Already have a TEFL?

teachers in thailand school

Please tell us if you are already qualified, we can fast track your application and the program fee reduced. If you're an experienced and already qualified teacher we can connect you with some higher salary positions.  For your TEFL certificate to be accepted by our team, it must be fully accredited and internationally recognised. 

Housing Options

Teachers in Thailand

You will receive a housing allowance or a higher salary to compensate with all our placements. We'll help you get set up with a place once in Thailand and you may even find yourself living with some of the other teachers you meet during orientation or once in the group chats! 

 

Typically the accommodation is very basic, but a good standard for Thailand and Asia in general. You will be required to put down a deposit of around £150 which will be paid back to you when moving out. You will also need to pay for some utilities such as electricity which is very cheap at around £15-20 per month.

Other financials

Other financial aspects have to be taken in to account when accepting your offer onto the programme such as: visa cost, criminal record check, degree authentication, flight and insurance costs along with spending money and initial rent deposit. We estimate the average total spend of these extra things to be around £1800-2200. 

Our Price Beat Guarantee ensures we offer the lowest program fee. Find a cheaper option elsewhere, and we'll beat it! 😉

Friends & Couples

Teachers in Thailad

What better way to come on a crazy adventure to Thailand than signing up with your other half or group of friends, please let us know when applying if you are part of a group or couple. We can place you together in the same school/city and you can start your new adventure together!

 

Larger groups are also welcome to apply, but please note you may have split up into smaller groups for placements, as quite often schools in Thailand do not find it desirable to hire a group of friends together.

Awards & Recognitions

For 4 years running TFT has picked up the award of top teach abroad provider on Go Overseas! With special recognitions to fun, support & safety of our programs.
