Vantage TEFL provided me with priceless experience. I’ve learned a great deal about teaching kids and adults as well. This course taught me how to be an effective teacher and how to prepare and shape my lesson planning to the needs of my students. I now feel confident to teach English to students of any level.
The course instructor is very professional and knowledgeable and helped us a lot in achieving the desired level of competency. Furthermore, this course provided us with invaluable opportunity to practice, first at the college where we taught young adults and then also at the primary school, where we were able to experience teaching kids as young as 6 years old.
Apart from being an excellent starting point for those wishing to become English teachers, the course also offers a couple of classes of Thai language and culture classes, which are a must for those who want to teach in Thailand. It gave us a good base to start to understand some Thai, and gave us some important information on Thai culture.
In addition, the course has their own dedicated jobs coach. This man has taught us how to create an exceptional resume and cover letter, which is a skill that everybody must have in order to get any kind of job, especially in Thailand and especially in a competitive, busy teaching industry of nowadays.
Taking this course was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Thanks Vantage.
