Program Reviews

Hiya,
I wanted to write this review to tell anyone considering teaching abroad that the experience is really lifechanging and has helped me to figure out what I want from my future career. Since I left my teaching job with Kids English Thailand, I have been looking for other teaching roles in Japan, China, and the USA. The team at KET has been incredible in helping me with references for all of these applications, regardless of how many I keep asking for. But the best part is that every interviewer I've had recently has been incredibly impressed by my experience abroad. Furthermore I've been able to give in-depth, real answers to the classic interview questions like "how have you had to overcome challenges?" or "what's something in your career that you've been really proud of".

Overall I would really recommend teaching with KET because the experience is unforgettable and regardless of the job you're looking for afterwards, the things you learn will definitely help you.

Although I had experienced some challenging times leading up to my placement in Tak, Thailand, it was all a distant memory the second I was greeted by the kind and affable staff members. I was lucky enough to arrive just in time to enjoy the lovely Loy Krathong festival with them. We poured ourselves in traditional Thai garb and enjoyed the night away. I was then taken to Tak where I have since been teaching. The students have been a joy to work with and the Thai staff have been equally amazing. Although I'm fairly new here, I'm positive that this is going to be a memorable experience.

They are very nice ,and the food is so good , I love the people very approachable and of course the place is beautiful lots of fun so many tourist go here because the place is lovely.i won't forget this place there culture are very nice the respect of each other is nice to. That's I recommend this place because of people who is very genuine and generosity of people is always there wherever you go that's why I love this country . That's all I love stay here for so long because of food and culture.

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!

The support from KET is amazing, they support you through the whole process. You’ll meet some amazing people and get to live and experience the fabulous culture of Thailand. The children you interact with are so grateful to have you in their classrooms. It’s doesn’t matter how old you are, just do it. You’ll make life long memories and friendships. You will need set up funds to set yourself up comfortably and get visas and permits. The lifestyle is relaxed and the locals are really friendly. The work is easy and fun.

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.

Having worked in the service industry for a couple of decades, I can honestly say, Matthew John and his team at KET are of the highest calibre. Organized, efficient, extremely friendly, very helpful, incredibly supportive and also very informative. Nothing is too much effort!
Having taught overseas in the past, my previous transition would have gone much more smoothly if I had had the support and guidance of a team like KET Pacements. I recommend them without any reserve. Thank you, Matt and Team!!!
