Teaching English in Thailand

Thailand is stunningly beautiful, warm, and rich in culture and liveliness. It is also quite diverse in its landscapes and cultures, with mountains and hill tribes in the North and paradisiacal beaches and resort towns in the south and on the islands. It is the land where people constantly remind you to “mai-ben-rai”, to take it easy, relax, and enjoy life.

Who can teach English in Thailand?

Teaching English in Thailand is perfect for people who wish to experience a different side to life. Whether you’re looking to take a break from your 9-5 work life,  go on a paid gap year after graduation, or find a job with more meaning. Teaching can be a brilliant springboard to take a leap in any direction you choose.

If you’re looking for adventure, then teaching in Thailand could be for you!

What you'll need:

• Be 21-60 years of age
• Have a bachelors degree (any subject)
• 120 hour TEFL certificate
• An IELTS score of 5+, or an OEIC score of 600+  (for non-native speakers)

What you don’t need:

• Ability to speak Thai
• Previous teaching experience
• Travel experience

You don’t need any previous experience to start teaching in Thailand! If you’re new to teaching, you can learn everything you need to know through an online TEFL certification course and be ready to start working within a matter of weeks. To help you really settle in, most of our positions in Thailand come with an additional free in-class training course.

Many teaching positions in Thailand require native speakers (UK/US/CAN/AUS/NZ/SA passport holders), however, it can also be possible for non-natives to secure well-paid teaching jobs in Thailand. For details on non-native requirements and employability please get in touch and our recruitment team will help to discuss your options.

The majority of schools in Thailand require teachers to hold a bachelor’s degree (in any subject) in order to qualify for a work permit. If you don’t have a degree but wish to teach in Thailand, please get in touch. In some circumstances a work permit can still be provided through other means.

When teaching English in Thailand, or elsewhere, you won’t need to speak the local language. In fact, it’s usually discouraged to speak any language other than English in the classroom.

If you don’t meet all these requirements, you can still apply through the form below and we’ll help to find what opportunities we can offer you.

Studying online was really simple and convenient. I completed the course in about 6 weeks by studying after work each evening.
