"Samui TEFL has given me an extremely strong foundation to begin my journey as an English Language Teacher. I have no doubt that in years to come, I will still be making references to the broad range of knowledge that I have learnt on the course. Kathryn is an extremely competent trainer, who shares her invaluable knowledge and experiences with all." - Nicole, Samui TEFL graduate
Samui TEFL/TESOL course
Samui TEFL's 4 week intensive TEFL/TESOL course on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, offers both practical training and classroom sessions to equip you with the knowledge and skills required to teach English to non-native speakers.
The course is 120hrs, 4 weeks, Mon to Fri, and additional hours will need to be done in your own time for resourcing, studying and planning. Your certificate is for the standard 120h course, including observed practical lessons. This is the preferred requirement for schools worldwide, and they are now reluctant to accept online courses or the shorter 60hr courses. You get your certificate on the last day of the course, along with a letter of recommendation and a detailed report to show prospective employers.
All of the learning is done hands on through games and interactive activities. You will never just be lectured to, but will always be involved in every lesson. The theory in the TEFL course is presented by the trainer using games, activities and strategies that you will then be able to use in your own teaching, allowing you to build your portfolio of activities and teaching tools from day one. Your observed teacher pracs will start from week two, when you’ll be able to apply these techniques yourself.
We limit our numbers in our TEFL course to small groups, so that we can offer personal assistance with lesson planning and any area you may need help with such as grammar etc. Our practical training includes both youth and adult lessons, at various schools and businesses around the island. Should your course be over a school holiday, we’ll use the same children, but teach them in the form of a summer camp.

Our trainer and co-director
Kathryn Webb joined Samui TEFL as a business partner in 2013. She left the USA 20 years ago to move to Italy. Kathryn not only has a degree in psychology (good for some pointers on classroom management!), but has a DELTA (Diploma of English Language Training to Adults) as well as CELTYL, (Certificate of English Language Training to Young Learners) so is qualified for teaching adults and children. Kathryn has owned a prestigious English language school in Italy for eight years, before selling up to relocate to beautiful Samui. Her company trained teachers, placing them in contracts with some of Italy's top companies as well as running courses for both adults and children at her school. Kathryn believes in making classes fun, and has some brilliant ideas to share with the trainee TEFL teachers.
"I am so grateful to have been a part of the Samui TEFL program. This class allowed me to gain essential teaching skills in order to teach English to non native English speakers while creating strong friendships I would hold with me throughout my time teaching abroad in Thailand." - Morgan, Samui TEFL graduate
