6 WEEKS TEACHING PLACEMENT
This programme is dedicated to enabling travelers to experience the life-changing adventure of living and working abroad and giving back to local communities through cultural exchange. This 6 Week programme offers a teaching certification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and a teacher job placement for 6 weeks following on from your 1 week orientation.
Typically teaching days range from 8:30am – 4pm and then your afternoon is yours to do exactly as you please! The best bit? Degree holders can expect to earn between 30,000 to 40,000 Thai Baht throughout their placement, which is super competitive pay!
Teachers will also get all public holidays off as standard!
WHERE WILL I BE PLACED AND HOW MUCH CAN I EARN/EXPECT TO SAVE?
Where you’ll be placed on your teaching placement is all dependent on which of our partner schools require teachers. This can also be dependent on your experience and the age/level of teaching required by the particular school. Nevertheless, we have a 99% placement rate and schools across Thailand are in huge need of Native Speaking English teachers, so we’re sure you’ll get snapped up!
Some of our most popular placement areas include Bangkok (the countries buzzing capital!), Sukothai, Trang, Ubon & Chonburi! All of these locations are within walking distance from local shops, temples, markets and some of the most amazing tourist hotspots! Please note, we can take into account your preference on placement location, but we cannot guarantee it.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
Many of the issues and challenges that one faces when teaching in a foreign country are rooted in cultural differences and language barriers. Gaining a thorough understanding of language, history and culture is imperative to making a success of teaching in Thailand.
Preparing to teach abroad with this mindset results in a smoother cultural integration, making the experience more enjoyable and enlightening.
Our cultural immersion course delves into the heart of Thai culture and values through in-class instruction/lectures, and active-learning cultural excursions to various sites of cultural and historical significance. The in-country orientation is punctuated by in-class language lessons to build a strong foundation in Thai language.
