Hear from our past interns

Sara

I was in need of a change but uncertain on my destination so I contacted TEFL.ie to discuss my options for teaching in Asia. With great assistance & consistent support from Ola in TEFL.ie, I finally decided that Cambodia was a wonderful place for me to start my Asian journey. I felt confident with my decision and was very excited to take on this new adventure.

Alyssa

Hello! My name is Alyssa, I’m 22 years old and I am half French half German. So, not a native English speaker. After finishing my studies in the field of Business, I started working in sales. However, I realized there was still so much to see in this world. Therefore, I decided to sign up for a TEFL internship in Cambodia, and here I am!
