Your Trip Itinerary
Getting there
All qualified applicants will fly into Bangkok airport (BKK).
Orientation
Our pre-departure Zoom induction will help you to prepare for your exciting new life in Thailand before you touch down.
Then full onsite orientation on arrival in Bangkok will last around three days.
During orientation, you will learn about Thai culture, language and society, while forming friendships with other teachers. Previous interns spend free time exploring cultural landmarks—be sure to include Grand Palace and a Wat (or three) as well as sampling some tasty local dishes.
Your teaching experience
It’s time to get into the classroom! You’ll be teaching learners ranging in age from 5 – 18 years old with mixed English ability, giving you an incredible first-time teaching experience. You can expect around 25 hours of hands-on teaching per week, plus some time to plan lessons following the in-house curriculum.
Your goal as an intern English teacher will be focused on conversational English practice, helping your eager students to feel confident as they develop their skills. You’ll be able to ask advice from local teaching colleagues but don’t forget to bring your own creativity and ideas into the classroom, this is your chance to shine!
With weekends off and a great salary to enjoy, you will have a long list of sightseeing and travel plans. Book a boat trip, visit an ancient temple and grab an ice-cold mango smoothie with new friends. Prepare to check off a few amazing bucket list items!
After your internship
Congratulations, you did it! Make sure to celebrate this achievement. It’s time to decide if you’d like to see more of Asia, traveling or teaching (or both).
You might decide to extend your stay in Thailand and teach for another semester. The possibilities are endless for you now as a confident and experienced TEFL teacher.

Many teachers who begin in May, use the time to travel in between semesters and then extend their contract to teach for a second semester.
Am I the main teacher in the classroom?
Yes, you will have a class of your own to teach and you will be the main teacher in your classroom.
