On this program you will teach English to students in various local schools. Our local team have strong relationships with several child development centres, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools and the age of the students may be anywhere from 6 years to 12 years of age.
The teachers and schools are fairly open to different approaches to teaching, allowing you to be creative and teach in your own style. You will be able to share your own ideas, concepts and approaches to teaching, and interact with the local teachers, to combine methods.
Many of the local teachers are not fluent in English, so you being able to not only teach the children, but also interact with the other teachers is a fantastic opportunity for them to pick up the English language. This project can greatly benefit the children in being confident speaking English and talking to foreigners, as well as providing greater opportunities for them in later life. You will also gain an insight into the Thai education system, as well as having the chance for a cultural exchange with the staff at the school.
