CIEE not only provides you with a community, but an opportunity to grow as a person

Moving to Thailand has been an experience of self-growth, self-love, patience, and authenticity amongst myself and the relationships around me. CIEE not only provided me with a community of Teachers that can empathize and connect with my experience alone, but knowledge about Thailand and teaching that I would have not been aware of otherwise. I'm not going to sit here and write about how it has been rainbows and unicorns, because it hasn't. It's challenging, the adjustment period is anything but easy, and sometimes the cultural difference can be frustrating. Luckily, I had the community CIEE provided me with, staff members to communicate with, and a platform to rely on to help me through this experience. Not only do they support you in your victories and failures, but they're always willing to communicate with you and answer any questions you need. They are the most helpful, open, and supportive organizations I have ever been a part of. They provide teachers with a platform that helps them through the visa process, getting to Thailand, and all the small details that you never thought you would need to know. I highly recommend this program if you are unknowledgeable about the process for teaching abroad!!
