Once in a lifetime opportunity - English Teacher Gotoco Employee Review

Working with a gotoco program was a great experience. I was able to quickly and cheaply plan an amazing trip to China, and it was such an amazing experience. Every part of the process was smooth, and teaching at my program and working with children felt very rewarding. The program specifically was a summer camp, with a range of ESL activities, and the students were all adorable and very kind. We had a lot of fun teaching them English, and I even taught them a fair bit of swimming as well. You also will meet many awesome people from around the world, who are all friendly and willing to help you with anything along the way. I think everyone should experience a different culture at least once in their lives, and I think many people don't understand how rewarding the experience can be. This along with working on a TEFL certificate at the same time makes gotoco a once in a lifetime opportunity for people across the world.

I had no major or minor issues with gotoco.

Gotoco provides you with the platform to teach foreign children, which is a unique experience, and supporting you with TEFL makes it different from some other volunteering organisations as you can get a qualification out of it. I have also met new friends in this program, which I would probably never have the chance to meet otherwise, and I had lots of fun spending time with them during my program. I've also got the chance to see the beautiful views of China.

Lots of the plans were spontaneous hence need to be adaptable. Also, need to be more accurate about living conditions, e.g. single rooms as when we started teaching they said last minute that there are no single rooms. Still waiting to be reimbursed for the expenses I paid during my volunteering program for the program director.
