Georgie

I was so privileged to have Georgie as my TEFL instructor. She is amazing. It’s not only how well she knows what she’s teaching, it’s the way she can adjust and customize the games and teaching tools for the lesson’s objectives and make the lesson both educational and fun. I learned so much from her. I loved how she put the theory into practice and provided me with a safe space to practice myself and gave a detailed feedback on what went well and what could’ve gone better. I definitely recommend her as an instructor!!!

Look No Further for A Program

While I did not book my course through Teacher's Friend, I so badly wished that I had. Georgie was my teacher and mentor throughout my course, and the amount of support that she offers is uncomparable to what I had with the company I initially booked through. She has been been in SEA for 11 years and knows all the inns and outs of what is needed. Her support doesn't end when your course does and she is always available with any issues even when you start working. There is no other company that I would recommend with as much enthuasiasm as Teacher's Friend!

Georgie: The perfect example of exceptional teaching

As I sit down to reflect on my journey through the TEFL course in Bali, there's one person who shines like a beacon of inspiration in my memories: Georgie. To say that she's an incredible trainer would be an understatement. Georgie isn't just someone who taught me the ropes of teaching English; she became a guiding light, a mentor, and a friend.

From the moment I met Georgie, her dedication to her craft was incredible. She approached every aspect of the course with unwavering commitment, a trait that immediately inspired confidence in me as a trainee. Her hard work was evident in every lesson, every activity, and every word of advice she offered.

What struck me most about Georgie was her genuine passion for teaching. It wasn't just a job for her; it was a calling. This passion infused every session with energy and excitement, making learning not just informative, but downright enjoyable. Georgie's ability to integrate games and fun activities into our training sessions not only made the content more accessible, but also demonstrated her creativity and innovation as an educator.

One of the biggest challenges I faced during the course was learning to teach different age groups. This is where Georgie truly excelled as a trainer. She didn't just provide us with theoretical knowledge; she guided us through practical exercises that prepared us for the diverse classrooms we would encounter in our teaching careers. Her insights and strategies were invaluable, and I emerged from the course feeling confident and equipped to handle any group of students.

But Georgie's impact went beyond just teaching techniques. She mentored us in ways that extended far beyond the classroom. She took the time to understand each trainee's strengths, weaknesses, and individual learning styles, tailoring her guidance to suit our needs. Her personalized approach made me feel seen, valued, and supported every step of the way.

Georgie wasn't just a trainer; she was a source of inspiration and motivation. Her enthusiasm was infectious, her encouragement unwavering, and her belief in our potential unwavering. She didn't just teach us how to be better educators; she showed us what it means to be passionate, compassionate, and dedicated human beings.

In conclusion, I can say with absolute sincerity that Georgie is more than just a trainer; she's a mentor, a role model, and a friend. Her impact on my life and my teaching career is immeasurable, and I will be forever grateful for the time I spent under her guidance. If you're considering embarking on a TEFL journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Georgie as your guide. You won't just learn how to teach; you'll learn how to inspire, motivate, and make a difference in the lives of others.

What was your funniest moment?
Baby we were fireworks, come on let your colors burst!! (sing-along-car-drives)

One of the most memorable and uproarious experiences during our TEFL course in Bali was undoubtedly the car rides with Georgie, our dedicated trainer, as we made our way to various teaching locations like Prama Hotel and local schools. Picture this: JD, Matt, Aoife, Ciara, Tahrene, and Georgie all packed into a car, bursting with energy and anticipation for the day ahead. Our journeys were anything but boring. Instead, they were filled with offbeat conversations, sing-alongs (Katy Perry baby, we are never ever ever getting back together), and bouts of uncontrollable laughter that left our stomachs aching. We delved into discussions about everything under the sun, from food to music to the age-old debate of whether Georgie's hair should be kept together or let loose. These car rides weren't just a means of transportation; they were moments of complete silliness and pure joy that bonded us as a group and added an extra layer of magic to our TEFL experience.

Amazing Experience

I can't say enough good things about the programme! It was an incredible experience that not only taught me how to be an English teacher, but also immersed us in the vibrant Balinese culture. Georgie, our trainer, was absolutely outstanding.
Her teaching style was engaging, creative, and full of warmth. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had a fulfilling and enjoyable learning journey. Georgie's hard work and kindness truly made this course unforgettable. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to embark on an adventure!

Something I will remember forever!

I can not recommend Georgie enough. She could not be more suited to this job with her abundance of knowledge, teaching experience and travel experience. She knows exactly what you are going through and will be with you every step of the way. Not only just training you to become the best teacher you can be but also helping you lesson plan, giving you feedback on what you did well and what you can improve on. She is always there to celebrate your wins and highs with you and to support you on moments when you may be feeling low and stressed. She guides you, pushes you and helps you achieve things you didn't realize yourself that could ever achieve. What makes Georgie stand out is yes of course her teaching skills making the course enjoyable but always going above and beyond giving you advice and always a hug when needed. I can hand on my heart say that if I had any other trainer I would not be here living my best life in Bali!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Coming from experience at home where I have only worked with children under the age of 13 the thought of teaching adults terrified me. I genuinely didn't think I could do and could not see myself doing it. After keeping the thought to myself when I opened up to Georgie about it even just saying it out. loud helped me. No one can help you if you don't say how your'e feeling and ask for help. Georgie re-assured me. I had to remember why I was here. The challenges like these are the most rewarding as these are the moments you gain more confidence and become stronger as a person as you face and get through your challenges without just giving up.

Something I will remember for life!

I completed my TEFL course with Georgie and I cannot recommend her enough. Her teaching skills, advice, knowledge and all the help she gives is second to none. She is more then just a trainer she is there to teach and guide you but also encourage you along the way and help you become the best teacher you can be.

With Georgie having 10 years travelling experience she helps adjusting to a new country, finding your feet and getting into a new routine a hundred times easier, she really does care about her students.

At times when things may get overwhelming Georgie re assures you and goes above and beyond to get you through each situation. I am beyond grateful I had Georgie as a trainer!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
At times it may get a bit over whelming but it is so so worth it. Keep going and ask for help if you need it because you are in the best hands and trust me when I say everything will work out!!

Teacher’s friend great assistance

Hello,
I am a theater artist by trade. I went to Ohio University for my bachelor of fine arts and received my TEFL just recently. I reached out to teachers friend for assistance in finding a job in Vietnam. This was a huge help in my endeavor in solidifying a job in Vietnam. I am new to the ESL community and needed quite a bit of help to understand the hiring process. Teachers friend gave me the necessary support to organize my paperwork, participate in interviews and solidify a job. I highly recommend them for other new ESL teachers looking for work. Also teachers friend company was very kind when job compatibility did not work. Though they dedicated so much effort to create a point of reference between me and the job. We worked well as a team and I have been hired just recently with their help. Thank you so much teachers friend. Peace and love to you and your journey.

Perfect service!

Georgie was so helpful throughout every phase of completing the TESOL and applying for jobs. With Covid affecting my ability to go to Vietnam, she instead offered full relocation to other countries at no extra cost. The AVSE TESOL course is 10/10: each module is helpful and informative and the content is also peppered with humour which makes it all the better. There are great videos of teaching examples and a good portion of the assessment content is your own pretend teaching. At first I found this really difficult but it is actually the best thing to prepare you for the classroom and now I feel comfortable teaching a whole class of kids! I can’t recommend Georgie and TFV enough!
