TEFL Courses & Certification in Chiang Mai, 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 enrolled onto SEE TEFL's internship course in 2022 and it gave me the skills, knowledge and practice needed to prepare myself for teaching in Thailand. The course was professionally delivered, and there was a great deal of support offered throughout my training but also during my placement. All the staff were incredibly helpful and they also made the experience fun too. I've not only gained the skills delivered through their training but I've also become much more confident in myself. This is an amazing experience. I highly recommend SEE TEFL.

I went to Barcelona for my TEFL class in 2019 because I wanted to tour graduate schools to find the master's program of my dreams. I was nervous about traveling alone internationally for the first time and thought that it would be a waste to be in Spain for over a month with nothing to show for it when my trip came to an end. That's when I decided that getting TEFL certified would be a great way to spend my time in Barcelona between college visits; as a bonus, I could teach English on the side when my program starts. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I nervously excited booked my flight and started my TEFL journey. When I arrived in Barcelona my TEFL advisors had already helped me set up housing with these two lovely girls who welcomed me and gave me tips about the city. One of the girls was even a graduate of ITA. She was so helpful and gave me advice on my coursework and even let me practice some of my skills with her. My TEFL instructors we wonderful people and even better teachers. I learned more in my one-month TEFL program than I did in most of my college courses. After my TEFL course ended I went back home to the States and continued working to save money for my master's program. I moved to Barcelona in 2020 during the middle of the pandemic and because of my TEFL certificate, I was able to teach English online to pay for my rent and other expenses for the next two years. During that time I met my partner who just so happened to also be a TEFL-certified English teacher. We bonded over our teaching experiences, traveling, and the fact that we both taught for the same online English tutoring platform. Currently, we live together and teach in Seoul, South Korea. Since moving here I have paid off half of my student debt from my Master's program and will have the other half paid for by the end of my contract. ITA has allowed me to meet wonderful people, graduate with a Master's, find the love of my life, live and teach in South Korea, and pay off all of my student debt. I will be forever grateful.

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!

I believe I made the correct choice choosing ITT to take my TEFL course with. The course is very informative and there is tutor support when ever it is needed. I enjoyed watching the videos and reading the text and I really feel more confident about teaching English in Thailand,.

The recruiter for TEFL, Joe Yoon was knowledgeable of the program and offered excellent advice. His praise of the program was spot on. The content was everything I was looking for. It was practical, grounded in theory and research, and really left me feeling well-equipped to teach ESL. The material was clearly presented. The TEFL platform is extremely user-friendly. The course has checkboxes that automatically fill in when you have completed certain requirements so you always know where you are and what you still need to do. The instructor for my course, Micah Colbert, was very invested in the course. He communicated effectively, was always very quick to reply to emails and was both professional and approachable in his interactions. It was very evident that he not only knew a lot but was passionate about teaching English. I highly recommend ITA to anyone looking to be equipped as an ESOL/TEFL teacher.
