Check your Eligibility

Travel to Bangkok airport (BKK) where you will take a short taxi ride to your orientation hotel (unless you need to complete quarantine at an ASQ hotel or Sandbox quarantine for 7 – 10 nights).

Your orientation (whether online or in a hotel – depending on restrictions) will help you to prepare for your exciting new journey in Thailand before you start teaching. After the orientation, you will receive a full onsite induction on arrival will last around 3 days, and take place after you complete any necessary quarantine hotel stay (check current Covid-19 requirements or contact our team for updates).

It’s time to start teaching. You will be mostly teaching learners ranging in age from 5 – 18 years old with mixed English ability. From beginners to more advanced students. You can prepare to teach approx. 25 hours plus some time to plan your lessons following the in-house curriculum.

Your goal as an intern English teacher will be focused mostly on conversational English practice but you might be asked to share some of your knowledge on a different subject from geography to maths, depending on your CV and degree.  You will be given a lot of materials from the school itself but feel free to log in to your TEFL course and create some new ideas and topics.

With weekends off and a great start-up salary to enjoy, you will have a long list of sightseeing and travel plans around Thailand!

Congratulations, well done on the completion of your first teaching placement. Now, you can decide if you’d like to see more of Asia or extend your contract with the school!, travelling or teaching (or both).

The possibilities are endless for you now as a confident and experienced TEFL teacher.

I spent a lot of time looking at both the Thailand and Vietnam  internships. During this time I was in touch with the Tefl Institute and Ola was great for giving me any info I wanted and answering any questions. One thing that hugely drew me to these two internships was the one semester contract they offered with the option to renew if you wanted.

    I've recently finished the 120 Hour Premier TEFL course online. The course itself was easy to understand, it gave many examples of a particular topic discussed. Whenever I didn't understand something, I emailed Aisling and she was very helpful and quick with replying back. The customer service was also fantastic in telling me how to get my course back when I thought I lost it because I didn't extend it. I learned a lot from the course, it was very interesting, although it took longer than I thought it will to complete. I would recommend it for anyone thinking of doing it.

    The 10 hour virtual classroom was a really cool and engaging experience. It was really intriguing meeting people from all over the world, all having the same Tefl dream. The teacher Michelle was really great and motivating, she made the class time fun and it was a great teaching experience watching her teach the class. She has given me many ideas of how to conduct a fun learning experience and what activities work well and are very beneficial to students of all ages and abilities. I highly recommend this course, the practical experience is unbeatable.

    Whilst looking to up skill in my leisure time I found the TEFL Institute. I made a few enquiries and garnered some background information on the institute, what courses were on offer and the positive reviews from past pupils/learners. There’s quite a satisfying menu on offer here. Through a few emails and a couple of phone calls I narrowed it down to what suited my availability in terms of time , my greater interests based on some 30 hour add ons and my budget. Emma and Shauna were of sterling help and professionally well armed to address any concern or query I raised, I’m very grateful for the patience and guidance offered. So, we’ll done folks and thanks!

    I learned a lot form the course which in fact I have started putting it into practice in my classroom. I also appreciate the help of Rachel in assisting me and also emailing me back to make sure my certificate will be delivered to the right address. I also appreciate the fact that she said that I cantell her if I need anything else. That helped me to feel confident that some one cares and values me. Thank you so very much for the experience.
