Program Reviews

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!

This company is sooooooo amazing!!!!!! They have helped me in so many ways I can’t explain. I will be telling all of my friends about this company! Such a great help! I am so happy that I found this company!!!! Everyone at this company is super friendly and very accommodating! I am so excited to introduce the company to many of my friend and family members!!!! They are amazing at helping you find what’s right for you! They are extremely reliable and are always available when you need them! I will be sure to spread the word about this company to anyone looking for new opportunities to try you MUST venture out to www.kidsenglishthailand.org they are definitely one of the best companies I have ever worked with!!!! You will not regret giving them a try!!!!!

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.

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.
