What makes Paradise TEFL Chiang Mai different?
At Paradise TEFL CHIANG MAI we feel the most necessary attributes for teachers are an ability to engage students, patience with learners and a desire to make learning fun.
Since 2004, Paradise TEFL has successfully placed students in solid employment positions around the globe not only in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, but in many other countries outside of South East Asia such as China, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Japan, South Africa, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Spain, France, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Oman, as well as the USA and Canada.
Much of the time, certain teaching markets are "better fits" for individual graduates due to things like levels of experience, age, gender, financial obligations and types of visas they are eligible to obtain based on the various Departments of Immigration and their ever changing polices and procedures.
There is a shortage of English teachers in Thailand and throughout Asia, and thus a great demand for native English-speaking EFL teachers. By earning your TEFL certificate with us and following our advice in finding jobs, you will be assured of finding work in your new career.

Not your Grandmother's Grammar
Grammar and English Language Acquisition Grammar is a topic which most students of English (Native Speakers or second language learners) dread and long to avoid.
Traditional approaches toward learning English Grammar continually plague not only students, but some would be teachers who feel that they must be experts in English Grammar in order to teach and convey the basics of English successfully.
This is an unfortunate misconception. More and more, educators and linguistic experts are beginning to recognize that the acquisition of whole language is often more successful when students are not overburdened by grammatical structure and rather instead focus on conversational English, which focuses on the skills of listening and speaking (and to a lesser extent reading comprehension.)

“The idea that native speakers are more knowledgeable in terms of their ability to understand English Grammar is a farce,” says PhD Dr. Stephen Gardner.
“As a baby, all Native English speakers learned how to speak by listening to others and then mimicking their sounds and patterns.
The preconception that conversational language teachers must know every possible grammatical term and rule is erroneous, that is why text books and writer’s guides are available as go to references.
Potentially effective and gifted teachers should not shy away from pursuing a career as English language teachers because of this.”
Dr. Stephen professes the importance of a “Practical Approach.” This is not to say that grammar is not at all important, or must not be taught. Rather it is important to remember the goals and objectives of each of your students.
“Unless they are planning on going on to be English Majors, chances are they will not need to remember all the rules of proper syntax and structure, though in some cases it may provide an advantage.”

One of the unique services Paradise TEFL provides is job placement assistance. We work with you to create options and employment opportunities during the practice teaching weeks to help our graduates to find a meaningful and sustainable career.
This is vastly different from many other certification programs in that the focus of the program at Paradise TEFL not only provides you with the academic information and preparation to be a great teacher, but also includes a significant amount of study and focus on resume/CV creation, interviewing and job placement and support.
Many other programs take your money, teach you a bunch of theory then "throw you to the sharks" by suggesting that you begin to look for work by going through a placement agency or going to a variety of expensive job fairs.
