Review

I never taught before so I was a little bit worried when starting this program but the agency had many lessons plans available to draw inspiration from and the school was very helpful and patient. It was a school on the countryside so the English level was very low and many students weren't interesting in learning English. I told the school my concerns and they suggested playing esl games instead of just teaching. In hindsight I'm not sure if all the students were able to improve their English but the students who worked hard came to me on their own volition to ask questions and advice with projects and competitions. I was able to really have fun with the students and bond with them and I miss them very much, even outside of the classroom and played beachvolleyball with a group of students regularly. There weren't many restaurants or bars in my village so I had to drive to the next city (30 min) but I was able to enjoy the slow life and travel frequently all over Thailand and it is truly a breathtakingly beautiful country. It was an unforgettable experience and I'm really proud and happy that I did this.

Would you recommend this program?
