'Fit' right in

From the moment of my interview with an incredible HR rep, Angel, I knew working for BFITS would be an absolute delight. Every member of the BFITS team, especially my amazing coordinators MJ, Jang, and Nink, treated me with hospitality and kindness which made me feel safe and right at home. Compared to my other colleagues I participated in a TEFL course with, I lucked out with the Cadillac of agencies in Thailand. BFITS takes care of every detail from airport pick-up, accommodation, work permit/visa assistance, and teaching materials.

My time teaching math in Kanaratbamrungpathumthani School definitely presented some challenges because we had the responsibility of implementing a new system, Learntron, into the classroom. Furthermore, the English language ability ranged substantially so just be prepared to demonstrate and break down concepts into simple terms. However, the time I spent being able to teach and interact with such bright students has made my first term teaching in Thailand unforgettable.

Perhaps one of my favorite memories was the opportunity to be Santa Clause at our school's Christmas assembly, I had two giant sackfuls of toys and snacks to throw out to hundreds of screaming students (I finally know how The Beatles felt).

For my send off, Nink and my other colleagues created a photo collage of my time at Kanarat which was absolutely heartfelt and unexpected! If you are looking for an unforgettable teaching experience in Thailand with a company who truly takes you under their wing, choose BFITS.
