Can I teach English as a volunteer on Koh Samui without taking a TEFL/TESOL course on the island?
teflmike asked:
I have just started a 4 week TEFL course in the UK (Trinity CertTESOL) and want to volunteer to teach English on Koh Samui. The problem is that all the volunteer projects I can find on the web (on the island) include a 4 week TEFL course. Of course, I don’t want to do another course as (a) it would be pointless doing it all again, (b) I’d be paying for something pointless, (c) I could be using my time and skill to help the unfortunate kids on the island who can’t afford to go to a school with an English language teacher.
Does anyone know of any different?

Hi,
Maybe you can try online teaching, I suggest you try WIZiQ’s Virtual Classroom, . It’s very easy to create your profile, determine your preferred rate and schedule a session. Btw, registration and the whole features are definitely free.
Best Wishes,
