Professional service

10 out of 10. Great service, always in touch, no fine print. Very nice and helpful people. All the people in stuff are very friendly, Matthew provided some reliable insights into the Thai life. All contracts and agreements are negotiated before signing, no playing around the bush. Also was surprised by safety standards - everything is safe, people are friendly, no petty crime. The finish-corse tour is a story of its own - team shows you ancient capital, and other places amusing places. Good stuff

Amazing Experience!

Kids English not only provides a great opportunity to jumpstart your career as a teacher in Thailand but also introduces you to the country's culture and puts you through a training that prepares you to face any challenges in terms of culture clash, work environment, and everyday life in the new environment. Very professional approach but also a super friendly atmosphere. The staff is extremely nice and helpful.

The school that hired me is located in Lamphun, a small town outside of Chiang Mai. I got a warm welcome and was swiftly introduced to the place by fellow teachers.

All in all, it's a truly fantastic experience!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Equip yourself with a lot of patience as the pace of life is a bit slower and people are more laid-back than in most other places.

Kids English

I would like to first mention what a great, well-connected program for a teaching experience in Northern Thailand! I found a great school in Lampang and was supported throughout my experience there. Whenever I had a question or concern, it was dealt with the same day and felt that if anything were to happen, they had my back. That support is everything and it can make or break an experience abroad. Not to mention, they were lovey individuals doing good for the people and students of Thailand. If I were to come back to Thailand, I would definitely come back to Kids English!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I would say the most surprising thing I saw was all the smiles from everyone seeing me try to speak Thai and immerse deeply into the community I was living in.

Kids English Thailand

Matt and his team over at Kids English are brilliant! They are fully supportive from your first phone call, throughout the entire placement. They made the daunting prospect of moving country and starting a career as a teacher so easy and smooth. They continue to provide support with lesson planning, accommodation and any day to day general queries I may have.

If you are considering a teaching career abroad I can’t recommend Matt and Kids English enough, give them a ring and start your journey!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Organising flights, COE, visa and quarantine! Was definitely the most nerve-racking experience.

Kid's English Thailand is a great professional agency that looks after its clients. They helped me a lot throughout the whole process of searching for a job, getting hired, and going through the necessary paperwork of becoming legally employed. Thanks a lot for that! Honestly speaking, I was really impressed by the level of their service as it was just brilliant and faultless throughout. Great staff, always followed through with promises. If you're looking for a job as an English teacher in Thailand, these guys will definitely help you! Big thumbs up!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Thai food is really food. But the most unusual thing that I tried was fried insects

About Kid's English Thailand

I teach English, Science and Health in Thailand.

I was dropped off by the KET team in my city after 5 days of training, they also processed my paperwork properly, and I have got my visa extension for 1 year. By choosing KET, you don't have to worry about your paperwork just bring all necessary documents with you.

I can only say, that you can be sure that teaching job in Thailand is completely legal, you have nothing to worry about, just need to follow the instructions from KET's team and your school.

Even if you can find something uncomfortable, because of the culture and etc, just give another chance to this country.

P. S. In case of any issues with your school, you can be sure that KET's team will take care of you, and help with everything.

Excellant

The staff are professional and friendly. They made my transition from South Africa to Thailand smooth and stress free. I was picked up at the airport, delicious meals were provided, sim card was arranged, all paper work was taken care of and driven to their centre were I was immersed in a 3 day training course which gave me perspective on Thai culture and what to expect when teaching Thai students. They assist with getting me an awesome apartment and the school that I am currently teaching at is a delight. I had a great experience. Highly recommended !

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
When I went to the open air Thai market I saw tortoises for sale, lets just say they were not selling them as pets :)

Thailand adventure

Absolutely cannot put into words what an awesome experience I had in Thailand. I chose to study the TEFL abroad as I was a lone traveler and thought it would be a good way to meet people- I'm so glad I chose this option as the people I met along the way really made the trip for me! I was both excited and apprehensive about teaching outside of a main city but the placement could not have been better. The staff were fully supportive the whole time and added so much to the whole experience. I felt like I had an authentic Thai experience without being thrown in the deep end to fend for myself. All questions were answered, support was given for visas and work permits and I felt like I always had someone to turn to. Fully recommend this to anyone considering!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Myself and some friends visited a beautiful temple where we saw many monks- one of which was covered head to toe in tattoos! Not really sure what I was expecting but not that! I wanted to take a photograph but didn't want to be rude. It was quite a surprise.

Experience Thailand via the Professionals.

Starting to plan your adventure in Thailand can be a daunting task. If planned correctly, this will be one of the best experiences of your life, the emphasis here is on the word 'plan'. The team at Teach & Discover Thailand made this process as streamline as possible, providing me with all the knowledge I needed before arriving in Bangkok. There are little things that make a huge differences in the Thai culture. These simple gestures or ways of addressing the Thai people can make the world of difference to your experience in Thailand. All of this was explained to me in great detail and before I stepped on the plane, I was ready for whatever Thailand may bring. The most important aspect of this program is the constant support from the team. When it comes to navigating the language and visas, they have you covered. When it comes to setting you up in your new school and surroundings, they have you covered! They took care of everything which allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. I cannot stress enough just how important it is to have a knowledgeable team to take care of you doing your time in the land of smiles. I trusted the team at Teach & Discover Thailand and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
You will encounter many nerve-racking moments in Thailand as the culture, landscape, food and people will all be very unfamiliar. This program and the people involved made me feel at ease every step of the way. They are always available to assist, advise or handle any and all questions or queries that you may have. I met numerous people involved in programs across Thailand and after a few conversations regarding their services and support, I quickly realized that I was apart of the right program!
