Program Reviews

Every step of the way, both before flying out to Thailand and arriving in Thailand to teach, the KET team have gone beyond my expectations with the support they have provided. They literally help you with everything and the team are so welcoming, accomodating and supportive, which has helped me able to settle in Thailand so swiftly. I would highly suggest going through KET because of the support they provide, as I am talking travel support from Bangok, accomodation support, help with your visa (which is complicated alone), teacher training, breakfast for training week, they have thought of it all!

I had a super great experience teaching with KET! I was with ket for 6 months teaching at a private school in Phitsanulok Thailand. Ket was super helpful with all my visa paper work, the visa run process, work permit, and any other work I needed to do with my school. I’d highly suggest teaching at a school through ket!

Teaching in Thailand in general is such an incredible and life changing experience. I learned so much about myself and the Thai culture. I think no matter if you keep teaching or not it’ll be an awesome experience!

Teaching English in Thailand—Bang Mun Nak-—for the past eight months has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I've not only witnessed my students' language skills improve but also learned so much from their culture and perspectives. The warmth and hospitality of the Thai people have made this journey unforgettable. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to their education and personal growth while also expanding my own horizons. It's been a period of mutual exchange, and I leave with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for Thailand. Of course, thanks to KET for this opportunity.

I have been teaching and living in Thailand since October of 2023. My relationship with the KET team has been a supportive and positive one from the time I arrived in Thailand up to my most current placement at Bangmunnak School. I have learned so much along the way. If you're from the "West", like I am, be ready for changes and challenges. Embrace the fun times, but also be prepared to face the realities of day-to-day life as a teacher in a school system that challenges your expectations of what schools should be and how students should behave. There is ALWAYS a gap in realities between being a tourist and living in country on a longer-term basis.

When I first started my orientation with KET, we were advised on the cultural behaviors and expectations of Thai people, how to handle culture shock, culture clashes, and navigating life in a society that seems similar on the surface, but that is so much different from our own.

So what have I learned? I have learned to cultivate patience, smooth out my temper when things don't go well, to take moments literally one minute at a time, and to remember to appreciate my fellow Thai teachers for the support they give, even if I think it is "imperfect". It is easy to be simultaneously frustrated with your students and care deeply about them. My experiences became better when I put myself in their shoes, learned to see things from their perspectives, laughed at their crazy jokes and appreciated their sense of humor.

I have enjoyed the dinners, the school festivals, the storytelling, dance and singing competitions, the drama and spectacle of Sports Day, the shared office jokes. And in the difficult moments, at every step of the way, I knew I could reach out to KET's staff for advice and support. I always got helpful assistance with the critical matters, like immigration forms, acquiring non-B and tourist visas, navigating and resolving disagreements with Thai staff, and learning how to balance work life with personal life.

I encourage anyone who is thinking about teaching overseas to take the plunge and embrace the challenges of navigating work and life in a foreign land. Kids' English - Thailand will help you every step of the way.

My Thai teaching adventure was transformative. I sought adventure and a cultural escape, but found so much more. Adjusting to a new city and diverse students was challenging, but the rewards were immense. My students' enthusiasm was infectious, and their progress incredibly rewarding. Beyond the classroom, I explored ancient temples and bustling markets, forging lifelong friendships. Teaching abroad wasn't just about imparting knowledge; it was about personal growth, boosting my confidence and broadening my perspectives. If you're considering teaching abroad, I highly recommend it – it's an investment in yourself.

I spent a year teaching at a primary school in Lampang, Thailand (near Chiang Mai) and had an amazing experience. The KET staff gave great cultural training, teaching advice, and set up a visit to a local school so the new teachers could do a practice lesson before entering our year-long assignments. The staff at my school set me up for success and welcomed me to Thailand both at school and during their free time. Outside of school time, I was able to travel locally and beyond with other teachers in my city. My boyfriend and I went to Thailand together and KET was able to place us in the same city and help us find accommodation ten minutes from both of our schools. I made great friends, ate great food, and would go back to Thailand in a heartbeat!

Matthew has been incredibly supportive in the build up to coming to Thailand. He gives very detailed information and his response time is incredibly fast (especially considering time differences). The group orientation we had in Sukothai was very informative, useful and fun. The KET Thai Team are also happy, friendly and helpful. The orientation also included cultural activities like a Thai language class, Thai cooking class, Songkran festival in Sukothai, and a welcome dinner! It was a great way of adjusting to Thai lifestyle and meeting other teachers in the same position as you.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Kids English Team on the orientation. The team went above and beyond and were extremely accommodating to our needs. The lessons we were taught by both Matthew and the Thai team were incredibly valuable to our time in Thailand moving forward. My partner and I both viewed Matthew as not only an inspirational character but a friend whom we would feel comfortable to confide in. We both made friends who we intend to meet again as we share this unique and incredible journey in Thailand. We would absolutely recommend this agency to anyone who wanted to pursue a career in teaching in Thailand.

When I was first contacted by KET, I was nervous, skeptical, scared, and a bunch of other emotions were going through me. Matthew and his team made the move as seamless as a move could be.

During my time at KET, I felt valued. I had support 24/7. The kids are amazing and phenomenal. They are quite respectful and I will miss them immensely. They are what makes teaching worthwhile. It's quite magical when a kid tells you that they like learning with you.

During my exit, they were able to give me tips and support, even after I chose to leave them

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Kids English Thailand for their exceptional assistance in facilitating my journey to Thailand as an English teacher. Their unwavering support and dedication throughout the documentation process made my transition to Lampang smooth and enjoyable. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and patience.
The training provided by Kids English Thailand was impeccable. I felt thoroughly prepared, thanks in large part to Mathew's invaluable assistance. Nothing came as a surprise, and I was able to step into my role with confidence, all thanks to the comprehensive training provided by KET.
My experience in Thailand has been nothing short of extraordinary. As they say, Thailand truly is the "Land of Smiles." The locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to immerse oneself in the rich culture and vibrant atmosphere. From breathtaking natural landscapes to delectable cuisine, Thailand offers a plethora of experiences to explore.
The weather in Thailand is perfect, with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine year-round. This, coupled with the delicious local cuisine, makes every day a delight for the senses. Additionally, I have been thoroughly impressed by the level of respect and admiration the children here have for their teachers. It's heartwarming to see such enthusiasm for learning and education.
In conclusion, I am immensely grateful to Kids English Thailand for providing me with this incredible opportunity to teach in Thailand. My experience thus far has been nothing short of amazing, and I would wholeheartedly recommend any teacher considering a move to Thailand to partner with Kids English Thailand. Thank you once again for making this experience possible.
