TEFL Course Overview and Philosophy

Through our 18 years of experience in the education community of Thailand, we have evolved.

Our perspective and understanding of the needs of Thai schools and their students have brought on this evolution. Over time and through our role as education consultants, we feel the need to begin training teachers that specifically target the Thai context.

We recognize that Thailand is unique, and as such, our teachers need to be equipped with the right tools to successfully and efficiently deliver the kind of quality that results in achievement. With this thinking in mind, we are determined to provide a quality service that adheres to the standards of teaching in Thailand whilst positively affecting the lives of both teachers and students.

The course runs for six weeks with five contact hours per day. Classes are not held on Saturdays and Sundays. Weekends are set aside for immersing yourself in the culture you’ll be living in, working in, and enjoying.
