Location- Thailand, cost and soonest date available. Alex responded immediately and telephone when he said he would. Alex and Suzy were on top of all I needed to complete before getting on the plane. Very low pressure and informative. Excellent, informative, useful and interesting training. Organized and fun. Whittney was overly helpful with question from A to Z. Toi was essential for translating and Pat has successfully placed me in a teaching position. A+

MAYA NITZBERG, USA

Dave s ESL caf brought this program in light. I had already made up my to find a teaching job in Korea, but I jumped when I saw the Special Thai-Korean project. ATI offered the best program getting to know Thailand and getting certified to teach English as a second language was more than ideal. I did not have any expectation going into this. Three weeks later, I do not want it to end. I will be taking away so much information and useful practices with me. From the trainer to the material, the location and stepping into a Thai school, everything has been more than great!!! I would do it again.

ANGIE GILMAN, USA

When I decided to teach abroad I spoke to many people who have done it before. Most of them told me it would be best to get certified first. ATI came up in almost every conversation. So I did some research, contacted ATI and became a part of the program. This was an amazing opportunity that I was thankful to be a part of. The people I have met and things I have seen will always be precious to me. Everything I have learned through ATI will be my most valuable tool while educating my students. I have a plan to go Northern China, and I like to teach young people at there.

BRYAN J AGUIAR, USA

It had favorable feedback. The course matched when I would be available. Chiang Mai is a very quiet and beautiful city conducive to this type of training it allowed use space and opportunity to learn and absorb more. Our group was small so the experience was much more intimate and intense than if we had a larger group. Overall, it was an auspicious experience.

JOHNITA JOHNSON, USA

Researched and found good comments about ATI on internet. Lots of recommendations. Everything was good! No complaints what so ever.

Jennifer Collins, Canada I chose to take this project because I won t to teach back home. Also this will allow me to travel as well. With this added experience, I will know for sure whether I want to pursue teaching in Ca

Yvette van der Eijk, UK I like the idea of being able to work in many different countries, so teaching English is a good solution. I also like traveling especially to far-flung places & being able to integrate & spend long time at each place.

Andrew J. Coven, USA

There are several reasons. The first concern is my enjoyment of other cultures, & the way it teaches one the flexible, yet durable characters of the cultures, we were all born into. Secondly, I have not had any experience in East Asia in my life as of yet. I also wanted to further my knowledge of education.

Anderson Clendenin, USA I wanted to get experience in teaching English as a second language. Also I wanted the opportunity to travel and see an exotic location. I love learning languages and want to take that love of another country. Hopefully, this will be a platform to join the Peace Corps.

San Robbins, USA

I wanted to do this project because I believe that actual teaching practice is very important. I have no experience in teaching, and so I can definitely use the practice. I am also very excited to be in Thailand!

Katy Holmes, USA

For practical reason I wanted to teach in the more modern country of Korean and felt that I would be comfortable living there, but I also had a strong interest in the culture and landscape of Thailand. So a chance to spend time in both countries and also become certified as a TESOL teacher fulfilled all my needs and interests.

James Chesser, USA

As a child and through middle school I had the opportunity of living overseas in several foreign countries. I even lived in Seoul, Korea for a few years and always remembered it fondly. When the opportunity came up to go back to Korea in the capacity of a teacher, I was excited to become a part of the project.

Nick Garvin, USA

I wanted to combine my post teaching experience with my passion of travel and cultural diversity. I really enjoy being a positive role model for children and having an impact on their lives. This combination will allow main to gain many rewarding experiences that will make me a better educator.

Andie Vaughn, USA

I decided to do this project because I wanted to not only travel but do something for someone besides myself. I just graduated so I decided now was the best time to do this. I am excited to learn to teach. English is such a useful language, and I m excited to share it!

Liza Gloudemans, USA

I choose to take this project for the personal traveling experiences, as well as the professional knowledge I will gain from this course. I have chosen education for my career and have always felt that ESL methods are important to learn more about as a teacher. I will use these experiences in the future in the classroom to understand students individual differences and needs.

Robert Hunter, UK/ Australia

Given China s increasing prominence on the international scene, I wish to go and teach there in order to learn Mandarin and assess professional opportunities. I also have an interest in Chinese culture and have a desire to impart knowledge to willing students.

Mark Buttweiler, USA

I took this TESOL class in Thailand because I thought it would be a fantastic way to get certified in teaching English while concurrently exploring a new culture. Furthermore learning to teach a foreign language atmosphere should add to my capacity for understanding the difficulties of foreign-language acquisition, especially when there is no common language between teacher and student.

Benjamin Childs, USA

1. I love teaching, but I wanted a new experience.
2. I had no stamps in my passport.
3. My brother was a TESOL teacher.
4. It sounded fun to do the course in a foreign country.

Shirley Brito, USA

I chose to take this project for professional development and also for a change in environment.

Kongngeune Dedphakhoun, Australia

The intriguing part about this project was the fact that I would have an opportunity to go to a different country and experience a different culture lifestyle. It would assist in expanding my horizons.

Elizabeth, USA

I wanted to become certified before staying to teach in Asia, and I prefer learning in a classroom setting rather than online, so when I found this program it has a good fit. I also liked that it helped set us up with a advisor in Korea.

Amanda Payne, USA

I enjoy teaching and I also enjoy foreign culture. I believe this an opportunity to not only have fun and interesting life experiences but also to become more culturally aware and knowledgeable.

Carolyn Eide, USA

I felt that this would be a good idea to help me be a better teacher than going into a classroom blind. I also like living in Bangkok for 3 weeks and then traveling to South Korea to teach. My experience was wonderful. The course exceeds all expectations, my instructor was awesome and the small class size made it an ideal learning environment.

Natalie Walker, USA

They guaranteed a job placement. Also they were one of the few programs that offered a study in one country and placement in another country! I wanted to experience 2 cultures. It was great. I liked where our hotel was, the ATI Staff, the classes & that we got practice live teaching.

Amy Delvin, UK

Found it online and it looked reputable , also researched and found other people saying the same .Thought it was also a good deal- TEFL, accommodation and job all for 950$. I have enjoyed it very much and felt it was perfect being based in Ramkhamhaeng & travelling to Sukhumveet for class. I thought the course content was great and I feel confident about starting my job. I intend to go back on the internet forums where many people were many people were asking about the course and say how good it was.

Mark, USA

I wanted a good TEFL course that would also help me find a job afterwards although ultimately, I found the job on my own. Bangkok was so much more interesting and exciting than I imagined the office was conveniently located and a decent facility. The ATI course and Whitney in particular were fantastic.

Matt Parr, UK

Seemed good value for money, got me out of the UK quickly and allowed me to see somewhere new seemed like a reputable TESOL qualification. Great course! Great location! Great experience!
