Hear from our past interns

Jessica

Hello! My name is Jessica and I’m from Cork. I graduated in Business Information Systems and worked in the industry for over a year until I was bitten by the travel bug!

I took a leap of faith decided to move to Thailand to teach English.

Sean Ceroni

My name is Seán Ceroni, I grew up in Leitrim but spent the last four years in Dublin for college, studying Art History and Philosophy in Trinity. I was drawn to teaching in Italy by the fact than I’m half Italian and had always wanted to spend some time living in Italy to connect with my roots.

Lauren

I’ve always been passionate about languages, but it’s thanks to my secondary level Spanish teacher that I realized just how important the role of a teacher is. Even the students whose strengths lay in other areas became passionate about language because of her methods and attitude towards learning.

Leo

I was born in Ireland, though I grew up in Canada. I first worked as an English teacher in Paris, where I had been living. Teaching really came to mind as a career option during my time at IBM where I was part of a training and development support team. I found teaching really enjoyable.
