Overview

This 12-week volunteer teaching programme is an amazing adventure that allows participants to dive into the rich, diverse culture and beauty of Thailand. Volunteer English teachers will have the opportunity to not only give back to the community, make a difference and touch lives, but also to grow and advance themselves both personally and professionally.

Why volunteer? You will have the chance to get some invaluable teaching experience. Also, volunteer teachers will have the unique opportunity to help disadvantaged Thai learners acquire the skills needed to improve their lives and communicate across cultures. You will have the chance to create fun and engaging lessons & inspire your students to learn English.

Interns in this volunteering programme will receive online pre-departure training to prepare them for their placements, as well as orientation once they are in the country. One huge advantage of taking part in the volunteer teacher program is the blend of training and practical experience the volunteer teachers will receive.

This volunteering internship program is held in the beachside town of Hua Hin, a historically important town as it is a holiday town of the Thai monarchy. While it is a beach resort town, the level of English language is low and there is a major emphasis on local children improving their English skills.
