Diversity & Inclusion

BIPOC Support

Salisa Language School accepts TEFL trainees and students from any country or region in the world. The main criteria for anyone participating in our course is that the English language is spoken and understood very well. Separately a rule promoted by the authorities in Thailand is that graduated TEFL teachers seeking work there hold a Bachelor-Degree in any field. If TEFL graduate is a non-native English speaker (NNES) they must pass a TOEIC test before being accepted into a position as a TEFL teacher at a Thai school. TEFL graduates from NES countries (Australia, USA, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) are highly sought after and no TOEIC test is required. The Bachelor-Degree, supported by TEFL graduation will, in the main, assist POC and NNES in obtaining TEFL teaching positions in Thailand.

LGBTQIA+ Support

All participants of the Salisa Language School are treated equally.

Neurodivergent Support

Salisa Language School will do its best to support all applicants to the best of its abilities. We work individually with those considering a TEFL course to determine if it is a good fit for them.

A solid preparation course

Cillian is equipped with plenty of experience to share for future English teachers. Due to the Covid situation I had the chance to undergo a one-on-one course with him. It was a very pleasant and insightful course. It made me feel prepared for the job.

The dedicated support by Paul before, during, and after the TEFL course is fantastic. The care to help you reach your goal is heart felt.

Mam, my Thai teacher, and Chompoo have made me feel at home from day one.

I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to obtain a TEFL certificate with consequently a teacher job.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I'm often reluctant to tests and demos. Cillian expressed his understanding and made sure I felt as comfortable and prepared as possible. He was available for questions any time.

SLS 120 hour in class TEFL

Cillian is a wonderful tutor. He has the knowledge and the charisma to really train you to be a confident and professional teacher. Paul, Mam and the entire SLS family will make you feel so welcome and will help you with anything you need. A great experience and a brilliant school. I will be keeping in touch with the school as I move forward in my career and will be sure to tell others to come and learn with SLS. The TEFL program is vigorous, well researched and professional. Highly reccomended.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Delivering my first class was nerve-racking but the support at SLS is brilliant and you always feel confident and equipped with the skills to do well.

Excellent TEFL course

I liked the information included in the SLS TEFL course i.e. steps for presentation and teaching in the class. I especially liked the new vocabulary which was very useful for teaching. There were many tricks to interest students, such as stories or games to manage them and when I did practice at school the TEFL trainer also gave me feedback through videos to see how I was teaching. Moreover, I had experiences in various schools, while practice teaching, where I felt different emotions with students i.e. from teenagers to adult level. And lastly, it was fun.

Best in Pattaya, Thailand

I enjoyed the course, first, because it did not take as long as the CELTA course I took eight years ago, and second, with only one classmate, I did not have to listen to and critique eleven other candidate’s presentations. Instead I worked with the other candidate taking less time to complete projects and assignments.
It was as I expected it to be, and it brought back some of the techniques I learned before.
If someone asked me about taking the course I would recommend SLS because I found the Instructor, Mr. Cillian Hayes to be a competent and patient teacher.
I cannot say whether anything should be added or subtracted as I thought pretty much everything was relevant to the course.
The certificates look extremely professional and are a nice conclusion to the course.
Not much else to say except keep up the good work!

What was your funniest moment?
We had many funny moments at lunch with the TEFL Trainer Cillian. Some great memories.
Also I had some great laughs with the kids while practice teaching.

Passed!

Teaching english wasnt something that i would normally do! But due to covid and me stuck in thailand i looked into it and to tell you the truth i did alot of research online and SLS was the best looking company on the net and they responded very quickly to my email and it was very straight forward. I also had a friend who went with them and he also recommended them and a teacher i know with 15yrs behind him in teacher also told me they look like a very good company and price wise they was also very good so it was SLS. My course was very hard at times but our instructor cillian pushed us hard but he also helped us to relax and did help me after hours.Also missy was very helpful towards me and mam also gave me good advice and little mam and shompoo was also helpful it was like a little family.Now im not the brightest of people but cillian said just keep going and it will all come together and in time it did and to my surprize i not only passed but got a B+ . So i would like to thank you all for putting up with me for 1 month and helping me to pass.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
It had to be my first lesson to teach the tamar girls. I didnt sleep most nights and would wake up 4am some mornings and that saturday i went with cillian and he said it should all be set up and they have ac as it was very hot. Mmm but when we got there nothing was ready it was very hot i was sweating in me shirt and tye and i had to do my board etc and yes the pressure was on! But i took a deep breath told the ladys i need to write the board out as i rememberd cillian told us to let them know! Then i thought ok i can do this and i calmed down and did it and enjoyed it.

SLS TEFL Program

SLS Training Centre in Pattaya offers an exceptional TEFL course that is second to none. The proprietors and staff have a unique relationship, that is caring, friendly and relaxed. This warm, homely atmosphere, combined with a thorough sense of professionalism and attention to detail, are some of the key ingredients that have enhanced SLS as the Premier TEFL Provider in Thailand.
From the moment you step foot inside the door, you will feel completely at ease, and you'll know straight away that you've made the right choice. How often in life have you make decisions, only to regret them shortly afterwards? Probably more times than you'd wish to admit! Well, I can assure you that you won't be facing such a dilemma if you choose SLS to complete your TEFL Course.
Cillian is a brilliant, highly qualified instructor, who has an abundance of experience, and does his utmost to cater to every individual need. He actively encourages discussion from all the trainees, which ensures lively and stimulating experiences in his classroom.
The course is intensive and challenging, but every effort is made to accommodate participants who may have a practical rather than an academic background. I actually come from an agricultural background, and never foresaw myself as a teacher, let alone as a teacher in a foreign country, adapting to a new lifestyle and culture. But I made the change, and made it successfully, and it's been the start of a whole new chapter in my life.
Let SLS Training Centre be the catalyst that transforms YOUR life. I assure you that it will be one of the best decisions that you've ever made.
