only 17,000 Thai baht for certified 4-week TEFL course in CHIANG MAI or trang thailanD

Teaching English as a foreign language is a job that encompasses a wide array of people and personalities; from the serious educator to the adventurous backpacker just looking to make a little money so they can continue their travels. 

The course we offer you is not a traditional academic English course as you would obtain from a university or some of the other traditional TEFL – TESOL schools.

 We believe that it is our job to prepare you for a real teaching job in the real world and not just bury you in an avalanche of facts, grammar rules and strict procedures. 

We develop not only your teaching skills, but also resume writing, interviewing and practical living advice for your chosen teaching destination, that will ensure you enjoy all the aspects of your new home and work environment. 

We rely heavily on observed teaching practices and giving you the positive feedback and encouragement to ensure that you are confident for all aspects of the teaching experience.

A primary focus of our course is to ensure that you have a good job and a job that you want and are interested in by the time you complete our course.  Training and learning can be fun, but the end goal is to make sure you have profitable employment in the city where you desire to live and work.

Our course is very relaxed and personalized to ensure that each student gets exactly what they need to be successful.  Thank you for selecting our training program and welcome to Paradise TEFL!



John - The Paradise TEFL course is geared to those who would like to develop strong teaching skills along with receiving a certificate.  Dr Gardner’s small class size and individualized pacing allows each student to find their own teaching style.  Also, the majority of course work is completed in a real class room with real students, so students are able to try out different teaching skills, and find out what works and what doesn't.
Finally, one of the most important aspects of Dr. Gardner’s program is that he is very helpful in guiding the students through their job search after the completion of the course by, sending leads, directing searches and putting students in touch with his many contacts.
