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. An employer will sometimes ask us to make changes to a job description but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad. Trust the info, trust Ajarn! View all the current teaching positions on the Ajarn jobs page. 


— I actually don't mind gate duty

I actually don't mind gate duty

Gate duty facilitates interactions with parents, keeping them informed about their children's education. It also helps me memorize students' names and understand them better outside the classroom. Additionally, it fosters camaraderie with Thai teachers and enables me to learn their language.


— Send your letters to the Ajarn Postbox

Send your letters to the Ajarn Postbox

If you've got anything to say on the topic of teaching in Thailand, the Ajarn Postbox is the place to say it. Latest letters include 'Thailand is becoming a letdown for teachers?'


— How I got out of teaching

How I got out of teaching

I gave up the classroom but still managed to stay in Thailand. I wanted to write this is show others that there are other options out there. Some people love teaching and that is great, other people just love living in Asia and just teach to stay here - and that was me.



— What's Ubon Ratchathani (North East Thailand) like for teachers?

What's Ubon Ratchathani (North East Thailand) like for teachers?

You can picnic by the river and swap information and war stories with local ex-pats. It's got plenty of shopping opportunities but more importantly, loads of teaching jobs as well.


Do you live and teach outside Bangkok? Please help us update one of our region guides if you can spare a few minutes. 


— How to motivate your students

How to motivate your students

If you lack teaching experience then using an effective reward scheme is a great way to get students motivated whilst you are developing your own pedagogical skill set. As you gain experience you are sure to discover and master a variety of strategies to keep your English language learners motivated!

"It all started when I offered to help out a friend at her language school"

Our next cost of living survey comes from Graham, who earns 60K in a good month by taking on private students. It's not something that semi-retired Graham set out to do but once your name gets around the moobarn as a decent teacher, you'll never be short of requests. The hard part can be saying no.
