Before joining the TESOL course, I was an office worker and had never taught English before. The course helped me gain confidence and learn how to prepare effective lesson plans. The trainer was incredibly supportive, guiding me step by step toward becoming a professional teacher. The staff were also very helpful throughout the program. I’m truly grateful for this course—it gave me the chance to practice teaching, and now I feel confident standing in front of my own class.

I already hold a TEFL certificate, but I’m so glad I decided to take this TESOL course through AVSE — it far exceeded my expectations. The program was engaging, well-structured, and packed with real-world teaching experience that truly elevated my skills and confidence in the classroom.

Instructor Mick was exceptional — knowledgeable, patient, and full of practical insight. He brought every lesson to life with hands-on activities and clear examples that made even complex concepts easy to understand.

The support staff, Mary and Marinda, were also incredible. They were always kind, professional, and quick to assist with anything I needed, creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment.

Even with my prior TEFL training, I learned a ton in this course. The experience I gained here was invaluable, and I now feel even more prepared and inspired to teach English anywhere in the world.

I highly recommend this TESOL program to anyone — whether you’re new to teaching or already certified — it’s an outstanding investment in your professional growth!

have taken English teaching courses in the past, which gives me a good point of comparison. No other course I’ve done is as good as this one!

The materials are very thorough, covering all kinds of topics (all of which I deemed to be necessary). It covers everything from what motivates adults to learn, to how children thrive, to cultural clashes and international exams. They also provide you with lots of resources to use in your future lessons (websites, warm ups, concept check activities). And the fact that they advise you on one particular type of lesson planning makes it all the easier for you, so you don’t waste days planning a single lesson.

While in Vietnam, the support was incredible. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time. The classes I’ve observed proved kids love to learn English with this model in mind. And teaching with such good guidance became a memory I’ll never forget.

I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend this course.

Foreign teachers are increasingly gaining respect across Asia for their vital role in advancing education and fostering development. From introducing innovative teaching methodologies to bridging cultural gaps, their presence has brought meaningful change to classrooms and communities alike. It’s deeply humbling and inspiring to be recognized in Cambodia as Foreign english teacher. Such acknowledgment reminds us that education is a universal language, and when we work together across borders, we build stronger futures for the next generation.

This growing appreciation reaffirms the vital importance of global collaboration in education and inspires us to continue striving for excellence, compassion, and meaningful impact. All credit is due to AVSE-TESOL institution for the outstanding training and coaching the team has provided, which has played a pivotal role in producing high-quality foreign English teachers.

My experience at AVSE-TESOL Cambodia was enriching and eye-opening. Teaching in a new culture is different and more challenging than back home, but the observations and practicals prepared me well. The intensive course is rewarding, and while I didn’t use AVSE for job placement, their guidance and support network are amazing.
