I completed my online TEFL course a few days ago and I can confidently say it was an exceptional learning experience! Thumbs up to my trainer, Sean Barter, whose patience and expertise made the difficult parts of the course easier to grasp. Sean was always available to give feedback, support and answer questions. I chose this course because it offered 5 hours of practical teaching, 10 hours of coaching via zoom and detailed ESL modules. To be honest, when I signed up, I didn`t know what to expect. It turned out the course was engaging, informative and well structured - exceeding my expectation. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a TEFL course!

This Au pair was an undeniably wonderful and life-changing experience. It enabled me to greatly develop my Chinese, truly understand on a personal level the lifestyle and culture of Chinese people and get to know a whole bunch of new people and new opportunities in China. I developed such a strong and caring relationship with the family and especially the children which I will definitely cherish forever. Global Youth and their team never failed to help me when an issue arose and always did so very quickly and always with the upmost compassion and empathy.
