Kids-English Thailand (KET)

My experience with KET was a positive one, and I’d recommend the company to anybody looking to teach abroad in Thailand. The company are accessible, open and efficient in handling any concerns or queries and take pride in ensuring your Thailand experience is the best one possible. They’re open to answering any questions and from the moment you arrive at training, they aim to assist you in terms of cultural adaptation, classroom management and much more. Whether you’re new or experienced to the ESL world, or interested in life in Thailand, I’d recommend KET - Matt and the team are extremely supportive!

An overall great program.
There were no problems regarding bureaucracy and other issues associated with working abroad. The management guided and assisted me with everything: getting to/from the office, my visa application, and basically all the paperwork. Even finding accommodation.
The pay is great, considering the fact you would be working outside of major cities. You'd be able to afford a lot and be able to travel to other places during holidays.
The school I was placed at is one of the best in the province. However, even there the quality of the students may greatly vary, and the lack of a proper curriculum makes things tough. But on the bright side, the school's management turned out to be very lax which allows for a more creative approach to planning your lessons.

The whole experience has really been a blessing. I am thankful for all the people I was able to meet and the things I was able to do.
I was first introduced to the culture and the people during my time in the initial beginning. Customs are different. Perspectives differ but respect is very much essential.
The importance of education, with regards to teaching and learning, is also very important.
Although there are points where the differences are great our similarities and appreciation for each other is something that will continue to share.

Well my teaching experience has been nothing but amazing so far. Everyone at the school has been very helpful and the students are wonderful and kind. You have good days and bad days with teaching which you learn from both and can improve on day by day. My journey has been unique as this is my first teaching job and I had no idea what to expect. The advice I would give to any future teacher is to jump in the deep end and you will learn how to swim. At first it is daunting but you will land on your feet and your journey will work out on its own.

The moment we arrived at the training site we were welcomed and greeted with open arms. All the staff members were nice and had answers to many questions that us new teachers had ( and there was a lot of questions). Training was 5 days and everyday was filled with information, great food, and adventure. I loved how hands on this staff was with us 7 teachers. We stayed on the same street of the training building so there was no hassle to get there in the morning. We were quiet a group but it was fun.
