Teaching Jobs

• Description:
  Looking for an opportunity to teach in one of the most professionally run schools in Thailand? This is an amazing opportunity for first timers or certified teachers with experience. This teaching job is no holiday, you have the same expectations as you would if you were teaching in a public or private school in North America, Australia, New Zealand or the UK. Having said that, you earn a great salary here and the holidays and your disposable income allow you to travel all around the region to experience the highlights of Thailand and the rest of Asia.
  
  Located in south western Bangkok, teachers have easy access to the city and all it’s amenities.
  
  When teachers first arrive they go through a two week orientation and training. The training focuses on the academic requirements and expectations for teachers. At the end of this training seminar all the teachers are taken with the Thai colleagues on a 2 day trip to a resort in Thailand.
  
  Each school is fully equipped with great resources: computer rooms, av rooms, swimming pools, internet access (ADSL) video, multi-media rooms. These schools are equipped with some of the best facilities I have seen in Asia. I am very impressed with the school layouts and the facilities and resources available to the teachers.
  
  
• PROGRAMS:
  These schools offer several programs that follow an open interactive methodologies approach to teaching and learning. Lesson and unit plans are signed off on by certified head teachers:
