Program Reviews

I spent a year teaching at a primary school in Lampang, Thailand (near Chiang Mai) and had an amazing experience. The KET staff gave great cultural training, teaching advice, and set up a visit to a local school so the new teachers could do a practice lesson before entering our year-long assignments. The staff at my school set me up for success and welcomed me to Thailand both at school and during their free time. Outside of school time, I was able to travel locally and beyond with other teachers in my city. My boyfriend and I went to Thailand together and KET was able to place us in the same city and help us find accommodation ten minutes from both of our schools. I made great friends, ate great food, and would go back to Thailand in a heartbeat!

Matthew has been incredibly supportive in the build up to coming to Thailand. He gives very detailed information and his response time is incredibly fast (especially considering time differences). The group orientation we had in Sukothai was very informative, useful and fun. The KET Thai Team are also happy, friendly and helpful. The orientation also included cultural activities like a Thai language class, Thai cooking class, Songkran festival in Sukothai, and a welcome dinner! It was a great way of adjusting to Thai lifestyle and meeting other teachers in the same position as you.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Kids English Team on the orientation. The team went above and beyond and were extremely accommodating to our needs. The lessons we were taught by both Matthew and the Thai team were incredibly valuable to our time in Thailand moving forward. My partner and I both viewed Matthew as not only an inspirational character but a friend whom we would feel comfortable to confide in. We both made friends who we intend to meet again as we share this unique and incredible journey in Thailand. We would absolutely recommend this agency to anyone who wanted to pursue a career in teaching in Thailand.

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

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.

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.

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.

They are very nice ,and the food is so good , I love the people very approachable and of course the place is beautiful lots of fun so many tourist go here because the place is lovely.i won't forget this place there culture are very nice the respect of each other is nice to. That's I recommend this place because of people who is very genuine and generosity of people is always there wherever you go that's why I love this country . That's all I love stay here for so long because of food and culture.

My experience with KET was a positive one, and I’d recommend the company to anybody looking to teach abroad in Thailand. The company are accessible, open and efficient in handling any concerns or queries and take pride in ensuring your Thailand experience is the best one possible. They’re open to answering any questions and from the moment you arrive at training, they aim to assist you in terms of cultural adaptation, classroom management and much more. Whether you’re new or experienced to the ESL world, or interested in life in Thailand, I’d recommend KET - Matt and the team are extremely supportive!

The support from KET is amazing, they support you through the whole process. You’ll meet some amazing people and get to live and experience the fabulous culture of Thailand. 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.
