It was really valuable to actually have the practice while we were learning the principles of teaching which is like student-centered learning. The vibe was great. The teachers are great. Sean and Richard are very knowledgeable. They've been teaching for a long, long time. That's the other thing about it compared to an online program is you're actually meeting people who can either get you closer to getting you a job or just the value of meeting people, in general, is really valuable. I highly recommend this course to anyone who's looking to pursue a teaching degree or teacher career.

This course provided us with plenty of opportunities plenty of teaching opportunities for teacher practice. We had a group of 24 students and we were teaching them almost every day which was great experience to practice our teaching skills. It was just great being in there having hands-on experience. Just being around the language institute you're around Chinese students Thai students, people from America from Europe so people from all around the world you get to see different perspectives and different views.

I can get a job in the future, I also give the knowledge to the students. There are a lot of strategies in the lessons. The teaching part was easy and it’s good for the student. Mr. Richard, he’s good, he got a lot of experiences and he taught us from his experience not from the book.

This program taught me to be more patient with people who are not native English speakers or just in general. I have become more patient and understanding. The trainers are great and funny and they had a lot of experience. So, I enjoyed it.

What I enjoyed the most about this course was the teaching practice. I also enjoyed teaching to university students, San Pa Tong Anuban, Pratom and Mathayom students. It was really a very good experience and something I really enjoyed. I also really enjoy young learners’ workshops because it kind of gave us a lot of new things we can try with kids and when we actually use it in real life, it was quite fun and it work well and the kids love it.
