Open Book Teachers

I was introduced to Openbook by a friend, and over the past year and a half, my experience with them has been exceptional. I highly recommend Openbook to anyone seeking teaching opportunities in Thailand. My time with the company has been rewarding, and I'm grateful for the chance to have worked alongside such a supportive team. They helped with relocation and settling in, as well as navigating visa and work permit processes. The team's dedication and assistance were invaluable. I must extend a special thank you to the manager at Openbook, she is the absolute best. She consistently went above and beyond to help when I had questions or needed help. Without hesitation, I recommend Openbook to all aspiring teachers

Traveling 6,000km and getting dropped in a different part of the world is always risky and scary. But Openbook made efforts to create a safe environment for me, from start till today.

I especially want to say my words of appreciation for the Visa team. They were extremely professional, and despite different hurdles with the documents, they managed to do everything on time, stayed in touch with me, explained things to me, guided me.

I'm loving the experience! And from what I've heard about other agencies, Openbook may probably be the most drama-free, scam-free and fair agency here in Thailand.

There are some things to work on, however. Communication and transparency with employees is one of them. Otherwise, everything is good.

Landed in Thailand (Phuket) on 25th february 2020, my initial plan was to visit the south for a few weeks then fly to Vietnam before heading back to Ireland around april. Then covid hit and despite anyone advice I decided to stay, I just though it would be over within 2-3 months...but.. A few weeks later every country had shut down, I was voluntarily stranded but was not really worry as I had enough funds to live in Thailand . Eventually in june I had to find a job as my funds were gone so ended up teaching english as many other travelers had recommended me, it was basically my only option anyway. I found a great school in a town 2 hours from Bangkok with Openbook where I taugh english until april 2021. It has been a rewarding experience, allowing me to discover a new career in the teaching world which I plan to continue at the end of the year in Vietnam this time.Openbook team organised my placement, my visa, accommodation, my moped and even took the time to cheer me up (especially Jonathon) when I needed a boost at the very beginning while my confidence was near null. I never taugh before so was quite nervous at first but I love teaching now and during these few months I actually learned more than I taught.

I really enjoyed my time in Thailand, thanks to Open Book Teachers team and their support!!! Thailand is such a nice place... People are easy going and very friendly, the cheap food is delicious and landscapes are stunning from North to South.
I recommend to anyone thinking of teaching abroad after the whole covid situation to try Thailand and moreover to teach with Open Book Teachers, I started with a 5-month contract and extended it till March this year, I went back home just in time before the lockdown. They assisted me with everything from day 1: housing, transportation, visa etc.. . and it definitely made my year a lot easier and stress-free. Loved it!

I had the best time there and I can't wait to be able to go back. I was teaching English in a high school in Chonburi city which is located on the coast (1,5 hour from Bangkok), I signed for a 5-month contract (Oct'19-Feb'20) and everything went as expected... I can only recommend this program to anyone thinking of teaching in Thailand, their team is dedicated and friendly and this is a must when you are travelling abroad alone! Unfortunately for me, I had to leave 3 weeks before my contract ended as the COVID 19 outbreak started getting serious in Thailand, but openbook understood totally and told me I could be back whenever I wanted.
