    YOUR TEACHING EXPERIENCE

    If you’re considering teaching English in Thailand, you couldn’t find a more rewarding internship than this. Your role as a teacher includes up to 24 hours of in-class teaching, Monday-Friday. Your TEFL classes will be divided between primary and secondary school students, with an age range of 3 to 17. Lessons will focus on the spoken and written proficiency of the students. But don’t be afraid to make the lessons engaging and fun. Think music, film, food, drama – the list is endless! 

    Any support you need for activity planning will be on hand from your teaching colleagues. And you’ll have up to 15 hours for lesson planning, grading and school activities each week. At least two TEFL teachers are placed in each school, with round-the-clock support from your colleagues. Fancy teaching with someone you know? This is the perfect programme for friends and couples. Securing a placement together is based on availability, so we recommend applying early as possible. 

    Hear from our Past Interns

    I had always been interested in teaching English abroad. It is a fabulous way to sustain long-term travel and really integrate yourself into a new country and culture. Knowing this, when I saw the program with TEFL.ie, I thought it would be a great opportunity to spend a few months in Thailand.

    We both were motivated by the idea of travelling, and teaching English appeared to be an exciting and suitable way of transitioning into a working life abroad.

    Teaching English in Thailand has been an even better experience than I expected. The TEFL course especially helped me with classroom management and my lesson plans. I always had material to rely on in class. It has made the entire experience really relaxing.

    I went with this option as I had made several phone calls to Katie at the TEFL Institute to discuss the different options available. I felt this one suited me the most as this internship has everything set up, which made it very easy and less stressful to make the big move.
