Travel to Bangkok airport (BKK) where you will take a short taxi ride to your orientation hotel.

Your orientation 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.

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.

    Right after my enrollment in the TEFL (180 hours) certificate, the customer service representative contacted me to inquire whether I had managed to obtain the desired information. After listening to my career goals she suggested a better alternative than my initial program choice. The online access procedure, as well as the material, and the assistance provided were up to the expected standards. Let's put it this way:"They do what they say they will, and this in a very professional manner". I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to follow this path.

    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!
