I came to the TEFL certification course with few concerns. I was not 100% sure I needed to even do a TEFL. But as my business is a consultant to the Thai education sector, I sometimes need to supervise teachers for my clients. So I really wanted to know what makes a good t—what they do and how they do it.
After my first day, I knew I was in the right place. Everyone was more than welcoming and we drove straight in the course material. I knew that I made the right decision to get TEFL trained.
Vantage run small class sizes and that meant I got a ton of personal attention—right through the entire course. Vantage goes into a lot of depth with the course material and their lead trainer added a lot of personal insight from his 30+ years in the Thai education sector. He’s an absolutely amazing instructor.
The observed teaching practices were one of the highlights of the course. Vantage say that new teachers are born in the classroom and now I understand way. It’s one thing learning the teaching theory. It’s very different indeed putting it all into action. This is where the knowledge from the course became the teaching skills I can now use as I assess and place new teachers in Thai schools.
I do some private teaching and already my current students have told me they’ve notice a big change in what I’m doing—and they like it! I know have a comprehensive path that I’ve incorporated into my lesson plans. I’ve seen a big jump in my confidence levels..
The whole Vantage team is super helpful. They want to see you succeed. I highly recommend taking the TEFL certification course with Vantage
