Thailand teaching placement GoToCo

I did around 2 months on a GoToCo program teaching English in Thailand. We spent about 1 week altogether doing local activities and workshops based on the course. I really enjoyed the first week and getting to know everyone on the program and the program staff. At the end of the week we got our first stipend and told where we will be going to teach and what groups we would be in. I believe there could have been a little more of a personal effort from the staff so that there was more consideration as to who would be placed with who when we were sent off to our placements. Whilst on placement I didn’t enjoy the accomodation, so I paid for my own accommodation. There were some good suggestions on where to pick from the XploreAsia team.

I really enjoyed getting to know the local area and teaching my students. I was teaching in Chiang mai Thailand at a language school.

All in all I very much enjoyed my experience. I just think I would’ve felt more supported by my placement staff if the communication before during and after my placement was a little better and personable.
