Teaching opportunities in Thailand (and sometimes other countries in Asia)

Beware of several websites that are copying job ads ('stealing' is actually the correct word) from Ajarn dot com. We only post job ads that are sent DIRECTLY to us. After job ads have gone live, employers will sometimes contact us to make changes to a job description (perhaps it's a change of salary or working hours or teacher requirements) but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad. 

Trust the info, trust Ajarn!

— A new Filipino blogger!

A new Filipino blogger!

The Filipino teaching community in Thailand is huge, but not since the great and much-missed Ben Vacio (rest in peace, Ben) have we had a Filipino blogger on Ajarn. But hopefully that's all about to change as we welcome Teacher Lani. 


— What's Nan (North Thailand) like for teachers?

What's Nan (North Thailand) like for teachers?

One of the most gorgeous provinces in Thailand for scenery. Nan is beautifully remote, and just the right mix of temples and misty mountains. It must surely be a great choice for the teacher looking for the simple life?

— Two teachers, two outcomes

Two teachers, two outcomes

Both women arrived in Thailand around the same time. Both were qualified, motivated, and excited to teach. On paper, there was no reason why one would succeed and the other would struggle. But within four months, Julia had found her rhythm - and Sophie had packed her bags.

Stuff from the Thai newspapers (or social media) of interest to teachers

From boom to bust: What happens when Thai universities run out of students? - Thailand’s declining birth rate is beginning to take a toll on universities, according to experts. As of late June, many higher education institutes were still accepting applications due to unfilled seats – a stark contrast to the days when university admission was fiercely competitive.
