Students Feedback
 This
project gave me the opportunity to not only try and learn
basic teaching skills, it also gave me a chance to travel and
explore a part of the world I had only dreamed of seeing. I
also liked that upon completion of TESOL course, we are placed
in schools here in Thailand, therefore extending our stay in
the country. This allows us time to truly experience the Thai
culture.

I choose to take
the American TESOL Institute because I wanted to experience
not only the joy of travelling, but also learn about the
culture, people and tradition in a fuel emersion situation.
This program seemed to offer all of these 'wishes' and your
staff and support made that decision easy.

 I
chose to take up this project because I love to teach and I
wanted to travel and experience another culture. I feel it
will help me now both personally and professionally. I figure
it will also be lots of fun.

 I
was unhappy with my job at home! I should have been a teacher
as soon as I graduated from college but was not certified.
Also, I think I was just bored with my life in general. I left
nothing behind besides family and friends. One day after work
I began looking up teach English abroad programs found this
one. I applied on a whim found out 2 days later I got
accepted. I am very excited to be here, I have this
opportunity to teach in Thailand.

 I
chose to take up this project because I enjoy travelling and
view teaching English as a great opportunity to extend my
travels indefinitely.
Amber Hessebein, USA |
|
|
 I
chose to take up this project in order to have the experience
of teaching my native language to those in a different
country. I have always wanted o teach and this will be a good
stepping stone. As well, I have always wanted to travel to
Thailand.

 As
with many other students here today I have a love for
traveling. Meeting as many people from all over the world and
learning as much as I can from them is a lifelong goal. I also
love to teach and help other to reach goals. I have of course
never worked within a classroom environment but have taught a
skill- kayaking- for many years. The feeling you get from
helping someone complete a goal or an obstacle is like no
other. I am excited to be I Asia and to teach English.
Mary Beny, USA |

 I
was interested in teaching English and started an online
course. However I felt that it would be beneficial to learn in
the classroom. I liked the idea of a short placement to see how
I enjoy teaching. Also, I am traveling alone for a year and
Thailand is a great place to start. Teaching in Asia offers
the opportunity to learn about the culture.

 I
had been teaching in the UK for 2 years and decided that
wanted to try something new. I knew that I wanted to try
teaching in another country and Thailand seemed like a good
place to come to because I had been once before and left
wanting to see and learn more about teaching.
Alison Shipp, England |
|
|
 I
always wanted to teach abroad to learn more about education in
other countries. Also I traveled to Asia before and that made
me want to learn more about this interesting part of the
world. I think that this project is the best way to practice
my profession over years and to discover Thailand. I truly
believe that education is important for helping the future
adults to become responsible citizens.
Myline, Canada |

 After
working for some time in my current employment I decided that
I would like a change. As my girlfriend Mylene has just
recently finished her degree in teaching, we together decided
that we would spend a period of time teaching in another
country. After looking at a number of projects we felt this
would offer the experience and adventure we were looking for.
David Thomas, Canada |

 After
college I knew I wanted to start working within the education
sector. I have always been passionate about teaching but have
had limited experience within a classroom. I felt this project
would be a wonderful opportunity to expand my knowledge. Also
my other passion is travelling and learning about other
cultures around the world. I felt that this program in
Thailand would combine my two interests and provide experience
for my future jobs. ATI also is affordable and allowed me to
not to broke!
Kelly Giotta, USA |

 I
really wanted to do something with dimension and substance. I
love language and culture, and I as a writer hope to explore
new sides of English. I also love traveling and am so
interested in exploring, starting with the food and far
beyond. ATI, specifically, offered a way to experience a new,
interesting place while working toward a goal, receiving
a certificate at a reasonable rate.
Eric Millman, USA |

 I
wanted to travel with a way to support myself. Regionally, I
wanted an area located in the tropics and I didn't want to
make a year long commitment. This program fulfilled both
requirements. Also, I researched the credentials of the
program and was satisfied that it was legitimate and would
provide the skills necessary to effectively teach.
David Hoffman, USA |
|
|
|
 I
chose to take this project because I really wanted to travel
around Asia and be able to stay in one place for a long
period of time to better understand the culture. I also wanted
a program that was shorter than a year and love kids and
wanted to teach.
Elizabeth Tarkington, USA |

 My
boyfriend Tyler and I wanted to do some traveling, so we tried to
find a way to help pay for it. We had some friends who were
also teaching English through a different program. So we
decided to look for one for us, we researched online and
decided that Thailand would be a great place to teach and
learn about a new culture.
Jazmin, USA |

I chose this
project in order to travel, learn and become immersed in a new
culture.

 I
am becoming a teacher back into the US. I wanted to see a new
part of the world, while at the same time remain in education.
Your program offered the best opportunity at the best price.
Thailand rocks!!

 I
choose this project because of the opportunity to live in
another culture. I have traveled to many places, but never for
a significant amount of time. This program was a great way for
me to teach my culture and learn about Thailand.
Dan Anderson, USA |
|
|
|
 I
decided to take this program as a means of foreign travel. I
have traveled extensively in the past, but felt something was
lacking. I feel that teaching is a way to give back to the
community which you are experiencing. I felt that seeing this
certificate would offer structure to the teaching process.
Travis Anderson, USA |
|
|
 This
program combines two things that I love, teaching and
travelling. I just graduated and I wanted to go to Asia to
work. I have taught classes in Math and Graphic design. I
really enjoy teaching and I am excited to be in Asia.
Sarah Lutkenhaus, USA |
|
|
|
 I
chose this project because I had an interest in visiting
Thailand and South East Asia and I have an interest in
eventually teaching. While I was looking into other programs,
ATI offered a salary and intensive orientation program,
something other organizations did not.
I am interested in traveling to other parts of Asia as well,
so this program offered the flexibility to have that.
Christine Garvey, USA |
|
|
 This
project gave me the opportunity to travel, teach and live
abroad. I have always wanted to teach and I love to travel. I
have lived abroad but only in English speaking countries. I
have wanted to experience Asia. This gives me the chance to
teach and really get to experience the true Thailand. I think
it will be very rewarding.
