ABOUT SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA - Angkor Wat, a symbol on the Cambodian flag, is one of the most amazing attractions in South East Asia, and is only five kilometres from Siem Reap – home to our TEFL training centre.
Siem Reap, just south of Angkor Wat, has blossomed from a relatively small backwater town into the fastest growing area in Cambodia. It’s now seen as a “smart city” with dedicated bicycle lanes and footpaths. Siem Reap is a foodie haven, from local Khmer food to Western delights, you’ll find endless options. The city also offers plenty of ‘non-ruin’ things to do and see.

Your observed teacher pracs will start from week two when you’ll be able to apply these techniques yourself.
