HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I have nothing but good words to describe my journey with the BFITS team over the past two years. I started as a cover teacher for 2 months before being offered a regular teaching position. Having been in Thailand for over five years and worked with four different agencies, I can confidently say that BFITS sets the bar high in terms of the benefits and services they provide to their teachers. From a clearly laid-out curriculum to comprehensive assessments and teaching materials, BFITS clearly understands its direction within the educational landscape.
Teachers are given ample opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. As a science teacher, I highly value the support from management, which is crucial for fostering my creativity in implementing engaging learning activities for my students. Fortunately, I have consistently received significant support from the BFITS management regarding the materials I need for my classes. This support enables me to fully implement numerous science activities that facilitate meaningful learning for my students.
If you join the BFITS family, you will surely not regret it.

Work with BFITS

I'm excited to share my positive experience teaching science at Thammasat KhlongLuang Wittayakhom School under BFITS Thailand. The students are not only eager to learn but also show a genuine passion for science, which makes teaching them a joy. The Science team works together so well, creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment. My co-teachers in other subjects have been wonderful partners, helping to create interdisciplinary connections that really enrich our students' education. Our head teacher Ms. Dina and coordinator Ms. Koi provide exceptional leadership and support, making sure both teachers and students have everything they need to succeed. It's truly a privilege to be part of such a dedicated and inspiring community.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments working at THK under BFITS Thailand as a teacher was during our science project on making banana pseudo-stem pollution face masks. As we were demonstrating the process, one of the students accidentally created a giant banana stem hat instead of a mask. The whole class burst into laughter, and we all ended up trying on the "banana hats" before getting back on track with our pollution face masks. It was a hilarious and memorable moment that perfectly showcased the creativity and humor of our students!

Best Experiences in BFITS

I am immensely grateful for this organization for serving me worthwhile experiences in my teaching career. There are a few things I want to highlight in BFITS based on my personal experience with them. Firstly, the amount of support they poured in to their workers is overwhelming. They have such a very established support system wherein workers received tremendous amount of help in carrying out their teaching duties. They are responsive to your needs. They will provide you all kinds of support from preparing teaching materials, sending you to trainings, giving advices and guidance on certain areas, processing your working papers, and a lot more. Secondly, compensation is good and discrimination-free. They will offer you great package of compensation for your hard work without any reference to your race or ethnicity. The working environment they create is inclusive and discrimination-free. This is highly recommended.

Journey from Cover Teacher to Permanent Teacher

Having embarked on my journey at BFITS as a cover teacher, I am immensely thankful for the opportunity they extended to me. Despite not being a native speaker, I was treated with fairness and respect, significantly enriching my teaching experience. The supportive atmosphere fostered my personal and professional growth. Now established as a permanent teacher at one of Pathumthani's schools, I can assert that BFITS has been instrumental in shaping my career. I am grateful for their confidence in my skills and eagerly anticipate further contributions to the educational community they have nurtured.
