What is an intro video and how to make it?

An intro video is a short video of you introducing yourself. It doesn't have to be long, 30-60 seconds is perfect and you can just record it with your phone. You can talk about your name, where you are from, your education, your experience, and why you want to teach English in Thailand. You can also talk about your hobbies and interests. It is a great way to show your personality and make a good first impression.

Do I need a degree to teach English in Thailand?

While a bachelor's degree is generally required to teach English in Thailand, some schools may hire teachers without a degree depending on their experience and qualifications. Having a degree significantly increases your chances of finding a teaching position and obtaining a work permit legally. However, if you don't have a degree, there are still opportunities available - you just need to be flexible and persistent in your job search.

Do I need a TEFL certificate to teach English in Thailand?

While not always mandatory, obtaining a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate is highly advantageous when teaching English in Thailand. It equips you with essential teaching skills and methodologies, enhancing your effectiveness in the classroom. Many schools prefer or even require candidates to have a TEFL certification. As part of our commitment to quality education, we offer a comprehensive TEFL program through our sister company, TEFL One, located in Bangkok. This program provides in-depth training and practical experience to prepare you for a successful teaching career in Thailand.

Can I teach English in Thailand without experience?

Yes, you can teach English in Thailand without prior teaching experience. Many schools are open to hiring new teachers and often provide on-the-job training or mentorship programs. Having a TEFL certificate can also compensate for a lack of experience by providing you with foundational teaching skills and boosting your employability.

Can non-native English speakers teach English in Thailand?

Absolutely! While some schools prefer native English speakers, many are happy to hire non-native speakers who demonstrate proficiency in English and possess the necessary teaching qualifications. Your ability to teach effectively and connect with students is often more important than your native language. Anyone with the passion and skills for teaching is encouraged to apply.
