TEFL support thread

Hello,

Has anyone had any experience with TEFL Heaven (Experience Teaching Abroad Ltd)? I am hoping to go on an internship with them to Thailand this September.

Thanks

hey how much did that cost:?

did you get paid over there:?

The fee is £995 plus some other visa costs. And yes you get paid 25,000 THB (Thail Bhat) a month which is more than enough to live off out there. Just google tefl heaven

Hi there,
So I've already done my TEFL certificate with I-to-I (best choice at the time). I did the 120 hours online as it was easier for me as I didn't have to travel and it was cost effective - though probably not a good reason to have chosen the course. But it was a good course and I managed to finish it during my second year
I'm hoping to do a internship with I-to-I in China as these give you more support (supposedly) and an extra 20 hours with classroom teaching, which I would like to do.
No idea when I'm going to teach abroad though cause I'm not a very confident public speaker, so yeah.

So I know everyone says to avoid Online courses. But what if it's combined?
http://www.tefl.org.uk/courses/tefl-courses-and-fees/130-hour-tefl-course/

This is the breakdown of the 130 hour option:

30-hour Weekday TEFL Course
Learn to plan, prepare and deliver TEFL lessons with lots of fun hands-on activities. Fast-paced, engaging and friendly, you'll spend Monday to Wednesday learning by doing, not by writing!
50-hour Online TEFL Course
Learn about classroom management, teaching styles and advanced TEFL methodology. Study with a personal tutor and meet fellow students on our course forums. Includes mini-modules on business English, young learners and teaching English one-to-one.
30-hour Online Grammar Course
Don't know your second conditional from your modal verbs? This course will teach you all the terminology and rules of English grammar you need to step into a TEFL classroom.
20-hour Online Video Course
Observe real TEFL lessons to see what works (and doesn't) in the classroom! Work with a personal tutor to improve your own lesson plans based on the activities you see in action.

Is that ok? It's £369. I cant afford £1000 at all. But I dont want to waste almost £400 on something that will be useless... I just want to teach in Europe, not really in classrooms but more language exchange. I teach you and your kids English in exchange for accommodation, food and you teaching me your language. I have an A level in English and First Aid as well.
Not confident enough for classroom teaching right now, but hopefully by the end of my Access course and all the presentations I have to do, I will be...then who knows. Want to leave my options open. But mainly want to do a TEFL cos the love of my life is moving back home, and the only way I can be with him (plus fulfilling my lifelong dream of travelling) is to go with him, and a TEFL course seems the best bet for jobs and work out there in Europe.

Hi,
I'm looking at doing a TEFL internship with the organisation LoveTEFL. Has anyone had any experience with them and can confirm they are legit? All the reviews are so positive it almost seems too good to be true!

This sounds very interesting and exciting. I'm just about to start my last year at university and I'm considering something like this afterwards.

What was the cost of the course? And did you get good support from i-to-i online?

What I'm wondering is, if they help you once you are out in say China, or do they just hang you out to dry? I'd like to have a contact back in England who is connected to the school if I went out there.

hey im doing my tefl course with tefl academy but im not sure if its a scam or not. Its 120 hours that includes 20 hours in class and 100 hours online.
