I am very delighted to have the opportunity to take the TEFL course as I can see tremendous improvement in myself.

The TEFL course at CMU was extremely good and very interesting. All the teachers we had were experienced and focused on the practical side of teaching. I learned so much about progressive teaching methods during this long month. We also had the chance to practice teaching in real life environment as we were taken to a kindergarten, a secondary school and to English language classrooms of the University. After getting graduated, it took me only two weeks to get a job in Chiang Mai as schools in the city value a lot that particular degree. So, don´t take an online TEFL course, just go to CMU, meet nice people and get ready for your teaching career !

This program is highly suitable for individuals aspiring to pursue a career as an English teacher. During the input sessions, a structured approach is taken to arrange the lesson plan and guide teaching step by step. In the initial phase, I practice with my classmates, and in the subsequent step, I independently design lesson plans and conduct solo teaching sessions. This hands-on, practical teaching experience has provided me with valuable insights, enhancing both my experience and confidence for my future career. In the practice sessions, we are required to teach university students, young learners, secondary school students, and engage in online teaching. Having completed this course, I am now equipped with the strong confidence to effectively serve students at any level. Furthermore, the lectures in the class and the program coordinators exhibit politeness, patience, kindness, and professionalism in their interactions with students.
