Amazing Experience

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!

Pros
  • Pre-Departure Guide
  • Cultural Sessions
  • Amazing Excursions

What you read is what you get!

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.

Pros
  • TEFL Support
  • Language Classes
  • Fantastic Staff team
Awe inspiring

Great Company-made my Thailand Journey Better

Kids English Thailand were fantastic! They provided support in areas that I couldn't believe! They have everything organised well and they have a very suppportive staff team. After completing the Teacher Training I felt prepared for my new role as an English teacher in Thailand. After the training, they drove me to my new province and they helped me find an apartment, helped me prepare everything I needed for the apartment, helped me during the signing of the contract with the landlord, and then they took me to my school and showed me around, introduced me to the staff team and the students, which made me feel more comfortable. I am grateful for the support of Kids English Thailand.

Pros
  • Teacher Training Course
  • Online resources
  • Great staff team
Cons
  • I would have preferred one extra days training, but that is from my personal perspective.

From Beginning to End

Kids English Thailand provided support before I left SA, such as guidance about visas, whatto pack in my suitcase, a handy Pre-Departure Guide, this made me feel prepared once I landed in Bangkok.

KET then provideed support so that I could get to Sukhothai Province which is where their offices and training center are located. They provided accomodation, refreshments and lunch during the teacher training and the activities and excursion to a UNESCO World Heritage Site were really enjoyable and very insightful.

The teacher training was very useful and prepared me for starting my teaching journey in a Thai School and gave me an insight into Thai Culture and Thai Customs.

Once I finished my contract and returned home, I have been able to use Kids English Thailand as a reference for my futre job applications and they have always responded to every refrence request for me.

I am grateful for Kids English Thailand and their support from beginning to end.

Pros
  • Pre-Departure Support
  • Teacher Training Program
  • 24/7 support incase of emergencies

Highly recommend

Wrote coming to Thailand KET was very helpful and provided a lot of information. After arriving in Thailand and finishing my quarantine KET arranged for a bus transport to Sukhothai and a training period. It was very informative and a lot of fun! After that they drove me to my school and my accommodation.
They have been helping me with my documents, the school, transport and accommodation. There is no curriculum but KET has provided access to a drive with lesson plans to draw inspiration from. I did wish that I was staying in a bigger city because now I live in a farmers village and there is literally nothing to do here but luckily the big city is only a half hour drive away. I highly recommend this program but maybe be sure to ask for a school in a province city.

Pros
  • Nice people
  • Great learning opportunity
  • Very hot
Cons
  • Small village / boredom
  • Very very hot

Kids English Program

The company made life easy. They assisted with transportation from the airport and maintained communication throughout the whole process. They also offered accommodation during training which made life easy. You are able to rest and walk to the office. Traveling around can be difficult and going to the different offices for work permits etc can be scary. You get assisted with work permits, hospital visits and anything to ease my mind.

All in all I am truly grateful for their excellent work.

Pros
  • Training
  • Education on history of Thailand
  • Friendship
Cons
  • None
  • None
  • None

Kid's English Thailand - A Great Recruitment Agency

Leading up to my arrival in Thailand, Kid's English did an awesome job handling my visa application and placement at a school. They collected all the necessary documents and the visa application went very smoothly.

After arriving in Bangkok, they booked my bus ticket to their Headquarters in Sukhothai, checked up on me, and made sure I was okay every step of the way.

The training programme they provided was solid and has been very useful.

They continue to provide me with excellent support, whenever an issue arises I know they're just a message away.

I would highly recommend using the Kid's English Thailand agency if you are considering teaching in Thailand. They're an amazing team and the move here would undoubtedly have been more difficult without their assistance.

Pros
  • Friendly team
  • Excellent support

KET do an amazing job to help you settle in to a new culture and country

Everyone there' is so willing to help you and they want to get to know you. It's a great introduction to a new culture and country, they tell you the do's and dont's to be a part of the culture! They connect you with a lot of people who are working/already live in the province your going to so you never feel too alone or lost. Its a great touch as they will take you out to visit the temple ruins in Sukhothai and take you out for a classic Thai meal.

Top experience and the staff were brilliant!

Pros
  • Outstanding staff
  • Takes all your worries away
  • They will help you with anything and everything
Cons
  • Two days was not long enough

Could not recommend this programme enough

KET have been with me and my partner every step of the way, even before the flight. They made the dreaded VISA process easy, and they were on hand with any issues with documentation. Any worries I had about the process of training to be a TEFL were taken care of and I could focus on the important stuff- teaching skills, and enjoying myself.

They are a company that cares about helping people develop their professional skillset and I would highly recommend this programme. Even if you don’t want to make teaching your career, challenging yourself with the support of these guys is the most fun you could have.

Pros
  • Support throughout entire placement
  • Demystified Thai culture and the process with many day-to-day tasks
  • My partner has a nut allergy and they went above and beyond in ensuring we wouldn’t have any issues with allergens during our time in Thailand
Cons
  • Whistle stop tour of class content
  • Thai lessons (whilst extremely enjoyable) had some unnecessary overlap in content
  • These are all I can think of, but I just wanted more!!
