Paid Thailand TEFL Internship

Although my experience in Thailand has been short, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and have come to love this country. I love it so much I would be overjoyed to stay; there are still so many things to see and do.
John, Thailand
Being in Thailand has opened new prospects for me. The Thai people are so friendly and overly accommodating; and as a culture they’re very respectful to people in a higher position than themselves. Working with children has pushed me, but it’s also been a massive reward.
Kenisha, Thailand
Teaching and living in Thailand has been such a life-changing experience. In the past six months I have learnt, seen and done so many new things, and been to so many new places. I have learnt how to ride a moped, speak a bit of Thai and most importantly, teach children English; such a fun and fulfilling thing to do!
