Fully-funded opportunity to travel abroad and earn a TEFL qualification.

I had a very good experience with Gotoco, the process of booking and any questions was seamless and I was fully aware of anything expected on the programme.
Exploring a new country can be scary, but the team were so knowledgeable and had so many good recommendations for spots to go and see. Vietnam was a beautiful country and exploring it through a teaching programme was a very unique but fulfilling experience.

Great people, experiences and not a financial burden

The experience as a whole was amazing, great coordinators and was really fun!

I did the 3 week placement in Changsha, china and it was the best time of my life! All the other students on the ourse were great, teaching was amazing, can't complain about the accommodation or food. The activies were also amazing. China is the best country I've been to and I would have never gone if it wasn't for Gotoco

I did the 6 week Vietnam teaching programme in Vinh city. It was the most heartwarming, wonderful and culturally rich experience of my life. The school and hosts were welcoming and accommodating. My fellow volunteers were lovely and it felt like we’d formed a family. We took trips to explore Vietnam together every weekend. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone and everyone

My experience with Gotoco was incredibly rewarding, both professionally and personally. The programme gave me valuable practical experience working with children and young people, which will benefit my future career in education, while encouraging independence and personal development.

Beyond the programme itself, travelling around China was unforgettable, particularly the opportunity to connect with local people, discover places through their eyes, and navigate cultural and linguistic barriers.

The highlight of my trip was interacting with locals, such as befriending a noodle cook in a remote mountain town and being 'adopted' for a day by a family from Beijing while travelling solo. I would highly recommend Gotoco to anyone looking for an experience that combines practical skills, personal growth, and meaningful cultural exchange.

Gotoco made teaching in Thailand easy to get into. Teaching the kids was great fun and the cultural trips were a great bonus. Would recommend to anyone thinking about teaching abroad.

I really enjoyed teaching with this company and I would do it again if I ever had the opportunity to

Anyone looking for an adventure; look no further! This program is particularly good for someone who not only wants to travel, but wants to fill their travels with unique experiences. This program in particular lets you journey to China, while also meeting fellow students from the UK and the wider world. While meeting these new people, you get to experience how it is to teach English in a foreign country, as well as constantly having the opportunity to learn more about China via the tours and trips ran by Gotoco.

Teaching in Thailand for 2 weeks was awesome. It's the perfect blend of travel and tourism. You have the opportunity to see the country's more well-known destinations, but also it's far out areas where tourists don't normally travel. The teaching, as well, is so fun, it's such a unique way to interact and learn about another culture all whilst they are learning from you! Honestly can't think of any cons besides the 25 hours it takes to get to Thailand--but there's no way to end up in Thailand and have the experience without this so you just gotta stiff up a lip.

I had an amazing overall experience with Gotoco—the programme itself was fantastic and I met some truly lovely people.
However, I am very disappointed with the post-programme administrative and financial management. After spending countless hours completing my coursework and practical hours for my Level 5 TEFL qualification, it took far too long just to receive my second parcel containing my physical certificates.
Furthermore, despite fulfilling all programme requirements and following up via email, my £100 refundable deposit still has not been returned. It is extremely frustrating that I am now having to consider formal legal action and reporting to reclaim a £100 deposit that should have been returned automatically.

It’s been more than a year now that I finished my programme and countless emails. People should not have to look into taking legal action for a simple £100 deposit after doing all the work required.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone this program after this experience

I really enjoyed meeting everyone on the programme and making new friendships. I think that we were all a very diverse crowd, coming from different backgrounds with different experiences, which made everything increadibly interesting and stimulating. I also think working with the kids was such an amazing and eye-opening experience. It gave me a great understanding of what it means to be a TEFL teacher and work with kids, and it has inspired me to continue looking for more TEFL opportunities that I hope to get involved in.

I think that Thailand as a destination was perfect and is a place that I would definitely love to explore further in the future. I believe that the support given by Gotoco before my departure was amazing, especially with the quick, thorough and reassuring responses that I received. I think that the structure was also well thought out, with each day consisting of something new with different events and activites. I appreciate the guidance and the support I was also given throughout the trip as well.

The programme coordinators were all increadibly nice and welcoming with a good attitude which was quite nice to have and were all great points of contact.

A great experience! It was incredible to teach in Thailand for 2 weeks! Thankyou Gotoco

Truly a memorable cultural experience from teaching to day trips and making new friends with other like minded participants!

It was an experience that I have never had before and it was so unique. There were so many highs but you still had to overcome challenges, mainly within the classroom. I think I developed throughout and made real friends. Would 100% do it again.

I had an amazing experience with them, highly recommend!!

It was such an amazing experience. I had the best time ever and learned so much! Being a teacher for 3 weeks was a great opportunity to discover a new potential career path, it was so fulfilling to work with such wonderful children, and my cohort were such wonderful people!

My experience was nothing short of amazing, I was lucky enough to get a spot on the fully funded 6 week programme and it was an experience I could never forget. I will always have fond memories of my time teaching at the school and I highly recommend this experience to everyone.

I genuinely had the best experience with Gotoco in Thailand, and I think I came home a slightly different version of myself.

I travelled out completely on my own, knowing absolutely nobody. There’s something quite scary about getting on a plane alone and knowing that, for the next few weeks, you have to figure things out for yourself. But that ended up being one of the things I’m most proud of.

I went from arriving alone and completely out of my comfort zone, to navigating a new country, building friendships with people I’d never met, adapting to a completely different culture and standing in front of classrooms teaching children and Thai teachers — some of whom had never spoken to a native English speaker before.

There were moments that challenged me, and it definitely wasn’t always easy, but I wouldn’t change that. I learnt how much I’m actually capable of when I stop overthinking and just throw myself into something.

I came home more confident, independent and trusting of myself, with some amazing friendships and memories that I’ll genuinely never forget.

Gotoco were fantastic and I felt supported throughout the whole experience. If you’re thinking about doing it alone but you’re scared — do it scared. Getting on that plane by myself was probably one of the best things I could have done for myself.

I went to Thailand expecting to learn about teaching and another culture, but I ended up learning just as much about myself. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
