KE Experience

The whole experience has really been a blessing. I am thankful for all the people I was able to meet and the things I was able to do.
I was first introduced to the culture and the people during my time in the initial beginning. Customs are different. Perspectives differ but respect is very much essential.
The importance of education, with regards to teaching and learning, is also very important.
Although there are points where the differences are great our similarities and appreciation for each other is something that will continue to share.

Pros
  • The Experience
  • Food
  • Safety
Cons
  • Things are nit always what they seem
  • Honest Critique

Teaching Abroad

Well my teaching experience has been nothing but amazing so far. Everyone at the school has been very helpful and the students are wonderful and kind. You have good days and bad days with teaching which you learn from both and can improve on day by day. My journey has been unique as this is my first teaching job and I had no idea what to expect. The advice I would give to any future teacher is to jump in the deep end and you will learn how to swim. At first it is daunting but you will land on your feet and your journey will work out on its own.

Pros
  • Thailand Lifestyle
  • The students
  • The teachers
Cons
  • Sometimes a lot of work
  • Organisational issues at times
  • Weekend work

KET

The moment we arrived at the training site we were welcomed and greeted with open arms. All the staff members were nice and had answers to many questions that us new teachers had ( and there was a lot of questions). Training was 5 days and everyday was filled with information, great food, and adventure. I loved how hands on this staff was with us 7 teachers. We stayed on the same street of the training building so there was no hassle to get there in the morning. We were quiet a group but it was fun.

Pros
  • thai cooking class
  • afternoon spent at a temple, riding bikes
  • English camp where we did a day of activities at a local school

KET Placement

Having worked in the service industry for a couple of decades, I can honestly say, Matthew John and his team at KET are of the highest calibre. Organized, efficient, extremely friendly, very helpful, incredibly supportive and also very informative. Nothing is too much effort!
Having taught overseas in the past, my previous transition would have gone much more smoothly if I had had the support and guidance of a team like KET Pacements. I recommend them without any reserve. Thank you, Matt and Team!!!

Pros
  • KET is reliable.
  • Professional
  • Friendly and Supportive.

Pleasant people, assistance and guidance when needed!

I found KET through my TEFL course job center and applied directly to the agency - highly sceptical at first with tons of question but everything was answered and i willingly put my trust in this company to help me find a teaching job abroad.

I’ve had a very pleasant experience with KET but i will say, it does take the right mentality to make this huge transition easy peasy, and i’m so happy i felt prepared! I’ve met wonderful people through this program and shared experiences with everyone so my absolute best advice will be, do your research! apply directly to KET as you will have more transparency and the team can help you in so many more ways!

i feel like im thriving in my new town and loving every new experience im getting! KET really made the transition of moving abroad easy and bearable to thank you 😌

Pros
  • Orientation week
  • Support and guidance after placement
  • inexpensive program
Cons
  • the bus ride from bangkok was hell, sorry
  • you make great friends during orientation and they’re placed far away :(

My Journey with KET

I was a bit skeptic at the beginning of my journey. When I first got an e-mail from KET, I was wondering if going to Thailand & teaching under this program will be worth it & yet here I am having the best time of my life & that’s all thanks to KET. I haven’t tried working in another country before & to be honest, going out of my comfort zone (the Philippine) isn’t an easy decision to make, but I took the risk. Luckily, KET, especially Matt helped me throughout my journey. I cannot thank KET enough for the help they’ve given to me & the opportunity as well.

Pros
  • Thailand has the kindest people you can ever meet.
  • Food and breathtaking sceneries that Thailand can offer you.
Cons
  • Language barrier

KET

So, you must learn to be flexible. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but if you are used to rigid time tables and thrive in that, this may not be for you. However, everyone is friendly and helpful. They do their best to help you. You can exceed greatly if you put in the effort.

The students are friendly. They want to like you. You make enough to travel on breaks around Thailand. You can have whichever adventure you want to take available in Thailand. The scenery is beautiful.

I will never regret coming to Thailand and teaching here.

Pros
  • Great support
  • Everyone is friendly
  • You gain valuable experience
Cons
  • You must learn to be flexible

KET english program

First I wanna talk about why I gave a 3 for fun! it depends on your definition of fun! my town was very social, there were lots of things to do around it, the kids were so fun, but it lacked a night life scene of course. I was in Phicit . it’s great to save money. However, you have access by train to go to chiang mai or bangkok if you really need to have your night time fun or try out different foods! Just want to put that out there if making friends with other people your age 21-25 is important to you because it’s a bit difficult to do in smaller areas, but you can always make younger friends again in the city and see them on the weekends!

Other than that, it was such an amazing experience to teach these kids and learn the language and culture. it was stress free for the most part when it came to paperwork and stuff because the program deals with all of that for you and if you have any questions it’s PERFECT.! very kind people and check in occasionally, but super easy to reach if you need anything. Definitely recommend them if it’s your first or even second time teaching . it’s so lovely and if i could do it all over again I would!

Pros
  • Time off
  • Access to beautiful places
  • Kind people
Cons
  • communication from school sometimes very late
  • not many cons really!
