The Fewer Things Reviews

It took me years to convince me to teach abroad as I didn’t feel confident that I could do it but more importantly finding trust from an organisation to guide me into teaching abroad. I came across The Fewer Things on social media after a really bad time in winter lockdown and as soon as I spoken to the team member especially Jaemi, I immediately felt reassured and felt I was in good hands from the start.

What makes The Fewer Things unique is the endless amount of support on documents for pre-departure, reassurance on travelling during covid times and advice on overcoming obstacles, I honestly couldn’t be more happier thanks for the hard work they did to help me achieve my goal!

I now live and work in the most beautiful area of North West Thailand with friendly and helpful locals and working in a job that I feel I can say “I love what I do!”
Best decision I’ve ever made!

Travelling during the pandemic definitely made it really difficult but i can say now, it was all worth it. Jaemi is honestly a god send. He made a very difficult process straightforward by providing support and guidance. And he is also available to speak whenever, which is helpful because sometimes the questions come at the most random times. Im currently in Shanghai& Im super excited for the year ahead! I will be teaching middle school students & im really glad i decided to join this programme!

With all the regulations in place to enter China during the pandemic, it all seemed pretty daunting at first. However, with the constant support and help from Jaemi at The Fewer Things, I was able to get through the process! I cannot stress enough how Jaemi has always been a message or a call away throughout the whole process, even after we arrived in China!
If you are hesitating to applying to The Fewer Things, then hesitate no longer! It was the best decision I could have made to start the next chapter of my life😊

I decided to come to China in September of 2020 with the intention to come out in August 2021, and I made it out in September 2021. It was a year of hard work and lots of planning, especially with COVID-19 making the journey to China incredibly difficult. However, I can confidently say that without TFT I would have never made it here. It is almost impossible to navigate by yourself, and TFT provides all the support you really need to get yourself out here. I have now been living in Shanghai for almost a month which seems crazy! The time has flown. There is so much to see and do, and my list of places to visit only increases every day. My kindergarten is great. Although I am the only foreign teacher working there, they have made me feel welcome and the kids make sure to give me cuddles every day. The weekends are the time to see new things and travel around, and I am planning on doing just that. I feel I am at just the beginning of an amazing year. Thanks Jaemi! Can't wait to start my adventure.

It's a super difficult time to move to China and the process is quite overwhelming, if you don't have the right help. The Fewer Things was amazing! I'm so glad I found them and was able to go through them. Jaemi was super helpful and kind every step of the way. He was very patient and kind with all of my questions. The Fewer Things are well-connected, professional, and so helpful! I highly recommend The Fewer Things to all looking to live and teach in China! Especially now. In such a hard time to move abroad, The Fewer Things is the best program to go with.

It's super hard to get into China during the pandemic but Jaemi at The Fewer Things helped make it possible and has provided support the whole way through. Although things have not always panned out as expected due to changing regulations in China, it has been 100% worth it and so glad I went with The Fewer Things to make it possible. Jaemi still checks in even now we're settled and in the full swing of China life. And if you're worried about having no teaching experience, neither do I! It's very easy going and you soon find your feet with teaching English

The Fewer Things gave me phenomenal support throughout the job placement period during the pandemic. Even during covid, this agency have been very accommodating in finding me a suitable location based on my preferences. Jaemi will work with you to find and check the visa application, quarantine, flights and insurance to ensure a smooth transition to Thailand. The experience so far has been amazing, it is such a blessing to teach and guide Thai students in such a beautiful part of the world. The Thai people are very kind, relaxed and happy people and I am so glad I made the decision to work as an English teacher overseas

I flew out to teach in Thailand in the midst of the pandemic, and I'm so so glad I did. I was looking for an experience that would excite me and push me out of my comfort zone and teaching in Thailand definitely ticked both of those boxes! The teaching was super chill and fun, and every day really was completely different so it was never boring. I've met wonderful people from all over the world whilst teaching here and had so many new experiences, from living in a rural Thai village to swimming in waterfalls and hiking to hidden beaches. I would urge anyone to think about coming to live and teach abroad and I couldn't have chosen a better company to go with. The Fewer Things have been fantastic every step of the way, I came out here with my boyfriend and they were really accommodating to us as a couple. They were really helpful in organising so we could go out together, and found a placement for the two of us in the same school, so they are brilliant whether you want to travel solo or with a partner/friend. Jaemi has been great and has checked in on us regularly whilst in Thailand, he goes above and beyond to ensure your move to living and teaching in Thailand is smooth and stress free, I can't recommend the fewer things enough.
If you're thinking of coming out here, definitely do it!

After being stuck in England during a pandemic and being furloughed, I was looking for a new adventure and came across The Fewer Things (TFT). TFT were so helpful throughout the process of getting out here, taking me step-by-step all the documents and processes I need to completed to get to Thailand. They created group chats with other teachers who were coming out here so we could get to know each other and to provide information and guidance regarding things we needed to do. Overall, TFT were, and continue to be, extremely helpful throughout and are always available if you have questions or concerned. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I decided to apply for The Fewer things in December 2020 and arrived in Thailand just a few weeks ago. The Fewer Things were there every step of the way! Preparing beforehand (and all the extra paperwork due to covid), during travel and once here. Can’t thank them enough for the endless support. The tefl qualification was easy to follow through online and feel prepared ready to teach for my first day this coming week in Prachinburi (the most friendly town!). I had the opportunity to speak to other teachers before travelling via WhatsApp and made friends who were experiencing the same things, alongside helping each other out. I highly recommend The Fewer Things to anyone who wants to have a fantastic tefl experience.
