Your trip Itinerary

When you arrive, our in-country team will greet you and the other interns (unless you must complete a quarantine). After the one-week orientation, you’ll travel to your placement area.

When you arrive, you’ll get a full week of cultural orientation.

Our in-depth culture and language orientation takes place in Phnom Penh and is a one-week, comprehensive, active learning, culture, history and language programme.

Workshops and activities include:

· Khmer language lessons
· Cambodian history, culture, geography and society
· Overcoming culture shock
· Cambodian cooking class
· Visit the Killing Fields and museum to learn about Cambodia’s past
· Market trips
· Visit a Buddhist temple to learn about religion in Cambodia

You will have the opportunity to teach in Cambodian language schools as well as private schools.
These two options may have different teaching hours. Language schools, for example, are busiest on Saturday and Sunday. Teachers teach on weekends and then take time off during the week. Private schools typically operate Monday through Friday, so teachers work during the week and are off on weekends. In both schools, you will primarily teach young students, but there are some high school positions available.

 

Congratulations, you did it! Be sure to congratulate yourself on your accomplishment. It’s time to choose whether you want to see more of Cambodia, travel, or teach (or both).

Alyssa

Hello! Alyssa is my name; I’m 22 years old and half German and half French. Hence, not a native English speaker. I began working in sales after completing my education in business. I did, however, recognize that there was still a lot to learn about this universe. Thus, I decided to apply for a TEFL internship in Cambodia, and here I am!

    The TEFL institute have been a great help to me throughout my learning journey. I am delighted to have finished my OFQUAL Diploma through TEFL. Big thanks to Elaine, Laura and Jessica who have helped me along the way and were so quick in responding to any questions I had or advice I needed.

    I was completing the 30 hour course. The team could not have been more helpful throughout the process. I really enjoyed the TEFL course and found it both informative and engaging. The modules were well-structured, and I appreciated the multi-modal delivery of content. I learnt how to adapt to different learner levels, this was particularly useful and gave me the confidence to begin teaching English either online or in person. An area for improvement could be the inclusion of more interactive elements, like live teaching practice or peer feedback sessions. These would help to reinforce learning and provide opportunity to apply content. Overall the course has been a great foundation. The customer service team Lisa Flynn were a pleasure to deal with and provided immediate response. Would highly recommend.

    I participated in the 10 hour TEFL course as part of my journey to becoming a teacher teaching English as a Foreign language. All of my classmates were lovely and I felt included and a sense of belonging during this class. Michelle was my teacher for the class and she was very helpful and supportive! I really enjoyed learning tips about becoming a better teacher and helping students to understand simple language by using miming and images. I presented a PowerPoint for my class using images and the techniques that Michelle taught us and I felt proud of myself for being the teacher for a few minutes! I think that this is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to take a course in teaching Business English or going abroad to teach it in many areas. This course is vast and it enables you to become a teacher within a few months. I am starting my journey with TEFL and I am very happy that I chose to do this course with them! Thank you TEFL and Michelle

    I just completed the TEFL 180 hours Level 5 diploma. It was quite a journey but Laura Graham made my course a smooth journey I managed to finish on time and the TEFL staff was always there to assist when ever I had an enquiry

    I actually enjoyed the course I enrolled in. I was able to finish the 180 hrs course even if I had a full time work. I can access it at my free time and review any lessons anytime. It was more amazing because I never experienced any glitch or errors in the app. I don't remember asking for assistance at all.It was fun learning online, the course was well-structured, detailed, and easy to navigate, with clear and straightforward instructions. The lessons and reference materials were both easy to understand and highly informative. They were very accessible and honestly straightforward. The activities were also very helpful and effective in taking every lesson.I would be happy to take another course with them in the near future.

    I participated in the 10 hour virtual TEFL course hosted by Michelle Benson. I found the course very informative and engaging. Michelle's delivery of the course was precise and exact but she still made it fun.
