I found Vantage by looking at many websites like this to read the reviews of other people, and because of the very high reviews I decided to apply here. My immediate mail contact with Kevin was excellent, he could answer all my questions and helped me find a place to stay in the area. I started the course in Bangkok in the end of June, and I guess this was still a risky time with Covid because I was the only applicant for this round, which was a bit of a shame because I couldn’t compare and learn from other students, but in the end I got a lot of personal attention which was nice. Chris was an excellent teacher, very patient and helpful, and he gave me the extra courage that I needed when I wasn’t sure being an English teacher was right for me. Because of a Covid case the teaching practice in person got cancelled, and I only had my practice lessons online, but it was nice to see this side of teaching as well, I could get very creative with my presentations and assignments. It is an intense 1 month course, and it’s hard work, but if it’s something you really want to do it really is worth it. At the moment I’m still traveling, not ready to settle down yet. But I know as soon as I’m ready I can contact Kevin and he’s willing to help me with everything then, so their help doesn’t stop when the course ends, they will help you anytime. If you want to study in Bangkok, this is definitely the right choice!
