Sean

Hey everyone, I’m Sean. I am 26 years old and from Lismore in county Waterford, Ireland.  I worked in healthcare in Cork before beginning TEFL. However, I had always wanted to teach. I decided to go into teaching for a longer time in Thailand after doing volunteer work in Vietnam and Kenya. This was the ideal chance with The TEFL Institute after viewing the possibility of doing the voluntary Thailand internship.

    One of the tasks of volunteer teachers is to create and deliver games and activities for the students that help improve their English and pronunciation. Oftentimes, learning will take place in a traditional Thai public school classroom. Typical class sizes are around 30-35 students. However, occasionally, learning will occur in a camp-like setting, either in a common area of the school (often outside) or in an off-site location.

    Work Schedule

    Work Schedule

    As an intern, you will volunteer from approximately 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday each week. You will have free weekends and Thai public holidays to explore the towns and beaches. Depending on the school’s needs, you will teach kindergarten and/or primary school students.

    Michelle Benson is a fantastic teacher who makes learning fun, informative and practical. I would highly recommend Michelle's courses to anyone thinking of attaining TEFL certification.

    A few months ago with TEFL Ireland I was fortunate enough to take part in a 10 Hour Virtual TEFL course. The course instructor, Michelle, who has many years expierence in teaching English, was really engaging and helpful in demonstarting the core tenets of teaching English as a foreign language. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to gain experience in TEFL.

    Started the program in early 2024. As a previous educator, I was not sure what to expect from this on-line course, although have taken many in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how well structured the content and information was presented through each of the modules. Although each module has a fair bit of information, there was great examples and learning activities to assist in retaining the information. Within the first week, I received an email from a student advisor, in case I needed any assistance throughout the course. Lastly, there is a lot of web links to resource material which will be helpful going forward.

    I recently completed an assessment of my English level on their website as I have been looking around for TEFL courses to do for a while now. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call and an email the following day from Elaine Lenane, the TEFL & Travel specialist, with information and guidance about the course. It looks like I have made the right choice!

    Updated review 12th March 2024: I have just completed the Level 5 TEFL 180 hour diploma, and I am absolutely delighted with my experience at TEFL Ireland. The academic team are extremely professional and supportive. From start to finish Rachel Hammond was an excellent support, and provided expert guidance throughout the 6 month period. Also Laura from the academic team, has also been an absolutely brilliant support answering all the tricky questions I had, and she was always there on Discord chat with kind words of encouragement. This experience has really made me want to stay in touch with the TEFL community. I have nothing but positive words to say about them.Feedback for Michelle in September 2023:I just finished the 10 hour Virtual TEFL course tonight. It was brilliant from start to finish. Michelle Benson is an excellent presenter and teacher. She really engaged us and put us at ease, and she spent time answering our questions. As I only started TEFL at the start of September , I noticed as well that she explained the complicated verb tenses in English really well. It was very inspiring to listen to her, and I loved the way she explained the different parts of teaching. I'm so happy I've started this course. The 10 hour virtual course makes you feel much more enthusiastic too. Michelle has the magic!
