Teach English in Thailand - Adventure is Out There

I cannot recommend On the Mark Consulting enough.
They have a high level of support, educational contacts, professional relationships and will find the best role for you.
They ensure a great salary, good contract, great employers, and a really smooth enjoyable time in Thailand.
I am really happy, making good money, teaching fantastic kids, have a lovely school environment, great agency and very nice professional colleagues. I could not have done this without On the Mark Consulting.
Thanks guys!

As the only native English speaker at my international school in Bangkok, I had the ability to teach English to two and three-year-olds from diverse backgrounds including Thailand, Korea, Japan, India, Nepal, America, England, Vietnam, Germany, and China. I was fortunate enough to work with a Thai co-teacher who taught me all about Thai traditions and local travel tips. Despite the language barrier, we were able to effectively communicate and joke around with each other. We created a strong bond that I will never forget.

Just know that it's okay to feel overwhelmed at times-- you're not the only one. Don't be afraid to ask for help or guidance! Moving to a foreign country can certainly have its challenging moments, but it will get easier with time and turn out to be extremely fulfilling and life-changing if you maintain a positive attitude.

Looking back on my teaching experience in Thailand, I feel as though the person leaving is no longer the person who arrived 10 months ago. I am more open, confident, adaptable, patient and understanding now than I was before. Moreover, I feel like I have made a valuable impact on the children I taught-- I am proud that I have accomplished what I set out to do.

When you think of an agency abroad, you ponder if they are going to be the right fit for you. You pack all your luggage and put all your trust into an individual that you don't know but, hope for the best. I can honestly say that I did this with On the Mark. In 2016, I started a new journey and put all my faith into Mark. Given that this was my fourth career path, it was comforting knowing that there was a person that I could reach out to.

With no regrets and an adventure that continues, I know that they are more than just a placement team but, yet a guide that is there whenever you need them. They offer you a light through a dark tunnel that can provide uncertainty. They go above and beyond the scope of a placement agency and instead provide you with heartfelt encouragement and words of wisdom that brings you comfort. They aren't just a company that places you but, instead a welcoming blanket that stays with you, making every place feel like home. I refer them to anyone that wants to teach abroad because with out any doubt, I know they will be taken care of with the help of On the Mark.

Though, I have never met them in person, I can honestly say we are friends from a distance. Friends that keep in touch regularly about our journeys and are always there to inspire you to do more and enjoy life with all that it brings. Overall, what started as me trusting an agency in 2016 has now led to a friend, a travel guru, and a teacher.

On the Mark Recruitment is so fantastic! They found this amazing 4 month teaching experience in Thailand. They were so helpful and replied to emails instantly throughout the process.

It was such a wonderful experience from playing with powder at an English camp, to being a bridesmaid at a traditional Thai wedding, to getting to know my students, it was all such an amazing experience, i am so glad I got to be apart of it!

Thailand is a wonderful country! Thai people are very friendly and helpful! I definitely recommend teaching in Thailand!

On the Mark helped me and my husband to find jobs in Thailand, it was quick easy and no hassles. We had a special request to be placed at the same school and that is what we got.
They are quick to respond and they answered all our questions. Their staff is friendly and helpful.
I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to teach abroad. They did not charge anything to place us.
We are looking at teaching in china and we will use On the Mark again for our application process, because we know we will be placed at good quality schools.

I searched online and found On the Mark offers a 4 month contract in Thailand which I love as it is my first time teaching overseas and I feel Thailand is a soft ground for me to begin with and a 4 month contract should be enough for me. On the Mark helped all the way until the contract is finished and the support they gave me was amazing. The orientation course was very helpful and while taking the course, the hotel was paid for which was a very nice offer. I met so many friends during the course and we took care of each other when we were sent to our school. The area I taught was small and I love it. I don't like being in a touristy place so I got to really enjoy the city and I got to travel for a bit. Overall, I really enjoyed teaching in Thailand and I am grateful for the support On the Mark provided.

I'm sure you're hoping to read some titillating but let me tell you now, this won't be that kind of read. I'm a simple person and simple things please me. I'm overjoyed to find mango and sticky rice with coconut milk for one American dollar. Something I would order as a very special treat at a local Thai restaurant in California for about nine American dollars. The cost of living in Thailand makes one feel very fortunate and comfortable. Boring and simple, but true and realistic to be concerned about making one's ends meet right?

I'm a teacher by nature, but I'm not "teacher-y." Let me explain; I have taught, can teach, will go on teaching, but its not my "gift" so to speak. I'm in for the "ah-ha" moments. I love when I can get a message, a lesson, a piece of advice across to someone. Their face lights up and a whole new perspective has been experienced and there's understanding and the excitement to share it with others. I love that. And its even more rewarding when there's a huge language barrier. Just yesterday I was telling my twelve year old kids why the word "year" has to include an 's' when answering the question, "How old are you?" They have a hard time pronouncing the letter 's' anyway, so they don't hear it in everyday conversations, but they know its around. Anyway, I showed, drew, explained, mimed; I did everything I could to convey why and they got it. We were all excited. One could feel in the moment of silence the understanding, then the students "oooohh." Simple, yet so cool.

Thailand is incredible. So many open and friendly people. I'm pretty independent but I appreciate all that this company has done. I was able to concentrate on the reasons I'm here while they placed me in the school, found a nice apartment two blocks away from the school, market place with everything necessary also just blocks away, an inexpensive train ride into the city, a good salary w/bank account, work visa, etc. I've only been here three weeks and I already have good friends, merchants whom I enjoy shopping from, who know my name and vice versa, and I have my favorite coffee shop. So simple, but so necessary, especially the coffee.

Four months will fly by and I'm already looking ahead to where Go Overseas can send me next. I trust them to make another idea a reality.
