Very happy with my experience at SEE TEFL

June 26, 2025by: MadisonProgram: TEFL Certification and Teaching English in Thailand

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
