Amazing education and community

July 18, 2025by: Jennifer Byres - CanadaProgram: The Language House TEFL - Join our Community & Teach Abroad!

This school gave me a very thorough and intense education that made me feel prepared to be a first time teacher. By having experienced teachers in the classroom, I felt as if every minute of each class was so valuable and important. Not only do you have fun and enjoyable lectures, but also the opportunity to teach your own trial classroom with no fear. The community of the current and past students, as well as the teachers and other expats is so warm, inviting, and helpful. This school supports you before, during and after your Language House education and is the community that everyone needs.

Unique and unforgettable

I went from working a dead end job to teaching English at a high school in Thailand in the blink of an eye, all arranged and supported by the Kids English Thailand team. All I had to do was book a flight, provide some documents, and smile and nod. Orientation week was great, it's nice to be part of a group of people who are all going through the same experience. Unfortunately things didn't work out for me due purely to personal issues that were effecting my health. A nightmare scenario, being all the way in Thailand, as you can probably imagine. However, Matthew and the team at KET were more than understanding and supportive throughout the whole ordeal of me deciding it was best for me to leave. And that's all you can ask for. Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't, for a variety of reasons. But having a team of professionals supporting your every move as a stranger in a foreign land sure makes things a lot easier, no matter what the outcome of your journey is. To summarise, as someone who didn't have the 'dream' experience of teaching English in Thailand, I am very grateful to have had the KET team supporting me every move from start to finish.
