"I feel great about my placement.  I am teaching in Northern Thailand through MediaKids and am really enjoying it.  Teaching the secondary students requires a lot of energy but I continue to gain more and more insight into teaching from this experience.  I feel like Oxford Seminars did a great job preparing me for this and I continue to refer back to the books and notes that I have from the class.  [My instructor] did such an excellent job preparing us and helping me gain the confidence I needed to walk into class my very first day.  I have thought about the Oxford course a lot since I've been here and am so happy I signed up for it."
