Teaching in Thailand with TFT

My experience with TFT so far has been incredibly positive. Some of my favourite moments include the TFT meet-up and night out, which instantly made me feel part of a community, and the amazing competition day at my school when more than 35 secondary schools came together for English contests. Seeing my students shine was a real highlight.

That’s not to say the first month has been without challenges. I had never taught before, and moving halfway across the world felt overwhelming at times. But the support I received—from TFT, my fellow teachers, and the local community—made the transition so much easier. Whenever I felt uncertain, someone was always there to guide me.

I’ve learned so much already: about teaching, about Thailand, and about myself. Each lesson helps me grow more confident, and I can feel myself becoming a better teacher day by day. This journey is shaping me in ways I didn’t expect, pushing me to be more adaptable, patient, and open-minded.

TFT has played a huge role in making this experience meaningful, and I’m genuinely grateful for their continued support. I’m excited to see how the rest of this adventure unfolds.
