A consistently reliable and comprehensive employer

Sine is an excellent entry-level education company. All lessons and equipment are prepared for you in advance, tailored to the general level of English at your placement school, and designed to be approachable and engaging for a wide range of teaching experiences. Comprehensive classroom training is also offered in multiple formats, and answers to all other inquiries are only one short email away.

The management is extremely personable and ready and willing to assist you with your international transition before, during, and after arrival. You will never feel alone and left out to dry, even after many years of working there. All concerns are listened to and addressed fairly and with consideration to the difficulties of living and working abroad.

Visas, work permits, 90 day reporting, and all other matters of paperwork related to employment are paid for and handled by longtime industry professionals. All salaries and bonuses are paid promptly, consistently, and on-time without fail - the company's bookkeeping is impeccable by all global standards.

Overall, the entire hiring process and working experience is incredibly smooth and painless. None of the work comes home with you after school and you are free to enjoy the many wonders that Thailand has to offer without the shadow of lesson planning looming over your shoulder.

Teacher

Working as a TCP (Total conversation program) teacher is way easier than I expected. The teaching resources provided doesn't requires addition preparing and planning. Teachers task in the classroom is more of facilitator. You get to interact with young minds in different levels(grades) that subsequently helps you explore different skills and learn many new things everyday. Most lessons in the course are simple which helps learners understands quicker and knowing how fast your students learns from you is a best treat and daily motivation.

Pros
  • Easy lessons
  • Ready-made lessons
  • cover class bonus
Cons
  • Same level students are put in one class (High achievers in first classroom and lower achiever in last classrooms)
  • Some schools only have fans in the classrooms than air conditioners
  • Not all the school have same rules. Some schools requires foreign teachers to do canteen duties, flag ceremony and gate duties.

A Great Easy Life Awaits

I've worked with SINE for a year now, and its been great. 3 years ago after "burning the candle at both ends," I decided to move abroad to make a new life. It was definitely a rocky start. After a few hiccups; freezing Mongolia, and not being paid for 4 months in Vietnam, I ended up in Thailand. Thailand is an amazing, affordable, friendly country that allows for a great life. And SINE provides the support to make that happen. The lessons are easy, the students funny and the staff there to help.

Pros
  • No Lesson Planning
  • VISA Support
  • Good Pay
Cons
  • Not Speaking Thai
  • Learning "Sabai Sabai"
  • Cost of imported Beef

Management is very professional, yet easily approachable. They don't treat you like some expendable employee. They genuinely care about the people they employ. They know your kids' names and they ask about your family and how you're getting along. Honestly, these have been some of the best people that I have ever had the pleasure of working for.

Pros
  • The lessons are premade and all of the necessary equipment is provided by the company.
  • The staff is helpful and always available.
  • Excellent for people new to teaching.
Cons
  • I didn't experience any cons.
