Vom Unternehmen geschrieben
Gotoco organises summer TEFL placements to promote global student mobility and cultural exchange. We also offer a small number of longer term TEFL fellowship career programmes. Since 2011 we enabled more than 2,000 university students to undertake summer placements across 100 locations all around China. In 2022, we have expanded to cover destinations around the world - primarily Europe, Colombia and Thailand. We care about accessibility - global adventures should be open to all, and so we minimise fees and give out as many 100% fee-free spots as we can fund. We are called Gotoco because we aspire to be the 'go-to; for anyone wishing to 'go to' global TEFL adventures! The dictionary defines "go-to" as "someone or something that is regularly or repeatedly chosen or employed for reliably good results" In our first decade of operations, we focussed on projects in China, we chose to offer TEFL adventures there because it is both a fascinating and nuanced culture, but also it sits at the centre of world news and is a powerhouse behind the global economy. Gotoco is a social enterprise with a presence in the UK, China and Hong Kong. We are rated highly by 2000+ participants that have taken part in programmes since 2011, for our work we have been shortlisted for the following awards: For our efforts in building a community of young China watchers and offering support to educational institutions across China, we were finalists in the 2019 China Social Impact Awards - an award organised by the British Chamber of Commerce in China in partnership with the United Nations: For our TEFL and China education initiatives, we were finalists for best educational product with the British Youth Travel Awards. For provision of summer internships in China to students from Oxford University we were granted gold star host status. For more info, check out our site (www.goto.co)

My experience on the Thailand programme…
My experience on the Thailand programme has been nothing short of incredible, and I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to take part. Teaching English in Thailand has truly been the opportunity of a lifetime. It has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally while creating memories that I will cherish forever.
I had the chance to immerse myself in Thai culture in a way that would never have been possible as a tourist. I learned about Thailand’s rich history, visited beautiful temples, explored ancient cities, experienced local traditions and celebrations, and discovered the importance of respect, community, and hospitality within Thai culture.
Would recommend to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An Unforgettable Experience
Taking part in this programme was an unforgettable experience! It gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture, try incredible food, explore beautiful places and create lasting friendships. The highlight for me was teaching the children; seeing their enthusiasm for learning English was really rewarding. The programme was very well organised, from accommodation to cultural activities; everything was thoughtfully planned, which allowed us to focus more on enjoying the experience. The staff are also very supportive and are there if you ever need help. I would highly recommend this experience! It’s the perfect combination of travel, cultural immersion, personal growth and teaching experience. I left Vietnam with unforgettable memories and lifelong friends. If I have the chance, I would love to do this experience again!
GotoCo China 3 Month Experience
It was great to experience China in an authentic way and explore a culture that was very different to mine. Meeting locals was very nice, as they were all super friendly. Spending time outside of school with the teachers was also a lot of fun. If you're looking to challenge yourself and develop your skills, I'd definitely recommend.
So much more than a teaching placement
I had the most incredible time teaching English in Thailand with GOTOCO. Everything was well organised from the very first application step right through to the end of the programme, and communication was clear and reassuring throughout. The coordinators, Morgan and George, went above and beyond to support us and made everything run smoothly. Beyond the teaching itself, which gave me real, hands-on classroom experience and a TEFL qualification, it was the friendships, the culture and the personal growth that made it unforgettable. I came away more confident, more adaptable, and with a real sense of the direction I want to take. I'd wholeheartedly recommend GOTOCO to anyone considering it.
A Truly Transformative Experience in…
A Truly Transformative Experience in Thailand!I recently completed the teaching program in Thailand with Gotoco, and it was easily one of the best experiences of my life. As someone who worried the program sounded "too good to be true" initially, I can confidently say it is 100% legitimate and deeply rewarding.
The Highlights:Building a bond with my students was incredibly fulfilling. The school community was so welcoming, and the hospitality of the local Thai people is unmatched. Gotoco also organized fantastic cultural immersions—visiting stunning local sites and experiencing genuine Thai traditions made the trip unforgettable.
I highly recommend Gotoco!
I highly recommend Gotoco! I have just returned from a 2-week placement in Thailand, and have gained so many new skills and experiences such as resilience, leadership, and learning about a new culture. The company is great and team leaders are so supportive and make you feel safe every step of the way!
Thank you to all at Gotoco / Further Afield for this wonderful opportunity
I would like to thank everyone involved in organising and delivering this programme, especially Morgan, who helped answer my questions and put my mind at ease during the initial stages before confirming my placement. I had several concerns and Morgan took the time to discuss these with me, provide reassurance, and ensure I felt comfortable moving forward. I really appreciated his patience, understanding, and support during this process.
Overall, it was an incredibly rewarding and memorable experience that allowed me to develop my teaching skills, gain confidence, immerse myself in Thai culture, and create meaningful connections with both students and fellow participants. The support from the programme coordinators was excellent, and I always felt that there was someone available to help whenever needed.
I would very much like to take part in this programme again in the future, whether as a Project Coordinator, Programme Ambassador, or even as a participant.
I hope that my positive attitude, personality, and active participation added value to the programme, and I would be grateful to be considered for future opportunities, whether in Thailand again or at another destination such as Vietnam or India.
I have a strong familiarity with India and also speak one of the local languages, which I feel could be beneficial in supporting future programmes and participants.
I would highly recommend this experience to future participants and encourage them to approach the programme with an open mind, flexibility, and a willingness to embrace new challenges. The memories, friendships, and experiences gained from this opportunity will stay with me for a long time.
An Unforgettable Experience in Vietnam!
Overall, I had an amazing time in Vietnam. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience a new culture, gain valuable classroom experience, and work alongside inspiring local teachers and students. The highlight for me was building genuine connections with the students, watching their confidence grow, and making lasting friendships throughout the programme. It was an unforgettable experience both personally and professionally.
This programme confirmed that teaching is the right career path for me. It helped me develop practical teaching skills, build confidence in the classroom, and sparked an interest in teaching abroad in the future. It has had a really positive impact on my career direction. I would definitely recommend this programme to anyone looking to gain teaching experience while exploring a new country.
It offers a great balance of professional development, personal growth, and fun, with plenty of unforgettable memories along the way. Thank you, Gotoco!
Biggest Adventure of my Life!!
Looking back on the experience, I can honestly say that I lived my best life during those two weeks. What began as an exciting opportunity became one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences of my life. I had looked forward to teaching and engaging with university students, sharing knowledge while learning from their perspectives and experiences, and the reality exceeded all of my expectations. The students were inspiring, enthusiastic, and welcoming, making the experience both professionally fulfilling and personally meaningful.
My trip to Asia was my first, and it provided an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in a completely different culture. I embraced the people, traditions, language, food, and way of life, gaining a much deeper appreciation for the diversity of the world around me. Meeting new people and building meaningful connections was one of the highlights of the experience, and I made friendships that I will cherish for years to come.
This journey represented a significant period of personal growth. I stepped well outside of my comfort zone and challenged myself in ways I never thought possible. I became more confident in making my own decisions independently, embraced new experiences without hesitation, and enjoyed the freedom to focus on my own personal development. For the first time in many years, I was able to concentrate solely on myself without the day-to-day responsibilities I have towards my family, which allowed me to grow in confidence and independence.
One of my biggest achievements was travelling halfway around the world despite my fear of flying. As someone who has always disliked flying, this was a challenge in itself, but overcoming that fear gave me a tremendous sense of accomplishment and proved that I am capable of far more than I sometimes believe.
I truly experienced things I would never have dreamed of and created memories that will stay with me forever. None of this would have been quite the same without Hayley, Arron and Thuy, who were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire experience. Their support, encouragement, friendship and guidance played a huge role in making the trip so special and memorable.
I will never, ever forget my time there. It was a life-changing experience that enabled me to grow both personally and professionally, gave me friendships and memories to treasure, and showed me what is possible when I am willing to embrace new challenges and opportunities.
Bring on my next adventure ( although I am unsure my husband and family will agree this time )
An unforgettable experience with GOTOCO
I recently completed GOTOCO's two-week volunteer teaching programme in Vietnam, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience.
From the application process through to the programme itself, everything was well organised and communication was clear. The team provided plenty of information before departure, and once we arrived, the coordinators were always available to offer support and guidance.
Teaching English in kindergartens, schools and universities was both challenging and rewarding. Every class was different, which encouraged me to adapt, think creatively and grow in confidence. The lesson planning resources and training were really helpful, and there was always support available whenever we needed it.
The cultural activities were fantastic and gave us the opportunity to visit some amazing places while learning more about Vietnamese culture. The local partners at C4C were incredibly welcoming, and the accommodation and meals exceeded my expectations.
The biggest thing I took away from this experience was personal growth. Travelling solo, stepping outside my comfort zone and immersing myself in a new culture helped me build confidence and create memories I'll never forget.
I would highly recommend GOTOCO to anyone considering volunteering abroad. If you approach the experience with an open mind and a willingness to embrace new challenges, it is an incredibly worthwhile and life-changing opportunity.
Well looked after!
The organisation and care of the programme coordinators were fantastic. They made the trip so worthwhile and enjoyable. The house mums prepared delicious food, and really looked after us. The arranged activities were well thought through, and kept the cohort entertained, while giving a valuable insight into the culture of the country.
I would definitely recommend the experience.
unforgettable trip!!
My Thailand trip was an unforgettable experience. Teaching children was incredibly rewarding, and their enthusiasm and kindness made every moment special. I also loved exploring the vibrant cities, discovering local culture, markets, and temples. The Thai cooking class was a real highlight, I learned to make authentic dishes and gained a new appreciation for the cuisine. It was the perfect mix of giving back, learning, and adventure. I can’t wait to return!
Great team
The communication was amazing the team was very responsive and efficient and were super helpful throughout the whole process, it seemed sketchy at first but it was well worth the risk. Money wise was good - once you are there they fund the meal, the transportation to and from the schools and of course the accommodation.
The best thing I’ve ever done
The best thing I’ve ever done. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me grow , these type of experiences make you learn so much about yourself and the world- if you feel stuck and like your floating… DO THIS ! xx
Vietnam with Gotoco
The whole experience was so incredible, mind-opening and, in many ways, surreal, that it is hard to break it down to define specific highlights. The people I travelled with and lived with for the two weeks were so amazing and varied that it made each day a new adventure, and, as for actually being in Vietnam, the sights were gorgeous, the locals so kind and courteous, the food so flavoursome and unique, and the culture so fascinating that I didn't want to leave! Seeing sights like the Lady Buddha, Mỹ Sơn temple complex and the Marble Mountains made for incredible and eye-opening expeditions and having the picturesque beach basically on our doorstep meant many a happy hour was spent in the sea or in deck chairs after teaching. Finally, the teaching itself was such a rewarding and confidence-building experience. It allowed me to gain so many practical skills, such as communication, public speaking, independence and leadership, that I can utilise to help me to obtain further work/placements abroad and was overall a very positive experience.
Life changing experience
I joined the 2 week programme in Thailand which exceeded my expectations. I had the most amazing time exploring and working with a lovely group.
As well as being fun it is also incredibly rewarding.
Gotoco is an amazing company and I would definitely go with them again. If you're thinking of doing it, go for it 100%, you will not regret it.
Fantastic opportunity for personal and professional development
I just returned from a 2 week placement in Thailand. What a brilliant opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. From learning about and immersing myself in the culture and exploring new places, to teaching in an English camp and meeting new people, it has helped me develop both personally and professionally. If you get the opportunity to join a placement with Gotoco I would absolutely encourage you to do so.
Fantastic Experience
Amazing experience/ Something I never thought would be available to me. Enjoyed experiencing real Thailand and taking part in teaching at English Camp with such fantastic kids.
It was an opportunity that felt too good to be true but on this rare occasion it was actually even better than anticipated!
An amazing experience and one of the…
An amazing experience and one of the best times of my life
Da Nang, Vietnam
It’s been a 2-week rollercoaster in Vietnam: teaching English in different schools, sharing the hostel with new fellow mates, exploring new places, and having unforgettable excursions.
I highly recommend this experience with Gotoco because it enriched me as a person and gave me indelible memories.
