones that transformed my nerves into genuine professional pride. I’m walking away feeling completely confident and ready to land my first global student. I honestly can’t wait to keep this momentum going in my next tutoring course.

My current title is Academic director, I have been teaching here in China for 8 years, and the last 6 years have been with SIE. Living in China is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It has been nothing less than an amazing experience. I first lived in Shenzhen for 2 years and then moved to Guangzhou for these 6 years. Shenzhen is a modern metropolis and if you’re interested in a fast-paced city then that is the place for you. Guangzhou is a more historical and culturally fascinating city. It’s still a vibrant city like Shenzhen, but if you are about traditional commodities like food and customs, then Guangzhou is more suitable. I began my teaching journey straight after finishing university. My degree is in English Literature which helped me secure a position at a primary school as a teaching assistant. I was given an abundance of varied responsibilities such as coordinating advanced level programs for higher level students to support with 11+ examinations to establishing and guiding support programs for lower level students. I quickly progressed to teacher status, giving myself plenty of experience in education. I stayed at this school for 5 years until I made the decision to move to China to develop and enhance my teaching career further. When I arrived to China in 2018, I was working for another agency at the time. After 2 years, I was looking for a change. I heard of SIE through friends which recommended it to me and as I valued their opinions, their positive comments were reassuring. I started as an ESL teacher in a middle school for a year. After the initial year and my previous experience, SIE given me the opportunity to become an academic director and to take charge of a new bilingual school in Guangzhou. I have now been at the school for 5 years, helping to build the reputation and maintain high standards within the institute. Being an ESL teacher is the vital foundation needed in order to progress. I was lucky to have quite a few years of experience in different countries to build my teaching experience. I learnt many valuable skills and techniques working in different environments. It’s crucial to have gone through the ESL teacher process to be an effective academic director. It was a natural and smooth transition to become academic director as I just used my existing skillset and applied them to the new role. As academic director, I still teach and develop my teaching skills every day. This is useful when directing the team as I am aware of the teaching environment in the school and can give guidance where needed. Being aware of the workload as an ESL teacher, I was able to adjust my time management to fit in the additional responsibilities that the new role requires. Working in different educational environments has given me experience working with many different people, useful when wanting to effectively lead and guide a team. The institution is new and has a small group of 4 foreign teachers. As the school is expanding and more teachers join the team every year. My main responsibilities include managing the foreign teachers, making sure they are maintaining teaching standards, according to school regulations and protocols, and guiding and advising the team when needed. I am the main point of contact for the school, so I am responsible for relaying information back and forth to the foreign teachers. I also handle any questions the school or teachers may have. I organize lesson observations and give feedback on a monthly basis to ensure school standards are upheld. I also attend meetings and keep up to date on daily school briefings. I coordinate with the school to help promote school demo classes and open days. Also, I work closely with the school’s management team to establish an unique and effective curriculum for the foreign teachers. SIE has given me lots of opportunities teaching in many different educational institutes. SIE gave me a kindergarten summer camp position, ESL teacher position in a public school, teacher training sessions, teacher observations amongst other things. This led myself to gain enough knowledge to be suitable for academic director. SIE saw this and thus gave me the opportunity. I am grateful to SIE for seeing the potential in their employees and giving them the chance to excel and thrive in their field. They have connections with the educational bureau and government entities which help organize teaching events and give valuable guidance. SIE is always willing to provide support when needed. SIE management team is friendly and readily available to help. They are very experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of teaching in China.

Firstly, the course was excellent and got me to where I hoped it would in terms of understanding and a job. I finished this a while back but have been uber busy arranging everything to get my visa stuff sorted out. The staff at TEFL masters were great in providing me with links to the service they use for apostilling, which you can do digitally amazingly! The course was professional and full of tips and the staff were always responsive. For what I paid, I'm still amazed with what I got.

I had a fantastic time at LTL Beijing. Liu Laoshi and Deng Laoshi were fantastic, patient and very friendly. The homestay option was fantastic for immersion - specify your requirements and you will have a great time. Thank you to Linda and the team for sorting me out.

I had a disappointing experience with the placement process. I completed significant preparation, maintained a strong academic record, and obtained medical clearance from my doctor regarding concerns in my medical history. Despite that, I ultimately felt that older documentation and medical-history concerns were weighed more heavily than my actual qualifications, communication skills, and ability to succeed abroad. Communication throughout the process was generally professional, but I left feeling discouraged after investing substantial time and effort into preparing for teaching abroad. From my perspective, the process felt more focused on avoiding potential complications than evaluating applicants holistically as individuals. I understand organizations have policies and screening standards, but I would encourage future applicants to also explore direct-hire opportunities with Japanese schools and companies rather than relying only on placement/recruitment programs.

I really like the Online class in this school. It is a good way to improve and to learn Chinese.It is so immersive that you can really learn and practice the authentic in Chinese work and life. I recommend this course to you.
