RE: Why you should teach English in Thailand

in #teaching6 years ago

I taught adults at Wall Street English in Bangkok. It was a blast. Five years went by so fast and the hours were great because I worked what they called, Peak Time, 5pm to 9pm. Teaching adults was better than teaching kids because you could actually become friends with your students. I still keep in regular contact with many of my former students. The company took care of that annoying 90 day report and that one time a year you had to go to immigration took less than 5 minutes sometimes. (I think they must have paid a lot to immigration.)

Korea is great for teaching English as well, but you'll have to deal with that cold weather. All Korean schools will fly you from your home country, give you a free furnished room, a bonus and airfare back to your home country when you contract is up.

To be honest, life in Thailand is better than anywhere else. Thai people are usually nicer to foreigners than in other countries, but Thailand just seems to have a way of taking all your money every month. 555

All of what you wrote is true, but sometimes I actually enjoyed teaching kids better than adults once I had "control" of the room. Kids will be interested in silly games and they never muck about on their phones because they are not allowed. Adults will be chatting in Thai on their LINE program right in front of you :)
