Program Reviews

The content of the course was excellent, every bit of it was useful and practical. All of the sessions were very well prepared and informative. I learned more in that one month than I would have learned going to college for three years. I received great feedback that helped me improve and build confidence. The course was challenging but the staff made the whole process very easy so that all you have to focus on is teaching.The TEFL staff are all supportive, experienced and highly qualified. The trainers gave us a toolbox of resources and ideas, helped us with the lesson plans and gave innovative techniques for dealing with stressful situations teachers are often faced with. I feel confident and capable while applying for jobs. The staff gives general and personal job support. All the anxiety of beginning my first teaching job was alleviated upon completion of the course.

As a first time traveler I was a bit apprehensive about going abroad alone for the first time but I could not have been in safer hands! The staff were absolutely incredible from day one, answered all my questions (no matter how silly, and there were a lot of silly ones!) and were consistently helpful throughout my stay. The TEFL course was a lot to cram in but definitely worth the effort as it made the first day of school a lot less daunting. The best part was meeting other people in the same boat as me on the course and keeping in touch throughout my time in China, I never felt alone and I know I have made friends for life! We were given support regarding visas and other paperwork throughout which made the whole process a lot less of a headache. Definitely cannot recommend this enough, for anyone who is thinking of making the leap just go for it! Big shout out to everyone that helped make this adventure happen!!! Onto the next one!!

Was a little hesitant going into this as I’ve never lived abroad before, but the staff here made me feel welcome and having many people the same nationality around me helped me settle in big time. After that, I got support for my job and any minor problems I had adjusting. China is quite like most other places despite what you hear. Big cities all have nightlife, clubs to join (football, basketball etc) and people just like you who are willing to get lost in order to find themeselves. With this program you get stability and a good base to start your new life off with. I immediately knew I’d stay for a second year, and likely even a third. Thanks to the staff who have made this possible. And thanks to everyone who I know here who gave me a new home! Can’t wait to start my second year. Thanks for everything, and here’s to second amazing year in China!

Fantastic. The staff were very professional and eager to assist. I couldn't have asked for better. A friend first recommended this program to me, and I decided to try it out. There are many similar programs all promising the same thing, but this course really was different and they made sure they did everything possible to help out. The content was relevant, materials were recent and well composed, assistance was available, and the training was conducted by experienced professionals who knew their stuff. After the course, we were carefully evaluated and given good advice to help steer us in the right path. I highly recommend this course and their staff members. If you are considering this, feel free to contact me for my personal overview.

Very supportive. From pickup to dropoff they take care of you and make sure all of your affairs are in order. I was given their number, and they texted me every couple of hours on the bus. I was boarded at a place two minutes away from their office. And they made sure everything was ready for my first day at the school, from transportation to accomodation. Super friendly, but exact. Highly recommended. The place I was boarded was a little out of the way, but clean plus wifi. The food pickings are slim at the location, but there was a Friday night market, and town is a short 5 minute car ride away. The night market is on the smaller scale but a lot of fun, and bargaining is encouraged. All in all, great company to be taken into. Great job, guys.

I came to Thailand last year (2018) and got a job working through Kids-English Thailand in Phichit Province May of that year. Prior to that, the company had graciously provided me with free accommodation near their offices in the city of Sukhothai at no cost while waiting for my placement. If I had to summarize everything up by that action, I would say that working for Kids- English is great, and they help take away some of the hassle living in a foreign country, so that you can experience the positives of Thailand and the joys of teaching.
Kids-English is very accommodating, and I met teachers from all different backgrounds, and countries. As long as you meet the basic requirements as dictated by Thailand's government to be able to teach, you will have no problem at all. They will process your paperwork, help you find housing, and help you adjust to teaching in a Thai school. Making a move to a foreign country is hectic, but Kids-English will help you the best they can. I wholly enjoyed my experience working in Phichit province through their company.

I have been living and teaching in Tak, Thailand for a year now and I feel extremely grateful for my placement, school and agency. Tak is a small town located 6 hours north of Bangkok and 4 hours south of Chiang Mai. It has everything you need; a department store, plenty of aesthetic restaurants and cafes, multiple markets, a beautiful river lined by mountains that flows through the center of town, national parks nearby, a bus station for easy traveling, a few bars and even a dance club. My experience in this town was a bit of an adjustment at first but now I am a regular at my favorite coffee shop, my order is memorized at the papaya salad stand and the night market and I attend the local yoga class 2 nights a week. After some time and adjustment, it was easy to feel at home here.

This program is perfect for anyone looking for a real authentic experience in an entirely different environment. Someone who wants to fully immerse themselves in a new culture/way of life. A slow paced life with opportunity to travel on the weekends/holidays.

The community of teachers in the area is fantastic. Our agent includes us all in a group chat so we can keep in touch with each other as well as support each other and ask each other questions. Our agent also organizes fun activities for us constantly to bring us together such as dinner parties, hiking trips and local events/festivals. There is a strong sense of community between foreign teachers in the area.

Teaching has easily been the most fulfilling part of the entire experience. Thai students are incredibly fun and even more adorable. They will steal your heart with their smiles and their constant joy. The program prepares you well, but it should be expected that you will have to settle into your own teaching style/routine once you arrive at your placement school based on your students' proficiency and grade level.

Overall, I feel lucky to have had an authentic experience living and working in Thailand. Making Thai friends, learning a little bit of the language, and adapting to the small-town Thai lifestyle. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in having a real authentic cultural experience.

Teaching in a small province called Sukhothai was one of the most incredibly awesome experiences I've had in Thailand. Apart from having polite students at school, the local people were warm too. They offered me to try authentic homemade Thai dishes many times. I felt at home. I felt very welcomed.

Additionally, Sukhothai is considered as the cradle of Thai civilization. It has so many interesting places to visit. One is the Historical Park where dozens of well preserved and restored monuments dating back to the 13th until 15th centuries can be found. Thai art and architecture were born here as well.

So if you want to experience the same, I highly recommend Kids English. They gave me amazing support during the transition, helped me find nice accommodation, and my visa and working permit were arranged in a timely manner too. I couldn't ask for a better agent. They are simply amazing!

My time in Thailand has been fantastic. I was placed in a small town called Tak, which is between Bangkok and Chiang Mai meaning that I was able to travel on the weekends to see my friends in other cities. My town was great! It was a very quiet place near the mountains, river and surrounded by rice paddies. Nevertheless, the town was filled with cute cafes and great places to hang out at on the weekends. I felt like in my short time in Thailand I was able to get a really authentic experience of living here.

Teaching in my placement school has been such a fun and interesting experience. I get to be creative with my lessons and my classrooms come with many resources such as microphones, projectors and speakers which allows me to make my lessons more fun. My colleagues are very friendly and always there for me. I was also given the opportunity to mentor a debating club and go around Thailand to various debating competitions which we won!

Kids English offered great support for my transition to Thailand. They helped me to find my way to my town, picked me up from the bus station and arranged accommodation for me on the day. I received a 24/7 emergency support from my agent which really took my mind off things. I would 100% recommend Kids English to anyone who considers teaching in Thailand. It will save you money and you will still get the same level of support as you do from other recruitment agencies. 22

It has been great. The location I was placed in has great transport routes to some great areas. Sukhothai is close for anyone who wants to see some history, Chiang Mai for if you are here for Songkran or if you want to go to a big, vibrant city. Pai, Chiang Rai and more cities are close by too. Over the school holidays, there is plenty of time to go further distances or the islands. Tak (where I am placed) has beautiful nature all around from mountain hikes to hidden waterfalls (give it a google search).

The support has been great. I have not had any problems. Accommodation is given to you and you are given detailed walkthroughs for things such as renewing Visas and other important official documents. No matter what question you have, time and care is taken into making sure you get a comprehensive answer to your problem.

It is also a great way to get a guaranteed job with a decent pay, so you don't have to worry about any of that.
