Description: Want to enjoy some real school playtime?

School never used to be like this! Teach English in this tropical paradise and you'll be marking books and drawing up lesson plans on the golden sands of the Gulf of Thailand. Helping hands and warm hearts are needed to give youngsters a boost in government-run primary schools on the island, where teachers use their skills to broaden horizons of local children by helping them learn English. But we wouldn't want you to get bored so you can also get involved in arts and crafts, sports and a host of other extra-curricular activities. This is a really rewarding project and your time and effort will have a real impact on the lives of local children. Our TEFL certification is included to give you ideas for fun educational activities.
