Teaching in Thailand will change your life!!

I initially signed up for the CIEE Teach Abroad in Thailand program with very little knowledge of the education system in Thailand. I was nervous about the differences between teaching in the states versus teaching in an entirely different country (where English is not the native language). I even almost didn't continue this path, because of those nerves and fears. I urge you to NOT let those fears win!! Teaching in Thailand has been an amazing experience. I have met life long friends through this program in my fellow CIEE teachers and teachers at my school. I have also had the privilage of getting to teach very young students (4-6 year olds) - which I had never done before. But through my CIEE TEFL training and the training I received from OEG staff, and my fellow teachers, I felt better prepared. And now I love teaching this age group, they are extremely fun!
