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

Becca - Taking the TESOL/TEFL training course with Dr. Stephen at ParadiseTEFL has made a tremendous difference in my stay here in Thailand.  I learned very valuable information about life in Thailand and practical teaching tools for immediate application in the classroom.  One of the things I appreciated the most about the course, besides Stephen's down-to-earth and kind manner, is the tailor-made curriculum.  What I mean is Stephen highlighted the most important aspects of his TESOL/TEFL course according to my prior experience and needs.  No wasting precious time!  Everything I learned was interesting, practical and meaningful.  I know this because I have just completed a semester of teaching in the northeast, where I put what I learned to the test.  Teaching in Thailand can come as a shocking experience if one is not prepared.  Stephen prepared me for the ridiculously large class sizes, the communication within the school system, the levels of English training to expect, and, most importantly, the best way to reach the students, get them engaged in learning and manage the classroom.  I have had no major discipline problems all semester, and I teach twenty-five classes of 45 students each and several age groups.  I believe Stephen's sound advice was significant for my survival and success.  I have had a very worthwhile and enjoyable teaching experience, grateful for what I learned from Stephen prior to jumping in.
