Kids-English Thailand (KET)

Kids English and their contacts throughout the country provided step-by-step guidance on all the logistics of getting established in Thailand: job placement, documents, apartment hunting, etc., and this assistance was essential during the complicated travel situation in 2021. In addition, KE's initiation program provided a great primer on language, food, banking, shopping, Thai culture, and more, all of which significantly eased the transition to my new position and set me at ease in my new city.

When I first found Kids English I was attracted by the price of the program and the reviews from past teachers!

Once we had go to the point where they were offering me teaching positions I had the choice between large cities or semi rural locations. I asked for the pros and cons of both and then went for a semi rural location.

I did this because Kids English said that the relationships I would build with the members of the community, my collogues at school and my students.

This has turned out to be 100% true! I have made such great friend with the Thai people I work with and the people in my community.

Every week I am invited to do something, be it a wedding or a trip to a national park or simply going for dinner. There isn't a moment that goes by where I don't have something to do at the weekend.

In contrast to people I meet during training who have gone to larger cities they haven't once been taken anywhere by their Thai collogues or friends.

I am thoroughly enjoying being in a semi rural area where everything is cheap, authentic and I never have a dull day!

Choosing Kids-English was easy for me because they offer the chance to go abroad without paying massive fees. Teachers who are not from the major Native English Speaking countries do not have the same spending power due to strength of currencies and economies. Kids English gave me the opportunity to travel and work in Thailand for a fraction of the cost as other companies, which gave me the chance to have an experience that normally only Non-native English Speakers have. I am forever grateful for Kids English and all they did for me!

I was looking for a period of from my studies and was looking for an opportunity to volunteer. Kids English doesn't usually facilitate volunteers. however I reached out to them and explained my intentions and they made it happen. Kids English is very well connected and they have years of experience helping people travel abroad and fulfill their dreams. I was able to spend time in China and make new friends, eat amazing food and experience the beautiful countryside that most people don't get to see because they stay in the Big Cities only. Venturing into rural areas gives you a chance to connect with people in a more authentic manner. I will remember my experience with Kids English for the rest of my life!

Teaching in China Via the Teach & Discover China Program with Kids English was the best decision I could have made. They supported me in every area feasible. Before I left, once I arrived and even after I left by way of refrences. Whilst I was in China I met many foreign teachers that told me horror stories of their living conditions and work conditions, which made me feel so grateful to Kids English. Everything they said they would do they did, and more! I will cherish the memories I have of my time in China, and still to this day 3 years on I have many friends and we keep in contact regularly.
