SLS TEFL 120 Hour Course in Pattaya, Thailand

I have known Paul as parent and friend over the past eight years and have had the privilege of working together in a number of school community projects since. I never thought I would be taking the TEFL course after my retirement to begin with! Paul together with SLS professional and friendly team members, in particular Cillian, course instructor and Khun Mam, school manager have put together a well-planned content that focuses on the approaches to the learning and teaching of English as a foreign language to non-native speakers. A lot of work went into the preparation, daily execution and in particular the 5-day practical teaching experience organized with a local company and a school in week three. Cillian’s constant encouragement, unique approaches and personal styles to instill the core of the course to be applied in different situations are admirable. Both Cillian and Paul chose to focus on individual strengths. They are great at following up on things that matter yet patient enough to allow me to have my space. I am proud of myself for having completed the course and more importantly having acquired the skills that can be put to good use. Thank you sincerely to Paul, Cillian, K Mam, Nong Gai and the lady cleaner along with SLS networks!!! You are the best ;)

I enjoyed that we were able to put our skills to use and gain real experience of the challenges and demands of being a teacher.
Learning the dynamics within a classroom, delivering the contents of the lesson, structure and learning as I go.

I felt fully supported by the team and look forward to the work I have ahead. Special thank you to Cillian and Paul for assessing and giving constructive, encouraging feedback. They’re both very experienced in this field and have a lot to share. They’re both open to feedback and very friendly so if you have any questions you can feel free to ask them. It’s always reassuring to know that they are there as guidance counselors too in a way.

It’s still quite new to me but I hope I can continually grow and improve.

I highly recommend the Salisa Language School to anyone considering taking a TEFL course.

The 4 week course was intense and very challenging at times but Cillian (Hayes), my instructor, is a very experienced teacher and trainer and was always on hand to provide encouragement and any assistance necessary. He was also very flexible with regard to the day to day running of the course.

On the administrative side, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times and Paul (Lambert) is already actively seeking out teaching opportunities for me, only days after completing the course.

I enjoyed the TEFL course very much. It was very informative, I started applying some new teaching techniques straight away. The course gave me the confidence to compose my own lessons for online tutoring. Within one month after I got my certificate, I found a job at a Thai school. The assessors there mentioned that I was fully trained for teaching English.
People who work at SLS are very nice and professional. They help you find a job after graduation. They also offered free preparation for TOEIC which helped me a lot.

I am so thankful to this school and it’s staff. Great support and amazing people. Especially khun Paul. Who has helped me a lot through the process of finding a job. Me looking for a job would really really be hard without their assistance and guide. I was being guided through nearly all the steps and necessary papers. That would have been difficult if done alone. I recommend this school to everyone looking for knowledge, support, different language skills and great place and people.

Thank you again!

Please accept my review following excellent support and knowledge from SLS.
I cannot recommend them enough. After receiving their support finding teaching roles in Thailand I have secured a position! 5* The advice and communication was so helpful and much needed in my quest to gaining a teaching position. Overall I would recommended this company in gaining a professional and quality service which will inevitably lead to growth in your future career.
Many thanks for all your help, expertise and guidance 🙏

The Course surpassed my expectations: excellent teaching, small class, and valuable practice sessions with hands-on feedback.
Our hours were reasonable and the facilities cool and quiet. Many of the class assignments are used as practice teaching and we received evaluation on a permanent basis. This made practice teaching a lot easier.
Other than that many of the classroom management and teaching techniques proved essential knowledge. Also , we received some very practical advice on CV composition and job applications for teaching in Thailand.

The only pont of concern was our paperwork, handouts an organisation everyday. We needed to stay on top of things and plan! The culture course and Thai practice lessons I would have preferred in week 1 but other that : a great course and valuable time investment !

Positive environment and well organized course with practical situations. Everyone is so nice and helpful and I believe I was lucky enough to choose SLS amongst other institutions. In class sessions are so well organized and you learn a lot while having lots of fun and they never hesitate in sharing their wisdom and experiences which is kind of very helpful. I would totally recommend SLS to everyone and I wish all the best to the entire team of SLS. Keep up the good work and stay blessed. Thank you so much for everything.
