Graduate Testimonials

"I have been preparing myself since September of 2009 to go abroad and teach English. I got my Oxford Seminars TESOL/TESL/TEFL certificate on October 4th but still felt unready to take the challenge of going abroad. I waited and procrastinated until the month of March. Then I took the advice of my friend and contacted the Teacher Placement Service from Oxford Seminars." Read more...

"I am enjoying myself here! Daejeon is a beautiful city, and the children are very intelligent and sweet! The school here has been very hospitable and attentive to my needs and I really could not have asked for a better entrance to the world of teaching ESL. I have met up with my job recruiter and am also planning to attend a Christmas party she's holding. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I might even suggest Daejeon as a city for first time ESL teachers in Korea, because it is a good-sized city (not huge like Seoul, but not a small city at all!)."

"The adventure began a couple of years ago when my boyfriend and I, armed with the knowledge we gained from Oxford Seminars, made our way to Japan where we began a new life." Read more...

"Oxford Seminars prepared me practically and mentally for the challenges of going overseas. The teaching practicum component of the course was a good experience and I gained much insight from my instructor who had taught in Japan. If you are looking for change, a challenge, and a great experience, then take the chance to travel and teach abroad. I have experienced so much in a short time and I look forward to the opportunities and challenges that await me." Read more...

"My experience so far here in Thailand has been great. I can honestly say that I have no complaints thus far in the experience. The school is clean, the students are attentive, and the staff is absolutely welcoming and willing to aid in any manner possible. I would like to thank you for such an outstanding job with the placement. Once again, everything is fantastic, and thank you so much for the assistance."

"I am happy to inform you that I have obtained a teaching position in South Korea. I am currently going through the orientation process and look forward to teaching in Daegu in the next coming week. I would like to give my deepest thanks to you and everyone else I have worked with through Oxford Seminars. You have truly made this whole process run as smoothly as possible and hope to work with you again in the future."

"Through the specialized training I received from Oxford Seminars, I am now able to fulfill my ambition to teach English as a foreign language in Japan. The certification from Oxford Seminars has given me the necessary training to ensure these qualities can be put to use in teaching to any age or level of student. Additionally I received the tools necessary to assist every student to feel they will meet their full potential. Thank you very much. "

"I've been in Korea for about a week and a half and I've got half a week of teaching under my belt and I must say that I'm very pleased. The school is great, the teachers I work with are very friendly and the kids are wonderful. Thank you again for helping me find this position. The recruiter you connected me with has been fantastic. Every question has been answered and they placed me in an excellent school. I think I'm even more excited about this adventure than I was before."

"Things are going tremendously well. Steven and I teach in a school that is only a couple of hours south of Bangkok. The teachers within the school have been extremely helpful and accommodating and have gone out of their way to best assist us in our getting acclimated to Thai culture. Things have gone relatively smooth for us thus far. We have begun to find our routine as teachers and much of the anxiety that we first had has dissipated. We've fit in and made many friends and feel more 'at home' than we thought that we would at this juncture of our experience. Thank you for all of your help."
