Training Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is the delivery location for AVSE’s In-Class TESOL Program. Our long-standing partnership with the Westline Education Group provides trainees with face-to-face ESL teacher training within an established school environment.
Teaching practice is conducted with real ESL learners. TESOL trainees begin by observing experienced teachers before progressing to supervised classroom teaching with personalised feedback. As their confidence and skills develop, they move on to independent teaching while continuing to receive assessment and support from AVSE trainers.
Throughout the program, participants develop practical teaching knowledge and classroom skills while completing the requirements for an Australian Government regulated TESOL qualification. Structured coursework, lesson planning, observed teaching practice and assessment work together to build the confidence and practical experience needed to succeed as an ESL teacher.

Before You Apply: Feedback from In-Class TESOL Graduates
“….Instructors David and Peter were outstanding mentors, showing great patience throughout the course. They took the time to answer all my questions and clarify any doubts I had about the subject matter or activities. Miss Jing was also very helpful in assisting with classroom tasks. I highly recommend AVSE-TESOL to anyone interested in teaching English.”
“……..Firstly Peter the owner and director of AVSE-TESOL, fully explained everything to me prior to the course so that I felt comfortable signing up…..
You definitely go from “zero to hero” really fast and the feeling you get teaching children and adults (even monks) is just unbelievable…..”
“….. It’s definitely an intense 4 weeks – but it’s still really good fun! …..
Not only does it prepare you well for teaching, but the help with job applications is absolutely brilliant. I had Mary help me with job applications – she was absolutely amazing, I had three job offers before the course had even finished…..”
