In the eye of the beholder.

When I was first contacted by KET, I was nervous, skeptical, scared, and a bunch of other emotions were going through me. Matthew and his team made the move as seamless as a move could be.

During my time at KET, I felt valued. I had support 24/7. The kids are amazing and phenomenal. They are quite respectful and I will miss them immensely. They are what makes teaching worthwhile. It's quite magical when a kid tells you that they like learning with you.

During my exit, they were able to give me tips and support, even after I chose to leave them

Review of Kids English Thailand

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Kids English Thailand for their exceptional assistance in facilitating my journey to Thailand as an English teacher. Their unwavering support and dedication throughout the documentation process made my transition to Lampang smooth and enjoyable. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and patience.
The training provided by Kids English Thailand was impeccable. I felt thoroughly prepared, thanks in large part to Mathew's invaluable assistance. Nothing came as a surprise, and I was able to step into my role with confidence, all thanks to the comprehensive training provided by KET.
My experience in Thailand has been nothing short of extraordinary. As they say, Thailand truly is the "Land of Smiles." The locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to immerse oneself in the rich culture and vibrant atmosphere. From breathtaking natural landscapes to delectable cuisine, Thailand offers a plethora of experiences to explore.
The weather in Thailand is perfect, with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine year-round. This, coupled with the delicious local cuisine, makes every day a delight for the senses. Additionally, I have been thoroughly impressed by the level of respect and admiration the children here have for their teachers. It's heartwarming to see such enthusiasm for learning and education.
In conclusion, I am immensely grateful to Kids English Thailand for providing me with this incredible opportunity to teach in Thailand. My experience thus far has been nothing short of amazing, and I would wholeheartedly recommend any teacher considering a move to Thailand to partner with Kids English Thailand. Thank you once again for making this experience possible.

My experience with KET helping me after leaving Thailand

Hiya,
I wanted to write this review to tell anyone considering teaching abroad that the experience is really lifechanging and has helped me to figure out what I want from my future career. Since I left my teaching job with Kids English Thailand, I have been looking for other teaching roles in Japan, China, and the USA. The team at KET has been incredible in helping me with references for all of these applications, regardless of how many I keep asking for. But the best part is that every interviewer I've had recently has been incredibly impressed by my experience abroad. Furthermore I've been able to give in-depth, real answers to the classic interview questions like "how have you had to overcome challenges?" or "what's something in your career that you've been really proud of".

Overall I would really recommend teaching with KET because the experience is unforgettable and regardless of the job you're looking for afterwards, the things you learn will definitely help you.

What was your funniest moment?
my second day of teaching happened to fall on the school Halloween party. My thai colleagues painted my face and dyed my hair to look like the joker and I went on to teach maths all day, whilst scaring the pants off my students!
Pros
  • Responsive staff
  • Great pay
  • Incredible lifestyle

Thai Tales

Although I had experienced some challenging times leading up to my placement in Tak, Thailand, it was all a distant memory the second I was greeted by the kind and affable staff members. I was lucky enough to arrive just in time to enjoy the lovely Loy Krathong festival with them. We poured ourselves in traditional Thai garb and enjoyed the night away. I was then taken to Tak where I have since been teaching. The students have been a joy to work with and the Thai staff have been equally amazing. Although I'm fairly new here, I'm positive that this is going to be a memorable experience.

Pros
  • Friendly and kind people.
  • Food is amazing
  • Cost of living is reasonable.
Cons
  • Delayed communication

The children you interact with are so grateful to have you in their classrooms. It’s doesn’t matter how old you are, just do it. You’ll make life long memories and friendships. You will need set up funds to set yourself up comfortably and get visas and permits. The lifestyle is relaxed and the locals are really friendly. The work is easy and fun.

Great experience

An overall great program.
There were no problems regarding bureaucracy and other issues associated with working abroad. The management guided and assisted me with everything: getting to/from the office, my visa application, and basically all the paperwork. Even finding accommodation.
The pay is great, considering the fact you would be working outside of major cities. You'd be able to afford a lot and be able to travel to other places during holidays.
The school I was placed at is one of the best in the province. However, even there the quality of the students may greatly vary, and the lack of a proper curriculum makes things tough. But on the bright side, the school's management turned out to be very lax which allows for a more creative approach to planning your lessons.

Pros
  • Helpful management
  • Decent pay
  • Training before moving your assigned school
Cons
  • It takes some time to adjust to how things are done here
