Very informative job coaching seminar, especially for anyone just starting out in TEFL. Emos is an excellent communicator who covered a wide range of topics and answered any questions we had. The slideshow also included useful links to follow up on. Highly recommended for anyone newly qualified.

I used to work in Latvia for 15 years teaching English to young learners, companies and delivering personal sessions. Then I moved to Ireland and was offered a job of EFL teacher in one of the Dublin's language schools. It was a completely new experience since I had to teach adult students of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I found it very interesting and challenging as well. I had to get used to different behaviour, attitude, perception. I was very grateful to my students who taught me a lot of new stuff, shared their culture, traditions, lifestyle. I would say I have a great job being among people, teaching and learning at the same time.

This course is fantastic, just finished mine, the training, support, practical teaching , second to none. Can't thank Willie and his team for all their support, care and feedback. Had never stood up to speak in my previous roles. The confidence and skills you gain are life changing. Highly recommend! Would give it 10 stars!!!!!

I have been feeling a bit lost as far as TEFL job searching is concerned, so it was a huge relief to get all of my questions answered. I learned a lot about online job sites (good vs bad, what to look for, etc) and I feel much more prepared to start applying. Thank you so much !

I experienced an eye-opening job coaching session with Emos. The information that he provided on the job opportunities that are available in various countries, and his personal experiences, were really helpful. I have started my teaching journey already and I look forward to a more rewarding teaching career. Thanks, Emos & Premier TEFL!

I got a morale boost. It was very heartening to hear other people in the same boat as me. And questions were asked that I hadn't thought of. I was surprised there were so few attendees. The presenter (Emos) answered questions ably.

Regarding the online call about finding employment in TEFL, Pretty much perfect, answers were answered to all questions and in detail going above and beyond. if I had to critique, I'd argue the section on how to find the job (e.g. linkedin) was a tad rushed, but still provided highly useful information (Only commented because it's useless if I only say it was good!). Emos was very professional with his explanations and with guidance for how to navigate the online and physical market.
Program: 140-Hour In-Person TEFL: The Classroom Apprenticeship
I recently completed the Destination TEFL course in Siem Reap, and it was a valuable experience that gave me the confidence and practical skills to begin teaching English abroad. The course has a great balance between theory and hands-on practice. The trainer (Willie and Chy) were knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to provide constructive feedback especially with the practicums. One of the most valuable aspects was the opportunity to teach real students, which helped me put what I had learned into practice and build confidence in the classroom. The course covered lesson planning, classroom management, teaching methodology, and adapting lessons for different learner levels. I particularly appreciated the supportive learning environment, where questions were encouraged and feedback was focused on helping each trainee improve. “We celebrate mistakes” is now something I live by. One of the standout aspects of the course was the career support. From interview preparation and CV templates to personalised guidance on structuring my own CV, Willie went above and beyond to help me present myself professionally. His advice and encouragement gave me much more confidence when approaching schools and attending interviews, making the job search feel far less daunting. Beyond the classroom, the course also provided useful guidance on finding teaching opportunities and settling into life in Cambodia, making the transition into teaching abroad feel much less overwhelming. I would highly recommend Destination TEFL to anyone looking for a practical TEFL course with experienced trainers, plenty of teaching practice, excellent career support, and a genuinely supportive atmosphere. It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience that has prepared me well for the next step in my teaching career.
Program: 140-Hour In-Person TEFL: The Classroom Apprenticeship
After completing the 4-week Destination TEFL course, I can honestly say it's an experience I'd recommend to anyone interested in teaching ESL learners abroad. No matter how good an online course is, it simply can't prepare you for real classrooms and real students the way this immersive course does. When I was first deciding what to do, I also considered taking the shorter course to save some money. After speaking with Willie, I decided to invest in the full 4-week programme, and I'm so glad I did. It was worth every cent. The support starts long before you even arrive. Willie is there to answer questions, help you prepare, and make sure you feel ready. During the course, he becomes much more than an instructor. He's a mentor who genuinely wants to see you succeed. He gives honest, constructive feedback that builds your confidence rather than knocks it down. He creates an environment where making mistakes is part of learning, and instead of criticising you for them, he helps you understand them and improve. That approach not only made me a better teacher but also helped me develop the qualities that make a great teacher. The teaching practicums were one of the most valuable parts of the course. Working in local schools gave me a real understanding of different learners, their backgrounds, and the communities they come from. It's an experience you simply can't get from watching videos or reading course material, and I know it will help me when I begin teaching full-time. We also had the opportunity to take a Khmer lesson with Chy, which was an eye-opening experience. Instead of just telling us information, he showed us how powerful interactive activities are in helping students learn. Experiencing a lesson from the student's perspective was something I'll carry with me into my own classroom. Overall, Destination TEFL exceeded my expectations. It gave me practical experience, confidence, lifelong memories, and the support I needed to begin my teaching journey. If you're debating whether to do the full course, my advice is simple: trust the process and trust the course. You won't regret it.

Thank you Emos for the links and sharing your experiences with us. Your presentation was clear and to the point (slides & speech). You gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions, I never felt rushed and offered your professional opinion/advice to help us navigate our TEFL journey no matter what stage we are at. I look forward to your next session. I am also very grateful to the TEFL Institute for providing these on-going forums which they allow their alumni to attend.

Program: Get That Glow-Up: Recognised, Highly-Respected TEFL Diploma!
My experience with the TEFL Institute of Ireland so far has been excellent. From enrollment and access to the course materials, to having a tutor available as well as scheduled check-ins, the support and overall offering have been fantastic and of an exceptionally high quality. I have also had a few queries, and the customer support from Lisa Flynn has been exemplary, helping to resolve my issues quickly so I could continue enjoying the course. If you are considering taking an online TEFL course, I cannot recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland highly enough.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I ordered a Hard Copy certificate and it took longer than expected to get sent out. I could not get through to anyone on the phone or by email, which I am putting down to COVID Lockdown and the office being closed. As soon as I used the Chat, Kate was very helpful and told me the status of my order straight away. I have given 4 stars purely because contacting them by phone and email was so hard, but the chat feature is excellent, so try that first if you need help.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I’ve just finished the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about signing up. Everything was clearly structured, well planned, and really straightforward to follow. I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but Kate had me, and everyone else on the course, feeling comfortable almost straight away. We started with a few warmers so we could get to know each other, and I honestly think that made it easier for everyone to relax and fully take part in every part of the course. Kate stayed professional throughout, but she also made sure it was enjoyable and never too heavy, so it didn’t feel like being overloaded with information you could not keep up with. I genuinely can’t rate this course highly enough for anyone interested, it is excellent and completely worth doing.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I genuinely cannot recommend the Level 5 Advanced Diploma enough. Everything is explained in a clear, bite sized format, so it is easy to take your time and work through it at whatever pace suits you. On top of that, you come away with loads of resources that you can keep for future lessons or use to dig deeper when you are studying and preparing. I would also suggest the 30 Hour Teaching English Online, the 30 Hour Teaching Young Learners, the 30 Hour Teaching Advanced Grammar, and the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies courses. In the Classroom Methodologies course, Michelle Benson is so kind and straightforward that you finish it feeling like you are genuinely ready to walk into a real classroom. Altogether, these courses have left me feeling fully prepared to teach English to actual students.
