Thailand rural teaching programme

A highlight of the experience was getting to know all the children that I taught at the school and playing games with them every day. I also enjoyed getting into a routine of teaching, biking around the village and having time to chill. Other fun moments were our cooking and Thai language classes.

I also really enjoyed all the trips we took, like Ayutthaya, the weekend in Phichit with the summer camp, and Bangkok.

I think my time at the school was super unique and enriching on a personal level, and a great experience overall to have been able to have partaken in. I also think the organisation of it was good and clear.

The program has built my confidence massively as I dived straight into teaching and had to take initiative which I might have shied from before. Also, I think it improved my communication skills and increased my open mindset as I responded to and learnt from the cultural differences.
